1 week ago Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost review – Ben Stiller’s moving study on the price his family paid for showbiz

Stiller’s documentary about his parents, comedy duo Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, is a tender reflection on marriage and what it costs to keep smiling in the entertainment businessBen Stiller has created a sweet, affectionate, unexpectedly poignant portrait of his parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara – and, perhaps without quite realising it, of himself as well. His mum and dad were two hard-working actor-comedians who had a very successful TV double act in the 60s and 70s and a long marriage. This has been the source of so much material, based on the quarrels and tensions to which Ben and his sister Amy were intimate witnesses.Both parents’ backgrounds were hard. Anne’s mother had taken her own life; Jerry’s dad was tough and unsupportive. Perhaps they never experienced the full status of stardom that their son has enjoyed, although Jerry had a new lease of late-life TV fame in the 90s with his superb portrayal of George Costanza’s dad in Seinfeld. The film is centred on Ben and Am...

1 week ago Shelby Oaks review – junky Halloween horror delivers zero scares

There is really nothing to be scared of in this clumsy hodgepodge of found footage, mockumentary and conventional narrativeIt might be the year that saw Sinners raise hell over Easter and Weapons target the late summer but this Halloween, the options are scarily poor in comparison, no tricks or treats, just junk. Last week’s Elm Street-cribbing sequel Black Phone 2 was a sign of a franchise already running out of steam while this week, low-budget disappointment Shelby Oaks tries and fails to start a new one, a scrappy attempt to conjure the clammy fear of The Blair Witch Project, a film that has so far proved impossible to replicate (horror fans would be far better served by making the most of the Sinners Imax re-release).It’s the debut of the YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann, who premiered his Kickstarter-funded feature at last year’s genre-led Fantasia festival, attracting the attention of Neon, a company who had just achieved surprise success with the serial killer horror Long...

In a new essay collection, the dean of Columbia University’s graduate school of journalism makes a compelling argument that everything is connected and nothing is inevitable about racial justice or democracy“From the vantage point of the newsroom, the first story is almost never the full story,” writes Jelani Cobb. “You hear stray wisps of information, almost always the most inflammatory strands of a much bigger, more complicated set of circumstances.”The dean of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in New York could be reflecting on the recent killing of the racist provocateur Charlie Kirk. In fact, he is thinking back to Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African American student from Florida who was shot dead by a white Latino neighbourhood watch volunteer in 2012. Continue reading...
