Exclusive: Gangster drama features stars of Gomorrah, The Young Montalbano and Suburra.
Italian outfit Minerva Pictures is launching sales on Toni D’Angelo’s [pictured] Naples-set gangster melodrama Falchi, taking inspiration from the Southern Italian city’s real-life special police unit known as the “falchi”, or falcons, which is focused on fighting organised crime.
“It’s a powerful gangster-crime melodrama which we’re describing as Johnnie To meets Michael Mann. It mixes an auteur element with action,” said Minerva Pictures chief Gianluca Curti who is producing the film alongside Gaetano Di Vaio of Bronx Film.
Fortunato Cerlino, best-known internationally for his role as mafia clan chief Pietro Savastano in Stefano Sollima’s Gomorrah, and Michele Riondino, of The Young Montalbano fame, will play Peppe and Francesco, two flawed but dedicated officers who work closely in the falcon squad.
Other cast members include Claudio Amendola, seen most recently in Sollima’s Suburra, who will play...

Warning: If you have not watched The Affair Season 2 finale and do not want to know who killed Scott Lockhart, do not ready any further. I’m serious. Not … another … word. That said, no matter which of the likely suspects you had your cash on (unless it was Whitney. Whitney doesn’t drive, people!), odds are good you’re, at least in part, correct. Depending, I guess, on whose version of events you believe. Only one, however, exonerates Noah. We open in the present, where Detective Jeffries has returned to the scene of the crime — the roadside spot with … Continue reading →

Contrary to a hard-to-source quote that's long been floating around online, Harrison Ford insists he never said that he "outgrew" Han Solo. And as he sat in a Beverly Hills hotel suite in November for his Rolling Stone cover-story interview on The Force Awakens, it quickly became clear that rumors of his hostility towards the character – and the franchise that helped launch his career – have been greatly exaggerated. "Or maybe he was just in a good mood that day. Here's Ford's full interview:

From Bananaman to Grange Hill, join us in a spot of TV nostalgia as we celebrate 50 great 1980s kids' TV theme songs...
There comes a time to turn away from the horrors of the world and retreat underneath the soft, comforting duvet of nostalgia. That time is Friday. That metaphorical duvet is below.
Here are fifty of the best kids’ TV theme songs (spread over two pages and in arbitrary order) of the 1980s. Some, like Alan Hawkshaw’s distinctive Grange Hill intro, are unarguable classics of the era, while others, like Mike Harding's Count Duckula, only started in the late-eighties and spent the rest of their run in the next decade.
Obviously, there being only 50 on this list, we may have missed out your favourite (deliberately or otherwise). Let us know if so, but remember that links may take a while to appear in the comments thread because...

Benjamin Naishtat’s debut feature picked up the Grand Prize at the festival in South Korea.
The 15th Jeonju International Film Festival (Jiff) awarded Benjamin Naishtat’s feature debut History Of Fear the Grand Prize and $19,000 in the International Competition. The Argentina-France-Germany-Uruguay-Qatar co-production is a sociological thriller made up of episodes that take place in Buenos Aires.
The International Competition jury said: “History Of Fear fits to the quality of the 15th Jeonju International Film Festival, focusing on alternative films, in that it breaks the narrative and has rough and experimental style.”
Lois Patino’s Coast Of Death took the Best Picture Award sponsored by Woosuk University with $10,000 in the International Competition and the Special Jury Award sponsored by Jeonbuk Bank with $6,000 went to Hotel Nueva Isla by Irene Gutiérrez and Javier Labrador.
Lauded for “very strong and naturalistic acting and accomplished long take camera work,” Jang Woo-jin’s feature debut A Fresh Start won KW10m ($9,800) with...

The Great Sport Relief Bake Off: Monday (January 13) at 8.30pm on BBC Two
After rolling up their sleeves and creating a load of tasty festive delights in the Christmas special, Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry return to their cushy judging roles as a bunch of hapless celebrities enter the tent for The Great Sport Relief Bake Off.
Don't go expecting the technical showstoppers or signature bakes seen in the regular show, though. This four-part charity special's running theme is 'Look how clueless famous people are when they have to get their hands dirty', and a celeb is deemed...

These days, television is always jam-packed with adverts of this year’s must-have toy, full of bright, flashy, in-your-face family goodness. The ad has developed from humble origins as ‘Mr. Potato Head’ in 1954, the very first advert for toys, and since then we have been subjected to 60 years of turtles, ‘Barbie’ and choking hazards.
Parents rarely notice the hypnotic powers of ‘buy me now’ or ‘ask your parents,’ but each kid’s film and each T.V. show comes accompanied by its’ own barrage of merchandise and commercials. In fact, watch any ‘Toy Story’ film and you are pretty much watching one giant 90 minute toy advert.
But occasionally, these adverts can go from the ridiculous to the bizarre. With this in mind, I’ve decided to compile a list of 10 bizarre TV toy commercials you probably missed.
10. Ball Buster
One for all the men out there comes in the form of 1975′s ’Ball Buster.

This week sees the release of Shane Meadows's The Stone Roses documentary Made of Stone.
The film has won rave reviews, but has also drawn criticism for refusing to dig too deep into the backstage fallings-out of the combustible foursome - both past and present.
So when Digital Spy met up with the director and his producer Mark Herbert, we did a little digging of our own about the making of the film. Here's what they had to say.
It's very clear what the film is and isn't - did you have that in mind when you were there at the reunion announcement?
Shane: "It was more when we met the band for the first time."
Mark: "We're so excited about them getting back together. We've both seen [BBC Stone Roses doc] Blood on the Turntable, those documentaries. This is about how excited are we, how can we get this excitement? I think...

Director Ken Loach's new film revisits the year that Britons turned to socialism – and ushered in the NHS, public ownership and the concept of public (not private) good. We trace the spirit of '45 and speak to some who remember the dawn of a new life
Ray Davies, robust, articulate and dignified, aged 83, veteran campaigner, a Labour councillor in Caerphilly for 50 years, sits in a Spanish civil war beret and recalls the time, in 1945, when he was 15 and had already worked two years underground in Welsh mines.
"In those days, it wasn't safety that came first, it was coal," he says. "We were in the pit and the message came down – 'Labour's won by a landslide!' Tough, hard miners had tears streaking down their faces, black with dust. They said, 'Ray, this is what we've dreamed about all our lives. Public control of the railways and mines and banks,...
