Hokum review – Adam Scott dour and grumpy in enjoyably eerie rural horror

-
A writer’s retreat to the remote Irish hotel in which his parents spent their honeymoon brings him face-to-face with all manner of creepy goings-on in a gruesome and eccentric black-comic shocker Adam Scott has an unexpectedly dark, unsympathetic character to play in this black-comic supernatural horror which thumps you with some pretty efficient jump scares. He plays Ohm, a successful American writer brooding over the brutally nihilistic ending to his latest novel; he is also lonely, sliding into alcoholism and clearly agonised by some unacknowledged pain in his personal life. Ohm decides the time is right to take the ashes of his dead parents – which he has kept for years – and scatter them in the one place he knows they were happy, and where he perhaps hopes to siphon off some postdated happiness for himself. This is a run-down hotel in remote, rural Ireland where his mum and dad spent their honeymoon. Arriving in this picturesque but faintly disturbing place, where he is the only...

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt showed incredible choreography at a dance school in Los Angeles

-
Daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, impressed with her talent. 16-year-old Shilo has chosen an energetic hobby: the daughter of star parents is dancing at the Millennium Dance Complex and succeeds in it. The other day, the girl's instructor, Hamilton Evans, shared a video on social networks in which Shilo dances in the company of other students to the song Lizzo About Damn Time. Throughout the two-minute dance, Jolie and Pitt's daughter energetically and diligently performs elements of the choreography without ceasing to maintain eye contact with the camera. Shilo matched the dance style with a black 'The Beatles' t-shirt, baggy pants, and burgundy Vans sneakers. According to the Daily Mail, the heiress of Jolie and Pitt is extremely talented; she has been dancing for several years and impresses not only fans but also dance school teachers with her success. Star parents are also proud of their daughter and do not interfere with her passion. Recall that 16-year-old Shiloh became the first biological child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, which is why the media has been closely following her since her pregnancy as the actress. For this reason, Shiloh was born in Namibia, where the pregnant Jolie fled from the distraught press. In a previous post, Angelina Jolie appeared in a virtual interview with Entertainment Tonight this week to discuss her new film, Ivan, the One and Only. The actress spoke about the project and shared that her 14-year-old daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was a big influence on her role. "Well, Shiloh told me years ago that she had read a book she liked and wanted me to read it," she said of the project. "I read it myself, and then we discussed the plot together and why she loved it so much. Then I started looking into whether it would be made into a movie and found out that the book was sort of in the works but not adopted yet.

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...
