First and foremost: Chesley Sullenberger did extraordinary work in landing Us Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River, and every single person involved in the rescue efforts that day deserves the highest possible praise for how they handled things. Every single passenger and crew member aboard survived, and that is to be celebrated, certainly. But as a film? I can imagine all of the good impulses that went into the decision to make Sully, but none of that matters when the film is as resolutely limp as this one. Clint Eastwood often works in a minor key, which is one of the things I like most about him as a filmmaker. He has always been interested in the understated, and Sully is certainly that. The danger is that you can be so understated that it becomes inert, and in the case of Sully, I don’t get the entire thing. I...

The takeoff scenes are pretty accurate, says pilot Ben Edwards, but you'd never get a drunk like Denzel Washington's character into a cockpit today
There is no room for mavericks in flying. The best pilots are those who follow procedures to the letter, so I was wholly unconvinced by the idea, as depicted in this film, that a pilot high on alcohol and cocaine could successfully land a free-falling passenger plane.
I've never heard of a pilot with a major alcohol problem, but there is a big drinking culture. You'll see pilots and stewards drinking a lot on stopovers, and some captains put pressure on their younger co-pilots to drink to excess. It's not as bad as it used to be, though: older pilots talk about the "bad old days" of drinking, when you really could imagine a character like the pilot in the film, Whip Whitman (Denzel Washington...

When Series 3 of the British science fiction comedy drama Misfits came to an end this time last year, it was difficult to imagine what could happen next and which characters would even return if the series were to continue. With the revelation that most of the cast would not be reprising their roles in this new series, and that the series would instead be led by original member Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett), recent additions Rudy (Joseph Gilgun) and Seth (Matthew McNulty), and new characters Jess (Karla Crome) and Finn (Nathan McMullen), it could either pick up quite suitably, or, more than likely, could go completely downhill. Fortunately, whilst the series will never be as good without its original cast members together, it worked out quite well.
