Within the space of a week, Elizabeth Banks’s comedy horror film Cocaine Bear has rampaged, gakked-up and bug-eyed, into the…

Image via Universal In September 1985, a plane carrying about $14 million worth of cocaine started dumping its payload over Chattahoochee National Forest in Northern Georgia. Eventually, the remnants of the plane, its pilot (Andrew Carter Thornton II, also known as “The Cocaine Cowboy”), and the cocaine itself would be found. Although most of it was intact when it dropped, it wasn’t left entirely untouched. A black bear, sadly, found the coke, and after ingesting it passed away. In real life, that’s where the…

‘If I wanted to go to war, I would have joined the army,” says record industry maverick Stevo, reflecting on his life in the music business and his record label Some Bizzare , home to artists including Soft Cell, Cabaret Voltaire, the The, Psychic TV and Einstürzende Neubauten.However, looking back on Stevo’s journey, it does sometimes look like a war. He has been stabbed and repeatedly headbutted; he terrorised record labels, even threatening to shoot Seymour Stein of Sire Records in the kneecaps; he was banned from the…

To the editor: I am in total agreement with columnist Robin Abcarian that Professor Erika López Prater at Hamline University in Minnesota should not have been fired. She gave full warning that the picture of the prophet Muhammad would be shown in her syllabus, during class and immediately before presenting the artwork.The class was totally aware of and encouraged to respond or not view the image if students found it objectionable. No one did.It was an art history class. Art work is shown and discussed. It was a university…

I have worked with a lot of writers on the festival circuit, most of them delightful – but I have never seen such an adoring literary audience as I did when I was on stage with Fay Weldon. These were second-generation feminists, working mothers, divorcees, and they absolutely loved her for pouring her rage and impish sense of fun into her books – not just The Life and Loves of a She Devil but The Hearts and Lives of Men, Down Among the Women and more. She was prolific, which she always complained meant nobody took her…

Even the most ardent of horror fans have grown numb to the endless procession of remakes and reboots to have come along over the last two decades, with a great deal of them proving to be inferior retreads of the originals that up the gore in an effort to compensate for a lack of freshness. Piranha 3D certainly has plenty of that, but it’s also got camp charm and silliness to spare. Director Alexandre Aja had cultivated a reputation as one of the genre’s fastest-rising filmmaking talents, but his approach to terror was…

Game previews should be taken with some skepticism. When you see one, you are looking at a single slice of the game, carefully curated to accentuate the best parts of the gameplay and presentation, while minimizing any potential shortcomings. When I had the chance to play 15 minutes of Bayonetta 3 behind closed doors at PAX West, I applied every bit of healthy cynicism I could muster, and came away with one conclusion. I think the Switch exclusive could be in the running for game of the year. It’s that good. A…

Highland Systems is adding to its fearsome vehicle lineup in extraordinary style, with an 11-seat armored speed demon it calls the Kronos. Clearly inspired by the manta ray, this hybrid beast rocks folding wings and 1,200 horsepower of propulsion.Founded by Ukrainians, and now based between the UAE and the UK, Highland Systems is an enigma of a company, describing itself as an R&D and project management mob corralling a bunch of engineering specialists from around the defense world. Last time we bumped into these…

Dir: William Brent Bell. Starring: Isabelle Fuhrman, Julia Stiles, Rossif Sutherland, Matthew Finlan. 15, 99 minutes.A prequel to Orphan is such an odd proposition. Jaume Collet-Serra’s nasty but ultimately conventional 2009 horror film has only stuck around in the collective consciousness due to its listicle-friendly twist: the reveal that Esther, the homicidal young girl adopted by Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) Coleman, is in fact a 33-year-old Estonian woman named Leena Klammer, who was born with a…
