Staying in with the old: the best films to watch on New Year’s Eve

-
For those not going out to celebrate, you can still party with Harry and Sally, play cards with Jack Lemmon and make merry hell at the Overlook Hotel At the end of any especially troublesome year it’s always good to revisit The Apartment, Billy Wilder’s brilliantly bleak comedy of office politics and festive bad cheer. It memorably ends on the stroke of midnight as heartsick Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) abandons a drunken new year’s party to be with hapless, jobless CC Baxter (Jack Lemmon) instead. Is The Apartment suggesting that Kubelik and Baxter then live happily ever after? Probably not, because I’ve never been convinced that these two lovers are going to stay the course. They’re too mismatched and desperate; their wounds are still too fresh. What the ending gives us is the next best thing: a sudden sense of hope and freedom, with everything packed in boxes except for a bottle, two glasses and a deck of cards. Nothing to lose and nowhere to go. “Shut up and deal.” A clean brea...

Khloe Kardashian finally forgot the cheater Tristan Thompson and started a new romance

-
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's relationship was cracked when the reality TV star was pregnant with True's first child. Then extremely eloquent photos of an athlete who had fun in a nightclub in the company of a mysterious stranger scattered across the Web. True, Kim and Courtney's sister did not dare then to leave the father of her child, giving him a second chance. However, he did not use them. Over the past few years, the paparazzi caught Tristan in the company of his family, then with another beauty. And not so long ago, a girl appeared on the Web, claiming that she became pregnant from an athlete. Thompson did not deny her words and confirmed paternity but continued to appear in Chloe's house. Internet users were genuinely afraid that Kardashian would once again forgive the cheater, but she apparently found the strength to end this relationship. The other day, People journalists talked with close friends of the reality show star. They noted that Chloe is now in the early stages of a relationship with a new boyfriend. "She feels very well but does not want to reveal the name of her lover yet," sources from the celebrity's entourage emphasized. Rumor has it that we are talking about a businessman to whom Khloe introduced Kim. Earlier, by the way, there were rumors on the Web that the younger Kardashian had an affair with another NBA athlete. But Chloe herself hastened to dispel fan speculation by answering a question about relationships on social networks. Khloe was furious at the revelation that Tristan had given birth to a baby, recently featured on The Kardashians, and was seen calling her sister Kim early in the morning on the phone. She credits her staff and the Kardashians showrunner for helping to make her comfortable enough to share such intimate moments with the world.

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...
