Diana Quick makes a return to the big screen – after a six-year break – with a first-rate performance in a second-rate (perhaps third-rate) film. Forever Young is a ploddingly drab British sci-fi drama that really doesn’t have what it takes to keep up with Quick; she stars as a 70-year-old writer taking an unlicensed drug to reverse the ageing process. It’s impossible to take your eyes off her: intellectually engaged and emotionally transparent. It’s a pity then that the script is unserious and uninteresting, with nothing…

Open Netflix at any given time, and the “trending” menu is inevitably peppered with true crime—tales of murder, cults, scandal, and beyond, all rendered with a stylistic polish that makes binging salacious stories feel like a not-completely-trashy experience. Black Mirror knows you can’t tear your eyes away from true crime, a subject it puts through the wringer in season-six episode “Loch Henry.”How Has Ortegas Changed and Grown Coming into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 | io9 Interview“Loch Henry” very…

Is it true Alan Rickman was your best man? Bauhaus66It is. He was responsible for my wife and me meeting. I worked with Alan when I was 14 and he convinced my now-wife to cast me in Impresario of Smyrna at the Old Red Lion theatre pub in London, about 28 years ago. It seemed only logical that I asked him to be my best man. He took me to Ireland the night before the wedding to the premiere of a Pat O’Connell film – I forget which one – and we made it back in time for the wedding the next day.Which line from Lock Stock gets…
