For many fans it’s been a long time coming and she doesn't disappoint with her personal blend of delicate indie melodies and fuller punk sound, bridging similarities with her twin sister Alison's band Swearin', who joins her on stage on backing vocals and guitar. There's an atmosphere of triumph surrounding Katie...

By Leslie Byron Pitt @Afrofilmviewer After a more than favourable year at Cannes and the Academy Awards, Wild Tales finally lands itself on Home Release for members of the great unwashed like myself. While the likes of Mark Kermode and Peter Bradshaw have kind words with this vengeful, dark comedy. I found despite some laughs along the way, my enjoyment of the Wild Tales to be wildly inconsistent. The set-up is an intriguing one. An anthology of six twisted tales...

On Stage Mishaps Here I’ll be putting two stories into one tiny little segment, because I’m mad like that. Also in a way they’re both kind of non-stories and by pushing them together I’m trying to get one decent story out of it. STORY THE FIRST is that Dave Grohl, ‘rocker’ best known for his work with the ‘Foo Fighters’ or, if you’re my dad, ‘the Foos’, broke his actual leg on stage in Gothenburg last week. Technically it was...

By Kerry Goldhawke, TLE Correspondent  A good cup of tea, boiling an egg to perfection and stumbling upon cash in the street have been revealed in a list of 50 things which ‘make our day’. The research of 2,000 adults found that for many of us the simple pleasures in life can make the difference between having a good day or a bad one.

By Felicity Evans  @eff_evans HBO’s stylish and compelling cop drama returns to Sky Atlantic on 22 June with a fresh story and new characters…    ‘Well, I can't say the job made me this way. More like bein' this way made me right for the job’ Detective Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey), True Detective Of all the justified praise heaped on True Detective’s first season for the quality of its acting, photography, dialogue and setting, surely most significant is the show’s...
