Fackham Hall review – Downton Abbey spoof is fast, funny and throwaway

-
Period drama parody has some decent and often smart gags and benefits from a game cast including Damian Lewis and Thomasin McKenzie Perhaps it’s the feeling of end times in the air: after years of inactivity, spoofs are making a comeback . This summer saw the resurgence of the lighthearted genre, which at its best sends up the pretensions of overly serious genre with a barrage of pitched cliches, sight gags and stupid-clever puns. The Naked Gun , starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson in a spoof of a buddy-cop spoof, opened to moderate box office success; the hapless rock band dialed it back up to 11 in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues . Reboots of the horror spoof gold-standard Scary Movie and the Mel Brooks Star Wars rip Spaceballs were greenlit, and there were rumors of a return for international man of mystery Austin Powers. Unserious times, it seems, beget appetite for knowingly unserious, joke-dense, refreshingly shallow fun. The latest of these goofy parodies, which premi...

A Limited-Edition Release From Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty And MSCHF Featured Sachets Containing Either Ketchup Or Cosmetics

-
The 34-year-old beauty maven and the art collective MSCHF have collaborated on a limited-edition palette ($25) that includes "six sachets that each hold either ketchup or lip gloss." The latest drop split fans, who voiced their opinions in the comments area of Fenty Beauty's Instagram announcement post. One person commented, "I'm sorry, but who wants to spend $25 on ketchup packets," while another joked, "Is Rihanna still on maternity leave... who signed off?" "Are the packets reusable if it is gloss?" inquired a third. I got a lot of inquiries. Before Rihanna's eagerly anticipated ninth album, few people seemed happy to be getting more eyeliner (or condiments), with one fan remarking, "Literally everything but music." Some users were more appreciative, describing the collaboration as "cute," "very awesome," and "lowkey fire." MSCHF previously collaborated with Lil Nas X on a number of outrageous projects, including his infamous "Satan Shoes," created with "one drop of human blood," which sparked a 2021 lawsuit against Nike. As one fan suggested, Rihanna has been preoccupied with raising her young son, who she gave birth to in May, alongside rapper A$AP Rocky. With outfits ranging from vibrant vintage Chanel to completely sheer Dior, the "Umbrella" singer regularly dazzled audiences while pregnant, and her postpartum looks haven't disappointed either. The A-lister most recently wore a black satin cone bra and matching lace-up leggings for a night out at the popular restaurant Carbone, where she probably had something lot finer than french fry sauce. In a previous post, Rihanna wore a black satin cone bra ($650) and lace-up leggings ($990) from Jean Paul Gaultier's collaboration with stylist Lotta Volkova on her weekend outing in New York City with A$AP Rocky. In 1990, while she was on tour with "Blond Ambition," Madonna, of course, made Gaultier's conical bustier a phenomenon. Since then, she has worn it countless times. Over the past year, the pointed item has also been spotted on celebrities like Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kylie Jenner.

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...
