Jurassic World: Film Review

By Adam Clark @AdamClarkers Jurassic World flips from nought to preposterous far too quickly and in doing so leaves behind any of the thoughtfulness of the original Jurassic Park. There might be an argument for allowing the film to stand on its own two feet except for the fact that the film itself is so desperate to crowbar in as many callbacks as possible. Rather than reboot the series, it’s set up as a sequel in the near future. Jurassic...

Beaujolais: Beyond Fleurie

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor Sat in a pub last Friday evening I pitched to my friend the topic of light-bodied wines. He listed the three that immediately sprung to mind: Burgundy Pinot Noir, Californian Zinfandel and South African Pinotage. A credible list, but for me the Mecca of fruity, easy-drinking red wine is Beaujolais. The ballyhooed cherry-red vintages that emanate from the small patch of France offer rich and varied wines that are delicate yet full of character. But...

Record Review: Donald Cumming – Out Calls Only

By Will Bateman (@WillBateman6611) Donald Cumming's career began at the peak of the post-Strokes/Libertines/Killers indie-pandemic with New York hipsters The Virgins and their self-titled debut. They subsequently strayed into more 80's-pop territory with their second outing Strike Gently, after unsurprisingly signing to indie king Julian Casablancas' Cult Records and surprisingly splitting soon there-after. Climbing clear of the wreckage two years later Cumming has re-emerged with Out Calls Only. Here, he takes the notably personal subject matter of the ending of his marriage...

Everyone’s Going To Die : Film Review

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle Everyone's Going To Die: an unusual name for an aptly unusual film. The debut film of intriguing British Director Collective Jones EGTD is an offbeat "romantic comedy", the words rom-com being said in VERY large inverted commas. This is genre-bending stuff, no simple heart-warming, or syrupy endings here. The rom-com element is reminiscent of Lost in Translation in that the romance is all about what does not, or has not yet happened. The moments before, the...

An Idiot’s Adventures In Gameland – Steve McNeil

#5 - What Am I Going On About?! As regular readers of this column will know, this week I’ve been all-consumed by E3 – the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Sadly for me, I’ve not been sent to Los Angeles, where all the action is. Instead, I’ve been in an incredibly well-heated TV studio in Shepherd’s Bush (read: “pit-stains”) where I’ve been anchoring the live coverage for video-gaming telly-box channel Ginx TV. On Monday, our show ran for 9 whole hours, thankfully...

Appropriate Behaviour: An Interview with Desiree Akhavan

Interviewed by Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle As a massive fan of Desiree Akhavan, 'multi-hyphenated' writer-director-actor of this years wonderful indie-flick Appropriate Behaviour, I had to dose myself up with calming herbal pills (rhodiola rosea) and rub some lavender oil into my wrists before our interview yesterday. Thankfully Desiree was as gracious, lovely and as cool a presence as one could hope for within the articificial context of a phone interview. Aware that Desiree has been doing a lot of interviews recently,...
