Staying in with the old: the best films to watch on New Year’s Eve

-
For those not going out to celebrate, you can still party with Harry and Sally, play cards with Jack Lemmon and make merry hell at the Overlook Hotel At the end of any especially troublesome year it’s always good to revisit The Apartment, Billy Wilder’s brilliantly bleak comedy of office politics and festive bad cheer. It memorably ends on the stroke of midnight as heartsick Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) abandons a drunken new year’s party to be with hapless, jobless CC Baxter (Jack Lemmon) instead. Is The Apartment suggesting that Kubelik and Baxter then live happily ever after? Probably not, because I’ve never been convinced that these two lovers are going to stay the course. They’re too mismatched and desperate; their wounds are still too fresh. What the ending gives us is the next best thing: a sudden sense of hope and freedom, with everything packed in boxes except for a bottle, two glasses and a deck of cards. Nothing to lose and nowhere to go. “Shut up and deal.” A clean brea...

The Hardest Thing I’ve Had To Do, According To Rachel Recchia, Is When She Goes On Homecoming Dates

-
Since there were two times as many hometown dates as Bachelorettes, they weren't even all able to be included in one show. This week, Gabby Windey returned home with Erich, Jason, and Johnny, and Rachel Recchia toured the homes of Tino, Tyler, and Zach in preparation for Aven's hometown date the following week. First, 31-year-old Gabby went to New Orleans to meet Jason's family. They chose some beads to toss at onlookers from a balcony while they danced in the street to live jazz music. Jason, 30, stated that he felt like they always had a great time together. At a park, Jason presented Gabby to his father, Michael, who praised him as "a nice kid, a good man," and welcomed her. In a private conversation, Michael said to Jason, "You've been beaming nonstop, and I've been so thrilled that I could be a part of it." "You have my complete and unwavering support at all times. I'd like to serve as your best man if it's the actual deal." Jason was grateful that his father believed in their friendship with Gabby. Jason informed the cameras, "It means everything to me that my dad has assured me that he will back me in whatever decision I choose. "I'll never forget it; it's a beautiful moment." Before Jason invited Gabby to meet his mother, his sister, and her boyfriend, the three of them had some beignets together. Karen, Gabby's mother, greeted her by saying, "You are so beautiful. Jason described how the procedure first made him feel overpowered in his remarks to the group. He admitted to his loved ones that for the first two weeks, he was so overwhelmed that he almost left. Then, we started to connect on a real level. When Kelsey, Jason's sister, overheard the conversation, Gabby questioned her if she believed her brother was prepared for a committed relationship.

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...
