By James McAllister Those who are familiar with Kleber Mendonça Filho’s 2013 debut feature, Neighbouring Sounds, will no doubt recognise the impassioned socio-political discourse that emanates from the narrative ornamentations of his intriguing but inconsistent sophomore effort. Returning to his hometown of Recife in northeast Brazil, Aquarius sees the critic-turned-director once more take aim at the capitalist sharks who wish to gentrify areas of historic beauty (both in Brazil and across the globe) for their own financial gain, as a...

Yesterday a man went on a murderous rampage through the streets of London in a car, killing three people and injuring many others, some remain in critical condition, and the death toll could rise. A police officer, PC Palmer, was stabbed to death, and another woman jumped into the Thames to avoid the vehicle. John Bercow, the Speaker, even closed Parliament, and kept MPs' inside the building for hours until the terror threat subsided. Mrs May paid tribute to PC...

Of all the disturbing photos, live video reports and sensationalist news accounts of the shocking events at Westminster yesterday satirist site News Thump was the rag that got it right this morning. The people of London, it reported, showed their defiance by "stoically remaining unfriendly and really quite impatient" on their way to work, with one woman heard shouting ‘Oi, do one you cycling dickhead’, as if it was a normal day. In times like this it is important that we...

Maybe it's something to do with the arrival of spring, but March has been pretty chill compared to the big releases of January and February. This month's playlist is all about dream pop, bedroom rock and the softer side of R&B. Kicking us off is Frank Ocean, our cover star this month, returning with another Blonded slow jam in 'Chanel', which contains one of March's most infectious hooks. Elsewhere, the debut album from Jay Som dropped, providing a welcome cut...

By Josh Coates Yet another man decided the world simply wasn’t fair and that it was time for him to take matters into his own hands today. He got in his car and drove to the seat of power in the UK to teach us all a lesson. Unfortunately for him he just came across as a pathetic coward who needlessly took the lives of three innocent people and injured around many others. Luckily for him he also died. He...

By Linda Marric @linda_marric In Another Mother’s Son, Jenny Seagrove plays a widow shopkeeper living in Nazi occupied Jersey during World War II. The film is a well meaning piece of historical drama, but sadly for its makers, this messy production is let down by way too much schmaltz and what can only be described as an overly descriptive narrative. Seagrove stars as Louisa a defiant woman who risks her own life and that of those nearest and dearest to...

A retailer which launched a Buckfast Easter egg says its website crashed due to the high demand. D-Bees are selling the treat which comes with a chocolate egg, a miniature bottle of the notorious tonic wine and some Buckfast merchandise. The company has attracted interest in the past after creating a Christmas Buckfast hamper and a Valentine's collection of the drink. But it appears to be the Easter package which has drawn the most support from the beverage's loyal following....

Next week Article 50 will officially be triggered marking the start of negotiations that will culminate in Britain's exit from the European Union. With the government clearly clueless about how to navigate through choppy waters social media has exploded with hilarious GIFs mocking the depressing state in which we find ourselves. To celebrate what is sure to be a catastrophic own goal, we've compiled the best of them: I see the #Article50 thing is going well pic.twitter.com/1TeIY4VtyB — o_0 (@bobfarrell) March 21,...

Back in 2015 The LadBible launched a social experiment aimed at "restoring our faith in humanity" and subliminally quashing negative stereotypes around race and social status. They filmed a guy walking around Manchester dropping a wallet in front of the public to see how they would react, finding all the unsuspecting suspects weren't utter arsewipes after all and returned it like good little citizens. Modern journalism, hey. The problem with the stunt wasn't the evident lack of editorial creativity, but the fact...
