2 w. ago ‘It ain’t over till one of us is gone’: the pop stars who refuse to bury the hatchet

Madonna and Elton John thawed their frosty relationship this week – but from Mariah and J-Lo to David Gilmour and Roger Waters, plenty more are still at loggerheadsWhether informed by the perspective and poignancy of one’s twilight years, or by the promise of loads of touring cash, some of pop’s most bitter feuds are being put to bed. This week Madonna, who had caught wind that Elton John was appearing on SNL, headed down to the studios and – blessed with an A-lister’s supernatural freedom of movement – confronted John backstage over his various unkind remarks about her in the past. She forgave him and a potential collaboration is in the works.Meanwhile Oasis are getting ready to go back out on tour after years of tuber-based jibes between the Gallagher brothers, and Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had an emotional reunion last year with the latter admitting he’d “been a fool” to berate Simon in an interview. So who might be next? Continue reading...

2 w. ago A Minecraft Movie review – Jack Black and Jason Momoa star in seriously cobbled

Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess’s adventure based on the world’s favourite video game feels like one big cash-inIt’s a curious choice of title. A Minecraft Movie implies that this cynical intellectual property-rinsing exercise is one of numerous film adaptations of the enduringly popular sandbox video game. Perhaps there’s an alternative out there, a sharper, smarter, funnier version of a Minecraft movie. One with actual jokes. Or, God forbid, there may even be a worse iteration, although that’s hard to imagine. What becomes clear is that one of the key elements in the game’s popularity – the latitude it affords gamers to create their own experience – is a big stumbling block for any film adaptation of Minecraft.In the absence of a single fixed storyline the screenplay can follow, A Minecraft Movie has a cobbled-together feel, borrowing a device from Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle – and, in Jack Black, a star – and superimposing an all-purpose quest-for-an-artefact structure o...
