Cover-Up review – atrocity exposer Seymour Hersh, journalist legend, gets a moment in the spotlight

-
Hersh’s record on uncovering the big stories, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib, speaks for itself. This documentary watches him at work: dogged, nonconformist and combative Renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was never played in a film by Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman, like the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. But as this documentary portrait argues, he’s probably more important than either. Hersh has a longer record of breaking big stories, from the My Lai massacre in Vietnam to torture by US army personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq – the latter a historic scoop underscored by the stomach-turning photos which Hersh brought to light. Hersh is asked if Abu Ghraib would have been the story it was without those pictures and replies: “No pictures, no story.” Well, maybe. But his other scoops had no pictures of this kind. One incidental thing Abu Ghraib showed was how ubiquitous digital photography became at the beginning of the century; how easy it was to take...

Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao starrer Stree 2 trailer set for July 18 launch

-

The trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, Stree 2, is set to be unleashed on Thursday, July 18. The film marks the return of Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee to the sequel.

The first Stree took audiences on a delightful horror-comedy ride. Set in a small town haunted by a vengeful spirit simply known as "Stree," the film cleverly blended scares with humour, leaving viewers both entertained and a little apprehensive about venturing out after dark. While plot details remain tightly under wraps, the trailer launch promises to shed some light on what awaits us in Stree 2.

The original Stree starred Shraddha Kapoor as a tailor named Stree who stumbles upon the town's secret, Rajkummar Rao as the love interest drawn into the mystery, and Pankaj Tripathi as the resident soothsayer. The film was helmed by Amar Kaushik.

The teaser of Stree 2 was released in June 2024 as the original characters set out for yet another spooky adventure and on a mission to protect Chanderi after a series of demonic occurrences, from evil spirits. They dropped the teaser on social media along with the tagline, “Iss baar Chanderi mein azaadi ke din hoga aatank!”

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is expected to have a cameo in Stree 2. The film, produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, is set to release in theatres on August 15, 2024. It will clash with John Abraham’s Vedaa and Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein.

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...
