Chris Rock’s mother criticizes punishment for Will Smith

The mother of Chris Rock, who suffered from the attack of Will Smith at the Oscars 2022, expressed her opinion for the first time about what happened. She considered the Academy's decision to ban Smith from events for ten years insufficient. What does this even mean? They do not participate in them every year," commented Rose Rock. She also admitted that she was disappointed that Smith did not apologize to her son in person. "His people wrote an article that said, 'I apologize to Chris Rock.' But it has to be very personal. You have to do it yourself; reach out," the woman believes. According to Rose Rock, the culprit of the incident, Will Smith, simply went on about his wife. "I would tell him, 'What the hell were you thinking?' You slapped me, but so many things could have happened. Chris could step back, stumble and fall. You really could have been taken out in handcuffs. You didn't think. You reacted to your wife giving you a sideways look; you stood up and made her happy because she laughed when it happened," she remarked and added, "When you hit my baby. You hit me." Recall that Will Smith received the Academy Award this evening after the incident. She also remarked on Smith's apology and said how he has yet to reach out to Chris Rock. Finally, however, the actor turned to social media for a public apology. "I'm sorry he never apologized," Rose said. I mean, his people wrote a piece that said, 'I apologize to Chris Rock,' but you see, there's something personal about it, you get it. When he slapped Chris, he hit us all. He really hit me, Rose said. No one even heard his speech. No one could live at that point because everyone was sitting like, 'What occurred now? After the incident, she reached out to her son to check on him and compliment him on his reaction.

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...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
