Review by Jack Deslandes Filmed entirely in one take, Victoria is a roller coaster ride of nail-biting tension and heart-stopping suspense that, if you make it through, will leave you bitter, cold, and gasping for breath. The story takes place between the hours of 4 and 6 am as it follows a young woman’s night, which quickly descends into a world of class A drugs and violent criminal gangsters. In a night that begins with her carelessly partying in an...

Review by Leslie Byron Pitt Scandinavian fiction has gained a significant amount of attention over the last few years. With good reason too. Whether it's film or television, there’s been an abundance of mature, adult drama. Be it critiques on masculinity such as the 2014 feature Force Majeure, or the power play politics that feature in the likes of Adam Prices’ well received TV Drama series Borgen. As primarily a film writer, I often don’t have the time to venture...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor A video has emerged of a youth aggressively threatening a passenger on the Tyne and Wear Metro. The footage, taken over the weekend, shows him losing it with a passenger. The two-minute exchange was filmed by a fellow passenger. The man filming believes the two men knew each other. He repeatedly screams ‘I’m gonna punch ya. Stop laughing’ before banging on the train’s window. His acquaintances, who randomly start spitting at the passengers, eventually walk...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor George Osborne laid into Boris Johnson during BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. He called his Tory rivals “dishonest” and “economically illiterate,” over their Leave campaign. He said: “What's not honest and what's economically illiterate is to say we can have all the economic benefits of the EU and at the same time leave. That's having your cake and eating it". However, the Chancellor’s claims that Brexit will cost families £4,300 a year by 2030 and...

Sport News 24/7 Tottenham Hotspur. Described as many people’s ‘second team’ and it’s not hard to work out why. Likeable, unthreatening and traditionally executing a brand of exciting ‘who will score the most’ football. The teams have always been brimming with personality and heroes. Over the decades, Greves, Gazza, Linker, Ginola, Brazil, Ardiles, and Klinsman (there are loads and I could go on) to name a few have all entertained and delighted at the Lane. This season, the team boasts a...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The Treasury has claimed that the national income of Britain could be six per cent smaller by 2030, if we “Brexit.” The report, which runs at 200 pages, concludes that the cut in Britain’s GDP would be around £4,300 per year for each household. They think this will be caused by higher trade barriers, which will damage exports. Investment will also be lower from abroad and from within the UK itself. Immediately the Vote Leave...

By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Thirty Two.  Back again after a short break with a long list that I’ve been putting together over the last two weeks. We also kick off with a weird Michael Kamen cue from the film Brazil before getting into the theme from the score to TV show Humans. I’m obsessed with Cristobal Tapia De Veer at the moment and am re-watching...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor A Conservative voter who became a viral hit after crying on BBC’s Question Time about tax credit cuts has joined the Labour Party. Michelle Dorrell has accused the Conservative party of “malice and contempt.” She made a passionate speech about how the Tories have brought financial pain on her family. Now she has defected from the Conservative party and is now a members of Jeremy Corbyn’s party. She said the Tory government were responsible for...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The World Energy Council has said that the UK is at severe risk of a cyber attack against its energy infrastructure. Christopher Frei, director general at the World Energy Council, said the UK was one of several countries facing a growing threat. He said: “In the last two years this issue has really come close to – if not to the top of – the issues keeping energy leaders awake at night. “So cyber is...
