The Hand That Rocks the Cradle review – serviceable 90s thriller remake

-
There are some smart updates to the psycho-nanny hit, but without the searing presence of Rebecca De Mornay, this one is unlikely to stick around for quite so long The yuppie-in-peril thriller, a multiplex mainstay throughout the late 80s and early 90s, tried to expose the vulnerabilities of our day-to-day, suggesting that danger could emerge from anyone and anywhere. It could be a co-worker (The Temp, Disclosure), a spouse (Sleeping With the Enemy, Dream Lover), a lover (Fatal Attraction, Don’t Talk to Strangers), a lodger (Pacific Heights, Single White Female), a parent (Mother’s Boys, Benefit of the Doubt), even a child (The Good Son, The Crush), a subgenre that insisted we maintain militant in spaces we’d assumed were safe. One of the era’s most creepily effective examples was Curtis Hanson’s The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, because it played on a specifically awful fear for parents – that the person you’d entrusted to protect your child had a nefarious agenda.

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 enigma of Rose Dugdale: what drove a former debutante to become Britain and Ireland’s most wanted terrorist?

-
The case of the English heiress who became an IRA bomber and art thief, even burgling her own family estate, was one of the most confounding stories of the late 20th century. Now it’s dramatised in a new film In 1958, 17-year-old Rose Dugdale was one of 1,400 young women who curtseyed before Queen Elizabeth II in the most prestigious event of the summer’s debutante season. It was the last time that the well-bred daughters of the most aristocratic and affluent families in the country would be presented to the monarch in a ritual that dated back 200 years. Princess Margaret, with characteristic hauteur, would later say: “We had to put a stop to it. Every tart in London was getting in.” For the fiercely independent Dugdale, being presented to the queen was a means to an end. She had agreed on the condition that her parents allowed her to attend the all-women St Anne’s College, Oxford, to study philosophy, politics and economics. Sixty years later she would recall the debutante season as...
