Toy Story 3 At 10: Pixar At Their Very Best

All Pixar movies are worth watching (yes, even The Good Dinosaur), but some of their output ranks among the greatest animated films ever made. Rotten Tomatoes may put Toy Story 2 at the top of the Tomato tree with a 100% ranking, but I'm here to argue that 2010's threequel is more deserving of the number one spot as it reaches its tenth anniversary.

How One Graduate Is Shaming The Country's Bad Landlords

Student housing is pretty notorious for being terrible. Beans on toast, no heating and thin walls are three pillars of the typical student lifestyle. Whilst the rise of ultra-pricey, ultra-glam, 'Instagrammable' student accommodation has left those who can afford it with beautiful high-rise city centre apartments, there's still a lot of housing options that don't hit the mark and seem stuck in the past.

Piers Morgan was joined on Good Morning Britain today by rapper, Youtuber and social media personality KSI. The pair had a Twitter contest live on air to crown the "King of the Internet" - to see who could get the most retweets and likes on their simple, matching Tweets: "I am the king of the internet @GMB" Morgan went in with his usual cocky persona but was quickly shown up when his guest received over 6000 more retweets than the broadcaster.

A Day In The Life Of... A Samaritan

It's an incredibly important position. Nearly 1% of British people ring the Samaritans' hotline every year. To break that down, that's more than five million people a year, meaning every six seconds, someone calls. The Samaritans maintain a 24/7 hotline where people can speak about their life without fear of judgement, because everything is 100% confidential and untraceable.

FrightFest 2019: Here Comes Hell - Review

Here Comes Hell is a non-stop joyride of splattery fun, if you can get past the dour opening quarter. It's a tightly shot thriller written and directed by Jack McHenry in a first time feature effort. The film is a loving satire of horrors from across the decades.
