The Thicket review – Peter Dinklage is a bounty hunter in harsh western with unusual chill

-
Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis star in a horse opera set in a snowbound world of bars, brothels and wide open spaces Here is a western starring Peter Dinklage, but forget hot sun-baked gullies and leather-skinned cowboys riding sweatily through rattlesnake country. The Thicket takes place in a hard, snowbound wilderness interspersed with equally hard, snowbound little townships consisting mainly of bars and brothels. You can see the breath in the air and the blood on the snow. The plot is staple horse opera: a kidnapped maiden must be rescued by a motley group of good-ish guys with mixed motives, headed up by Dinklage playing a bounty hunter character offering a similar vein of dry, world-weary cynicism as his breakthrough role as Tyrion in Game of Thrones, only much less aristocratic. He is joined by Gbenga Akinnagbe as his right hand man, with whom Dinklage has nice chemistry, and Levon Hawke, as a naive young Christian whose sister has been kidnapped by ruffians. The ruffians a...

A Recent Instagram Comment From Megan Fox Describes Machine Gun Kelly As Destroyably Handsome

-
After the rocker published a thirst trap on the internet, Jennifer's Body star contacted her beautiful fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, and requested him to help her become pregnant. There has never been somebody with a delicate bone structure like you on this planet. Fox, who is 36 years old, weighed in on images of the rapper, who is 32 years old, taken at the Time 100 Gala. Stunningly beautiful and exquisitely attractive. And you are 6 feet 5? Kill me or get me pregnant. Those are the only two choices available. MGK, whose actual name is Colson Baker, appeared in the images dressed as the Targaryen character from Game of Thrones. He wore a sheer, bedazzled corset, a latex shrug, and slacks, and he tied his platinum blond hair into a tight bun. The Transformers actress went to the event in New York City with MGK before she started gushing about her fiance online. But, of course, MGK was there to support her. Fox is already the mother to sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 8, and Journey, 6, all of whom she shares with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while MGK and his ex-wife Emma Cannon split custody of their daughter Cassie, who is 13 years old. And even though Fox wishes to increase the size of her family, the actress is certainly not a stranger to coping with mommy-shamers on the internet. She fired back at a social networking troll who had inquired where her children were while posting a series of racy photos to Instagram around a week ago. The troll had confronted her about the images. Wait, wait wait. I…have kids?!? She shot back at a troll who had remarked negatively on her seductive selfies. Oh my god, I knew there was something else I had forgotten!! As she continued, she yelled for someone to phone the valet at the Beverly Hills hotel immediately. My last memory of them is from when we were at that location. So it's possible that anyone brought them to the lost and found. The actress had completed her separation from Green, 49, just one month before the engagement between Fox and MGK, which took place in January.

A lot of Bollywood films have re-released off late but when it comes to Hollywood, a handful of classics have had a re-run in cinemas.

‘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...
