2 h. ago Diane Keaton remembered by her final director: ‘Cameramen dissolved into puddles at her feet’

In 2023, Diane Keaton shot her last film, the comedy Summer Camp. Its director remembers her energy, fearlessness and effortless authenticity on setDiane Keaton had been an icon since before I was even born; who was I to direct her? To fill her head with my dialogue? To give her a note, suggesting: “It might be even funnier if you tried ”?And yet, as she towered over me in sky-high Gucci platform booties, she never made me feel even one inch less tall as I guided her through what would wind up being her final film.

2 h. ago Football Daily | Danish villain sent packing in Swedish football’s attempt at Nordic noir

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Something is rotten in the state of Sweden, though it’s a Dane taking the blame. Jon Dahl Tomasson, one-time Newcastle flop turned elite Feyenoord and Milan forward and former Blackburn manager, has just been sent packing after presiding over historic failure as manager of his neighbouring country. “Resign JDT” read one banner in Stockholm’s national stadium after Sweden lost 2-0 to Switzerland on Friday, while another read “danskjävel”, roughly translated as JDT’s nationality within a portmanteau questioning his parentage. Yes, that’s Sweden, the country that boasts Alexander Isak, the Premier League’s most expensive striker, and Viktor Gyökeres, last year’s European Golden Boot winner who hardly came cheap to Arsenal. The midfield trio of Daniel Svensson, of Borussia Dortmund, Lucas Bergvall of Tottenham and Brighton’s Yasin Asari reeks of talent and promise. Monday night, again at home, and the calls for Tomasson’s head continued...

3 h. ago Boots: the Netflix sleeper hit that’s a stunning indictment of military homophobia

This word-of-mouth sensation’s scenes about the US marines’ treatment of homosexuality are incredibly powerful. Until it throws in a weird food fight and starts trying to become an Orange Is the New Black-style comedy dramaOne of the pitfalls of the streaming era is that so many shows seem to go unheralded. Last week, Netflix’s Boots looked likely to be one of them, slipping into the submenus without making a noise. However, thanks to unbelievably positive reviews (“The best new TV show of the fall” said USA Today) and frothing word of mouth, the military drama is now the third most-watched show on the platform. With every passing hour, it seems as though Boots is destined to become the next Squid Game-style breakout. So, with all that said, is it actually any good?The answer: kind of. Boots is an adaptation of Greg Cope White’s 2015 memoir The Pink Marine, detailing his time in the US military in 1990, a few years before Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell became the service’s official position ...

5 h. ago The House at Hallow End review – home renovation horror finds emotional heft among the terror

Angela Gulner’s tragi-horror debut trades jump scares for depth, as a family home turns into a mirror of loss and madnessNew mum Harper (Katie Parker) and her baby daughter move in with her mother Sadie (Patricia Heaton) to help finish sorting out an old fixer-upper of a home, bought with intent to flip. Also along for the ride is Bette (Emma Fitzpatrick), a live-in carer who turns out to be pregnant. But the path of property renovation never did run smooth, and soon, the weird noises and shadows and visions of a strange figure with a beak-like face start to take their toll on Harper. But how real is the threat? Is it all simply the projections of a frayed psyche or is something supernatural going on?Initially, it seems that writer and director Angela Gulner’s debut (previously titled The Beldham) is akin to a low-budget version of The Babadook, the breakout hit from 2014 that saw Essie Davis’s young widow living perpetually on the verge of a breakdown. There is indeed a similar int...

7 h. ago The Twits review – Americanised Roald Dahl is gruesome in all the wrong ways

Netflix’s animation mangles and sentimentalises Dahl’s black comedy about a gross and detestable married couple – relocating the action to Texas and introducing a plucky orphan heroineThis animated Netflix adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The Twits is only fractionally less gruelling than eating wormy spaghetti or finding a toad stuffed in the bottom of your bed. Dahl’s story about one of the most dysfunctional marriages in fiction is not exactly burdened with plot: the 95-page original is essentially a series of mean pranks, all monstrously mangled here and tortuously added to.There has been some outrage that Netflix have Americanised the story, but that is the least of this film’s problems. In the fictional city of Triperot, Mrs Twit (voiced by Margo Martindale) is a Texan in blue denim cowboy boots, unhappily married to Mr Twit (Johnny Vegas, keeping his Lancashire accent). The couple have built a rickety amusement park called Twitlandia, with rides made out of toilets and old mattress...
