Thirty Seconds To Mars have responded to a recent viral drum video, which saw Chad Smith nail a performance of one of their songs.The moment came last month, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer went viral after expertly playing along to the band’s 2005 song ‘The Kill’ as he listened to it for the first time.The challenge was presented by Drumeo as part of its For The First Time series, and Smith soon turned heads by seeming to know instinctively where the song was going next even though he didn’t know it, nor the artist who first played it.“What the fuck was that? Is that like My Chemical Romance or something?” he asked after wrapping up the cover. He also confirmed that he had never heard the song before, but guessed that it was “some kind of emo thing”.Now, following the clip amassing nearly five million views in just two weeks, the band behind the track have shared a response to the online hit video, and described Smith’s efforts as “incredible”.Sharing a video to their official TikTok account, brothers Jared and Shannon Leto offered a silent but enthusiastic reaction to the original video.Frontman Jared mouthed along the lyrics to the track and gave numerous ‘thumbs ups’ to the clip, while drummer Shannon air-drummed along to Smith’s take.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic SPOILER ALERT: The following review contains spoilers about the reason for all the killing. Years ago, Indian director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat fell asleep on a cross-country train ride, only to discover upon reaching his destination that the cars on either side of his had been robbed by armed bandits, known as “dacoits.” The heist couldn’t have been too intense, or it would have awakened him, but it got the helmer’s gears turning about what a truly terrifying train raid might look like. The answer: “Kill,” in which a crew of 40-odd thieves board a train, intending to steal passengers’ watches and phones, then turn bloodthirsty after running into a pair of hardheaded commandos.

Shoplifting crimes in South Ayrshire have spiked by almost 25 per cent in the last year.

A yellow weather alert for rain has been issued for West Lothian from tonight as downpours are set to continue into the weekend.

A new trend on the fall festival circuit this year is the biopic of the unknown hero, something that seems unthinkable now in the digital age. There’s One Life, about the Schindler-like achievements of Nicholas Winton, who saved nearly 700 Jewish children from certain death in German-occupied Prague. There’s Rustin, about the gay, Black activist who organized the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom — literally, right down to the toilet facilities — and had to wait 50 years for an official thank-you.

Alissa Simon Film Critic A classically crafted feature debut from veteran TV director James Hawes (“Black Mirror”), “One Life” intercuts two eras 50 years apart in the long life of humble British humanitarian Sir Nicholas Winton (1909-2015), referred to by some as “the British Schindler.” The biopic serves as a testament to the power of good, with a prestige cast including a fine, understated Anthony Hopkins as the reflective, older Winton, still haunted by the tragic end to his plan to save European child refugees, and Johnny Flynn as his energetic younger self, who embodies the belief that that if something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it. Although the film as a whole struggles to match the poignancy of its finale, a re-creation of a famous 1988 clip from the British TV program “That’s Life!,” it nevertheless serves as an urgent reminder of the importance of individual action at a time when the world refugee crisis is at a scale not seen since the Second World War.
