Luke Perry plays a washed-up hellraiser coaching a geeky kid through a music competition in this corny, badly cast film
Only child Tom (Nicholas Galitzine), a teen with a self-harming habit, lives with his Christian mum (Lisa Dillon) and practises the guitar in secret because he’s too shy to perform in front of anyone. When washed-up rock star Steve (Beverly Hills, 90210’s Luke Perry) moves in incognito downstairs, Tom pesters him into becoming a musical mentor so he can compete in an upcoming music competition. It would be easier to forgive the corny, sub-Grange Hill cliches in writer-director John Williams’s script if the actual music, on whose excellence the whole thing depends, was credibly catchy and not derivative tosh. And it doesn’t help that all the leads apart from Perry (a fun choice for a jaded has-been) are so unconvincingly cast. Lead Galitzine, with his bee-stung mouth,...

It was a fine week for TV titles getting back to doing exactly what they say on the tin, rather than being confections accorded unfathomable linked triplings or actionable puns ("Quick, Thick and Cheap!"; "The Unbearable Blightness of Leering"; "Clams, Hams and Thank-You-Ma'ams", though I'm sure Gino D'Acampo would winningly step up). Rev was about a Rev. The Jury was about a jury. It was a week of the most refreshingly direct titles since the quiz show Pointless.
The Jury was, over five full nights, pretty damned good. I would have hesitated years ago to even cover this, given that some souls enjoy a meal or a friend mid-evening and,...

Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Patrick Stewart is dating an up-and-coming actress nearly forty years his junior, following his split from his producer wife Wendy Neuss.

A source reveals, "Their closeness is the talk of the theatrical world. They've been seen together on a number of occasions and seem to enjoy each other's company.
