I was late to the TV show which preceded this very successful big screen jaunt for The Inbetweeners and caught up with the entire run over the course of a month thanks to Channel 4′s Od service and found it easy to enjoy the foul-mouthed cocksure swagger which is a crudely constructed front to the pitiful sadness which holds the group of teenagers together.
If you’ve not seen the show you won’t be at a loss as how the group shapes up; Will is the eternal outcast, a public schoolboy thrust into the intimidating torrent of middle class education and given the name Briefcase Wanker early on, Simon is sick with love for his childhood crush (who breaks up with him after a doomed summer romance at the start of the film), Jay is an enthusiastic onanist whose outlandish boasts are as unlikely as his chances of...

F/X A scene from “Justified.”
Raylan turns detective, in more ways than one, in “The Collection”, last night’s introspective episode of “Justified.”
Indeed, Raylan’s in search of answers this week. On the personal front, he visits Boyd Crowder in jail, hoping that he can provide information regarding what Raylan’s father Arlo is really up to these days. Boyd is disarmingly cagey, yet somewhat pointed in his assertion that Raylan walks around with a cloud of death around him. Poker faced, Raylan doesn’t give Boyd the satisfaction of showing whether he’s rattled by the “born-again ex-criminal’s” words, but as we know, he’s been unsettled ever since he’s been in Kentucky.
After Raylan is chided by Art for sleeping with Eva while he and she are still being investigated, the two of them drive to the house of Owen Carnes, a wealthy art...

Why layering data on top of smartphones and computer screens is both a fad and the future.
You wouldn't immediately suspect that Yelp's iPhone app might be a gift bestowed upon us by a benevolent superhero from the future. Load it up and the program's in its Clark Kent garb -- a useful-enough guide to local restaurants, bars, and merchants.
Then you notice a button labeled monocle in the right-hand corner. Hit it and the screen displays a live feed from the phone's camera, showing exactly what's in front of you -- with one big difference. Aim the camera at a local storefront and Yelp superimposes a star rating on the image. Use Monocle in a hot neighborhood, for instance, and point it at every restaurant for a quick appraisal of the best food in the area.
