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...

Kim Kardashian Acknowledges That She Has ‘Always Wanted The Public To See Me For Who I Truly Am

-
The Kardashians' renowned family appears eager to set the record straight in the most recent trailer for season 2 of the Hulu series, which the streaming service unveiled on Monday. Kim Kardashian, 41, claims, "I've always wanted the people to see who I truly am. The narrative surrounding my family and I has gotten out of control, and there is no correcting it, according to my sister Kendall Jenner, who is 26. The family's 25-year-old daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner share a high-five in the video, and the entire clan is shown posing for a photo on the red carpet at the season 1 premiere in Los Angeles in April. The 38-year-old Khloé Kardashian tells Kim, "We're built for this," towards the end of the 15-second teaser while the two sisters are riding in a car together. Matriarch Kris Jenner, 66, said she's been hiding a medical concern in a season 2 teaser released last month. Kris said, laying in a hospital bed, "I can't tell my kids I'm terrified. "They already have enough issues. Mom is not a concern for them." But Khloé said, "I don't know what's happening with you," as if she sensed something was wrong. Kim pledged to always put her family first. No matter how wild things get, she declares, "We're always going to be family." Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a popular reality series that debuted on E! in 2007, features the family as its primary cast member. In September 2020, the ladies revealed that KUWTK would terminate, and three months later, in December 2020, they struck a multi-year agreement to "produce global programming" that will broadcast exclusively on Hulu in the United States and in a number of foreign countries. June 2021 marked the end of KUWTK after 20 seasons. The series finale was followed by a two-part reunion special hosted by Andy Cohen.

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...
