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...

Jennifer Lopez’s Flawless Curves In A Sexy Slit Swimsuit Captured Fans’ Attention

-
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married last week in front of everyone, and she even got a new last name. Even still, fans are delighted that the singer continues to participate in candid photo shoots despite her new status as the actor's wife. The musician just unveiled a little teaser campaign for her beauty line, JLo Beauty. Jennifer made a suggestion that customers are anticipating a new product. Additionally, it will reportedly be built for the body because it was the target of the shooting. Internet surfers, however, nearly completely ignored the announcement. They were preoccupied admiring Lopez's gorgeous physique. And we comprehend them completely. Jennifer appears in the shot wearing a really sultry, cut-out, black swimsuit. The attire highlighted the celebrity's steel press and steep hips once more. Lopez is a living reminder that practically any woman may look as good at her age. "The perfect advertisement," "Just a goddess," and "Ideal woman." To be completely honest, I have no idea what it promotes. In response to the film, enthusiastic viewers write things like, "But I immediately want to buy," "How much time do you have to spend in the gym to look like this," and "Too flawless to be true." The new lines were briefly mentioned in a previous promotional Instagram post from the cosmetics brand. JLo Body, a brand of high-performance skincare for the body with clinical support, "delivers visible results and unrestricted confidence." Jennifer is passionate about everything related to beauty and about making products for customers all over the world. "This is my business. I built this completely from the ground up. The celebrity said in a video on her personal YouTube website, "This is my baby." She has been able to develop goods thanks to her work in the profession and the opportunities she has had to interact with and learn from many makeup artists.

‘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...
