At least in more progressive parts of the world, we’re able to choose our own families, to make one from scratch, regardless of gender, race, sexuality or religion – and it can bring endless joy. This is especially the case if your blood family don’t support who you are. “You have to find community, you have to rely on each other,” says Oscar-nominated actress Lily Gladstone (Killers Of The Flower Moon).

Basking in the glory of the mini heatwave this week, I’ve only been one donut away from going full Homer Simpson and writing from the comfort of the paddling pool and an inflatable ring. Chilling in the garden on a hot, lazy day is one of man’s greatest pleasures, and it was the world’s favourite Springfieldian that first taught me that lesson, oh so many moons ago. I can’t believe The Simpsons has now been going strong for an incredible 36 years.
Film Talk: Thunderbolts* looking to strike true for the MCU

2 weeks ago | expressandstar.com | Daniel Morris

I’ve pulled few punches about this – I think the Marvel Cinematic Universe has lost its way a bit in recent years, and satisfying efforts since Avengers: Endgame have been few and far between. Select additions to the pantheon have kept the MCU on life support – namely Tom Holland’s sensational (nay, spectacular) turns as Spider-Man and, of course, the eternally delicious Deadpool & Wolverine. But as a general rule, misses have outnumbered hits, and things just haven’t been that great.

Film Talk: Naomi Watts and pooch pal enjoy a dog's life in The Friend

I genuinely consider my emotional birthday to be the first time I saw Homeward Bound, and if you don’t get a lump in your throat from any standalone minute of Marley and Me, you simply don’t have a soul. However, pooch pics aren’t always designed just to get our tears flowing. They can be great exercise for our laughing gear (exhibit A – Dog Soldiers), treat us to a fantastic bit of buddy action (Turner and Hooch) and teach us a lot about how to wear a suit (Reservoir Dogs).
