Wicked to King Richard: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 08:00:12 +0000

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are remarkable in the enchanting musical extravaganza, while Will Smith is at his very best as the man who made stars of Venus and Serena

If you consider yourself a musical agnostic, Wicked might be best enjoyed on a television screen. Consumed in one sitting – so long, so many songs performed at such an unwavering high intensity – any undecideds might find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer onslaught of the thing. But if you’re ready for the whole plunge, Jon M Chu’s Wizard of Oz prequel remains a total extravaganza. The performances are fantastic; especially Ariana Grande, whose years spent toiling down the Disney Channel mines manifest themselves in a remarkable lightness of touch. The ambition is faultless. And if you aren’t moved by the walloping final performance of Defying Gravity, you might be dead inside.

Quatermass 2 review – Hammer turns up the heat in enjoyable alien invader sequel

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 06:00:11 +0000

The brusque, unsmiling American rocket scientist returns with a bigger budget and more action alongside an entertaining turn from Sid James as an inebriated journalist

Here is the 1957 sequel to Hammer’s box office smash The Quatermass Xperiment from 1955; it is enjoyable, though the law of diminishing returns is coming into play. Like the first film, it is based on the original BBC drama (the second series, in fact) and Brian Donleavy is back as Quatermass himself: the brusque, unsmiling American rocket scientist working closely with the British government and permanently exasperated with them.

Once again, Quatermass finds himself at the centre of a deadly alien attempt to take over Planet Earth. While debating whether or not to fire a nuclear powered rocket up into space, Quatermass comes into contact with a woman whose boyfriend has been injured by what appear to be football-sized meteorites, which his white-coated assistants have been already tracking on their radar scopes. It appears that these sinister rocks are marking the skin of those humans unlucky enough to come into contact with them, the victims becoming brainwashed by the aliens.

After Carrie’s whole no heel-wearing in the house and trip down to Virginia to see Aidan, the sixth episode of And Just Like Thatseason 3 loses some of its steam. Or maybe it’s because the episode underscores the gaps in the series and the slow-down doesn’t do it any favors. I didn’t completely dislike it, but it struggled to hold my attention.

Michael Madsen’s brooding charisma needed Tarantino to unlock it | Peter Bradshaw

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 21:43:38 +0000

The Reservoir Dogs and Donnie Brasco actor had a rare, sometimes scary power, as well as a winning self-awareness and levity

Michael Madsen, star of Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill and Donnie Brasco, dies aged 67

Michael Madsen– a life in pictures

Until 1992, when people heard Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel on the radio, they might smile and nod and sing along to its catchy soft-rock tune and goofy Dylan-esque lyrics. But after 1992, with the release of Quentin Tarantino’s sensationally tense and violent crime movie Reservoir Dogs, the feelgood mood around that song forever darkened. That was down to an unforgettably scary performance by Michael Madsen, who has died at the age of 67.

Stuck in the Middle, with its lyrics about being “so scared in case I fall off my chair”, was to be always associated with the image of Madsen, whom Tarantino made an icon of indie American movies, with his boxy black suit, sinister, ruined handsomeness and powerful physique running to fat, playing tough guy Vic Vega, AKA Mr Blonde. He grooved back and forth across the room, in front of a terrified undercover cop tied to a chair, dancing to that Stealers Wheel number, holding his straight razor, which he had removed from his boot – smirkingly preparing to torture the cop (that is, torture him further) by cutting off his ear.

BOYS GO TO JUPITER Trailer & Poster: The Slow-Fast Anxiety & Ennui of a Florida December

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

While there is a prevailing misconception, especially in North America, that animation is for kids, that luckily does not stop creators from making animated films by and for a grown-up audience. Especially in these strange days we live in, animation might be the best mode to convey the growing sense that we might not be in the best timeline, and it can capture so much more in its inventiveness and imagination. Take Boys Go to Jupiter, the feature debut of Julian Glander. A standout from last year's Tribeca Festival, it seems the right film to come along during that more contemplative month of August. It's the day after Christmas in suburban Florida and Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) and his friends pass the seemingly endless days by...

Maxine Peake: ‘I have a healthy balance of inferiority complex and slightly prickly ego’

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 16:12:18 +0000

The actor on working with Mike Leigh, death by disco ball and drinking on the job

Has your northern accent helped or hindered your career? Eluned51
They do call a group of actors a “moan” of actors. We like to have a good moan. When people hear a regional accent, they immediately make assumptions about your class, financial status and education. People generally think if you’ve got a strong regional accent, you can’t do much else. Obviously there are amazing actors like Jodie Comer who smash that to pieces because people don’t realise she’s from Liverpool. But because I came out the traps with the northern accent it’s probably helped.

Do you ever suffer from impostor syndrome and think: “Why are people so fascinated by me?” RealEdPhillips
I don’t ever think people are – I think they are generally quite bored by me! Of course I have impostor syndrome. When you don’t get a job, you can’t help but think: “Why didn’t I get that job? Why don’t they think I’m good enough?” So there’s a healthy balance of inferiority complex and slightly prickly ego.
