Many Celebrities, Including Dolly Parton, Remember Leslie Jordan

The passing of Leslie Jordan on Monday at the age of 67 has left a void in the entertainment world. According to PEOPLE, a representative for Jordan has verified that he was killed in a car crash in Hollywood, California, due to a medical issue. According to the LAPD, the incident happened at about 9:30 a.m. local time. Throughout the day after the news of Jordan's death was publicized, his colleague stars and individuals in Hollywood paid tribute to him on social media. Dolly Parton wrote a moving eulogy for Jordan that she shared with the world on Monday night. 'Well, I am as hurt and startled as if I have lost a family member,' the 76-year-old country music legend continued. But, just as I felt a unique connection to Leslie, I believe people worldwide experienced the same experience. I know it's cliche to say, "Oh, they will be missed," but in this case, it's true. People who knew him and those who enjoyed his performances will miss him. May you rest in peace, little bro. Mayim Bialik, who co-stars with Jordan in Call Me Kat, released the following statement to PEOPLE on behalf of the cast and crew: The cast and crew of Call Me Kat are at a loss for words at this tragic loss. But, unlike most people, Leslie Jordan loomed huge in the spotlight. He embodied the ideal of a Southern gentleman: sensitive, sage, sneaky, and amusing. The thought of life without our Leslie—the man who spit on his prescription lenses before inserting them, the guy who knew a narrative around every man in Hollywood and a few of the women too, the person who lived to make people laugh—is incomprehensible. We became acquainted with and loved him at the peak of his joy and satisfaction. So we ask for privacy while we mourn Leslie's loss and honor her life and the numerous contributions she made to our lives and the globe.

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...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
