Ill Manors is not autobiographical, although it was party inspired by real events witnessed by the director and his friends. The film plots several days in the lives of several loosely linked characters in Forest Gate, Drew’s own home neighborhood, close to East London’s new Olympic Park. Aaron (Ahmed) is the downtrodden deputy to small-time drug dealer Ed (Ed Skrein), a relationship which becomes strained when the latter ruthlessly pimps out crack-addicted prostitute Michelle (Anouska Mond) to a string of sleazy clients to pay for his lost cellphone. This won’t be for everyone. There’s crackheads, prostitution, pedophiles, drugs and violence but there’s also an incredible empathy for even the most horrible characters. There’s also some good humour too. The acting’s fantastic. With some faces you know and some you don’t, each performance is bang on. Overall a deep, very well made film with terrific performances and a truly original style.

This newest Pentatonix album is composed of mostly original songs. I have been anxiously awaiting this new album and even though I’ve only had a chance to play at one time through, it is wonderful. It seems like most of the songs highlight Scott’s singing but they do let the other members have some breakthrough moments. Avi Kaplan singing lead in “Light in the hallway” is a real treat and he really exercises his vocal range in this song. All in all I feel like for their first really original effort that it’s excellent and they bring to the party what they always bring, tight harmonies, lots of bounce and the perfect blending of those five very talented people. This is a must-have for Pentatonix for fans!
