Bharat Nalluri directs this British spy thriller, spin-off of the BBC television series starring Peter Firth. During a seemingly routine handover, terrorist suspect Adem Qasim (Elyes Gabel) escapes from MI5 custody and goes on the run. As disgraced former head of MI5 Harry Pearce (Firth) is also missing, it is left to his protégé Will Holloway (Kit Harington) to find Harry and stop the alleged impending terrorist attack on the capital city. The cast also includes Jennifer Ehle, Lara Pulver and David Harewood.
Carl Upsdell and Mauro Casalese direct this animated feature which traces the origins of the Marvel Comics character. With his adamantium skeleton, ability to self-heal and razor sharp claws, Wolverine (voice of Brian Drummond) is arguably the toughest of all the X-Men. However, he wasn't always this way - the adamantium was bonded to his skeleton as part of the project known as 'Weapon-X'. But what of Wolverine's life before this? Where was he born and raised and how did he end up as a subject of the Weapon-X project?
I pull on my balaclava and step onto the bridge wing. It's loud outside- I can hear the rumbles of nine vessels' engines and the hiss of ten water cannons ...suddenly the bridge is full of refugees from the upper deck. They are blocking my view out the back windows, but their faces - afraid, excited, awestruck - illustrate the looming presence of the Nisshin. I bend my knees and grip the bench, ready for the crunch. In Blood and Guts, Sam Vincent plunges into the whale wars. Vincent sets sail with Sea Shepherd, led by the charismatic and abrasive Paul Watson. He attends the recent case at the International Court of Justice, which finds Japan's 'scientific' whaling in the southern Ocean to be unlawful. And he travels to Japan to investigate why its government doggedly continues to bankroll the unprofitable hunt. This is a fresh, funny and intelligent look at how Australia has become the most vocal anti-whaling nation on Earth. Vincent skewers hypocrisy and sheds light on motives noble and otherwise. With Japan planning to relaunch its lethal program in 2015, the whale wars are set to continue. Blood and Guts is a riveting work of immersion journalism that lays bare the forces driving this conflict.
