Dreamin’ Wild review – Walton Goggins and Casey Affleck star as rediscovered 70s rockers

-
Goggins and Affleck play Donnie and Joe Emerson, whose album wins acclaim decades after it was made, but it’s rather a mono drama Newcomer-fans of Walton Goggins, sharing gifs of his stunned expression in The White Lotus, might want a look at this interesting but flawed movie: a heartfelt but frustratingly ponderous true-life story from the music world in which Goggins stars with Casey Affleck. Donnie and Joe Emerson were two brothers from Washington State who self-recorded an album in their teen years in 1978 called Dreamin’ Wild; it bombed, leaving crippling debts for their poor dad (played by Beau Bridges), who’d taken out bank loans to build them a log-cabin recording studio – but the record is then rediscovered 30 years later by vinyl hipster connoisseurs who can hardly believe the Emerson boys’ untutored rock genius. The film insightfully shows how this deferred fame is not all good news; it has come too late for them really to enjoy it and Donnie (Affleck) has grown into a pri...

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.

A lot of Bollywood films have re-released off late but when it comes to Hollywood, a handful of classics have had a re-run in cinemas.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
