It’s been less than a year since the Slow Horses season 4 finale, and the banished detectives of Slough House are as slow to recover from those tragic events as the audience. On the surface, not much has changed with our plucky but disreputable agents, but episode 1 reveals that the events of the previous season have left some major holes in the confidence and sanity of Jackson Lamb’s (Gary Oldman) stable of donkeys. Just as the windows and cabinets of Slough House remain unrepaired, so too do our characters. Slow Horses gets right into the mayhem and keeps a…

It’s easy to feel invisible in a city of 8.8 million people – even more so if you’re one of London’s estimated 12,000 rough sleepers. Mike (Frank Dillane) seems to take it mostly in his stride; he’s figured out the best spot to hide his meagre possessions (behind two commercial bins) and only seems mildly irritated when he’s woken from his spot on the pavement by an over-zealous street preacher with a PA system. But to the legions of fast-moving commuters in East London, he might as well be a ghost. Even when Mike does receive a small gesture of kindness from a stranger, desperate…

Idea To Design What do we love so much about naturally aspirated engines? Perhaps the musicality, or the responsiveness, or the combination of both that creates an emotionally rewarding experience with every stab at the throttle pedal. Well, whatever underpins that appeal, I can say for sure that nothing turns it up to 11 quite like a set of individual throttle bodies. Enter Project NSX. Already providing a symphony of surround sound from the mid-mounted engine and making almost enough power to satisfy – the scene was set. ITBs. More power. More sound. Less weight. More… mechanical sex appeal. I want it.…

Ben Stiller. Actor. Filmmaker. Comedian. Soda maven?No longer content to dominate the worlds of film and television, Stiller has branched out into the beverage industry, launching his own line of “Stiller’s Soda.”According to the company’s official website, Stiller created the product because he “truly loves soda. In fact, he always has. That’s why he created a range of healthy carbonated beverages, inspired by the classic flavors of old, that are seriously good to drink. So if you’re looking for soda that’s all natural, low in calories, and tastes exactly like soda… that’s us!”At launch there are three Stiller’s Soda flavors: Lemon Lime, Shirley Temple,…

Sister Wives is back, and Kody Brown is eager to make another massive change in his life. Or at least that’s how he presented things. Kody was typical Kody, until he cracked it all open, switching positions by the end of the shockingly candid conversation. Despite currently being monogamous, Kody revealed to his wife, Robyn Brown, that he’d like to consider being polygamous again. With caveats, of course. The crucial dinner chat was prompted by Robyn’s relative asking if they were still open to a plural marriage. Eager at first, there’s an almost immediate switch within this single chat, thanks…

If you’re a Mario franchise fan, odds are you have a favorite 2D and 3D game. It’s tough to compare them directly, given the series’s extensive history, and everyone has their top pick. For me, it’s Super Mario 3D World, but Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes very close. Nintendo was on a roll with 3D Marios after the polarizing Sunshine, and all the hard work on the first Mario Galaxy game culminated in Galaxy 2, which builds upon many of the same concepts and “plusses them up.” Still A Classic For A Reason I Dove Right In All Over Again…

Therapy, as we know, can take a number of different forms. For Australian multi-instrumentalists and Nick Cave cohort, Warren Ellis, this process of self-enrichment encompasses a wildlife sanctuary for abused animals in Sumatra. Filmmaker Justin Kurzel captures Ellis’s musical theorising and grey-beard musings and then contextualises them against a trip to the titular park where we meet Femke den Haas and her team of caretakers, whose process of healing and being healed by the animals parallels the subject’s own self-care methods while also forming the film’s central thesis.Yet, in presenting these parallel subjects, Ellis Park is a mixed success. Its raw materials – Ellis…
