Folktales review – taking on tyranny of social media as teens learn to live like hunter-gatherers

-
In this documentary, high schoolers camp out in subzero temperatures, making their own fires and driving sledges in the wild The Pasvik Folk high school in remote northern Norway teaches teenagers to grow as young adults and escape the pressures of toxic social media by challenging them to get back in touch with their “stone age brain” and live like hunter-gatherers in the snowy wild. This is the subject of a documentary from Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. Over winter months of almost continuous darkness, the teens cleanse themselves with tasks such as camping out in subzero weather, making their own fires and driving sledges with huskies. Prior to all this of course is presumably a solemn promise to do without their phones, tablets and laptops, although there are no scenes of the kids actually having to surrender these gadgets (this isn’t rehab, after all). They have to swim in icy water; and they make it look like fun. What doesn’t look like fun is the camping out and there is one t...

Amber Heard Confirms Cut of Her Role in 'Aquaman 2'. Actress Heard says her role in Aquaman 2 was cut to 10 minutes due to controversy. 36-year-old American actress Amber Heard has confirmed that her role in the second part of the Aquaman movie was reduced to 10 minutes due to scandalous legal proceedings with her ex-husband, actor Johnny Depp. Entertainment reports. The actress admitted that she had to "fight really hard" to continue acting in Hollywood after a high-profile divorce. Heard accused Depp of creating a smear PR campaign that practically ruined her film career. The star said that she was forced into lengthy negotiations to take part in the second part of "Aquaman" as Warner Bros., which is engaged in filming the picture, wanted to completely exclude Hurd from the project. According to the actress, she ended up appearing for 10 minutes in a "very stripped down version" of the actual story planned for her character Mera in Aquaman 2. In addition, the number of advertising contracts with Hurd also decreased. In 2018, the star became a representative of the L'Oreal brand, but during the scandalous litigation, the cosmetics company practically stopped working with the artist. Answering a question about whether the actress is taking part in film projects now, Hurd replied that she starred in one film, for which she was paid 65 thousand dollars (the actress's fee for the first part of Aquaman was one million dollars). At the end of April, a petition against Heard's participation in Aquaman 2 was signed by 2.3 million people.

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...
