Animol review – gritty young offenders drama challenges conventional machismo

-
Institutional menace and an idealistic take on redemption sit side-by-side in Top Boy actor Ashley Walters’ empathic and occasionally over-earnest film The lawless brutality of a young offender institution is the setting for this British movie written by Marching Powder ’s Nick Love and directed by Ashley Walters. It’s a place where terrified newbies realise they can survive only by abandoning their innocence and decency, and submitting to the gang authority of a psycho top G, naturally involving a horrible loyalty test. This is a place where drugs arrive by drone, where facially tattooed men meet each other’s gaze with a cool opaque challenge in the canteen, and where the cues and balls on the recreation area’s pool table have only one purpose: to give someone a three-month stay in the hospital wing while underpaid guards in lanyards and ill-fitting v-neck jumpers look the other way.

Khloé Kardashian’s Mom, Kris Jenner, Says It’s Tough To See Her Daughter In Pain

-
Khloé Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have broken their silence on the controversy surrounding the birth of her second child with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Hulu released a teaser video for season 2 of The Kardashians on Tuesday, in which Jenner talks about seeing her daughter, 38, struggle as Kardashian talks about the news that she and Thompson are expecting another child. A clip of the Good American co-founder said, "There is something that I'm ready to talk about," emerged online. A new member of our family is on the way thanks to Tristan and I. In reality, it's a very unique experience even though this is the time of your life when you should be feeling the most excitement. Jenner, 66, expressed her distress in a confessional video by saying that seeing Khloé in anguish is difficult. At the end of the video, Kardashian said, "This has been a rough moment in my life, but it's the beginning of something good, happy, and beautiful." Kardashian, 30, and Thompson, 31, have been together since 2016 and are parents to 1-year-old True Thompson. In June of 2021, they had a falling out but reconciled. This past January, Kardashian officially canceled her engagement to the NBA player. In the same month, Thompson posted on his Instagram Story, "I take full responsibility for my acts," confirming he had fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. Now that we know who the father is, we can raise our son together without any tension. I want to openly and personally apologize to everyone I've offended or disappointed during this journey, he continued. Thompson also mentioned his then-girlfriend Kardashian in his message, confirming Nichols's claim that the couple's child was conceived when they were together. Khloé wrote, you don't deserve this. You are not worthy of the pain and shame I have brought upon you. You haven't deserved my treatment throughout the years, and I apologize.

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...
