5 h. ago Playing to win: are video game movies replacing superhero blockbusters?

The record-breaking box office for A Minecraft Movie has been followed by a rush of announcements for more films based on gamesMargot Robbie and Sydney Sweeney are two of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. As such, they’ve both logged their time in superhero movies of recent vintage (though Robbie’s turn as Harley Quinn is probably better-known than whatever Sweeney found herself doing in Madame Web). It feels notable, then, that in recent weeks they’ve both been connected to multiple projects based on video games. Robbie’s Lucky Chap plans to produce a movie based on The Sims; Sweeney, meanwhile, will produce OutRun, based on a 30-year-old arcade game, and has also signed to star in a movie based on the more recent hit game Split Fiction. Score a bunch of points for the gamers. Is the dawn of gamer cinema finally here?Regardless of this Hot Lady defection, superhero movies and other comics-based properties will likely stick around for years to come. Marvel still kicks off the ...

7 h. ago Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for asparagus, pea and lemon orzotto | Quick and easy

Orzo pasta with seeded pea pesto: spring on a plate, and a good option for the kids, tooThis dish manages to be simultaneously spring-like and comforting, thanks to the intense flavour from the pea pesto. Telling you to stir whole peas through orzo feels a bit too much like nursery food, but if you are serving this to small children who are amenable to pesto pasta (mine are not), I’d suggest finely blitzing the pumpkin seeds before adding them to the pesto, because they’re quite large pieces otherwise. Top with seasonal asparagus and this is the perfect dinner to eat outdoors on a warm spring evening. Continue reading...
