3 d. ago From Heat to thermals: Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have paired up to flog puffer jackets

Thirty years after they first shared a screen, the pair of Hollywood icons are back! With an advert for coatsReaders of a certain age will remember the sheer nuclear impact of Michael Mann’s Heat on its release in 1995.

This island nation off the coast of Senegal, with a population of fewer than 600,000, has become the second-smallest country to qualify for the tournament, after Iceland in 2018. Continue reading...
