Al Djanat: The Original Paradise review – striking account of Burkina Faso homecoming

-
Chloé Aïcha Boro’s watchful documentary charts the disharmony and legal wrangling caused by a dispute in her family over sacred burial land Economic and financial woes cast a dark shadow over family bonds in Chloé Aïcha Boro’s contemplative, searching documentary. Returning to her Burkina Faso village after decades of living in France, Boro experiences an emotional paradox intimately known by all immigrants. Once-familiar places turn foreign, since the migrator has undergone huge internal changes of their own. And with the recent passing of her uncle Ousmane Coulibaly, the head of her extended Muslim family, Boro’s homecoming is marred by disharmony. Between Coulibaly’s brothers and his 19 children, warring interests over inherited land rage on. The film returns time and again to a sacred courtyard where, for centuries, the umbilical cords of Coulibaly newborns have been buried to ensure their ascendence to heaven in the afterlife. More than a ritual, the tradition concretises the li...

After The Shooting For Rust, Alec Baldwin Has Stated That His Family Is What Kept Him Alive

-
After the aftermath of the accidental shooting that occurred on the set of "Rust" in October 2021, Alec Baldwin expressed his gratitude to his family for keeping him alive over the last year. The former star of "30 Rock," who recently welcomed his seventh kid with wife Hilaria Baldwin, made a passing reference to the disaster in an Instagram post he published on Monday. He is 64 years old. Over the past year, my heart has been crushed a thousand times. In the spinning post's description, Alec said, "things in my life may never be the same again." There will be a great deal of transition. But it was my family that made sure I didn't pass away. They are the reason I get out of bed every morning. And also @hilariabaldwin, he said, perhaps referring to the report that he may be subject to criminal charges in connection with the incident. In Alec's post, there were multiple photographs of his growing family, including his nine-year-old daughter Carmen, his seven-year-old son Rafael, his five-year-old son Leonardo, his four-year-old son Romeo, and his one-year-old daughter Lucia. These young people. They were all born in the year 212. Same hospital. The first four in this room together. He said the last three were in the same building but in a different room. The actor also reshared a message first published by his wife, in which they posted the joyous news that they had welcomed a new member to the Baldwinito family in the form of a girl called Ilaria Catalina Irena. She has arrived! Our little dream has finally come true, and we can't wait to share it with you... We are both contents and in good physical shape. Her Baldwinito siblings devote the day to getting to know her better and making her feel at home in our family. Hilaria, age 38, is the author. A lot of love to each of you. We are delighted to share this fantastic news with you, and we can't wait to do so. Even if the birth of Ilaria puts Hilaria into a mom of seven, Alec Baldwin is now a father of eight because he shares custody of his daughter Ireland Baldwin, who is 26 years old, with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
