'Father of the Bride': Steve Martin and Kimberly Williams. Top Five Father's Day Movies? From giant Gregory Peck to tyrant John Gielgud What would be the Top Five Father's Day movies ever made? Well, there have been countless films about fathers and/or featuring fathers of various sizes, shapes, and inclinations. In terms of quality, these range from the amusing – e.g., the 1950 version of Cheaper by the Dozen; the Oscar-nominated The Grandfather – to the nauseating – e.g., the 1950 version of Father of the Bride; its atrocious sequel, Father's Little Dividend. Although I'm unable to come up with the absolute Top Five Father's Day Movies – or rather, just plain Father Movies – ever made, below are the first five (actually six, including a remake) "quality" patriarch-centered films that come to mind.

1602: Witch Hunter Angela #1
Written by Marguerite Bennett and Kieron Gillen
Art by Stephanie Hans and Marguerite Sauvage
Published by Marvel Comics
The latest Secret Wars tie-in is set in the Marvel 1602 universe. This universe was created by Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert and transplanted the major Marvel superheroes created in the 1960s to height of the English Renaissance during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James and just before the settling of Jamestown. Writers Marguerite Bennett and Kieron Gillen and artists Stephanie Hans and Marguerite Sauvage make this universe their own by transposing the angelic bounty hunter (and daughter of Odin) Angela and her friend Sera to the Marvel 1602 world where they hunt mutants or “Witchbreed”.
Witch Hunter Angela #1 is filled to the brim with jokes, Shakespearean-style wordplay, and fun, mainly ironic takes on both Marvel heroes and historical figures. Gillen and Sauvage tell a short lead story...

Viewers of BBC Two's Wolf Hall adaptation were shocked to hear the utterance of "c**t" in the latest episode.
A total of 24 members of the public have filed complaints with Ofcom about the use of the word, asking whether it was "really necessary".
The scene in question aired just after the 9pm watershed on Wednesday (February 18).
Based on Hilary Mantel's novel, the drama charts the rise of Thomas Cromwell and regularly uses bad language.
The "c**t" incident occurred during a discussion between courtiers about Henry VIII's third wife Jane Seymour (Kate Phillips).
The king (Damian Lewis) spoke of his future bride, pondering: "Does not Mistress Seymour have the tiniest hands?"
After walking away, a courtier mocked him by saying: "Does she not have the whitest throat?", before another piped up, saying: "Has she not got the wettest c**t you ever groped?'

William Shakespeare has been turned into a hipster by new show 'Secret Lives Of'. The Yesterday programme sees Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb examine what historical figures, such as the playwright, may look and like and what they would likely be doing in 2013. Artists spent three months updating the pictures of the historical figures, giving Shakespeare a trendy quiff and stubble and Henry VIII hair plugs and a sharp suit. Marie Antoinette gets a boob job, while Elizabeth I is placed in a power suit. Explaining the makeover of Shakespeare, the programme's bosses said: ''Today, he would have been writing for TV, the...
