Cover-Up review – atrocity exposer Seymour Hersh, journalist legend, gets a moment in the spotlight

-
Hersh’s record on uncovering the big stories, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib, speaks for itself. This documentary watches him at work: dogged, nonconformist and combative Renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was never played in a film by Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman, like the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. But as this documentary portrait argues, he’s probably more important than either. Hersh has a longer record of breaking big stories, from the My Lai massacre in Vietnam to torture by US army personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq – the latter a historic scoop underscored by the stomach-turning photos which Hersh brought to light. Hersh is asked if Abu Ghraib would have been the story it was without those pictures and replies: “No pictures, no story.” Well, maybe. But his other scoops had no pictures of this kind. One incidental thing Abu Ghraib showed was how ubiquitous digital photography became at the beginning of the century; how easy it was to take...

In Her Remarks, Khloé Kardashian Mentioned The Boy She Had With Tristan Thompson

-
Khloé Kardashian discussed her kid with Tristan Thompson for the first time since it was revealed that he was born via surrogate. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" actress, 38, described her daughter True, 4, and her newborn boy in an Elle story that was released on Tuesday. "Being capable of shaping tiny people into really great big people is an honor and a blessing," she said. She admitted that she loved everything, even the challenging aspects of motherhood. Although it's quite frightful, I take my work very seriously. Given how easily accessible children are today and how much info they are introduced to at such a young age, we must take those duties seriously. One month before the reality star, 38, learned that the sportsman, 31, had an affair with Maralee Nichols and fathered a baby called Theo, Kardashian, and Thompson delivered their son through surrogacy in November 2021. While Kardashian hid the information about her growing family, it was revealed on July 13 that she had a son. According to her agent, Khloé is very appreciative of the incredible surrogate for such a lovely surprise, Page Six said at the time. In order for Khloé to concentrate on her family, we kindly request that you respect your privacy. The pair were already expecting a child when the controversy broke, the insider continued, adding that they had not reconciled. Khloé simply said, "I'm going to perform it by myself," at that point. Kardashian and Thompson's turbulent affair has been shaken by many infidelity rumors ever since they started dating in 2016. The author of "Strong Looks Better Naked" made it clear after Thompson's paternity crisis last year that the NBA player is "not the person for" her. In a conversation with Robin Roberts in April, she recalled feeling "very safe in the beginning, and I felt pretty fantastic for a period."

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...
