The Blood Countess review – Isabelle Huppert reigns supreme in a surreal vampire fantasia

-
Vienna turns into a playground of camp, cruelty and aristocratic disdain in a blackly comic take on the Báthory legend – with Huppert gloriously suited to the title role From the dark heart of central Europe comes a midnight-movie romp through the moonlit urban glades of Euro-goth and camp from German director Ulrike Ottinger. As for the star … well, it’s the part she was born to play. Isabelle Huppert is Countess Elizabeth Báthory, 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer, legendary for having the blood of hundreds of young girls on her hands and indeed her body, in an attempt to attain eternal youth. The “blood countess” has been variously played in the past by Ingrid Pitt, Delphine Seyrig, Paloma Picasso, Julie Delpy and many more, but surely none were as qualified as Huppert who importantly does not modify her habitual hauteur one iota for the role. Her natural aristocratic mien and cool hint of elegant contempt were never so well matched with a part. She gives us the ...

According To Lamar Odom, It’s Never Easy To See Khloé Kardashian On Keeping Up With The Kardashians In A Depressed State

-
The ex-NBA star commented during the launch of season 2 of The Kardashians, in which his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, 38, gave birth to their second child. When Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson welcomed their second child together, the news of his infidelity and child with Maralee Nicols broke. Odom, 42, told E! News that it was tough to see. Seeing someone, I care about so much in such distress is something I will always find difficult. Kardashian and Odom tied the knot in 2009 and divorced the following year. However, Odom has made no secret of his desire to reconcile with the Good American tycoon even though the two had been apart for quite some time. On Celebrity Big Brother, Odom promised to reach out to his ex-wife upon departure. However, Odom told a fellow houseguest, "No, I miss her so badly," when asked if he and Kardashian still keep in touch. The passage of time is something I really want to undo. In 2018, Kardashian and Thompson, both 31, became parents to 4-year-old True. Despite their inconsistent connection, they made the decision to conceive a second child via surrogate in 2021. July saw the arrival of the newborn. The delivery and fallout from Thompson's infidelity were depicted on Thursday's season 2 premiere of The Kardashians. According to Kardashian, the problem has been hanging over her head since last December. After experiencing daily bouts of depression and sadness, I can finally look forward to my baby's arrival and start living again. She felt like she could finally put the traumatic experience in the past. Then she went on; Now I may begin the process of recovery. After figuring this out, I can now appreciate my life with two children. This is the first day of the beginning of something wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

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...
