We know you're all very excited for Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, but comedian Margaret Cho has some bad news for you: There's yellowface. Yes, it's almost 2016, and it's like we're back to Mickey Rooney circa 1961 being really offensive in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Scottish comedian Janette Tough makes a cameo appearance in the film as a male Japanese fashion designer named "Huki Muki" (that is not a real Japanese name) in an outfit that's clearly a reference to the artist Yayoi Kusama. Cho was the first to point out this troubling bit of yellowface, writing on Twitter, "It's hard enough to get into film and TV as a person of color - and when roles written for us are played by white actors - it's an outrage." She tweets: There are a number of troubling aspects to this beyond the yellowface, which includes...

Remakes of horror movies are nothing new in Hollywood. We recently got one for Evil Dead, The Thing, and we’re a few weeks away from a modernized version of Steven Spielberg’s Poltergeist. Even in terms of ’70s horror, there have been countless sequels and spinoffs all varying on the initial premise of The Exorcist.
But this latest planned remake boggles the mind. Don’t Look Now is Nicolas Roeg’s classic art house horror staple of the ’70s. Starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie, it’s the story of a family who tragically loses their daughter in a drowning accident, then travels to Venice to try and piece their life back together, only to be warned by a clairvoyant nun that their daughter brings a message of danger from the afterlife. It’s not your typical jump-scare fest for teenagers to say the least.

Five jokers in a lift and one of them's the devil. But does Devil smell of sulphur or does it simply stink?
Let's imagine that we're in a parallel dimension. A parallel dimension where M Night Shyamalan didn't make Signs or The Lady in the Water or The Village or The Happening or The Last Airbender. A parallel dimension where he's still the critically acclaimed director of blockbuster movies that haven't been scuppered by gimmicky premises, leaden performances and his own nebulous ego. In this dimension, the news that he'd produced Devil – a new supernatural thriller based on his own story – would probably be greeted with euphoria.
But we're not in a parallel dimension. We're in this one, where M Night Shyamalan really did make all of those horrible films, even the one where Mark Wahlberg tried to reason with a pot plant. And Devil is the first instalment from Shyamalan's Night Chronicles series,...

According to Janette Tough, 62, who performs as Wee Jimmy Krankie, one of Boyle's siblings was upset when she pretended to be the Britain's Got Talent star on stage. Tough performed the skit, which involved her wearing a fat suit and pretending to have Boyle's pet cat Pebbles, with her husband Ian in Wolverhampton. "Afterwards, I got a letter from Susan's sister. It said there had been enough of this mickey-taking of her sister and that it was disgusting," she told the Daily Record. "It said the trouble Susan had come across when she went to school was enough in her life. "I wanted to write back and (more)...
