Purr-fect casting: is Orangey the most important movie cat ever?

-
A new retrospective celebrates the work of the cat credited with roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Comedy of Terrors and Rhubarb In the midst of Oscar season, it becomes evident just how much work it takes to win an Academy Award, both in on-screen work and off-screen campaigning. Consider, however, that multiple actors have won more than one Oscar. (Emma Stone, one of this year’s best actress nominees, won twice in the past decade.) Only a single cat, meanwhile, has twice won the Patsy – the Picture Animal Top Star of the Year. (The award, given by the American Humane Association, not to be confused with the Humane Society, was discontinued in 1986.) That cat is Orangey, the subject of a small retrospective at New York City’s Metrograph cinema. Plenty of rep houses will play a movie like Breakfast at Tiffany’s around Valentine’s Day; the Metrograph is going deeper into the Orangey catalogue for a wider variety of titles and genres. Breakfast at Tiffany’s does offer Orangey his mo...

David Bowie’s megayacht is on sale for $5.17 million

-
David Bowie's megayacht is on sale for $5.17 million. The yacht owned by British singer David Bowie is up for sale. It is reported by the New York Post. According to the representative of the performer and his longtime friend Bill Zisblat, Bowie owned the vessel, built-in 1977, in the 80s of the last century. The yacht, which could accommodate up to 12 guests, was designed and built by the Italian shipbuilder Benetti. Its interior is decorated with mahogany, decorated with paintings, and art installations. The yacht made voyages in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean: the singer, who suffered from aerophobia, preferred to travel by sea. However, when the singer overcame his fear of airplanes, he sold the yacht. After Bowie, she was owned by two people who changed the ship's name from Deneb Star to El Caran. In 2020 the yacht was refitted. She was repainted and put on a new teak deck. She recently rented out for $85,000 a week. After the singer's death in 2016, 400 works of art from his personal collection and the singer's home were put up for sale last summer for $16.5 million. A megayacht owned by the late glam rock icon David Bowie is set to sell for $ 5.17 million (excluding Mars spiders). The ship dated back to 1977 - and was owned by Bowie's representative and longtime friend Bill Zysblat in the 1980s. Bowie, who died in 2016, was known for his fear of flying - he admitted in an interview that his phobia led to several successful films, including "Space Odyssey." "It just allows me to write about space instead of going into it," he said in a 60-minute interview in 2002.

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...
