The Business of Film: Evil Dead Rise, Missing & Operation Fortune - Ruse de Guerre
James Cameron-Wilson takes Simon Rose through the UK box office numbers, down 25% week on week. Super Mario Bros still dominates with Evil Dead Rises (5th in the series) debuting at #2. James found it stupidly predictable and cliched. He was much more impressed by Missing at #6. Another slim-budgeted screenlife movie, he found it gripping and emotionally involving, as well as being an amazing education as to what's possible online. He found Amazon Prime's action thriller Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, directed by Guy Ritchie and with Jason Statham overfamiliar, although he admits that it does look very good. Lastly, he paid his tribute to Harry Belafonte.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Big tech must deliver to maintain momentum
Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the importance of the American tech stocks, once the FANGs and now MAANAM. All suffered steep price falls last year but, of the $2.4tn rebound in the S&P 500, $1.6tn has come from these six. Russ points out that the better their share prices do, the less downside protection there is. Inflation and interest rates are also a consideration to their valuation. But with no correspondingly important UK tech stocks, they're vitally important to British investors through tracker or other investment vehicles, even if they might not realise it. If their momentum is to continue, their results must deliver.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What does US interest rate rise signify for UK rates?
Victoria Scholar of Interactive Investor explains why the US Fed raised rates for the 10th time in 14 months to a 16-year-high, despite the turmoil in the American banking sector. It makes it all the more likely that the MPC will follow suit. Despite the American move, sterling is at an 11-month high against the dollar. She also looks at results from BP and Shell and discusses the major slide in oil prices.

The Hypnotist: Losing Weight is a Certainty
This episode is all about convictions — beliefs. Many people struggle with losing weight because they've tried so many ways to do so in the past, and it's just not worked. It's impossible! However beliefs can be challenged, and hypnotic consultation is a good way to turn them round, to erode that fixation and to build a new belief — that it can be done! So don't let self-fulfilling prophecies control your future: build yourself a conviction of certainty.

Thought for the Week

Thought for the Week: Reigning Forwards — or Reining Back?
As we progress through the pomp and splendour of the Coronation over the next few days, many will be asking themselves ‘what is the relevance of the monarchy in today's world?’. Will King Charles reign forward, spending the majority of his time travelling the world and building one human family in which discord can become a thing of the past? Or will he just rein back here in the United Kingdom, allowing parochial pressures for contraction to eclipse this wider opportunity?
