By Michael McNulty There’s nothing forgettable about In the Mood for Love, but and be honest, when was the last time you thought about whacking it on the DVD player and settling in to watch it on a Friday night? Released in 2000, Wong Kar Wai’s film was fifteen months in the making and a largely unscripted and improvised affair. It was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes and although it didn’t snag the festival’s top prize, it picked...
By Linda Marric To have a film based on Winston Churchill is one thing, to have it based on particularly dark episode in the mans’s life is another thing altogether. In Churchill Jonathan Teplitzky offers a historical biopic like no other. Spanning, not years, but rather a few days in the legendary figure’s life, the film attempts to reconcile its audience with a story which shows the man in, perhaps, not the most positive of lights. Basing the story during...
As both Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn visited the devastating scene of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the PM pledged a full public probe into the blaze that claimed many lives. As we reported yesterday there was a marked contrast between the Labour leader who spoke to survivors and members of the community, attended a church service and spent time listening to those affected and the Prime Minister who was criticised widely for not letting the public near her. She announced a...
By Linda Marric J.K Simmons, Eddie Izzard and Luke Wilson stars in Ash Brannon’s new animation feature about a Tibetan mastiff dog who dreams of becoming a rock star. This cute and thoroughly likeable movie does a good job in keeping you entertained, but is sadly let down by a less than accomplished screenplay. Dealing with themes of teenage awakening and adventure away from home, Rock Dog manages to be fun as well as moralising without ever resorting to cheap...
By Michael McNulty Ed Mosberg opens Destination Unknown slowly dressing into his perfectly preserved concentration camp uniform. Its thick black stripes serve as a morbid metaphor for his continued emotional imprisonment, for although Ed and the 12 others who feature in this documentary are survivors of the horrors of the Holocaust, they are not truly free. They’re experiences in the Nazi concentration camps and on the death marches will always be with them. Producer, Llion Roberts, having collected over 14...
Two fairground workers were today charged over the death of a seven-year-old girl who was crushed to death on a bouncy castle. Summer Grant suffered serious injuries while playing on the inflatable which was swept 'some distance' at a funfair in Harlow, Essex, on March 26, 2016. The youngster, from Norwich, Norfolk, was taken to the nearby Princess Alexandra Hospital but died a few hours later. Shelby Thurston, 25, and William Thurston, 28, both fairground employees, of Wilburton, Cambs., were...
Prime minister Theresa May chose not to meet any survivors of the tragedy, citing "security" concerns.
Thousands of people have signed a petition to stop a 'concrete cabuncle' being built on an island made famous by crime writer Agatha Christie. The owners of the luxury hotel on Burgh Island - where rooms cost from £500 a night - want to build a pool house on a rocky outcrop. It will be linked by a bridge spanning the water in between, known as Mermaid Pool. The controversial design - the result of an architectural competition - was...
