THE-WITCH

What you may need to know:

1. In 1630s New England, the infant son of a Puritan family disappears. Father William (Ralph Ineson) suspects daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) of witchcraft.

2. Those crazy Puritans and their witchcraft.

3. The debut feature from writer/director Robert Eggers went down very well at this year’s Sundance.

4. You may recognise Ineson as Finchy from The Office. You may also recognise his sonorous tones as the voice behind any number of benefits cheating/airport customs-based reality docusoaps.

5. The absence of jump scares, found footage and Rob Zombie bodes well.

6. Broadsheet prognosis: Don’t go in the woods.

Release Date: 2016 (TBC).

Minister for Defence Simon Coveney launching a Army recruitment campaign

So Coveney is now rather keen,
To dress up more women in green,
Let’s face it, it’s fun,
To carry a gun,
But the wages are said to be mean.

Ramos, who accused Trump on CNN on [Monday night] of “spreading hate” over his controversial remarks on immigration, was immediately removed by security from the early evening press conference in Dubuque, Iowa.
