The Mail on Sunday revealed the series of messages that were sent by Marney. In these messages, the 25-year-old said that Miss Markle would “taint” the Royal Family with ‘her seed’ and […]

“This was an ill-advised off-air conversation which the presenter regrets.” The audio of a conversation about equal pay between two of the BBC’s highest-paid journalists – John Humphrys and Jon Sopel – has been leaked. Earlier this week,  Carrie Gracie resigned as BBC China editor and in doing so, she released a letter which said the BBC has a “secretive And illegal” […]

To be fair, it’s an anagram of ‘his hotel.’ During the week, US President Donald Trump is reported to have referred to Haiti, El Salavador and a number of countries as “shithole countries” during a meeting with lawmakers in the White House. “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” the president […]

To begin with, Gore Verbinksi (Pirates of the Carribean) has dropped out of directing Gambit, the Channing Tatum-starring flick. No new director is set yet, […]

By order of the Peaky Blinders! Given the fact that Season 4 of Peaky Blinders has only just arrived in the US, it’s not too surprising to learn that some of our cousins across the Atlantic aren’t too familiar with the Shelby gang. Obviously, if you haven’t seen the show then there are spoilers below. […]

Superb acting throughout. Now that Gary Oldman’s firmly established as the frontrunner in the Oscars race, plenty of people are somewhat surprised that the star of Leon, True Romance and Nil By Mouth has never won the award. The closest that the actor got to winning an Academy Award was in 2012 when his performance […]

100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Wicker Man, Alien, 28 Days Later, Kill List, The Descent, Hellraiser, Event Horizon, Witchfinder General, Don’t Look Now. There’s no denying that British directors, writers and the film industry at large have a proud history of horror, but it’s looking like there’s going to be a new name that’s added […]

If it’s half as good as Peaky Blinders, we’re in for a treat!

He’s back. Hell yes!! From the moment that Idris Elba destroyed that door in the very first episode of Luther, we knew that this was a show that’s going to be unlike anything else.

We’re promised ‘the best Venom’ possible. This will be great! The Avengers: Infinity War might have every single Infinity Stone and 1,734 superheroes in their favour, but Venom has one thing that film fans want to see, Tom Hardy.

No excuse to miss it now. It’s superb. “He loved cricket and Doctor Who and weed and Man City, I’d say 5th after that was being in Oasis” If ever one line summed up the anarchic brilliance of Mat Whitecross’ superb documentary, Supersonic, it’s that description of Oasis’ bassist, Guigsy. Since debuting last year, Supersonic has […]

Set record because the superb film is on tonight. “You’re not an asshole, Mark.

Superb. The right to free speech is an important principle in any stable democracy and the same can be said for a relationship.

From the director of Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire. Essential TV. Throughout awards season, you’ve probably heard Ridley Scott’s new film, All the Money in the World, being mentioned.

He’s D.E.N.N.I.S systeming us all. Given the fact that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is better than banging hooooooors while eating rum ham, fans of the superb comedy are eagerly awaiting the gang’s return.

Prepare to be terrified. If Marvel conquered the superhero world, it’s fair to say that the Blumhouse Productions are making also making a killing at the box-office.

Fans would love this. Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagle! When it comes to pitching the idea of a potential Scrubs reunion to studio executives, we really hope that the producers of the beloved comedy would take a leaf out of Turk’s book.

This will be essential TV. Given the fact that Game of Thrones is a pop-culture phenomenon, it’s standard practice that every little piece of casting and production news is reported.

Same. After hearing about this case of arachnid-inspired fire in the city of Redding, California, we’re curious just how big this particular spider was? Are we talking Shelob here?

People are split. Aside from Tommy Wiseau’s lovable madness and Gary Oldman’s unquestionable brilliance, the Golden Globes provided its usual mix of jokes, moments and political rallying.

To be fair, they had time to prepare. Another saga is complete. Just like Fabregas to Barcelona, Bale to Real Madrid, Suarez to Barcelona and countless other inevitable transfers that were drawn out to death, Philippe Coutinho is off to Barcelona in a deal worth a deal worth £142m. While Jürgen Klopp was upbeat about the transfer and stressed that “we […]

Spot on.

The first episode was excellent. While the majority of great comedy shows are heavily influenced by the area in which they’re set – Peckham (Only Fools and Horses), Slough (The Office), Craggy Island (Father Ted) and the boring school life in suburban England (The Inbetweeners) being fine examples -what elevates the best comedies  is their […]
