When it comes to hair colour trends, 2023 has been all about the red-tinged hues, with cowboy copper, cinnamon cookie and apple cider all making their way onto our styling mood boards over the last 12 months. However there’s one crimson shade that’s been slowly creeping into our peripheral vision, and its a much more subtle way of getting a red haired hue without quite so much commitment.

We don’t know about you, but we love a good Christmas tradition or two. Whether it’s decorating your tree together or watching the same film religiously on Christmas Eve, there’s nothing better to help get you in the festive spirit, and if there’s one tradition we can firmly get behind it’s matching Christmas pyjamas.

There’s nothing quite like that big pre-Christmas clean when everything is spotless and you can finally light that candle you’ve been saving just for the occasion. For most people, it's the time of year they want to splurge on a really special candle that’ll see them through the festive period, with Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Tonka Candle, £70 here, being the perfect Christmassy scent.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Would it have killed him to quit sit-ups for a few months? Maybe load up on some Häagen-Dazs? Famously, Mark Wahlberg wakes in the wee hours for a 3:30 a.m. workout — perhaps he could have treated himself to a five o’clock lie-in? Whatever the case, the star has made no concessions to dadbod reality in “The Family Plan.” Playing milquetoast car salesman Dan, a married father of three whom nobody knows used to be a high-level government assassin, he strips off early in proceedings — on a night of abortive anniversary lovemaking with his weary wife — to reveal a torso as jacked as the day is long.

Manuel Betancourt From “Kramer vs Kramer” to “Marriage Story,” Hollywood has offered no shortage of compelling tales about how divorce has a way of souring relationships — how, by their very nature, divorces dredge up the ugliest in people, making petty marital grievances balloon into resentful chasms that risk making the very process unbearable in ways both emotional and logistic. With “Our Son,” writer-director Bill Oliver (2018’s “Jonathan”) is adding an LGBTQ entry into that cinematic canon. And while this New York City-set divorce drama offers enough modern tweaks on a well-worn narrative, its emotional resonance remains elusive, muted even.

He’s trying to solve a staging problem in “The Dark of the Moon,” the school play he and the other kids are secretly putting on in Hawkins, Ind., in 1959. But audiences watching “Stranger Things: The First Shadow” will likely greet the line with a wry smile because immense, intense theatricality is there for all to see.

Michael Nordine author While it’s hardly news that most of us are under some form of surveillance any time we’re in public, the extent of Big Brother’s activities still has the capacity to astound. That’s nowhere truer than in the People’s Republic of China, whose efforts to monitor its citizens’ every action (public or otherwise) would make Orwell blush.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer IATSE has taken the rare step of suing the producers of “That’s Amore,” alleging that the production has failed to pay $570,000 in wages to 77 union workers. “That’s Amore” is a romantic comedy starring John Travolta and Katherine Heigl, which is written and directed by Nick Vallelonga, who won two Oscars for “Green Book.” The producers announced last month that they were finally getting off the ground. But according to the union, production actually began more than a year ago, in September 2022.
