What you may need to know:
1. An island castaway (Paul Dano) finds a flatulent, multi-functional corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) and uses it to escape.
2. Yes, really.
3. All credit to Radcliffe for picking interesting post-Potter roles, but what the what?
4. This really split audiences when it premiered at Sundance this year. There were plenty of walk-outs, but it went on to win the directing award.
5. Go Hasselhoff!
6. Broadsheet prognosis: Weekend at Bernie’s III.
Release Date: June 17.
Republican US Presidential candidate hopeful Ted Cruz (right) and family last night
The people in Wisconsin choose,
To give their support to Ted Cruz,
He may be a freak,
With a far right wing streak,
But it’s worth it to see Donald lose.

Behold Territorio de Zaguates – a refuge for stray dogs in the Santa Barbara mountains of Costa Rica. Home to more that 900 rescued dogs who roam freely about the hills during the day, returning to cosy beds provided by the staff at night.
Visitors are encouraged, walks with the pack can be arranged and adoptions are, unsurprisingly, fairly common.
MORE to folly.
This evening.
On Upper Clanbrassil Street, Dublin 8.

The final leaders debate on RTÉ’s Prime Time
During the final leaders’ debate, broadcast live on RTÉ television on 23 February, presenter Miriam O’Callaghan wanted to know if Gerry Adams in government would appoint “cronies” to state boards.
She made reference to a number of individuals, including Danny Morrison. When Adams pointed that Danny Morrison is now a “private citizen” she responded that he had been “convicted for kidnapping”.
O’Callaghan – whose brother Jim was elected as a TD for Fianna Fáil just days later – was apparently unaware that the kidnapping for which Morrison was convicted in 1990 (and for which he spent over five years in prison) was overturned in 2008 and he was paid substantial compensation from the British state…
…The second law-suit is in relation to an interview given by the Labour Party’s then TD Joe Costello to Saturday with Claire Byrne on RTÉ Radio in which he named Sinn Féin’s Nicky Kehoe in relation to unfounded media accusations which claimed ‘sinister and subversive elements’ are controlling the party.
