Purr-fect casting: is Orangey the most important movie cat ever?

-
A new retrospective celebrates the work of the cat credited with roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Comedy of Terrors and Rhubarb In the midst of Oscar season, it becomes evident just how much work it takes to win an Academy Award, both in on-screen work and off-screen campaigning. Consider, however, that multiple actors have won more than one Oscar. (Emma Stone, one of this year’s best actress nominees, won twice in the past decade.) Only a single cat, meanwhile, has twice won the Patsy – the Picture Animal Top Star of the Year. (The award, given by the American Humane Association, not to be confused with the Humane Society, was discontinued in 1986.) That cat is Orangey, the subject of a small retrospective at New York City’s Metrograph cinema. Plenty of rep houses will play a movie like Breakfast at Tiffany’s around Valentine’s Day; the Metrograph is going deeper into the Orangey catalogue for a wider variety of titles and genres. Breakfast at Tiffany’s does offer Orangey his mo...

Breathing Difficulties Were Apparently A Contributing Factor In Leslie Jordan’s Death

-
According to a recent report, Leslie Jordan complained of breathing problems for the last few weeks. It had even planned an examination with his cardiologist before he passed away on Monday. This information comes from the report that was released after his death. Jordan had been complaining of feeling ill for the past three weeks, according to sources close to the American Horror Story star, and he was planning to see his physician within the following week to find out if he was experiencing pain from any underlying medical conditions. TMZ reported that the news came from these sources. There is a strong possibility that Jordan experienced a medical emergency just prior to driving his automobile into the side of a building in Hollywood. He was 67. The office of the forensic pathologist in Los Angeles is investigating the circumstances surrounding Jordan's passing. The star of Will and Grace had just finished recording a video of himself singing an original hymn the day before he passed away. The hymn was about the afterlife. The talented performer sang in the song that was never released about how strongly he believes in what happens when a person dies. Jordan performed with guitar accompaniment from his producer, Danny Myrick, about the end of time, when the trumpets of the Lord would sound, and there would be no more. When the saved of the verse should congregate across on the other shore / when the path is called from afar, I'll be there. Although Jordan gained notoriety for his iconic roles in television shows, the well-known comedian skyrocketed to the top of the social media rankings during the epidemic after he began publishing sketches on his Instagram account, which currently has nearly 6 million followers.

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...
