Fackham Hall review – Downton Abbey spoof is fast, funny and throwaway

-
Period drama parody has some decent and often smart gags and benefits from a game cast including Damian Lewis and Thomasin McKenzie Perhaps it’s the feeling of end times in the air: after years of inactivity, spoofs are making a comeback . This summer saw the resurgence of the lighthearted genre, which at its best sends up the pretensions of overly serious genre with a barrage of pitched cliches, sight gags and stupid-clever puns. The Naked Gun , starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson in a spoof of a buddy-cop spoof, opened to moderate box office success; the hapless rock band dialed it back up to 11 in Spinal Tap II: The End Continues . Reboots of the horror spoof gold-standard Scary Movie and the Mel Brooks Star Wars rip Spaceballs were greenlit, and there were rumors of a return for international man of mystery Austin Powers. Unserious times, it seems, beget appetite for knowingly unserious, joke-dense, refreshingly shallow fun. The latest of these goofy parodies, which premi...

Anne Hathaway And Jeremy Strong On Their Gorgeous Friendship And New Film Armageddon Time

-
In the recently released coming-of-age film Armageddon Time, Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway play a married couple. In real life, though, the two enjoy a special connection. The article was published in this week's issue of PEOPLE, which hit newsstands on Friday. In it, the two discuss their first encounter with one another while working on the film Serenity, which will be released in 2019. Says Hathaway, the link eventually became more robust and personal because I spent time with Jeremy's character while we were on Serenity. So on that particular project, there were times when we got to have intimate moments, and those were just great. The 39-year-old Oscar winner recalls how their lives opened up comparably at a similar time in the sense that we both had parents at around the same time. This is how their lives began to resemble one another. She argues that I should look at it from my point of view, and I can see that this beautiful friendship has taken hold. While Strong, 43, and his wife, Emma Wall, have been blessed with three girls, Hathaway, 35, and her husband, Adam Shulman, has two kids. Strong says his second daughter began to walk in the house he and Hathaway shared with friends and that her first steps were taken there. In their second picture together, titled Armageddon Time, the two of them play a Jewish middle-class couple raising two boys in a semi-autobiographically plot based on the writer and director James Gray's childhood in Queens. The winner of the Emmy for Succession acknowledges that there wasn't a lot of conversation amongst the cast and crew when they were working on the project. However, when it was necessary, we acted accordingly. An unspoken trust exists between Annie and myself, as well as between the two of us and each other. Annie and I both felt this trust in each other. We can communicate effectively with one another thanks to our shared jargon.

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...
