We have you covered if you were wondering about any news regarding the upcoming Yorgos Lanthimos film, Kinds of Kindness. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Lanthimos has released some of the biggest films of the last few years, and his latest, Poor Things, just won big at the 2024 Academy Awards, including a coveted Best Actress win for Miss Emma Stone. Of course, when it comes to major directors like Lanthimos, you can't keep him away for long, because he already has another film in the works—and that, my…

Jason Sudeikis felt, weirdly, not that weird when he stepped into the Oval Office of the White House, back in March. Before he was the creator and star of Apple TV+’s feelgood global sensation Ted Lasso, he spent almost a decade writing and performing sketch comedy on the US show Saturday Night Live.

Growing up in a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), there were no cinemas. In her 20s, fleeing war, she lived for eight years in a refugee camp in Tanzania with her husband and children.

In 2011, a Burnley businessman named Dave Fishwick established a lending company, Burnley Savings and Loans Limited. The 2008 financial crash had deprived the area of opportunity; small businesses were struggling to make ends meet. Fishwick, who grew up poor in Burnley, but who later set up a successful minivan business, began loaning money to locals, often people he knew by name. “It’s quite antediluvian in a way,” says the actor Rory Kinnear. “All the people he lends money to, he wants to meet them, see what they’re…
