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,...

In Their First Public Appearance Together, Henry Cavill And Natalie Viscuso Attended The Premiere Of Enola Holmes 2

-
At the New York City premiere of Enola Holmes 2 on Netflix on Thursday night, Henry Cavill and his girlfriend Natalie Viscuso made their red carpet debut. During their photo op at the celebrity-studded event, the couple couldn't help but get quite affectionate. Cavill, who is 39 years old, was observed placing his arms affectionately around the waist of his girlfriend, who is 33 years old, and at one point looking adoringly into her eyes while she smiled for the photographers. The hero of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" looked dapper in a pinstriped suit and a red tie combination. During this time, Viscuso wowed in a stylish yellow dress with off-shoulder sleeves and a cape that she had draped over it. In the upcoming sequel to the critically acclaimed movie Enola Holmes, which starred Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill will take on the role of Sherlock Holmes. After they were caught walking his dog in London in April 2021, the Justice League star and Viscuso, who had been on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 in 2005, acknowledged that they were dating after they were seen together. In the same month, they made their relationship public on Instagram by posting a snapshot of the two occupying the duplicate checker's board. The caption that Cavill added to the picture on Instagram at the time read, "This is me looking cautiously optimistic soon before my beautiful and smart girlfriend, Natalie, crushes me in chess." During that time, Viscuso posted the same photograph on social media alongside the caption, "Just training my dear Henry how to play some chess... Or... perhaps he chose to let me win? 🤷🏼‍♀️ On her social media accounts, the Hollywood power player has also gushed about the Hollywood heartthrob, her boyfriend. Henry, I cannot express how incredibly proud I am of you. In November 2021, she stated in an Instagram post featuring the actor on The Hollywood Reporter's cover that "you truly are the best man I have ever known."

‘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...
