A post-apocalyptic survival story with a bruised heart, The Dog Stars finds hope in the wreckage - one pilot, one loyal dog, one battered Cessna, and the faint crackle of a voice on the radio.

Tom reviews this haunting new Ridley Scott drama in View Magazine: a story of grief, isolation, and the strange, stubborn business of staying human when the world has gone quiet.

One man. One collapsing nation. One very large cinematic baguette.

This sweeping new French epic follows Charles de Gaulle from the chaos of the 1940 N**i invasion through to the early Allied campaigns in North Africa - with tank battles, political teeth-baring, and a wonderfully prickly Churchill/de Gaulle face-off that plays like a British bulldog meeting an imperious Dobermann.

Big history. Big performances. Big French cinema energy.

Before the legend, the kitchens, the chaos, and the beautifully brutal honesty — there was Tony.

Dominic Sessa stars as a young Anthony Bourdain: arrogant, vulnerable, hungry, and already dancing a little too close to the flame. With Antonio Banderas in the mix, Tony serves up sharp knives, hot pans, big ego, and the first taste of a life that would become unforgettable.

A tasty reheat with a bittersweet aftertaste.
