Zip and Zap and the Marble Gang: Film Review

Shades of Spielbergian energy cast an endearing silhouette over this airy but assured big-screen adaptation of Spain’s much-loved 1950s comic book series ‘Zipi y Zape’; an affectionately adventurous vigour that matches the irresistibly mischievous vim of José Escobar Saliente’s original strip. Sent away to summer school as a punishment for their unruly behaviour, the titular twins (Raúl Rivas & Daniel Cerezo) find themselves at the mercy of an oppressive teaching establishment that forbids all forms of recreation & entertainment. Determined...

Reasons to be optimistic about Brexit

So today is the day Theresa May fritters our future away, the jesters will sing. What seemed like a triumphant independence day back in June has become a running joke ever since, and those who championed it are the ones left sporting cap n' bells carrying a mock sceptre.
