A Gangster’s Life review – funny in parts, but not always deliberately

-
Despite some interesting visuals, not even Tony Cook and Jonny Weldon can lift this poorly produced tale of a pair of dodgy lads hiding in Greece from a gangster Here is an odd film about a couple of dodgy lads who get on the wrong side of a bona fide gangster and have to hide out in Greece. It’s not thoughtless per se; rather, it lacks the resources to bring its vision successfully to screen. Its quirks are sometimes appealing and sometimes amateurish and, while a mixture of influences swirl about, from Bond to Kingsman to Guy Ritchie and even Mission: Impossible, the film-makers don’t have the necessary budget, meaning that it feels at times like a TikTok parody of more expensive films. It is a shame, because there are some interesting visual ideas that go beyond route one filming. Example: a goon beating a man tied to a chair on a crispy manicured lawn is filmed in a lovely wide shot, with a guy in the far distance calmly clipping the hedge. But it’s the post-production that is th...

Kylie Jenner Met An Ecstatic Admirer And Was Criticized For Her ‘Attitude’

-
Fans are criticizing reality star Kylie Jenner, for reportedly having a "poor attitude." The "Kardashians" star is receiving criticism online after a picture of her seeming unimpressed while taking a picture with an ecstatic fan viral video. On Wednesday, Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits line was officially introduced at Ulta Beauty in Los Angeles. At the step-and-repeat of the event, LA-based producer Alexa May Rhodes tweeted a TikTok video of herself approaching Jenner for a photo. Throughout the brief video, Jenner, 25, barely acknowledged Rhodes and avoided making eye contact with her. Producer Rhodes for Refinery29 posted the TikTok video, "Interviewed the one and only @kyliejenner tonight what a time," ostensibly unaware of the criticism Jenner would get from haters online. Fans were outraged by the video, which has received over 530,000 views and hundreds of comments. One user said, "She didn't look happy at all." "Not even a word, a smile, or a hug? Naaaaa" wrote another. Another person added, "You can feel how much affection she has for her followers. Another witness said, "She didn't even glance at her or acknowledge her." "No real interaction. What a loss. I would want to "win" everybody over. They literally rely on these people for assistance. What a wasted chance," someone concluded. Jenner has not yet responded to the criticism in public. The makeup tycoon's representative did not answer Page Six's inquiry for information right away. Wednesday night, the entire Kardashian crew was out in force to support Jenner's debut. For the occasion, Jenner opted for a body-hugging, button-down dress for a more polished appearance. Kim Kardashian opted for a traditional all-black Balenciaga ensemble, while Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner accompanied Kylie with identical Barbiecore pink outfits. In a previous post, Kylie Jenner responded to a TikTok troll who made fun of her infamously large lips. The reality star released a video of herself dancing with her best friend, Stassie Karanikolaou, over the weekend, and that's when everything started to happen.

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...
