Trip from hell goes to heaven in 'What We Did on Our Holiday'
We've all heard the adage that it takes a village to raise a child, but considering the state of villages these days, it could be the other way around. A case in point is "What We Did on Our Holiday," in which three kids unwittingly cure the ill will, pretensions and animosity among the adults in their family and consequently save their parents' marriage. (Now, if only they could get around to ending world hunger and climate change.) Hats off to their performances, and directors Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, for keeping this film from plunging headlong into cutesy-land — most of the time, anyway.

David Bowie is Happening Now: 'a strange hybrid'
"David Bowie Is Happening Now" is a strange hybrid. Rather than focusing on Bowie himself, it documents an exhibition held at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in 2013 of artifacts from the singer's long and varied career. The exhibition itself was a huge success — immersive and imaginatively presented — but the film suffers from this additional degree of mediation, especially with regard to things like handwritten lyrics or costumes, which require getting up close and personal to feel that "touched by the hand of greatness" mystique.

1866 and all that: the untold early history of rugby in Japan
The history of rugby in Japan is arguably longer than that of every major rugby-playing country in the world outside of the British Isles and Australia. Very sorry France, New Zealand and South Africa! Regarding early documented rugby history, Japan wins. Until the recent discovery of an 1864 article in a Welsh newspaper, it seemed that rugby in Japan had a longer history than club rugby in Wales, too.
