The Morrigan review – spirit of pagan demon queen unleashed in Irish burial chamber horror

-
Archaeologists blunder into an ancient and unwittingly release a vengeful monster – with predictable and conventional results In Irish folklore, the Morrígan is a powerful goddess of death and war. This horror movie imagines her as an actual historical figure: a pagan queen massacred with her followers by Christians. A quick scene at the start of the film shows the dirty deed. The Morrígan’s rage against misogyny has screamed down through the centuries – so it’s a shame the film frames her not as a feminist icon but a highly conventional horror movie nemesis; a malign vengeful female to be crushed and destroyed. There is nothing to punch the air about in the end. Saffron Burrows plays an archaeologist called Fiona who has been repeatedly passed over for tenure at her US university. When Fiona presents her radical theory that the myth of the Morrígan may have a basis in real life, her slippery colleague Jonathan (Jonathan Forbes) is made the lead on the dig. Fiona is forced to bring al...

For The First Time Since The Shocking Allegations Were Made Public, Sergey Brin Was Spotted With An Unknown Blonde Woman

-
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Nicole Shanahan's affair with Elon Musk was the cause of Sergey Brin's second marriage disintegrating, which is the current focus of all public attention on his personal life. The magazine's representatives said they could verify the authenticity of the insiders' claims despite the Tesla owner's assertions that he had nothing to do with the businessman's divorce. Perhaps that is why Brin chose to distract himself from the controversial news reports by spending time with a new girl. This was made public because the paparazzi caught Sergei leaving a California restaurant with an enigmatic stranger. According to the images posted on the Daily Mail website, the businessman and his buddy escaped from reporters after dinner by driving off in the businessman's automobile. The fact that the millionaire was traveling in a Tesla is notable. Recall that the world's richest man shared a picture of him having fun with Brin after the WSJ reported on the affair between Musk and Sergey's ex-wife. Elon asserts that his interactions with Shanahan were only cordial. Nicole didn't keep quiet. Make no mistake, said the ex-lover of the businessman's attorneys to reporters. Any rumors about Nicole having an affair with Elon Musk are slanderous in addition to being outright lies. The inventor of Google, Sergey, asked for a divorce in January, claiming irreconcilable differences as the cause of their separation. The couple has a 4-year-old daughter together. However, the world's richest man vehemently denies having ever been romantically involved with Shanahan, which is said to have occurred while the marriage was divorcing last fall. On Monday morning, Musk mocked The Wall Street Journal's investigations editor by posting a picture of himself having fun with Sergey Brin the day before to refute the article's explosive accusation.

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...
