Fackham Hall review – Downton Abbey spoof is fast, funny and throwaway

-
Period drama parody has some decent and often smart gags and benefits from a game cast including Damian Lewis and Thomasin McKenzie Perhaps it’s the feeling of end times in the air: after years of inactivity, spoofs are making a comeback . This summer saw the resurgence of the lighthearted genre, which at its best sends up the pretensions of overly serious genre with a barrage of pitched cliches, sight gags and stupid-clever puns. The Naked Gun , starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson in a spoof of a buddy-cop spoof, opened to moderate box office success; the hapless rock band dialed it back up to 11 in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues . Reboots of the horror spoof gold-standard Scary Movie and the Mel Brooks Star Wars rip Spaceballs were greenlit, and there were rumors of a return for international man of mystery Austin Powers. Unserious times, it seems, beget appetite for knowingly unserious, joke-dense, refreshingly shallow fun. The latest of these goofy parodies, which premi...

Zack Snyder’s Justice League wins an Oscar thanks to the public

-
The feature film won an Oscar for "Audience Favorite Moment" on Spider-Man: No way Home and Avengers: Endgame. Zack Snyder's Justice League has become a timeless movie. Since before its "birth," it was already a work that fans were crying out for from the very moment that Joss Whedon released his version of the film in 2017 after the person's departure in charge of Watchmen due to personal and family reasons. The DC Comics universe may have decided to reboot into the cinematic realm, but it's clear that Snyder's stamp is eternal. This year the audience at the 2022 Oscars was allowed to participate with a couple of prizes, and Snyder has been postulated as a filmmaker extremely loved by the stalls since both Army of the Dead and his Justice League have taken a statuette. The first is the most popular film, and the second receives the "Audience Favorite Moment" award for showing Flash's speed in the final stages of the film. That Flash moment has surpassed the meeting of the three Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the moment in which the Avengers meet to finish off Thanos in Endgame, one of the most relevant films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The most voted moments were the following: The Matrix (1999) - Neo dodging bullets Dreamgirls (2006) - Effie White singing "I'm Telling You." Avengers: Endgame (2019) - The Avengers unite to defeat Thanos Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland together. Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - Flash displays his maximum speed. Zack Snyder's stamp remains unique in the industry, and he is one of the few filmmakers who has a gigantic wave of haters and, at the same time, followers. His next project, Rebel Moon, will be released in 2023. The 2022 Oscars, as you well know, have been overshadowed by a slap that Will Smith has given to Chris Rock after the comic made a joke regarding the alopecia suffered by the wife of the protagonist of The Prince Bel-Air. The networks have caught fire, and the reasons why Smith reacted in this way have even been sought (the actor's support has had from other colleagues after starring at that moment has even been detailed ). It seems that Rock, for now, will not denounce Smith for the slap, but it is clear that the actor's career is now in check.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
