Perhaps best remembered as Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, Scottish character actor Alastair Sim became a leading star of British cinema after spending five years as a lecturer of elocution at the University of Edinburgh. One of the best-loved and most prolific actors in classic British comedy, Sim, who often appeared in multiple roles, starred in more than fifty films beginning in 1935 and was both critically acclaimed and unfailingly popular, regularly topping the cinema-goers popularity polls. This April, courtesy of Film Movement Classics, classes are now back in session with ALASTAIR SIM'S SCHOOL FOR LAUGHTER, a seminal 4-disc Blu-ray collection spotlighting his most laughter-inducing film roles -- now digitally restored in HD for optimal viewing.

Rising singer, songwriter and veteran musician Tom Goss has released the passionate and evocative music video for 'Quebec' starring Mean Girls' Daniel Franzese. Check out the first look via Billboard. Filmed on location in Quebec, the single tells the story of Tom revealing to his husband he is in love with another man after learning of his husband's infidelity and opening their marriage. Devastated, the chorus recounts Tom's husband's words before he broke down, word for word: 'We are not us. There is another us to us. We are not special. We are no longer special.' The music video for 'Quebec' marks Goss and Franzese's second collaboration following the music video for 'La Bufadora,' which has been nominated for best 'Indie Music Video' at this year's Queerties.
