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...

With Her New Lover Jute$, Demi Lovato Celebrates Her 30th Birthday

-
On August 20, the singer turned 30. To mark the milestone, she was joined by her new lover, musician Jute$. The couple was seen holding hands over the weekend at Santa Monica, California's Giorgio Baldi, a popular hangout for celebrities. In a tiny red dress, black leather jacket, fishnet stockings, and black shoes, Lovato made a statement. While her boyfriend wore a sleeveless spiked sweater and a bucket hat, the birthday lady finished her ensemble with dark sunglasses and a handbag in the same color. Jute$ (real name: Jordan Lutes) posted many pictures of the couple cuddling up earlier on Saturday as a lovely homage to the "Camp Rock" alum. "Happy birthday, little one. I'm the luckiest schmuck in the world because I get to call you mine, and you're a 30-year-old minx," he said. Because ur smile literally heals my depression, making u smile has become my current addiction (there's a song lyric in there somewhere). I'm incredibly proud of you for not just enduring what you've gone through but also for triumphing and evolving into your healthiest, happiest, and sweetest self. And you alone, sweetie. Lovato was described as more than just her "music," "singing," or "beautiful face" by the speaker. "Ur everything," said Jute$. I'm just here to help you and crack dumb jokes as necessary. "I adore you," Jute$ wrote at the end of the lengthy caption. How are you today, @ddlovato? The singer of "Sorry Not Sorry" reposted the article on her Instagram Story with the caption, "I love YOU. Thank you, darling." The adorable social media images were published only a few days after the couple dined out in public for their first time as a couple on Tuesday at New York hotspot LAVO. Page Six was informed by a source that the couple "kept to water only" and held hands as they exited the restaurant. "They were hugging and blowing kisses during their lunch," the report states.

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...
