‘Suspension of entry into the US’, paparazzi – and wine: three other reasons George Clooney moved to France

-
A UK government warning that Amal Clooney risks US sanctions over her role in the issuing of an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister is key among reasons the couple have sought French citizenship The exodus from Hollywood to shores not presided over by Donald Trump has been busy and loud. Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Wright and Courtney Love moved to England; Rosie O’Donnell opted for Ireland; Eva Longoria, Spain. Other Trump critics, including Richard Gere, Lena Dunham and Ryan Gosling, have upped sticks without citing the re-election as a motivating factor. In the case of Clooney, however, there has appeared little doubt that his decision to gain French citizenship was primarily because of Trump, whose re-election he energetically campaigned against. Yet amid the heat and headlines generated by the pair’s war of words, some of the actor’s reasons for relocating may have flown under the radar.

Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ accepts a five-minute standing ovation at Cannes

-
Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' accepts a five-minute standing ovation at Cannes Even before the final scene kicked off at the Cannes premiere of Top Gun: Maverick on Wednesday night, festival-goers made it clear they thought Tom Cruise was great. The actor received a standing ovation after he was awarded the "surprise" Palme d'Or, which seemed to really take him by surprise. And he received another round of applause after he delivered some energetic opening remarks. At that moment, eight fighter planes flew over the coast, which painted the sky in red, white, and blue, symbolizing the colors of the French and American flags. It was the culmination of a day dedicated to the glory of Tom Cruise. It is worth noting that both Tom himself and the audience have been waiting for this holiday for a very long time. Top Gun: Maverick was supposed to debut in 2019. But first, Cruise wanted to work hard on the special effects and moved the premiere to 2020, and then the pandemic hit, which disrupted the plans of many companies. "It's an incredible evening and an incredible time just to see everyone's faces," Cruise said at Cannes. "It's been 36 years since the first Top Gun, and we had to wait years for it because of the pandemic ." Cruise then called the cast, The audience of the festival oohed and aahed during the show of tricks, applauded, and laughed. And when Val Kilmer, who plays Cruise's nemesis Iceman in the film, appeared on stage with Tom, it was followed by a five-minute standing ovation.

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...
