Official UK Main Trailer for Masterminds starring Zach Galifianakis
SYNOPSIS
MASTERMINDS unites a wealth of US comedy royalty, pairing Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover 1,2 & 3, Due Date, The Campaign) withKristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, Anchorman 2 and the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot) for the first time. Outstanding support comes from comedy king Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Zoolander), stalwart Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses 1&2, We’re the Millers) and introducing the hilarious newcomer Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live). Jared Hess directs (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) alongside legendary producer Lorne Michaels, who has steered Saturday Night Live successfully for 40 years.
The film tells the hilarious true story of David Ghantt (Zach Galifianakis) a half-brained driver at an armoured car company who is led astray by his flirtatious work crush Kelly (Kristen Wiig). Kelly and her buddy Steve (Owen Wilson) convince David to do an inside job, and to everyone’s surprise he manages to pull off one of the biggest bank heists in US History! With Steve conspicuously flashing the cash and the FBI closing in on them the plan starts to go south, then further south. Meanwhile Ghantt is hiding out in Mexico awaiting the money and Kelly, but an unexpected guest arrives in her place. With everyone out for themselves, things quickly start to fall, stumble and slip apart…
They’re so dumb, it’s criminal.

And so Maki, Zarafa and Hassan take off in a hot-air balloon to cross the Mediterranean, setting off an adventure across Northern Africa, the bustling port of Marseilles, and over the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, arriving at last in Paris.

Vacation - New Posters
The next generation of Griswolds are on the road again. VACATION starring Ed Helms (“The Hangover” films) and Christina Applegate (the “Anchorman” films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure.
Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.
Rounding out the cast are Leslie Mann (“The Other Woman”) as Rusty’s sister, Audrey; Chris Hemsworth (the “Thor” films) in the role of Stone Crandall, Rusty’s irritatingly successful brother-in-law; and Skyler Gisondo (“Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” “Hard Sell”) and Steele Stebbins (“A Haunted House 2”), who play Rusty’s sons, James and Kevin. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold from the classic “Vacation” comedies.

Synopsis:
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL is a uniquely funny and moving story about Greg, a high school senior who avoids deep human relationships as a way to safely navigate the social mine field that is teenage life. In fact he describes his best friend Earl, with whom he makes short-film parodies of classic movies, as being ‘more like a co-worker’. But when Greg’s mum insists he spends time with Rachel – a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer- Greg discovers just how powerful and important true friendship can be.
Director: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon
Cast: Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke, R.J. Cyler with Nick Offerman, Molly Shannon, Jon Bernthal and Connie Britton

The Worst Parents on Film
The Worst Parents on Film
Cinema
has a long and illustrious history when it comes to parents who
aren’t perhaps best suited to bringing up their unfortunate
offspring. To celebrate the home entertainment release of Can’t
Come Out To Play, out
on DVD and digital platforms from June 22, 2015 courtesy of Signature
Entertainment, we take a look back at some of the worst parents
to grace the big screen...
Katherine
and Richard (Can’t Come Out To Play)
When
it comes to overprotective parents, it doesn’t get much worse than
Katherine and Richard (Samantha Morton and Michael Shannon). Their
son Andy is in very poor health, and he must stay within his home
adhering to the strict instructions of his mother - who also forbids
him from having any visitors. When Andy’s new friend Maryann begins
visiting and is discovered, Richard is seemingly fine with the
visits, but Katherine does not feel the same, and her behaviour grows
increasingly erratic...
Mr
and Mrs Wormwood (Matilda)
Based
on Roald Dahl’s beloved classic about a sweet and extremely
intelligent girl with a love of books, this adaptation stars Mara
Wilson in the titular role with Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman as her
superficial, bad-tempered parents, who neglect Matilda in favour of
her spoilt brother. After a while, her parents send her to school
with Miss Trunchbull, the worst principal in the world. While trying
to put up with her parents' and principal's constant cruelty, she
unwittingly begins unleashing telekinetic powers, and is soon
concocting a plan to drive her principal away from the school.
April
and Frank Wheeler (Revolutionary Road)
Leonardo
DiCaprio and Kate Winslet take the lead roles in this adaptation of
the classic novel by Richard Yates about the futility of the American
dream. Fundamentally flawed, selfish, and struggling with
disillusionment, Frank and April Wheeler are raising two young
children, while April has forgone her dream of becoming an actress,
and Frank loathes his job, although he has no idea what he really
wants to do. Self-involved and unable to connect with each other,
their carefully constructed facade of a perfect family slowly begins
to crumble around them, culminating in unimaginable tragedy...
Darth
Vader (Star Wars)
When it comes to the award for ‘Worst Parent Ever’, the honour goes to Darth Vader a million times. Not only was discovering he was Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia’s father a cinematic shock, but the reveal seemed to change nothing. If there was any hope of Darth Vader transforming into father of the year material it was all lost when he cut Luke’s hand off.

If there was any hope of Darth Vader transforming into father of the year material it was all lost when he cut Luke’s hand off.
Joan
Crawford (Mommie Dearest) Joan Crawford (Faye
Dunaway) may have been a screen queen to the world, but to her
daughter Christina (Diana Scarwid) she was a living nightmare. While
most mums are baking cookies for their kids Crawford was abusing and
traumatizing hers. What makes her even more awful is that she was
actually a real person.
Mrs. Livingston (Bubble Boy)
There is no doubt Mrs. Livingston (Swoosie Kurtz) loves her son, but
she takes her love to downright suffocating extents. When loving your
kid involves a lie that confines him to a bubble for much of his life
there clearly is an issue there. As they say, if you love him let him
go; a lesson Mrs. Livingston clearly did not learn.
Peter and Kate McCallister (Home Alone)
Peter (John Heard) and Kate (Catherine O’Hara) McCallister may be
well intentioned and loving parents, but they make this list for
their utter carelessness. It is one thing to forget to pack your
toothbrush when going out of town, but leaving your child behind all
together on a family vacation is never a good sign. In their case
they are repeat offenders of leaving their son behind clearly showing
their lack of parenting skills.

Best Loft Apartments on Film
Best Loft Apartments on Film
Over the years, the interiors of film have played a huge role in creating atmosphere, setting scenes, and in some cases, becoming a character all of their own. To celebrate the release of thriller The Loft (which features a slick, stylish high-rise apartment that takes centre stage), we take a look back at some of the other best apartments on film.
The Loft (2015)
This slick thriller sees five married friends embark on a decision to rent their very own stunning loft apartment for exclusive use as a home for their extra-marital affairs. However, when a mystery blonde woman is found dead at the apartment, their private world comes crashing around them as everyone becomes a suspect. Starring Karl Urban, James Marsden and Wentworth Miller, The Loft offers slick, sexy thrill after thrill as much as it issues a cautionary tale to straying men everywhere…
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
Audrey Hepburn’s iconic turn as the effervescent Holly Golightly is arguably her most memorable role- but the stunning interior of her NYC brownstone apartment cannot be forgotten as a major supporting part. Inspiring a thousand copycats, the inside of the eponymous party girl’s home features the instantly recognisable half-bathtub sofa, satin cushions and NYC flea market finds galore, a plush tiger skin rug and, of course, Cat.
A Single Man (2009)
Not strictly an apartment, but worthy of a place on the list nonetheless, the stunning John Lautner house used as the backdrop to this critically acclaimed drama is only one aspect of an entire film that maintains an achingly cool level of style throughout; no great surprise, given that it was directed by Tom Ford and the production design came courtesy of the geniuses behind Mad Men.
The Dark Knight
Bruce Wayne’s sleek, minimal Gotham penthouse is the backdrop to a large portion of The Dark Knight, as Wayne Manor is still being reconstructed following the events of Batman Begins. Moody lighting and the steel-gray and chrome interiors lend to the films overall look of a city on the brink of utter desolation, with the ever-present looming threat of Heath Ledger’s Joker.
You’ve Got Mail (1998)
Meg Ryan's beautifully cozy NYC brownstone paints a gorgeous, if somewhat unrealistic picture of New York studio living. The interiors are wonderfully feminine, with vintage dressers, lace curtains and an abundance of flowers throughout, all pitched perfectly against the ever-present backdrop of the newly arrived technology that is seeping into everyday life.
American Psycho
Patrick Bateman’s apartment is a masterclass in minimalism, with sleek lines, all white furniture, and barely any colour. Production designer Gideon Ponte and set designer Jeanne Develle went to great lengths to ensure that the apartment remained clinical and nothing looked too lived-in or comfortable; of course, adding to the effect of one particularly grisly scene that takes place within the pristine walls.
Vertigo
Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece opens with Scottie Ferguson (James Stewart) realizing he suffers from vertigo, and retiring from his position as a private investigator, only to be lured into another case by his old college friend, Gavin Elster (Tom Helmore), who wants his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak) followed. Scottie seeks solace with his ex-fiancee Midge (Barbara Bel Geddes), and her much-coveted, bric-a-brac filled apartment boasts some incredible views of New York City, looking west to Russian Hill from the top of Union Street on Telegraph Hill.
Big
Penny Marshall’s classic 80’s fantasy stars Tom Hanks as Josh, the young boy who wakes up to find himself transformed into a grown man, leading to all manner of high jinks. Josh’s new ‘grown-up’ Manhattan loft taps into the child in all of us- complete with a basketball court in the hallway, a pinball machine and a trampoline in the living room.
Sex and the City 2
The apartment Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) shares with Big (Chris Noth) in this sequel based on the HBO series beautifully reflects both of their personalities, combining old-school charm with up-to–the-minute stylish pieces. Set decorator Lydia Marks took inspiration for the apartment’s architecture from classic films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s back catalogue, in order to give the apartment a ‘proper NYC’ feel.
THE LOFT is released on digital platforms from June 8th, 2015 and on DVD from June 15th 2015 courtesy of Signature Entertainment.

Top 10 Lotharios on Film
Top 10 Lotharios on Film
They are that special group of men that drive women crazy as much as
they make them swoon. Our favourite on-screen lotharios have a knack
for knowing exactly what it takes to make a woman melt in their
hands. To celebrate the release of THE LOFT, out
on digital
platforms and DVD right now courtesy of Signature Entertainment, we
take a look at some of greatest onscreen lotharios.
Chris Vanowen – THE LOFT
Chris Vanowen (James Marsden) in THE
LOFT is not your typical lothario. He’s
in touch with his feelings and unlike the rest of the guys in the
film has the biggest conscience. He may have given into his desires
and become a womanizer, but even then he is still not all bad. He has
a heart and combined with his hopeless romantic nature he is a
ladies’ man we love to love.
James Bond
James Bond whether he’s played by Connery,
Dalton, Brosnan, or Craig he is the modern day definition of a
Lothario. He may busy himself as a spy by day, saving the world from
one disaster after another, but James always finds time to get the
girl. He’s smooth talking, mysterious, and ever so charming, making
his way with the ladies an institution that spans the test on time.
Casanova - Casanova
Giacomo Casanova (Heath Ledger), the man whose
womanizing ways are so well known they have become synonymous with
his very name. Casanova’s charming reputation with the ladies is no
secret, and there is no obstacle he will not overcome to seduce the
object of his desire. His lothario ways may drive us mad at times but
his persistence and determination is pretty endearing.
Alfie - Alfie
Alfie (Jude Law) is the quintessential British
ladies man. Between his devilish good looks, accent, and charm the
ladies cannot resist him, and he certainly uses that to his full
advantage. Working as a limo driver around Manhattan Alfie certainly
meets a lot of ladies and uses that as a means to bed as many of them
as he can. Alfie may get himself into a lot of trouble, but he is
lovable so there is hope for him in the end.
Jon – Don
Jon
Jon
Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) keeps life simple by maintaining a
very short list of priorities. His priorities are along the lines of:
“His
body, his pad, his ride, his family, his church, his boys, his girls,
his porn.” Jon’s job as a New Jersey bartender lends itself to
being the perfect place for him to exercise his lothario ways. Jon’s
view on love and women may be distorted, but time and experience will
be his salvation.
John Tucker – John
Tucker Must Die
John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) is your typical
teenage lothario in John Tucker Must
Die. He’s good looking, charming,
and popular and has every girl in his school swooning. We have all
known a John Tucker in our lives at some point, and as much as we
know we should avoid him we cannot help but be drawn in by him. Like
most teenage charmers he eventually learns that his smooth operating
ways are vastly flawed.
Daniel Cleaver – Bridget
Jones’s Diary
Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) is that charmer in
Bridget Jones’s Diary
whose reputation with women is well known from the very beginning,
and yet Bridget (Renée Zellweger)
cannot resist him. Daniel is fun, but indisputably a piece of trouble
who does not learn from his womanising ways. His character may not
have a salvation point but is around to teach you the hard lessons in
life you cannot escape.
Nick Marshall - What
Women Want
Nick
Marshall (Mel Gibson) is that smooth talking ad executive that knows
just what to say to get the ladies in What
Women Want. When
circumstances allow him to read women’s minds, he does not use this
talent for the most honourable of intentions. Eventually Nick has a
moment of clarity and learns to use his talents to give women what
they
want. Needless to say, he gets the girl in the end.
Tony Stark – Iron
Man
In
Iron Man,
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is single, a billionaire, and a real
life superhero; he couldn’t be more of a playboy. With so much at
his disposal and an ego the size of the planet, Tony has no desire to
settle down (not until the sequel, anyway!). His constant wisecracks
and one-liners make it no surprise that he receives a lot of
attention from the ladies.
Jacob Palmer - Crazy,
Stupid, Love
Jacob
Palmer (Ryan Gosling) in Crazy,
Stupid, Love. is confident, stylish,
and an obvious hit with the ladies. From his mischievous smile to his
ability to make women feel instantly enamoured, Jacob knows how to
work the room. Nevertheless, behind the womanising exterior he’s
got a heart that you cannot help but hold out hope for.

Strong Women of Entourage
Entourage
is the ultimate story of four bros living it up in Hollywood. Vince
may be the playboy movie star living the dream life, but take a look
behind Vinnie’s success, and you’ll find a number of women
helping him every step of the way. Appearing in both the show and
upcoming feature film, these are more than just pretty faces. Here,
we salute their strength, intelligence, and success!
Dana
Gordon
Dana
is the studio president. In a show where studio execs are generally
portrayed as horrible people, Dana is one of the few shown in a
positive light. She goes out of her way to help Vince and Ari
achieve their goals while simultaneously maintaining a long-standing
and fruitful working relationship with Gold.
Shauna
Roberts
Shauna
is Vince’s no-nonsense publicist. She is a self-described mother
figure to Vince and has no problem with brutal honesty –
particularly when it comes to telling Johnny “Drama” when to shut
up. Her job is to craft Vince’s public image, a very frustrating
task considering Vince’s laid back Cali attitude and questionable
decision-making skills.
Sloan
McQuewick
Sloan
is a sweet and sassy girl with a levelled head and successful
involvement in charity work. Self-confident and lovable, she has
captured the hearts of all Entourage viewers with her warm
personality, becoming a lasting fan-favourite. The film sees Sloan
take on her next and perhaps most important role – motherhood.
Amanda
Daniels
Amanda
Daniels is a determined Hollywood agent who represents Vince during
his brief separation from Ari. She is strong-willed and outspoken –
two reasons that fuel Vince’s crush on her in the third series. Her
dinner showdown with Ari goes down in history as one of the greatest
public arguments on TV!
Ronda
Rousey
Ronda
Rousey is, both literally and figuratively, one of the strongest
women out there. At Beijing 2008, she became the first women to earn
an Olympic medal in judo before moving into MMA in 2010. Since her
debut, she has become the number one pound-for-pound female MMA
fighter in the world! What’s more, Rousey’s success extends even
beyond the ring, as she has appeared in a number of feature films
including Expendables 3 and Furious 7. Ronda’s role
in Entourage sees her confront Turtle as an equal in the
business and MMA worlds. One thing we learned: don’t mess with
Rousey!
Jessica
Alba
Jessica
Alba is an actress turned savvy businesswoman. After a number of
years as a successful actress – appearing in movies such as Sin
City, Honey, Fantastic Four and Into the Blue
– she set out to begin her own business venture. Launching in 2012,
The Honest Company is a collection of toxin-free household goods,
diapers, and body care products which is now valued at $1 billion
dollars. Jessica doesn’t mess around in Entourage either –
she tells Ari Gold exactly what she wants (and gets it!).
Emily
Ratajkowski
Emily
Ratajkowski’s rise to fame has been a rapid affair. She shot to
stardom following her appearance in Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred
Lines’ video and has since been a recurring cover girl for
publications like GQ, Cosmopolitan and FHM. Esquire
even named her ‘Woman of the Year’ in 2013, beating out
hundreds of other women for the title. Apart from her editorial
accomplishments, Emily has displayed an unflagging determination to
find additional success in the film industry. After scoring a part in
David Fincher’s Academy Award-nominated Gone Girl, she has
secured a leading role in the upcoming film We Are Friends
opposite Zac Efron. It looks like Emily’s star is continuing to
rise!
Keep
an eye out for Emily and the other strong women of Entourage,

THE PARTIERS OF OLD HOLLYWOOD
Filled
with booze, sex, and all-night romps, Entourage: The Movie
gives the Everyman a two-hour glimpse into the hedonistic, drunken
debauchery of the Hollywood elite. Turtle has become a tequila
aficionado, pioneering his own brand of the stuff and earning
millions of his own dollars. “Drama”, seeking solace from the
clutches of his career woes, drinks cocktails of molly and water. And
then, of course, there’s our Golden Boy, Vince, kissing
scantily-clad women just days after the dissolution of a nine-day
marriage... The boys are back at it again – and showing us,
perhaps, just what it means to have livers of indestructible steel.
(Is “limitless stamina” hidden in those awards show swag bags?).
It’s
no secret that many of today’s rich and famous enjoy honing not
just their craft, but the art of boozing as well. It’s the era of
La Lohan, after all, where the DUI’s and mug-shots of every
twenty-something starlet have become front-page tabloid fodder...
What’s
often over-looked, however, are the partying elite of Hollywood’s
yesteryears – Sinatra, Burton, Warhol...Booze-fuelled and riding
the crests of superstardom, some of cinema’s greatest legends have
reputations that would make even Vince and his gang run for the
nearest detox. Without the constant scrutiny of Internet
gossip-mongers, Classic Hollywood could afford to be a little looser,
drink a little more vodka, and hop from bed to bed with reckless
abandon...
Take
a look at some of Hollywood’s most notorious partiers below. Could
the Entourage boys keep up? Could you?
Ava
Gardner: With those heavy lidded cat-eyes and raw sensuality, Ava
Gardner was a femme fatale of the rarest form. A man-magnet and
booze-lover, Gardner was already a two-time divorcee by the tender
age of 23 – a testament, perhaps, to the irresistibility of her
appeal and often fickle temperament. Gardner was usually seen
cavorting about on the town, flirting with her endless line of
suitors and drinking everyone else under the table. Even legendary
crooner and then-married man, Frank Sinatra, was no match for Ava’s
charms. In fact, the pair’s relationship led to the demise of
Frank’s marriage to Nancy Sinatra, earning Ava a few points in The
Homewrecker’s Hall of Fame...They divorced years later after
multiple break-ups and passionate reunions, spurring Gardner to find
refuge in Spain amongst sexy bullfighters and late-night skinny
dipping sessions with Ernest Hemingway. A lover of life and love,
Gardner once stated she wished grow old “with a lot of wonderful
chums, good music, and booze around.”
Andy
Warhol: Andy Warhol was a man who surrounded himself with a
variety of creative types. From fellow artists and musicians to drag
queens and sexual radicals, the famous icon had a posse that
surpassed even Entourage standards. Nowhere was this penchant
for individuality and liberalism more apparent than in his famous
“Factory” where he and his like-minded companions would gather to
drown in an all-consuming cocktail of art, love, and drugs. A day in
Warhol’s Factory was truly a feast of talent and debauchery that
continued long past the sinking of the sun. Rampant amphetamine
consumption, adult film production, and regular appearances from
“superstars” like Edie Sedgwick and Bob Dylan were all part of
the Warhol-“Factory” norm. Apart from being the mastermind behind
this centre of bohemianism and artistic expression (in all its
forms), Andy had a notoriously addictive personality. Extremism was
his game, and this manifested itself in his art, shopping habits, and
dalliances with harder drugs like heroin and prescription pills.

But
what cocktail was most likely responsible for such debauchery, you
ask? Frank’s perennial favourite: Jack Daniel’s whiskey with
four ice cubes and a splash of water. Rumour even has it that his
Twin Palms home sported a Jack Daniel’s flag which, when raised,
signified the beginning of another round of rapacious schmoozing and
boozing with friends. Maybe if Ol’ Blue Eyes were around today,
Turtle could convert him into a tequila-lover...
Richard
Burton and Elizabeth Taylor: Arguably Hollywood’s most famous
couple, the lore and legacy of the Burton-Taylor relationship is
peppered with stories of alcoholism, incessant squabbling, and
cheating scandals. Taylor, herself, married eight times throughout
her life while Burton wrote repeatedly of his struggle with alcohol
abuse. Together, the two raised hell on and off film sets, leaving a
trail of extraneous demands (Taylor, well-known as one of Hollywood’s
most high-maintenance stars) and empty bottles (Burton, whose diary
highlights many of his drunken shenanigans) in their wake. Stories
will have it that Burton and Taylor, along with party pals like Peter
O’Toole, were often drinking on-set, regardless of the hour.
Extravagant gifts were bought and exchanged, like the 68-carot
diamond Burton gave Taylor in ‘69, as a tokens of their undying,
roller-coaster love. However, this shared passion and zest for life
often resulted in physical confrontations, ruthless verbal
abuse...and temporary salvation found in liquor cabinets (and
eventually each other’s arms).
Spencer
Tracy: Spencer Tracy is yet another Old Hollywood actor known for
his partying and loose behaviour. As with so many of his peers, Tracy
endured a life-long battle with alcoholism that repeatedly interfered
with his work schedule and inflamed the tempers of his employers.
Furthermore, the actor was known to stray from his wife’s bed with
the likes of Joan Crawford, Ingrid Bergman, and, most famously,
Katherine Hepburn. Above all, though, were Tracy’s long and
unpredictable drunken binges (one of which saw him blasted on several
bottles of whiskey for days on end). Perhaps one of the most
notorious incidences in Tracy’s roster of crazy antics is his
strained relationship with MGM studios, who came to regard Tracy as
both a significant asset and liability. At one point in his
career, the studio required a team of medics, police, and security
guards to be on-hand should Tracy stir up any trouble while on the
job. This was even after Fox studios had reportedly fired the
actor for similar behaviour. Star, trouble-maker, and partier indeed!

Top 10 Best US Box Sets
10 BEST US BOX
SETS
You’ve got a free
weekend, an easily accessible blanket and a stash of junk food that
would last you through an apocalypse – so the logical next step is
picking a box set to watch. There are hundreds of amazing television
programmes that you can lose a weekend in and no need to guiltily
utter ‘just one more episode’ as you have already hit the Play
All button.
But where to start when we have taken so many shows to
heart, learnt their one liners, and now even tend to greet Ross &
Rachel, Carrie Mathison and Jack Bauer like old friends?
So to
celebrate the release of Homeland: The Complete Fourth Season on
Blu-ray and DVD on 15th June we take a look at the 10 best
US box sets for you to lose yourself and your weekend in.
Homeland:
Picking up from the
heart-stopping Season Three finale, the Complete Fourth Season sees
Carrie (Claire Danes) determined to the best agent possible and
assigned to Kabul on the trail of a Taliban Leader. Gripping action,
American politics, new threats and Rupert Friend – you could want
for nothing more in this series of the award winning Homeland.
Friends:
Ross, Rachel, Monica,
Chandler, Joey and Phoebe and 236 episodes of sitcom gold. Although
it’s only six people living in New York (with seemingly no 9-5
schedule nor rent to hold them back) Friends is bound to make you
laugh and bound to make you watch for hours on end.
Mad Men:
Jon Hamm, Christina
Hendricks and January Jones – need we say more? This show immerses
you in the 1960’s. Following the life and times of Don Draper
(Hamm) it is packed with dapper suits, stunning design and witty
characters that whip you into shape.
The Sopranos:
It has been eight years
since we said goodbye to this old-school criminal empire but the
phenomenal acting will never get old. Full of twists and turns the
dark drama follows Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), through personal
and professional problems all the way to classic TV Show status.
House of Cards:
It is Kevin Spacey
making politics powerful and enchanting; the acclaimed show watches
the rise of Francis Underwood (Spacey) through the political system
in Washington with vigour and vengeance in mind.
Buffy the Vampire
Slayer:
Before the modern
obsession with vampires like Edward and Bella, Buffy (Sarah Michelle
Gellar) carved the path with the darker side of vampirism. Over seven
series she grows into her vampire slaying role encountering classic
characters such as Angel; in essence it is an ex-cheerleader saving
the world and yet Joss Whedon made it so cool.
Breaking Bad:
Chemistry teacher
Walter White is diagnosed with cancer and given two years to live so
naturally he collaborates with a former student of his to create a
life of crime and drugs. You are one of a tiny minority if you missed
all the hype, buzz and excitement first time round.
Game of Thrones:
This
medieval fantasy drama has got viewers gorging on content so much so
that the writer of the original novels, George R. R. Martin, cannot
keep up. An all-star cast have taken up residence in Westeros with
enough battles, lies and debauchery to last anyone a lifetime.
24:
Ground breaking
television, 24 taught global audiences that you could tell a story in
a different manner. This real time series follows the seriously
likeable Jack Bauer as a counter terrorist agent saving himself and
his country from intricate plots and impending doom.
Orange is the New
Black:
It follows the
adventures of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), an upper-middle class
New Yorker who is sent to a women’s prison because of her colourful
past. The Netflix original is full to the brim with hilarity but also
heart-break as you are immersed in the world of Piper and her
inmates.
