‘The emotion you get from the game is insane’: the Roy Keane bust-up film leading a new type of football movie

-
Saipan, about Keane’s infamous World Cup row with manager Mick McCarthy, has become a hit film in its native Ireland – as it opens in the UK screenwriter Paul Frasier explains how he aimed to avoid the mistakes of the past The best bit of football action in Saipan happens on a tennis court. The forthcoming movie about the schism between Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane that led to the latter departing the 2002 World Cup before it started does not attempt to recreate any of the action from the tournament. In fact, it largely takes place in a decrepit hotel. But we do get one exception: Keane, played by Éanna Hardwicke, practising alone in the grounds. At the back of a court, the sullen, spartan athlete stands as a ball is fired up and over the net towards him. He tracks it with his eyes, opens up his right foot, takes the ball on his instep and kills it dead. And with that, his sporting bona fides are confirmed. Saipan is a movie about masculinity, about men and their egos. It’s also about...

Sydney Sweeney Gets Caught In Political Controversy After She Posts About Her Mom’s Birthday

-
Sydney Sweeney is currently one of the most popular young celebrities in the industry after the massive success of HBO Max's Euphoria where she plays the role of Cassy. However, with fame comes the sharp scrutiny of the public and Sydney has recently had her first taste of it, as she posted some photos from her mom's 60th birthday. https://ift.tt/mk36Foz The photos show Sydney having the time of her life while celebrating her mom's birthday and the caption along the post read: "No better way to celebrate my momma than a surprise hoedown🤠." While the pictures were mostly adorable and looked like a great time, fans noticed that in one of the photos Sydney, her mom, and her grandmother appeared to be standing next to a man who seemed to be wearing a "blue lives matter," shirt. Social media users quickly began questioning the political affiliations of Sydney's family but Sydney was not going to have it as she took to Twitter to respond to the allegations. Sydney said the logical thing that it is insane that some random and innocent pictures of her mom's birthday have been turned into a political statement. Her exact tweet is as follows: https://twitter.com/sydney_sweeney/status/1563660155425673217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1563660155425673217%7Ctwgr%5E8bc30ab481555fae603d6ca4d11df828e5576b19%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Fcelebrity%2Fsydney-sweeney-defends-family-48930981 In the past, Sydney has actually shown vocal support for the Black Lives Matter movement, especially in 2020 when the subject was at the forefront of all discussions. At the time, Sydney tweeted her support in the following words: "We need to do better. The hate in this world needs to end. #BlackLivesMatter." Sydney has also spoken up about how much her family means to her and how their love and support actually helped her get to where she is today. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Sydney said: "And when you're 16 and you don't really like yourself, and you're trying to figure out what the hell is going on in your body and your makeup and your hormones, and people are telling you that you're not good enough — that weight is so heavy. But I had parents who, no matter what, believed in me."

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...
