Welcome to the big screen adaptation of the all-conquering phone app game Angry Birds, set on a paradise island populated by a community of flightless birds. Among them is the grumpy Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) who, after an altercation at a birthday party, is ordered to attend anger management classes. While Red learns to control his temper with a variety of other barmy birds, the island is visited by a ship of bright green pigs – fronted by the cunning Leonard (voiced by Bill Hader) – who, while friendly on the surface, may have sinister plans for the island and its feathered inhabitants. Read More Angry Birds The voice cast also includes Sean Penn and Game Of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage, and while the visuals are colourful and attractive, this is a movie that’s aimed squarely at the under-10s audience. The grumpy and petty-natured Red isn’t particularly attractive as a central character and there’s an over-reliance on lazy bird gags that might … [Read more...] about The Angry Birds Movie (3D) – review: Not a classic but nothing to get you raging

Grandparents named Britain’s happiest couple after 50 years of marriage – and their one and only row was over a sofa
A DEVOTED duo whose only major row in 50 years of marriage was over a sofa have been named Britain’s happiest couple. Grandparents Barry and Leslie Holmes say their love is stronger now than ever. The pair met as teenagers and got married in 1969, three days after Barry’s 21st birthday. Barry, now, 71, described it as the “best present he could ever ask for”. The couple have barely had a cross word since. Their only argument came when they were much younger and moving in together. Leslie, 72, recalled: “We were getting a new sofa — Barry was at work and I went to pick it up, but they didn’t have the colour we wanted.“Barry refused to move into a new house with the old second hand sofa we had and the next day he went to the store and got a new one. “We’d lived with his mum before and I think the pressure of the move got to him.” The pair — who have two daughters, Tracy and Amanda, and four grandchildren — … [Read more...] about Grandparents named Britain’s happiest couple after 50 years of marriage – and their one and only row was over a sofa
