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...

The Realization That Matthew Perry Wasn’t Impotent Came To Him Courtesy Of Tricia Fisher

-
Before Carrie Fisher's half-sister, Tricia Fisher disproved his theory, Matthew Perry had been under the impression that his penis was inactive for many years. The former cast member of Friends revealed in his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, how he attempted to have sex when he was a teenager but could not perform because he drank six beers before the encounter. Instead of establishing the connection between the alcohol and [his] private parts, the now-53-year-old actor believed that he had lost his ability to have sexual relations. According to Perry, who claimed he started drinking alcohol when he was a teenager, he stated, "I was traveling around the earth thinking sex was something for other people." Since a very long time ago. It sounds like a lot of fun to have sex, but I didn't have that option. On the other hand, when the former Mr. Sunshine star began dating Fisher, who is now 53 years old and informed her about his embarrassing story, she comforted him that his arousal difficulties weren't going to arise again and led [him] back to bed. Most certainly... He boasted in the book that he basked in glory for a whole two minutes. Perry made a joke about how he compensated the actress for her generosity by sleeping with virtually every woman in Southern California. In his biography, published on Tuesday, the actor nominated for a Golden Globe discusses many of his relationships, including the breakup he had with Julia Roberts in 1995. Dating Julia Roberts was too much for me to handle at the time. He explained his decision by saying, "I had always been certain that she was going to break up with me," which was one of the reasons he ended the relationship. Perry continued by saying that she was broken, bent, and unlovable and had never been enough; she could never be enough. So I decided to end my relationship with the stunning and talented Julia Roberts so I wouldn't have to go through the misery of losing her.

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...
