Is Warfare the most realistic war film ever made?

-
In Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s brutal and immersive new film, memory informs the events that take place in real time to a unit of soldiers in Iraq Warfare , Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s assiduous new film on a single episode of the American war in Iraq, opens with a title card typical to a war picture: date, location, barebones summary – 11 November 2006, in Ramadi, Iraq. Navy SEAL team alpha one is supporting Marines in insurgents’ territory. And then one final, unusual detail in place of the standard “based on a true story” – “This film uses only their memories.” The “only” is an ominous indicator: this is a film working against the Hollywood tide to gloss, simplify or narrativize. Warfare, based primarily on Mendoza’s memories of that day as a former SEAL, as well as those of fellow soldiers and civilians present, is as much an experiment of translation as a cinematic achievement, a movie defined by both what it shows and what it does not. Much of the press surrounding Warfar...

For A Whole Foods Run In The Sweltering Heat Of New York City, Rihanna Wore Blue Shorts And A Large Coat

-
The way Rihanna looked when pregnant was frequently raunchy, vibrant, and bold. Despite being pregnant, the singer continued to go out and garner attention. After the kid was born, the celebrity could no longer afford to travel frequently, but she also did not stay at home to raise the child. Her love of fashion didn't go anywhere after the birth of her kid. Regarding the fashion sector, RiRi is still exhaling unevenly. She was spotted walking in New York with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky the night before the paparazzi arrived. The musician made an outing wearing a pair of the extremely short yellow T-shirt over black Adidas biking shorts. She finished off her ensemble with an oversized blue blazer and white Adidas shoes. Rihanna attempted to blend in by donning a baseball cap, but the bodyguard, who stayed with the couple, exposed them as problematic individuals. According to insiders, Rihanna is currently savoring parenthood and making the most of her time with her son. "Rihanna's okay. She and A$AP Rocky are very eager to start a family. Already a wonderful mother, Rihanna, the source claimed. The couple has not yet revealed the existence of the kid to the outer world and continues to keep it a secret. They do not want to display the child to the public as many famous people do. Rocky and Rihanna have also been silent on Rocky's legal issues. This week's trips occur three months after Rocky was unexpectedly detained at LAX in connection with a shooting that occurred in November 2021 and later freed on bond. When Rihanna was still pregnant, a source told Entertainment Tonight that the arrest caught her off guard. The source claimed that Rihanna made it a point to handle the public aspect of her pregnancy on her own terms and that now suddenly, things seem beyond her control.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
