Traveller is wowed by his Greek odyssey on a boutique vessel, with waterslides and casinos swapped for a more intimate experience on March 31, 2023In the marina at Piraeus, a harbour city near Athens, there are superyachts and ferries the size of tower blocks. The Galileo – a mere 157ft long, four masts, wooden decks – looks as if it has slipped in unnoticed from another era. For me and my wife Annie, it’s love at first sight. The […]
‘Wellmania’ — this wellness-spoofing comedy is incredibly watchable on March 31, 2023There have been few better satirists of the Instagram age than Celeste Barber. In 2015, the Australian actor began recreating posts by the platform’s stars, mimicking the showy-offy poses of Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski et al but replacing their sultry pouts, glossy manes and pert figures with her own unkempt hair and […]
‘Dungeons & Dragons Honour Among Thieves’ — a great time at the movies on March 31, 2023Dungeons And Dragons Honour Among Thieves review: Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez lead a pack of charming thieves in this ‘epic’ action comedy. At first glance, everything about Dungeons And Dragons: Honour Among Thieves suggests it’s yet another soulless, hollow, capitalise-on-existing-IP Hollywood B-movie. The kind of forgettable flick we’ve seen a hundred times over. Empty […]
‘Unstable’ throws together Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe in a surprisingly charming sitcom on March 31, 2023The conversation about “nepo babies” has grown tiresome – and not just because “nepo baby” itself is such an unattractive turn of phrase. The general outrage over the idea that children of famous actors find themselves drawn to acting, ginned up by an artfully provocative recent cover story in New York magazine, has tended to […]
Remembering Javed Attre who was the member of the first pop band Ajays of Pakistan By: Dr. Amjad Parvez on March 30, 2023Before dwelling upon my memories of my dear friend Javed Attre who has left for his eternal abode, let me recapitulate some memories of my childhood. It was no different from that of anyone else from middle class educated families of 1950s. Our ambitions and expectations were also simple. If I got first division in […]
How a diverse eastern region reveals the real South Africa on March 30, 2023We’re driving past plantations of tall, spindly gum trees when my guide informs me that we’re not the only ones whose monarchy has seen a recent change. ‘We have a new king too!’ he says. I’m in KwaZulu-Natal, a lush, largely undiscovered province of South Africa that flanks its south-eastern coast. Ask a native where […]
‘Law of Tehran’ — ferocious Michael Mann-style thriller of the Iranian underworld on March 30, 2023If Michael Mann made a movie in Iran it might look like this: a ferocious drama-thriller in which a haunted, morally ambiguous cop faces off with a despairing drug lord. We begin with a barnstorming chase sequence in which an officer runs after a drug dealer holding a bag of heroin; the scene climaxes with […]
Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman — Murakami’s surreal tales around a Tokyo earthquake on March 29, 2023Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami has inspired some prestigious movies, most recently Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car. Regardless of whether this new Murakami adaptation comes to be considered the best, I think it might actually capture the elusive essence of Murakami more than any other – something in it being a Rotoscope animation of elegant simplicity.
