We Bury the Dead review – Daisy Ridley tackles the undead in solid zombie twist

-
Star Wars alum gives an impressively modest performance in this slightly smarter-than-average survival tale Unlike some other less resilient horror subgenres, the zombie movie is, fittingly, never going to really die. Neither will film-makers attempting to add their own twist, understandable given how repetitive the die, wake up, lumber, bite and repeat formula has become. Australian director Zak Hilditch’s attempt, the rather buried We Bury the Dead, is therefore not quite as striking as it might have seemed a decade and change ago. Using words such as “contemplative” and “mournful” to describe a film that includes its fair share of gnarly head-smashing has become something of a cliche, so much so that last month’s meta-comedy Anaconda reboot had its characters joke that these days, even a film about a giant snake needs “intergenerational trauma” to work. But Hilditch mercifully avoids drowning his film in drab self-seriousness. Yes, it’s a zombie survival thriller that’s also abo...

Warner Bros. continues to cooperate with Ezra Miller after his arrests

-
In early April, rumors surfaced that Warner Bros. may terminate cooperation with Ezra Miller. And all because of an incident that occurred in a Hawaiian bar. It turns out that the actor went overboard and began to rage: he was arrested after he took away the microphone from a woman singing in karaoke and also attacked a man who played darts. The case was quickly settled, and Miller was released after paying $500 bail. However, Hollywood studios immediately drew attention to this episode. Then, in a number of foreign media, information appeared that after the incident with Ezra, Warner Bros. and DC leaders met at an unscheduled meeting. They had to talk about the further career of the actor. According to insiders, management discussed the possibility of pausing all projects in which Miller is involved. At the same time, officially, Warner Bros. never commented on the situation. However, insiders were sure that the studio would still refuse to cooperate with Ezra. Miller's adventures did not end there. On April 19, the actor again took up the old: he came to visit a friend and again began to commit excesses. However, this time it turned out to be much more serious. When a friend of Ezra asked the artist to leave the house, he threw a chair at one of the girls in the room. As a result, the victim received a head injury. Moreover, there was another one between these two cases - and again in Hawaii. Miller broke into the couple's home, threatened them, and even stole several personal items. However, despite a whole series of troubles, the leadership of Warner Bros. does not plan to terminate the contract with the unbelted actor. At least, such information was at the disposal of Deadline. Insiders said that the company's management is not too worried about Miller's behavior because he is no longer going to appear in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, and The Flash will not be shown in theaters until June 2023. However, the superhero film is still in development, and the studio has no plans to cancel its release or move it to HBO Max.

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...
