A Real Pain is a darkly-comedic and often affecting portrait of grief. The movie was written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, who also stars as David, one of two cousins who meet up for a trip to Europe. Kieran Culkin (Benji) is the other half of the duo and the titular ‘real pain’. Mild-mannered David and manic Benji were inseparable in childhood, but drifted apart as their differences became more apparent the older they got.

Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn will all be visible with the naked eye, while Uranus and Neptune can be spotted with a telescope. The new moon tonight (Wednesday, January 29) will be the best night to spot the planets going forward, but they will still be visible for a few weeks.

Professional basketball hopeful Chadley Hargreaves is balancing three jobs in the hope of making it to America. The 18-year-old from Sheffield was one of South Africa’s strongest high school prospects last year, but he was unable to get a scholarship to play in college.
