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...

Surbhi Chandna takes to Instagram to SLAM Vistara Airlines over misplaced luggage: “Mentally tortured me”

-

Leading Indian television actress Surbhi Chandna recently had an unpleasant travel experience with Vistara Airlines, and she's not holding back her frustration. Chandna took to Instagram to share her ordeal with her followers, accusing the airline of misplacing her luggage, providing false promises, and causing her "mental torture."

Chandna's ordeal began when one of the bags in her priority luggage was offloaded mid-flight and didn't make it to Mumbai with her. Upon arrival, she attempted to contact Vistara staff for information but allegedly received no concrete answers.

In a strongly worded Instagram post, Chandna wrote, "The WORST AIRLINE award goes to @airvistara. A priority bag was offloaded for reasons best known to them. They have wasted the entire day and I still have not been assured if the bag has reached the Mumbai airport or no. False promises by the incompetent staff horrible delays by airline."

She further expressed her disappointment with the airline's handling of the situation, stating, "They are not sure if they can even arrange a vendor to send the bag in case they locate it all this after they have mentally tortured me. False promises by the incompetent staff has caused mental harassment. Horrible delays by the airline. I suggest you'll to think a 100 times before you fly this pathetic airline."

Chandna went on to name a specific staff member who she felt was "extremely rude in her approach" and exhibited "unprofessional and unapologetic" behavior. This incident, according to Chandna, is emblematic of the "pathetic staff service" experienced when the airline is at fault.

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...
