Three people who pleaded guilty to killing their overdosing friend by strangling him with jumper cables were sentenced to prison Wednesday in Pennsylvania, according to multiple reports.
Preston Layfield, Tyler Mirabelli, and Amanda Wayda all pleaded guilty in August to third-degree murder in the death of 21-year-old Joshua Rose, reports Wnep.
Police said at the time of the trio’s arrest that Rose was suffering an overdose when the trio got into a truck with him, drove him down Interstate 81 and strangled him with jumper cables before dumping his body over an embankment in a wooded area.

Based on an unsparing, unprettified 2005 family memoir by former gossip columnist Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle arrives on the big screen slicked up and eager to sooth when it should be ready to rumble. Walls pulled no punches on the page, using her own childhood to build a microcosm of poverty in America and what it does to children. She and her three siblings had to shit in a bucket and get by without heat, electricity and plumbing. The family lived off the grid as squatters, before settling awhile in...

American Sniper Sean offered up his review of the new American Sniper Blu-ray and seems to generally agree with my take on the film itself, but does seem to give it a little leeway thanks to one of the disc's few special features. I'll never watch this movie again, but I'm sure it will do gangbusters with the crowd that propelled it to become the highest grossing domestic release of 2014 at $349.6 million, topping The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 by $12 million.
Limelight (Criteron Collection) I started watching this one just last night and I hope to have a review for you no later than the end of the week along with The Rose below as I neglected my Criterion duties this weekend in favor of watching "The Wire" and I even admit to watching a few more episodes of "The Wire" last night when I should have been watching this.

The director of Oldboy has featured vendettas, incest and even amateur dentistry in his movies. So what horrors does his first Hollywood film, the 'gothic fairytale' Stoker, have in store?
Park Chan-wook is clearly in a very dark place. His head is bowed, his mood blue. What terrible circumstances could be troubling the South Korean director who masterminded the queasy excesses of Oldboy and the rest of his Vengeance trilogy? Recent incarceration by an unknown malefactor? Is he being hounded by a secret black-market organ-smuggling operation?
In fact, his cat has died, and he's still struggling to cope. "I'd had him for more than 10 years."
Mooka, Park's Russian Blue puss, was just one of the victims of a kitty reaper that stalked the set of his new film, Stoker. Composer Clint Mansell's mog died at the same time. "The only consolation is that it didn't happen during shooting, but during postproduction,...

A New collection of fiction stories has been launched by bosses of a UK particle accelerator following a writing competition held in 2011.
Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron science facility, has unveiled its Light Reading Anthology, featuring stories written by members of the public from all walks of life.
All the authors were inspired by the science of the Diamond synchrotron, which produces some of the brightest light on the planet and helps thousands of scientists every year to study all kinds of materials, from artificial hips and samples of the Mary Rose to virus proteins and potential new fuel sources.
Winning writers gathered at Diamond to get their first glimpse of the compilation. The anthology contains the best 20 stories entered into the main competition category (3,000 words) and the five Flash Fiction entries (300 words or less) that received the most votes from the public via the Light Reading website.

The man who dressed Raging Bull, Goodfellas and the Color of Money, costume designer Richard Bruno, has died aged 87.
Bruno’s career spanned thirty years and he worked on fifty feature films. His early work as a wardrobe supervisor provided a prestige backdrop to his later collaborations with director Martin Scorsese, which would eventually lead to a BAFTA win for Goodfellas (1990); movies such as Westworld (1973), Chinatown (1975) and as a wardrobe consultant for Robert De Niro on The Untouchables (1987). Richard Bruno also provided De Niro’s memorable look, the red clip-on bow tie and geometric print jacket as Rupert Pupkin in The King of Comedy (1983).

After the leisurely stroll along Kings Road from Sloane Square and spurred onto seasonal gluttony by the impressively exuberant if none too environmentally friendly Christmas displays of Chelsea retail’s finest, I had high hopes for the Big Easy, hopes on a par with the hefty promises of crab, lobster steak and a dazzling variety of margaritas for a decidedly Un-Chelsea price tag.
The Big Easy styles itself as Gulf Coast crab shack and BBQ restaurant serving “…only the biggest and the best”™ and “The Only Bar-b-q Worth Coming Back For”™, and a legendary list of daily specials all accompanied by an expansive cocktail list, many of which are available as pitchers all served to a young West London crowd. On first impressions, it did not disappoint. The mild confusion in the search for our reservation ‘…am I blind?...

Here's your chance to create sci-fi from real science.
Bosses of a British particle accelerator are hoping to light up the public's imaginations with a national writing competition.
Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron facility, located in the Oxfordshire countryside and funded by the government via the Science and Technology Facilities Council and by the Wellcome Trust.
The silver, doughnut-shaped building - with a circumference of 562 metres - houses a powerful machine called a synchrotron.
It generates incredibly bright beams of light from infra-red to ultra-violet and X-rays and is used by thousands of scientists every year to study all kinds of materials, from artificial hips and samples of Henry VIII's Mary Rose warship to virus proteins and potential new fuel sources. Diamond's X-rays are 100 billion times brighter than those emitted by a hospital X-ray machine.

During Summer 2011 -- winding down at last! -- we've been asking Tfe readers to choose the most memorable Best Actress nominated film characters. Which film characters have you taken into your hearts and headspace most fully? Who is always popping into mind unbidden? Below are the latest voting results for August's polls covering the 1960s & 1970s (previous results: 1980s and 1991-2010). We used five year intervals for voting and asked readers to choose the 5 most memorable characters from each group of 25 Oscar nominees.
If you're looking for these polls to provide a "face" of an era it looks like Julie Andrews wins the early 60s -- she was thoroughly modern back then! -- and Faye Dunaway takes over from there for a long run at the top (1966-1980) [* indicates that it was an Oscar winning role.]

Mary Byrne has spoken out about her devastation when she lost both her mother and father to dementia.
The former X factor contestant was in Ballymena, Northern Ireland this week, backing a UK Dementia Community Roadshow, when she admitted that she and her brother had been left broken by the experience of watching their parents get more and more distant before their deaths.
The Dublin born mum of one was back in Tesco for the day when she explained that her mum 69 year old mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1993 and died just two years later. Here dad suffered from dementia and died aged 82, in 2004.
She told The Belfast Telegraph:
“It was very tough emotionally and physically on my younger brother and myself.”
“My mum died two years after she was diagnosed, but she had it for years prior to that. We knew nothing about it because the information was not there.

Jonathan Franzen's family epic, a new collection from Seamus Heaney, Philip Larkin's love letters, a memoir centred on tiny Japanese sculptures ... which books most excited our writers this year?
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
In Red Dust Road (Picador) Jackie Kay writes lucidly and honestly about being the adopted black daughter of white parents, about searching for her white birth mother and Nigerian birth father, and about the many layers of identity. She has a rare ability to portray sentiment with absolutely no sentimentality. Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns (Random House) is a fresh and wonderful history of African-American migration. Chang-rae Lee's The Surrendered (Little, Brown) is a grave, beautiful novel about people who experienced the Korean war and the war's legacy. And David Remnick's The Bridge (Picador) is a thorough and well-written biography of Barack Obama. The many Americans who believe invented biographical details about Obama would do well to read it.
