It seems only natural that Severin Films would follow up its two Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee box sets with a collection of some of the more offbeat entries in the filmography of Peter Cushing, Lee’s legendary Hammer Films co-star. Cushing Curiosities collects five films and the remaining episodes of a TV series that highlight the diverse aspects of Cushing’s always authoritative on-screen persona. Featuring crisp new 2K restorations sourced from original elements, Severin’s compelling new set comes complete with loads of bonus materials, including some priceless audio interviews with the man himself and commentaries by historians, as well as Peter Cushing: A Portrait in Six Sketches, a 200-page book by film historian Jonathan Rigby.
Cushing appears as a stiff-necked yet urbane airline pilot in 1960’s Cone of Silence, a modestly compelling exposé based on the actual investigation into a 1952 airplane crash. Reprimanded for a crash that killed his copilot,...

Earlier this week, CBS announced that former One Direction member — and latest addition to the Christopher Nolan Players — Harry Styles is slated for a week-long residency on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” For four consecutive nights, starting on May 15, Styles will serve as the resident musical artist.
With that “Dunkirk” appearance on the horizon and a solo music career still in its early stages, you could do worse than Styles when picking someone to hand the keys to an entire week’s worth of late night. And having been through the process of a breakneck sketch show schedule, he’ll probably be a capable comedy sidekick for Corden.
But what if this residency is a smashing success? Which other bands and artists would be ripe for tenures of their own on the other major daily late-night shows?
Jon Batiste and Stay Human hold down the fort for “The Late Show.

Alt-j unleashed the new single "In Cold Blood" on Tuesday's Tonight Show. The British indie-rock trio were joined by Roots drummer Questlove, who beefed up the drum attack, and a guest horn section that offered dramatic swells and soulful counter-melodies.
Singer-guitarist Joe Newman led the band through multiple rhythmic shifts and tempo changes, anchoring the unusual song structure with a sing-along chorus.
The track appears on Alt-j's upcoming third LP, Relaxer, out June 2nd. The eight-track album, which follows 2014's This Is All Yours, also features the equally sprawling "3Ww.

After a year off in 2012, Glastonbury returned with a triumphant bang that won't soon be forgotten. Thousands of acts performed this weekend on over 50 stages in the UK's biggest music festival, with 180,000 people descending on a sprawling English farm.
The Rolling Stones played for the first time in the festival's 43 years, an event billed as a moment of rock history. Tickets sold out in minutes last October, long before The Stones, Mumford and Sons, The Arctic Monkeys and Public Enemy were confirmed as headliners. Those who did score tickets also had the opportunity to catch unexpected shows, like Radiohead singer Thom Yorke's secret set this year.
Rain has plagued past festivals, but this year attendees were blessed with sunshine.
Though there were many memorable moments, here are five that we think were the most standout.
