The Blood Countess review – Isabelle Huppert reigns supreme in a surreal vampire fantasia

-
Vienna turns into a playground of camp, cruelty and aristocratic disdain in a blackly comic take on the Báthory legend – with Huppert gloriously suited to the title role From the dark heart of central Europe comes a midnight-movie romp through the moonlit urban glades of Euro-goth and camp from German director Ulrike Ottinger. As for the star … well, it’s the part she was born to play. Isabelle Huppert is Countess Elizabeth Báthory, 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer, legendary for having the blood of hundreds of young girls on her hands and indeed her body, in an attempt to attain eternal youth. The “blood countess” has been variously played in the past by Ingrid Pitt, Delphine Seyrig, Paloma Picasso, Julie Delpy and many more, but surely none were as qualified as Huppert who importantly does not modify her habitual hauteur one iota for the role. Her natural aristocratic mien and cool hint of elegant contempt were never so well matched with a part. She gives us the ...

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...
