There’s a moment early in Episode 2 of “The Brothers Sun” that goes way harder than it needs to. It’s not any of the bodily dismemberment as gangster Charlie (Justin Chien) breaks up the pieces of an assassin with the calm help of his mother, Eileen (Michelle Yeoh), while his estranged younger brother Bruce (Sam Song Li) looks on in horror. It’s not the ambush where Charlie and Bruce need to escape hitmen wearing inflatable dinosaur costumes. It’s not any of the machinations of the Taipei gangsters now gunning for the Sun family. It’s just this little beat of Yeoh sitting at a vanity, taking a moment amid the massive disruption to her life brought by Charlie’s arrival from Taipei and the failed hit on her husband Big Sun (Johnny Kou).

The First Lady channeled her inner Alicia Florrick at Tuesday’s State of the Union address.
Michelle Obama was spotted wearing a grey Michael Kors suit with a zip-up top and wide shoulders, the same outfit that Julianna Marguilies' character donned on a season five episode of the hit CBS drama The Good Wife.
The side-by-side image of the women spread like wildfire, especially after a tweet by MSNBC’s Andrew Mitchell.
The Good Wife--and @MichelleObama?! Same outfit #nbcpolitics pic.twitter.com/2DIZTtjXIw

Back in September, Amal Clooney was spotted wearing an Alexander McQueen dress similar to one the First Lady had previously worn to a state dinner, proving that Mrs. Obama's Hollywood fashion influence is a two-way street.
Et’s Rocsi Diaz caught up with the First Lady at the White House Easter Egg Roll last year. See more from their discussion on kids and social media in the video below.

Picture the Inbetweeners gang in togas and you won't be too far off ITV2's new sitcom Plebs - Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry and Ryan Sampson star as three lads out to make it big and get lucky in Ancient Rome, and Danny Dyer pops up too as a rugged gladiator!
Rosenthal, who plays Marcus, took the time to speak to Digital Spy about the show - read on for all the scoop on Roman haircuts, pornographic vases and "strange sexual behaviours"!
What did you think when you first heard about Plebs?
"My agent got in touch and the initial idea really appealed to me - to be honest. It sounded very different to what your normal fodder is. Then, when I read it, I was really excited and ultimately I just wanted to work with [co-creator] Tom Basden, who's got such an amazing pedigree and is such an amazing stand-up in his own right,...

Eliminated I'm a Celebrity contestant Nadine Dorries has said that she is "bitterly disappointed" in David Cameron and other members of the Conservative party for condemning her participation in the show. The MP was suspended by the Tory party after she was announced for the programme earlier this month, with former chief whip Andrew Mitchell later claiming that she hadn't been given permission to appear. Speaking after her exit from I'm a Celeb last night (November 21), Dorries noted that she made sure to get permission for time off over the period of I'm a Celebrity since she had "rebelled a number of times" against her party. Addressing Mitchell's claims during an appearance on This Morning today, Dorries said: "Never in my seven and a half years as an MP [have I] taken any parliamentary time off (more)...

Gove referenced the 1950s Japanese classic when coming to ex-chief whip Andrew Mitchell's defence. Can the film's plot be applied elsewhere in politics?
Could it be another example of the Boris Johnson effect? If politicians are no longer afraid to scatter Latin tags, then surely it's just the next step to reference golden-age Japanese cinema in attempting to put your mark on a resignation crisis. Michael Gove, in his defence of the now-ex-chief whip Andrew Mitchell, suggested the old truth-is-relative concept by mentioning the Akira Kurosawa classic Rashômon.
Asked in a 5 Live radio interview whether he believed Mitchell, he said: "Yes I do. There's a Japanese film, I think it's called Rashômon, in which different participants who see the same event all have different recollections of it."
Rashômon famously upended the neatly packaged resolution of crime fiction by offering four different versions – none of them conclusive – of the same...

Harold Pinter theatre; Barbican, London
Trevor Nunn began the summer by directing a heavy-handed Kiss Me Kate; he ends it by staging a star-encrusted but tepid Chorus of Disapproval. What a waste. Of Alan Ayckbourn, whose 1984 play has not been taken seriously, and therefore looks unfunny. And of Nunn, who has been innovative (Nicholas Nickleby) and meticulous (his Merchant of Venice was a revelation because of its detail), and who has helped (with Gorky's Summerfolk) to widen the theatrical repertoire but is in danger of looking fusty.
Rob Brydon fans may think his performance alone is enough to justify the price of a ticket. He certainly provides the high points of the evening. As the director of the Pendon Light Operatic Society's amateur production of The Beggar's Opera, Brydon is hangdog and top dog: bullying, cardiganed, down in the dumps, overweening. He unleashes a terrific riff when, while trying out...

The United Kindom has decided to increase its foreign aid budget, despite widespread opposition. The government announced that an additional £3.7 billion are to be dispersed, bringing the total aid from £7.8 billion to £11.5 billion in 2015.
Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said the decision was based on a "moral duty" to support the world's disadvantaged. But his critics say that such charity should be directed toward domestic concerns, such as the national budget deficit.
"Aid saves lives, but it's also in our national interest. Conflict, violent extremism, unchecked migration, drug trafficking--all can be addressed upstream by aid," Mitchell told The Sun.
While that view is hotly contested, especially by aid critics like Bill Easterly and Dambisa Moyo, many governments feel that foreign aid is a critical protection against terrorism.
We reported last month on some very revealing statistics about support for foreign aid in the U.K. The term "moral imperative" was often...
