Shadows of Willow Cabin review – secrets fester beneath horny hookup in low budget horror

-
Two men’s romantic getaway turns creepy in a talky elevated chiller about escaping the binds of the past The best elevated horror makes a metaphor out of its writhing emotional subtext, but writer-director Joe Fria sadly can’t make the leap in this low-budget debut that undoubtedly has issues on its mind: repressed homosexuality, compulsive hookups and generational trauma. For much of the film the horror elements abruptly waylay what is otherwise a fraught two-handed gay drama. After meeting on the apps, middle-aged English teacher Albert (Bryan Bellomo) and lithe paramedic Devon (John Brodsky) are finally getting cosy at Willow Cabin – the former’s childhood summer getaway, named for a line in Twelfth Night. But secrets fester beneath this ostensibly horny hookup. In Albert’s case, he has a wife and son – and this spot, which once belonged to his uncle, is where he first explored the other side of his sexuality, with his cousin. As for Devon, Albert is the latest in a long line of unf...

He’s already started mourning their relationship: Prince William can’t forgive brother Harry

-
At the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Prince William showed their strained relationship to the world. Some sources claim that the sons of Princess Diana mutually do not want to communicate with each other. Still, in fact, only one person in the royal family is against their reconciliation. A close friend of the future King of Great Britain told the Daily Mail that William is willing but unable to forgive Harry because of the pain he has brought to Prince Charles and Elizabeth II. "The discord with his brother hit William so hard that he already began to mourn their relationship. So he either mourns that he lost his brother, then he is furious at what Harry did," said the insider. "People don't understand that William, to some extent, became Harry's parent. He was the eldest, always trying to save him from the abyss. He genuinely loves Harry and feels like he's lost the only person who understood their strange life in the palace. But he believes that there are things that simply cannot be done. And Harry 100% crossed that line," he added. Asked if William plans to reconnect with Harry, the anonymous person said: "It's hard to answer. The truth is, they need to find common ground again. But for this, both must admit their guilt and it is pretty evident that one of them categorically refuses to do this. Some members of William's circle say he is "protecting" his younger brother and "will always keep the door open for him." One said: 'Harry has always had concerns about life within the royal family and the pressure that was put on him and William to live and work together because some kind of dynamic couple had their relationship. But there was a lot of stress. They had no place to breathe. But Meghan complicated it.

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...
