Streaming: Steven Soderbergh’s Presence and the best haunted house films

-
The director’s witty supernatural thriller joins Psycho, Hereditary, The Brutalist and more – films in which buildings are characters in their own right The first more-or-less horror movie in the lengthy, genre-skimming career of director Steven Soderbergh , Presence is a film about grief, trauma, familial dysfunction and abusive masculinity. But it’s also, to a significant and compelling extent, about property. Beginning with a family’s first viewing of a handsome Victorian home in an unidentified stretch of suburbia, the film never ventures outside its walls for the next 85 minutes, as the ensuing chills make us consider the merits of that purchase. Wittily and unnervingly shot from the perspective of the restless spirit roaming its halls, it’s a haunted house film in which much of the tension feels determined by the shape and flow and light and shade of the house itself. It’s a while since I’ve seen a film where I could quite so exactly draw the floor plan of its primary location,...

According To Reports, Gisele Bündchen Issued An Ultimatum To Tom Brady Regarding Their Marriage

-
According to reports, Gisele Bündchen issued an ultimatum to Tom Brady that could have disastrous consequences for their marriage. The insider told Us Weekly on Thursday that Gisele had warned Tom that he needed to quit football and spend more time with the family, or she would leave him forever. She worries about him getting hurt too often and being robbed of future happiness. She's making this sacrifice for the sake of her kids. Both Bündchen's and Brady's representatives have yet to respond to Page Six's inquiry for information. The NFL has gotten in the way of a relationship before, too. In September, Page Six said that the supermodel, age 42, and quarterback, age 45, had a huge dispute over his decision to come out of retirement and play football again. An insider revealed at the time that Gisele had always been the primary caregiver in the family. It was previously decided that he would retire to devote more time to his family, but he later changed his mind. In addition to his 15-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, Brady and Bündchen are parents to 14-year-old son Benjamin and 9-year-old daughter Vivian. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers great unexpectedly came out of retirement after only 40 days this year. I've learned a lot about myself over the past two months, and it hasn't been in the stands, he tweeted in March. There will eventually be that time. However, now is not the time. In addition to my wonderful family, I have a wonderful group of teammates. They're the ones who make it all work. My 23rd season in Tampa. There's some stuff left over from last time. We previously reported that as their marriage deteriorated, both Bündchen and Brady consulted with divorce attorneys. Then the ex-Secret Victoria's model was spotted without her wedding band, adding fuel to the rumors that she had already called it quits on her marriage.

‘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 Human Surge 3 review – hopeful odyssey of globe-trotting twentysomethings

-
Eduardo Williams’ opaque sequel follows a group of twentysomethings in Sri Lanka, Peru and Taiwan with a 360-degree VR camera Following his Locarno festival-winning experimental film The Human Surge in 2016 , Argentinian director Eduardo Williams apparently couldn’t be bothered with part two – which doesn’t exist – and skips straight to number three. That’s also the opaque MO with which he operates in this similarly continent-hopping odyssey; a bleary trail of hopeful and restless peregrinations and chat from three groups of twentysomethings in Sri Lanka, Peru and Taiwan, who often stray without warning into each other’s segments while declaring things like: “I want to see maps of nearby regions and listen to the dreams of my crazy friends.” Filmed with a 360-degree VR camera that orbits around these pilgrims, a full-blown digital-age existential crisis seems to be in force here. People bemoan bullshit jobs, parse language disparities, contemplate post-tsunami building methods in Sri...
