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 ...

Victoria Is Mocked By David Beckham While Performing Karaoke

-
For 23 years, Victoria and David Beckham have been wed. Their shared sense of humor is just one factor in their successful marriage. The duo enjoys pulling practical jokes on one another and making one other laugh. The family is currently enjoying a great time unwinding on a yacht in France with their kids. The pair partied on board the ship the day before. Victoria made the decision to reminisce about the past and performed karaoke while holding a microphone. The former England national team footballer assured the supporters that he would not, however, be turned off. Posh Spice belts out a tune into a muffled microphone. The night's final song is exclusively for me, David laughed. Victoria was misunderstood, but she didn't seem at all embarrassed, and she kept on singing and dancing. In addition to the couple's supporters, Victoria herself enjoyed the joke when she commented on her husband's video and acknowledged that she had performed for him. It was written, "Just for you." Victoria continued by saying that David, whom she married in 1999, concurred with Harper's observation that her Posh attire "was just too short." She was "very disgusted at how short my skirts were," Victoria remembered to the source. Victoria and her husband are the parents of Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17, as well. Are you ever going to wear skirts like that? I asked. Absolutely not,' Harper replied. In a previous post, Speaking into a hushed microphone, Posh Spice sings. David jokingly said, "The night's final song is exclusively for me. Victoria Beckham rarely allows herself to unwind because of her extremely demanding work schedule. Even the most devoted workaholics, nevertheless, need time to unwind. The designer postponed the cases and took her family on vacation to Italy. The other day, in Sardinia, the paparazzi captured Victoria and her husband David aboard a luxury yacht that costs roughly $2 million a week to rent. The 48-year-old Victoria was captured by photographers in a bikini, and the celebrity looked stunning.

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...
