When Friends ended its 10 year reign in 2004, it wasn’t long until fans were itching to know if there would ever be a reunion. It was inevitable – the show was a phenomenal cultural hit to the extent that it has far surpassed its original scope.
Since then, claims have been thrown around almost yearly regarding whether or not the six friends would reunite on our screens for one last time, ranging from a definite yes to suggestions that Jennifer Aniston would definitely never be on board with the idea.
However, shortly before Christmas everything changed for Friends fans when a reunion poster titled The One After The 10 Year Break appeared. Then came a series of articles surrounding the hype of the poster claiming that there would in fact be a Friends reunion this year. Unfortunately, and somewhat inevitably, there was once again no basis for...

Jeffrey Pollack helped make a lot of people laugh over the years. The director of the comedies Booty Call and Above the Rim died suddenly on Monday in Hermosa Beach, Calif. He was 54. Pollack was found in Greenbelt Park, a popular jogging spot in the area, and was wearing jogging clothes, Lt. Tom Thompson of the Hermosa Beach Police Department confirmed to E! News. Thompson said that nothing about the death appeared unusual and authorities had no reason to suspect foul play. A woman ran into the police station at 6:23 a.m. to report that a man was lying in the Greenbelt area near 30th Street. Pollack was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The official cause has not yet been...

"I had a dream about ham sandwiches and broadband." Mixing lovely poetic ramblings with self-consciously quirky comedy sounds like a recipe for disaster, and, truth to tell, there are enough half-baked sequences in Black Pond to keep it from being a complete success. Yet the parts that work outweigh those that don't, and the dry, deadpan presentation -- or, what we unenlightened Americans tend to think of as "typical British humour" -- helps to make the film consistently engaging. Framed by documentary-style interviews with members of the Thompson family, interspersed with brief snippets of tabloid newspapers identifying them as "a family of killers," the film proper commences with Tom Thompson (Chris Langham) meeting Blake (Colin Hurley). Blake is an odd fellow, who tells Tom...

A first time British feature that is a deeply eccentric, haunting marvel
If Syd Barrett had ever written and directed a movie, it might well have looked like this: an indie tragicomedy from the dark heart of rural suburbia, by newcomers Tom Kingsley and Will Sharpe. Black Pond is funny, dreamily lyrical, armour-plated with eccentric self-confidence and also intensely English. It also, I have to say, has one of the most disturbing dream sequences I have seen for a while. Looking around for recent comparisons, I find myself reaching for Nick Whitfield's Skeletons, or Ben Wheatley's Kill List, possibly Joanna Hogg's Unrelated, or even John Morton's TV mockumentary series People Like Us.
This last reference is, of course, due to the powerful, even sensational presence of Chris Langham, making his first professional appearance since his recent disgrace. He creates a portrait of bourgeois midlife crisis that...

An ordinary family are accused of murder when a stranger dies at their dinner table.
Will Sharpe and Tom Kingsley’s Black Pond is a savvy slice of debilitated middle-class family life. The film and its characters may not quite tally up to more than their quirky parts, but this is still an intriguingly idiosyncratic debut.
We start with mockumentary-style interviews with Tom Thompson (Chris Langham), his wife Sophie (Amanda Hadingue), their two late-teen daughters and their shy friend Tim (Sharpe). Snippets from each hint at some ruinous event that has riven them apart, while...
