Like boarding a flight for somewhere promising, only to be met with an emergency landing, Departures never quite reaches the emotional depth it sets out for. This collaboration between filmmaking duo Lloyd Eyre-Morgan and Neil Ely begins at the end, retelling its story in a way that is non-linear. As the film’s tagline reads, “They say the best way to move forward is to go back…”. Immediately, the directors set out their experimental ambitions, yet what follows struggles to maintain this initial intrigue.When Benji, played by Eyre-Morgan himself, meets the strapping Jake (David Tag) at an airport bar, the two go through a cycle of…

Here’s five death metal bands whose third album is their very best.This subgenre tends to come down to three things: evolution, revolution and de-evolution (see the current shift from tech-death to riff-driven caveman death metal). For this particular list, this largely focuses on the evolution of each individual band. Some were constant shape-shifters while others found a style and stuck to it with a range of results.Regardless of how different the path each of the bands below took, it all came together on their third LP. Almost every record has had a profound impact on death metal through the decades (lyrical…

Electric cars could make their owners money while they sit idleMaskot Bildbyrå At least 90 per cent of the electricity generation being built today is renewable. But solar and wind farms produce electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, so the power supply will fluctuate more. A pilot project in the US state of Delaware has shown that owners of electric vehicles (EVs) could make thousands of dollars each year by allowing their parked cars to serve as part of a giant collective battery that stores electricity when there is high supply and distributes it…
MTV Multiple condragulations are in order after the April 17 finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” which revealed the winner of Season 18 — among other surprises. As always, the finale began with performances of original songs from each finalist, beginning with Darlene Mitchell’s goofball anthem “Cooking With Gas,” followed by Myki Meeks’ double entendre-laced “Versatile,” and ending with Nini Coco’s dance-heavy number “Stimulate.” If we were to rank the performances (and why not?), we’d say they improved progressively. In addition to “Stimulate” being more of an earworm than the other…

Madonna appeared as a guest star during Sabrina Carpenter’s weekend two headlining set at Coachella. The surprise collaboration came towards the end of Carpenter’s Friday night set as she performed “Juno.” “Have you ever tried this one?” Carpenter asked, teeing up Madonna’s emergence on stage. The pop icon began her mini-set with “Vogue” before debuting a song with Carpenter presumably from Madonna’s forthcoming album Confessions II. With Carpenter’s backing, Madge also performed “Get Together” from Confessions on a Dance Floor and “Like a Prayer.” In between songs, Madonna also addressed the crowd, noting that she had last played Coachella 20…

Whether social media connects us or leaves us feeling isolated depends on how we use it, according to new research from The University of Manchester. A major review of global evidence has found that online interactions can either reduce or increase loneliness, which challenges simple assumptions about screen time and well-being.

FernGully was about the last rainforest. What this news presupposes is … maybe it wasn’t?That’s because Amazon MGM announced today they were remaking FernGully: The Last Rainforest, this time in “live action.” (It’s a movie about fairies and magical creatures and talking bats, so I’m guessing there will still be some special effects involved.)The new film will be directed by Marielle Heller, the director of films like The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, and the Mr. Rogers biopic A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. According to the press release, Heller also wrote the script for this new FernGully.READ MORE: The Best Movies to Show…

Henry’s Pride by Greg Seeley “Greg Seeley has written a novel that deserves to find the wide readership it merits.” Greg Seeley’s Henry’s Pride is a richly imagined work of historical fiction set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. Inspired by the actual letters and journals of the author’s great-grandfather, Ira Seeley — a soldier who served with the 29th Iowa Infantry Regiment — the novel transforms a family inheritance into a multi-threaded story that is as emotionally honest as it is historically vivid. A Journey Into Memory and War The story opens with a Phillip…
Astronomers may have discovered an extreme pair of light-spewing black holes that are spiraling toward an enormous collision — the effects of which could be felt in the next century.Using decades of radio telescope observations, the astronomers studied an ultrabright object that was previously thought to be a blazar — a glowing core of a galaxy usually powered by a black hole — some 500 million light-years from our solar system. The observations revealed a hidden jet of energy that suggests the intensely bright object is actually two black holes on the verge of colliding, perhaps less than 100 years…
TVLINE | That final conversation between Robby and Samira — where he says he thought he’d be married with two kids in college by now, and then sort of shrugs it off — is there truth in what he tells her, or is that just another version of the life he feels he missed? I think it’s a little bit of both. Some of that is what he had hoped for at one time — to have a family, children. He was so focused on his work and medicine. He had relationships, but some didn’t work out. Suddenly he’s 53, and…
The movie theatre has become a space fraught with controversy, and rarely because of the film being screened. It feels as if we rarely see out the month without someone complaining online about the flagrant disregard of cinema etiquette, be that attendees talking loudly, using their phones during the film or guffawing at inappropriate moments. This behaviour is so commonplace that the Prince Charles Cinema has done away with its kitschy John Waters pre-movie public service announcement and replaced it with a polite but pointed request for audience members to “be in the movie, not above it”. But what if there was a space that…

A recent cosmological model combines two of the most eccentric ideas in contemporary physics to explain the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe. To understand it, it’s necessary to look beyond the Big Bang we all know and consider two concepts that rarely intersect: cyclic universes and primordial black holes.A Different Kind of MultiverseThere are different versions of the “multiverse.” The most popular model—that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—proposes that there are as many universes as there are possibilities and that these versions of reality are parallel.…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book? “The Order of Odd Brilliance” was one of those books that unfolded slowly. I love to write YA stories set in special schools and had this idea… There are nine famous prep schools on the East Coast of the U.S., but also a secret 10th school where you learn the art and science of time travel. As we know, all time travel books and TV shows insist you must never change history. What if these genius high school students, all with perfect SATs, were tasked to change…
People sometimes report seeing a bright light during near-death experiences, but this symbolism of transition also commonly occurs in dreams as we approach the end of our lifeKirill Ryzhov/Alamy People in palliative care who are approaching death often have vivid dreams featuring deceased loved ones and symbols of transition. The doctors and medical professionals who look after them say these dreams often bring patients comfort and make them less scared of dying. These dreams “offer psychological relief and meaning to people facing end of life,” writes Elisa Rabitti at the Palliative Care Local Network in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Rabitti led…
TVLINE | What was the hardest part of competing in Season 50, and was “50” more difficult than Triple H (“Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers”)?They were totally different. The first time that you play, there is so much beauty in the entire thing. You’re like, “Oh wow, I’m sleeping outside. I’m sleeping on bamboo!” This, Day 1, we literally go to lay in the dirt, and I’m like, “I’m too old to lay in the dirt. I can’t believe… what am I doing here? Literally, what am I doing here?” So, I would say the physical aspects, really just the…
