Cover-Up review – atrocity exposer Seymour Hersh, journalist legend, gets a moment in the spotlight

-
Hersh’s record on uncovering the big stories, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib, speaks for itself. This documentary watches him at work: dogged, nonconformist and combative Renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was never played in a film by Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman, like the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. But as this documentary portrait argues, he’s probably more important than either. Hersh has a longer record of breaking big stories, from the My Lai massacre in Vietnam to torture by US army personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq – the latter a historic scoop underscored by the stomach-turning photos which Hersh brought to light. Hersh is asked if Abu Ghraib would have been the story it was without those pictures and replies: “No pictures, no story.” Well, maybe. But his other scoops had no pictures of this kind. One incidental thing Abu Ghraib showed was how ubiquitous digital photography became at the beginning of the century; how easy it was to take...

Announcement Of The Cast For Bachelor In Paradise

-
Some of your favorites might be coming back for another shot at love, according to ABC's announcement of the first batch of Bachelor in Paradise singles for the summertime in Mexico. Casey Woods, Romeo Alexander, and Brandon Jones from Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette, as well as Logan Palmer and Jacob Rapini from Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's season, are among the men on the original cast lineup. Michael Allio, Andrew Spencer, and Justin Glaze are three more men from Katie Thurston's season. The majority of the fresh cast is made up of women, notably Shanae Ankney, Hunter Haag, Sierra Jackson, Hailey Malles, Kira Mengistu, Genevieve Parisi, Jill Chin, Serene Russell, and Teddi Wright, who were all on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor. On the beach will also be Lace Morris from Ben Higgins' season and Brittany Galvin from Matt James' season, both of which debuted in 2016. Lace has visited Paradise before. In 2016, at the series' season 3 finale, she became engaged to Grant Kemp. In a preview for the new season, the singles talked briefly about what they hope to find in Paradise. Justin weighs in on the possibility of Paradise drama, which is sure to be rampant if season 8 is anything like previous ones. "I'm not interested in drama, so don't count on me. However, you'll catch me in the corner sipping my tea, "He claims. Hunter says, "I truly wish Shanae isn't on the beach." She is unfortunate to hear Shanae's opening line: "Look who's going to the beach?" However, not everyone considers drama or love. I heard Wells [Adams] has a heavy pour, so I'm anticipating seeing him on the beach," Lace quips. As viewers are aware, the cast of Bachelor in Paradise changes every summer. That implies that more as-yet-unnamed Bachelor Nation alums will eventually crash the party in search of romance.

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...
