This was always going to be an important film for me. In 1960, when I was nine year's old, my father took me to see John Sturges' original version of The Magnificent Seven. It's one of the first movies I can remember seeing on the big screen. I recall being thrilled by it and it was certainly instrumental in kindling the flames of what would become a lifelong obsession with all things celluloid. But of course, its storyline (itself inspired by Kurosawa's Seven Samurai) wouldn't really fly in this day and age. It tells the story of seven heroic cowboys who come to the aid of a village full of 'lowly' Mexican peasants who are being terrorised year after year by a gang of marauding bandits. If somebody was going to remake this particular classic, they would have to find a new approach – and to director Antoine Fuqua's credit, he's managed to do that.
If this version of the tale resembles another classic Western, it's actually High Noon, where a bunch of townsfolk fail to come together to challenge a force of evil. Here, the denizens of Rose Creek are threatened not by bandits but by greedy industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard, doing the latest in a long line of creepy, evil stinkers). Bogue wants the land on which the town is built so he can mine it for gold and has offered each family a pittance in exchange for what they own. Anyone who defies him is summarily executed and this includes the husband of Emma Cullen (Hayley Bennett), who, looking for revenge, sets out to recruit some help and chances upon law officer, Chisolm (Denzel Washington) as he goes about his deadly duty. He listens to her tale of woe and finally gets interested when she mentions Bogue. It's clear from the start that there is some unfinished business between the two men. Chisolm promptly recruits a band of misfit heroes to help him rescue the town… they comprise an ex-confederate sniper (Ethan Hawke), a roguish gambler (Chris Pratt) a Mexican gunslinger (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) a Chinese knife fighter (Byung Hun-Lee), a native American bowman (Martin Sensmeier) and a shambling mountain man (a barely recognisable Vincent Donofrio).
From there on, it's pretty much a series of spectacular shootouts, set amidst stunning widescreen locations. (There's an irony here in that the seven set out to protect Rose Creek and by the film's conclusion, there's not much of it left standing, but we'll let that one go). Critics have complained that the film isn't realistic (no, really?) but I think they're missing the point somewhat. As a rip-roaring entertainment, The Magnificent Seven mostly succeeds in its aims and if it doesn't quite match up to its famous progenitor, well, that was a shootout it was frankly never going to win, because what passed for valour in 1960 is going to look pretty reprehensible in 2016.
My favourite bit of dialogue in this version? Emma Cullen proudly telling the other townspeople that she's quite clearly the only one with enough balls to take on the bad guys. Give this movie a fighting chance – it's at least earned the right to that.
Audrie & Daisy is a Netflix documentary, and it's a timely and important exposé of the sexual exploitation of school girls by their peers. As an ex-teacher, one of my first thoughts on watching it is: this needs to be shown in schools. How heartening, then, to discover that it is indeed being used to educate, and that there are even lesson plans for teachers to download (www.audrieanddaisy.com). Tragically, it's too late for Audrie, who committed suicide, but telling their stories – actually being heard – must be cathartic for Daisy, Delaney, Paige and the other girls who feature here. But the film's main importance lies, I think, in protecting other potential victims.
At its core are two sexual assaults: Audrie (15) was abused and photographed while unconscious at a party, and Daisy was raped by her older brother's friend, while incapacitated by alcohol. When everyone at school saw the pictures of her, Audrie couldn't cope and hanged herself. Daisy, thankfully, has survived her ordeal, but the toll it's taken is clear to see – on her and the rest of her family.
I don't think it's an over-reaction to say everyone should see this. We all need to hear these stories and acknowledge the reality of sexual assault. We all need to be reminded about consent and culpability. It's easier to sweep such accusations under the carpet, easier to go along with, 'Well, they were all just drunk, things got a bit out of hand.' But that's not the truth, and it's not good enough.
Because it isn't just their assailants who have hurt these girls, it is the ill-equipped system and the wider community too. From the high school gossips to the social media trolls, from the mayor who hates negative stories to the misogynist sheriff, a lot of people bear responsibility for victim-blaming, and worsening the girls' ordeals. The bravery of these young women, their determination to tell their stories, and their selflessness in making themselves vulnerable again: these are things to admire indeed.
We hear Daisy's story in her own words; she's an articulate, intelligent young woman, and it's heartbreaking to hear what she's endured. Audrie's tale is filtered through her mother, her best friend and – compellingly – the hesitant testimonies of her assailants, JohnB and JohnR, who have been animated to protect their identities. "I knew it wasn't right," says JohnR, "I've never felt good about it." How much better for everyone it would have been if he'd been equipped to recognise sexual assault for what it is, if he'd had it drummed into him that an unconscious person can't consent. Because JohnR is probably a decent guy; he's the only one here who expresses remorse. "The boys have put it behind them and moved on," says Sheriff Darren White, an odious self-righteous man, who thinks he's got things sorted out. "It's just the girls who won't do that." Well, it's harder for the victims, Sheriff, especially when the whole town seems to have turned against them, and the justice system has let them down.
And that's why this film needs to be seen. Because we need to stop a new generation from growing up to think like Darren White. So watch this documentary. It tells its stories well, with a clear eye and a dispassionate tone. And, if you've got kids, show it to them too.
We've all heard of food and wine tastings, of course, but the good people at the Cameo Cinema clearly feel that beer really should be afforded the same privilege as its close cousin – and why not? Like many nations around the world, here in the UK, we consume a lot more amber than we do red or white. Beer often gets bad press, but did you know that it is fat free and has considerably fewer calories than wine? And that it has a lot less sugar than you might think? Hence this intimate meeting for forty lucky members of the Cameo Cinema in their delightful cafe bar (already our favourite drinking place in Edinburgh), where four vegetarian food courses are served, each matched with an appropriate beer.
First up, we're offered a taste of San Miguel, matched with a tasty slice of Spanakopita (spinach pie), a filo pastry parcel filled with feta cheese, spinach and chopped onions. The twosome make a perfect match, the crisp, zesty lager cutting through the tangy taste of the filling. San Miguel is, of course, always perceived as the ultimate Spanish product – so it might surprise you to discover that it was first brewed (to a Spanish recipe) in the Philippines. These days, of course, it's brewed in an even more exotic location: Northampton.
Next up we are served with a shot of London Pale Ale (I fondly remember this stuff being my dad's drink of choice before lager was popularised in the 1960s). This is accompanied by a delightfully flaky vegan samosa filled with sweet and spicy mediterranean vegetables. Once again, the two items are an inspired match, the yeasty ale contrasting nicely with the samosa. Pale ale is also, we are told, an excellent partner for burgers and for Mexican food. You'll hear no argument from me on that score.
The third nibble is a bowl of vegetable chilli, which has a rich, smoky flavour and a powerful kick to boot. This is paired with a wheat beer called Blue Moon, a malted America beer brewed Belgian-style. Here, the strong flavour of the cloudy beer is exactly what's needed to cut through the strength of those chipotle chillies. Our hosts ask us if we think it's a good combination and we answer in the affirmative.
I have a small twinge of anxiety as the fourth and final course is served. Out comes a glass of Black Ball stout, a Williams' Brothers beer (a popular draught option at the Cameo), and this has been paired with a chocolate brownie. Now, I would never drink a stout on its own; I always find the flavour of roasted malt a bit too much, but I have to admit that, when taken in conjunction with a gooey sticky chunk of brownie, something rather magical happens – the two elements combine to provide a mouthful of what can only be described as sheer heaven. This turns out, against all the odds, to be my favourite pairing of the session.
Clearly the Cameo staff know what they're doing – this event has been expertly put together. Those who would like to explore the subject a bit more should get themselves down to the Cameo bar with all speed – those who would prefer to learn more at a distance may care to investigate beerforthat.com – where all things beer and food-related are examined in more detail.
It is the 1980s and, in war-torn post-revolution Tehran, young mother, Shideh (Narges Rashidi), struggles to look after her young daughter, Dorsa (Avin Manshedi). Shideh's husband, Iraj (Bobby Naderi), is a doctor, and when he's called away to work at the front line, Shideh feels horribly isolated in her city apartment. She has long wanted to be a doctor herself but, because of her political activism whilst at university, she's been banned from ever pursuing such a career. Indeed, she has to keep many things secret – even the fact that she owns a VCR on which she watches Jane Fonda workout videos – and naturally, like all women in the city, she can no longer be seen out on the streets without covering her hair with a hijab.
Under the Shadow uses all the tropes of the contemporary horror movie to tell its story – there are jump-cuts and scare moments aplenty here, all of them skilfully executed; but writer/director Babak Abvari's assured story is quite clearly an allegory, one that relates to the oppressive situation that Shideh finds herself in, while the collapsing apartment building is clearly a comment on her own mental disintegration, as well as the country's demise. If it reminds me of another film, it's Roman Polanski's Repulsion, where Catherine Deneuve goes through a similar process but, where she is alone, Shideh has her vulnerable daughter to worry about (a delightful performance from young Manshedi). As the slow-burning tale builds steadily towards its catharsis, the audience is drawn deeper and deeper into a world of mounting terror.
The intriguing conclusion eloquently points out that the impact of war and the suppression of individuality have a long-lasting effect on their victims. Abvari should be congratulated. He's created a film that offers everything you'd expect in a successful horror movie… and a good deal more besides.
Hungries are second-generation zombies and they seem different from the depraved creatures first infected by the virus. They can speak and they can learn – and, if Dr Caldwell (Glenn Close) is right, they can be used to develop an antidote that will save the human race. And this is where the tension lies: do we agree with Miss Justineau (Gemma Arterton), the teacher and psychologist, who says they're children? Or do we side with Sgt. Parks (Eddie Considine), who believes they're monsters?
We're on Justineau's side, of course; how can it be otherwise in the face of Melanie's nature? Sure, she's hungry for blood, and she might find it hard to curb her appetite, but she's sweet and clever and vulnerable – and capable of love.
This is a fascinating film, ably directed by Colm McCarthy, a perfect allegory for regime change and its moral complexities. The dystopia is beautifully rendered: a complete vision of a ravaged London, with a dwindling number of safe places, a doomed effort to survive against the odds. The acting is uniformly impressive, and young Nanua shines among this seasoned cast; she's certainly one to watch.
Okay, so there are a few plot holes: how can Justineau get food without breaking the airlock, for example? And how did that dog manage to stay alive for so long? The scenes where the first-generation zombies give chase all feel a little over-familiar for a film that's this original. But overall it's a resounding success and I highly recommend you watch it.
Okay, I'll admit it: I don't like Bridget very much. Admittedly, in 1996, when Bridget Jones's Diary was a newly-published book, I thought it was an entertaining read. Helen Fielding has a sprightly style, and the humour is easy and accessible. The narrative of noble goal-setting and ignoble failure works really well. And so I read the sequel and then I watched both films. And I don't think any of them are bad: they're funny, well-made, appealing tales. It's just… Bridget. She's so bloody passive. And I know she's a character, not a role-model, and I don't expect a protagonist without flaws, but there's so much of Bridget, she's so ubiquitous a figure – and she really, really drives me mad.
In this latest outing, nothing's really changed. It's still slick and competent, still laugh-out-loud funny, still complacent with its privileged world view (where Bridget, a successful TV producer living in at least half a million pounds' worth of property, is somehow presented as a sort-of failure, poorer than all her friends, playing Cinderella to her rich suitors). She's forty-three now, still single, still waiting for life to happen to her – and she's bored; the old gang can't be relied on for company, because they're all too busy with their kids. She tries hanging out with the younger Miranda (Sarah Solemani) instead, but soon lands herself in trouble: after two one-night stands, she finds herself pregnant. But who's the father? Is it Jack (Patrick Dempsey), the billionaire dating guru? Or Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), the love of her life?
What follows is a sort of comedy of manners, and it's adroitly done. Of course it is: look at the cast and crew. Renée Zellweger imbues Bridget with an understated warmth and likability, and Emma Thompson (as Dr Rawlings) is as sardonic and witty as you'd expect – she's the best thing about this film. It's an engaging and engrossing tale, and the payoff – if predictable – is worth the wait.
My advice? Watch it. Enjoy it. Try not to get annoyed.

Watch the 5 greatest London Marathon finishes in history
Here's our selection of the best finish-line moments from the London Marathon.
By Rick Pearson
Gray MortimoreGetty Images
In its 40-year history, the London Marathon has had some truly incredible finishes. There have been moments of selfless heroism, lung-busting sprint finishes, world records and people who make the process of running 26.2 miles seem effortless (here's to you, Eliud Kipchoge). There will undoubtedly be more magic moments at the next London Marathon, but until then, here's our selection of five of the best so far…
Inge Simonsen and Dick Beardsley (1981)
At the first ever London Marathon, Norwegian Inge Simonsen and Dick Beardsley personified the spirt of the race by finishing hand in hand. In 2015, to mark the 35th anniversary of the race, runners were encouraged to do the same.
Eamonn Martin (1993)
The last English male winner of the London Marathon did so in dramatic circumstances, outsprinting his Mexican rival, Isidro Rico, on Westminster Bridge, where the race used to finish.
Paula Radcliffe (2003)
One of the greatest marathons by one of its greatest practitioners. Paula Radcliffe's record-breaking run in 2005 was a marathon-running masterclass. Her time of 2:15:25 stood as the female world record for 16 years, until Kenya's Brigid Kosgei ran 2:14:04 at the Chicago Marathon in 2019.
Matthew Rees and David Wyeth (2017)
When Matthew Rees saw David Wyeth in trouble on the home straight, he forgot about his own finish time and instead helped his fellow runner to the finish. In doing so, he captured the spirt of 'the people's race'.
Eliud Kipchoge (2019)
Another commanding victory from the Kenyan great. In 2019, he set a course record of 2:02:37, the second-fastest marathon in history. Can he go even faster in autumn?

Nissan X-Trail making its own path
The Nissan X-Trail offers great looks and the blended practicality of those wanting space and functionality in the middle of the size spectrum. It drives like a comfortable sedan without the unwieldiness of a large sport utility vehicle, and yet has enough off-road, all-weather skills to give peace of mind.
Sitting between the compact crossover Qashqai and the legendary Pathfinder, the X-Trail offers customers the size and off-road capabilities of the Pathfinder, but in a more road- friendly package.
On the outside, the X-Trail gets a mild makeover to its already handsome design. While others have received the softer, more rounded look, the Nissan is a muscular angled machine; its nose now following the corporate appearance pioneered on the company's supercar, the GT-R.
Inside, the size differentiation is clear. There's more space than the Qashqai, but it's small enough to feel more car-like than the bigger Pathfinder.
Passenger comfort is no issue as it can seat five with ease. With the seven seat option, two extra seats fold out of the trunk floor. The third row is best left to children and average teenagers for long journeys. Otherwise, things are fine as every row has its own climate controls and storage options. The EZ Flex seating system means access to the third row is a lever pull away. For those wanting to haul cargo, the X-Trail's second and third rows fold flat, again with ease, for maximum room. Open up the sunroof and the extra light gives the interior an even more airy feel.
Up front, the driver is wrapped in a mix of soft-touch materials and hard-wearing plastics for which the X-Trail is expected to see plenty of use. Piano black paired with more metallic accents that follow the external theme keep the cabin feeling premium. There's a hint of racy carbon fibre around. Of course, Nissan's patented Zero Gravity seats are supportive.
The layout keeps the important functions within hand. However, those for the infotainment system are duplicated on the steering wheel, which also has a smaller secondary screen in the instrument binnacle. Impressive is the rare, 360 degree reversing camera even at this price point. Slip into reverse and drivers are greeted with a virtual aerial view of the vehicle making parking a breeze.
Firing up the X-Trail is a quiet affair. Available in both front and four-wheel drive, it's been tuned for on-road refinement. It feels very car-like rather than a heavy sport utility vehicle partly due to the host of subsystems to aid driving and keep things safe, like intelligent trace control and ride control. They both use active braking; the former at each wheel during cornering and the latter over bumps. The square-bottomed steering wheel is very racy in hand. The 169bhp is metered out smoothly by the six-speed CVT, with SPORT mode adding urgency upon activation.
The drive is comfortable on rough terrain as well, since the suspension absorbs bumps before they can reach the cabin. yet it remains firm enough as to not fall over itself in corners. For those that opted for four-wheel drive, Nissan has given the X-Trail real off-road chops. For fuel economy, the X-Trail runs in front-wheel drive mode. Twist the knob for Nissan Intelligent 4x4 and it automatically distributes traction to the relevant wheels. There is the option to forgo that and just lock the vehicle in a 50/50 split. The more daring off-road user has Hill Descent control, regulating the speed down long steep hills.
Lights, camera, rally!

Tony Khan explains how Christian Cage came to AEW
Mar 8, 2021 - by Colin Vassallo
AEW President Tony Khan revealed that it was Christian himself who called him to go work for All Elite Wrestling.
In the post-Revolution media conference, Khan detailed his friendship with the former World Heavyweight champion, saying they met seven years ago and how he was a fan of his before they even met. "I have been a huge fan of him as a wrestler," Khan said. "I think he's one of the great wrestlers in the last couple of decades. He's had great matches in different companies and he's been a great singles wrestler and a great tag champion," Khan continued, adding that he thinks Christian has one of the best minds in the business.
Khan said that after the Royal Rumble, Christian gave him a call to come work for him.
"He was interested in wrestling on a regular basis and you know he gave me a call and said, 'I'd really like to come wrestle in AEW for you,' and I said, 'I'd really like to have you come and wrestle for me.' It all came together great and I think it's going to be really good," Khan said.
Christian, using the Christian Cage name, was unveiled as the newest member of the AEW roster last night at Revolution and was introduced by Paul Wight.

This is my take on the sketch. As you can see, with the countdown on until the end of Sale-a-Bration this month, I'm making the most of all the wonderful selections there are this year!
The three stripes I had created for last weeks challenge and after spending an hour this afternoon looking for just the right color, decided this was what the card needed as I didn't really want a girlie-girl card. And of course this all had to be run through the Sale-a-Bration's Decorative Dots Embossing Folder!
Onto the Basic Gray Cardstock I stamped with Basic Gray Classic Ink the arrow from the Petals Parade Stamp Set. I also used the semi-circle "leaf-like" stamp from this set for the Summer Starfruit Cardstock background.
The leaves I punched in Pistachio Pudding Core'dinations from the Bird Builder Punch then did some accordion folding with a strip of the Pistachio to create the Paper Ribbon. The finishing touch was a cork flower from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit from which I also added a couple of the arrow pieces to the sentiment. This too is from Sale-a-Bration, the See Ya Later Stamp Set which I stamped and sponged in Summer Starfruit Classic Ink.

Writer and naturalist Jenn Dean of Washington's Snoqualmie Valley has produced a five-minute video that will bring current issues of Trumpeter Swans wintering in western Washington to the forefront. With engaging footage of both Trumpeter Swans and dairy cows, she points to their direct relationship. TTSS estimates as many as 85% of Trumpeters in Washington are currently dairy dependent. They thrive on waste corn. Jenn interviews dairy farmer Andy Werkhoven, who with his brother Jim, has been in the dairy business, farming, for thirty years. He details the increase of sightings over the last ten years, a period in which Pacific Coast Population numbers have climbed. Washington may now host some 27,000 Trumpeters in winter, so their future is integrally tied to the future of rural land and dairy farms. While death from ingestion of lead pellets has claimed some 2300 Trumpeters over the last decade, TTSS feels that loss of habitat is an equal threat to future swan populations. Watch Jenn Dean's video for further detail. TTSS thanks Jenn Dean for her work in making this video to help the public understand issues that face swans, and The Trumpeter Swan Society's role in assuring their present and future security.
