The Irishman is the latest movie coming from Martin Scorsese, and this teaser gives us precious little information, which accounts for why it’s been called an ‘announcement’.

He has principles to a degree, but being monogamous isn’t one of them, as he lives with Tina, aka ‘Teens’ (Kerry Godliman), but he’s sleeping with several […]

Journey’s End is the seminal British play about World War I, set in a dugout in Aisne in 1918. It tells the tale of a group of British officers, led by the mentally disintegrating young officer Stanhope (Sam Claflin), variously awaiting their fate.
