Wicked forever: the enduring appeal of The Wizard Of Oz

-
Musical sequel Wicked: For Good, enchanting audiences across the world, arrives as the 1939 fantasy continues to dominate pop culture Most of the biggest streaming services are notoriously neglectful of any movie released before the 1990s (and in some cases, before the turn of the millennium). Even the big theatrical nostalgia screenings are starting to creep into the 21st century, as movies that, to the older among us, don’t seem ready for a multi-decade anniversary. (Did Batman Begins really just turn 20 ?! Is Mean Girls seriously old enough to drink ?) So it’s all the more impressive that one of the hottest properties of the past few years has been ... The Wizard of Oz , a movie far closer to its 100th anniversary than its 25th. Of course, The Wizard of Oz as (shudder) intellectual property dates well before the 1939 release of the beloved MGM musical. L Frank Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz at the turn of the previous century, in 1900. It spawned 13 increasingly eccentr...

Jessica Chastain showed the easiest way to look stylish this summer

-
Jessica Chastain showed the easiest way to look stylish this summer. The 45-year-old Oscar winner is known for her sophisticated style. For a walk with her Take Shelter co-star Michael Shannon, the actress wore denim rompers with flared legs and chunky heels. The fiery red hair of the actress was neatly styled in light waves. A black backpack complemented the retro look, which seemed huge against its background of Jessica. The actors looked very harmonious, talking animatedly during an evening walk. Michael Shannon, 47, spruced up his monochromatic look with a pair of hot pink sneakers. Currently, two new films with the participation of the actress are known. The first is called "The Division," which takes place in the near-apocalyptic future, where a team of professionals is sent to save as many people as possible from a deadly virus in New York. The second film is the psychological thriller Mothers' Instinct, about friends Alice and Celine who live next door in the 1960s. Their strong and prosperous relationship begins to crumble after a tragic accident that binds the women with guilt and paranoid fear. Despite the notion that Hollywood, like men, prefers blondes, there are many red-haired sex symbols among celebrities. Today, actress Sadie Sink turned 20 years old, and on this occasion. Oscar-winning Jessica Chastain regularly makes the list of the most beautiful redhead celebrities, although she would be charming with any hair color. Jessica is the very personification of old Hollywood in all its luxury and splendor.

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...
