Cut from heavy, 30. oz Melton wool, this coat’s able to stand up against more than a smattering of rainfall and snow. The company also did away with some of the sea-faring trappings peacoats are known for in favor of some more elevated details like British-made horn buttons and a bit of tailoring flair, cutting the coat slightly closer to the body.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the course of the last 20 years, it’s that tech probably isn’t going to save us. And yet even for the most tech skeptical among us, it feels like we’ve largely fallen for the worst tech industry trap: the trend towards “human optimization.” That’s why this year, I’m resolving to be less optimized, less monetized, less lifehacked; and hopefully, more alive. The logic of coding dictates that the best code is that which is the most efficient.

Thu 12 December 2024 9:00, UK Footloose is undeniably the film that solidified Kevin Bacon’s place in the hearts of moviegoers. His portrayal of Ren McCormack, a teenager transplanted from Chicago to a conservative small town where dancing is forbidden, is infused with both charm and angst, capturing the essence of the 1980s. While many brat-pack soundtracks spawned chart-topping hits, Footloose arguably delivered some of the most iconic and infectious tracks of the era.

Wed 11 December 2024 21:45, UK Ask some of the filmmaking greats, such as Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, or Christopher Nolan, and they’ll tell you that as directors begin to hone their craft and establish a unique visual style, it’s common for them to collaborate with actors who can develop a shorthand with them and help bring their stories to life.

Wed 11 December 2024 15:15, UK Sigourney Weaver’s career is as unconventional as it is impressive. Carving a mould for what a female-led action movie can look like in the late 1970s through an impressive list of works over five decades, navigating her way through comedy, drama, science fiction and thrillers to become one of the most significant actors ever to lend their talents to the big screen. That might seem like hyperbole, but it’s hard to equate the correct words to Weaver’s stunning career.

Wed 11 December 2024 14:30, UK Movies are often only as good as their villains. The antagonist that all too often puts the stories we love into motion and shows us the true depths of what those who aim to do bad are capable of. This dichotomy of good and evil drives so many of our favourite Hollywood blockbusters to enjoyable ends. It’s a tale as old as time and has been routinely revamped, reshaped, and redistributed across a range of styles and genres.

Bowman is floating in a small pod in space, having retrieved the body of murdered fellow astronaut Frank Poole.

Mon 2 December 2024 7:00, UK Actor Brian Cox is most recently celebrated for his triumphantly manipulative and ferocious portrayal of the patriarch of the Roy family in HBO’s Succession. Cox’s performances across Succession’s four-season run show his ability to inhabit a deeply flawed and abusive character—a domineering presence with few redeeming features. Yet his talents make Logan Roy one of the most enjoyable performances of recent years.
