Winston Churchill lived a life that was long and “not … entirely uneventful,” as he once put it, and so it’s only fitting that he should be the subject of movies. Hence, across the veil of years, we have seen tall Churchills, obese Churchills, sloppy Churchills, gross Churchills and scowling bulldog Churchills, and yet not one movie or TV Churchill has come close to giving us the man in full, both in look and spirit, until Gary Oldman in “Darkest Hour.” For viewers interested in history...

Cal (3-6), who has lost five of its past six games... Читать дальше...

The deadpan irony and seemingly dispassionate air of Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki’s movies certainly aren’t for everyone, but they are a taste worth acquiring. His latest, “The Other Side of Hope,” expands his usual mordant vision of his homeland with a compelling look at Finland’s immigration issue. The film tells two stories that eventually intersect. Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) is a disaffected middle-aged salesman who abruptly leaves his wife, wins a pile of money in an illicit... Читать дальше...

Since some days my skin has been changed(for good) drastically and people ask me why and how. I can say now that it is because of my organic skincare routine. I love trying out new skincare products and I try to use organic and natural products the most.

It’s a long shot, literally, but a fullcourt make to end the half would be an exquisite exclamation point. It ... did not go well. The shot wouldn’t have even counted since it was still... Читать дальше...
