Click here to read the full article. In a shocking abrogation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — at least as it pertains to film critics — a mere 114 days has elapsed between Barbara Białowas and Tomasz Mandes ’ two sequels to their 2020 Netflix -busting softcore phenom, “365 Days.” So just a few scant months after “365 Days: This Day” left us in a swirl of Steadicam and a hail of bullets, here’s “ The Next 365 Days ,” plunging the series’ fans, and its contractually obliged observers, back into the lightly kink-dusted erotic adventures of Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) and Massimo (Michele Morrone), the streaming era’s favorite oversexed, underclad rape-apologist couple. What a time to be alive. In truth, the shortness of that window is a blessing, given the third film optimistically expects us to remember what happened in the second — beyond there being an evil twin, a blisteringly attractive gardener called Nacho (Simone Sussina) and a comical climactic … [Read more...] about ‘The Next 365 Days’ Review: For Masochists Only – and Not the Sexy Kind

Gusts of dragon fire. Unseemly violence at a lavish wedding. A touch of incest. Is “Game of Thrones” back? The signs are there, but the spirit is weak. “House of the Dragon,” HBO’s heavily hyped spinoff series, is saddled with respectability. It wants to be taken seriously, or at least not to give undue offense. Through six of the 10 episodes in its first season, which premieres on Sunday, it is “Game of Thrones” as Masterpiece Theater. Beneath the huge ratings, the Emmy awards and the pop-cultural domination, “Game of Thrones” (2011-19, R.I.P.) was a soap opera — fitted out with expensive sword-and-sorcery upholstery and accessorized with boundary-pushing violence and nudity, but basically a soap opera. The people who made it never forgot the formula. Even as they lost the plot over the final few seasons, they supplied a luxury package of melodrama and spectacle that many found addictive. “House of the Dragon,” set in the mythical world of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy … [Read more...] about ‘House of the Dragon’ Review: Domesticating ‘Game of Thrones’

August 19, 2022 - 16:55 BST Ottawa review: We headed to Canada's capital to find out why it's the perfect family holiday and adventure holiday. See everything from white water rafting to ziplining, Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal... Hot on the heels of Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla 's Jubilee tour, we jetted to Canada's capital city Ottawa in the province of Ontario to see what all the fuss was about, and we became absolutely smitten. Here's why… READ: 24 best things to do in glorious London in August Getting there Once direct flights resume, the flight time from London to NYC is just over six hours. I flew with Air Canada and sadly, my flight was slightly longer on account of direct flights not in operation post-pandemic. Therefore, I landed in Toronto and had to catch a quick internal flight to Ottawa – just be prepared for the usual fatigue from jetlag. Ottawa city and the Rideau Canal … [Read more...] about Ottawa review: Canada’s capital city is ideal for thrill-seekers and families alike – here’s why

close Video Review: 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ The 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ is the brand's first plug-in hybrid vehicle, combining power and fuel efficiency. Fox News Digital Automotive Editor Gary Gastelu reviews. NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! A funny thing happened while I was out test driving the 2022 Lexus NX450h+ compact SUV. It got more expensive. Its $57,300 starting price didn’t change, but while I was on the road, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, which disqualified it from the federal $7,500 tax credit. That’s because it's made in Japan and the revamped incentive program that was in the bill is only available for vehicles built in North America, even if they’ve already been on sale. Lexus hasn’t said if it plans to adjust the pricing to compensate, but with the hot car market right now, I wouldn’t expect it to soon. Especially because the NX450h+ is pretty hot. THE LEXUS LX 600 IS … [Read more...] about Review: The 2022 Lexus NX450h+ got cut off by the president

THE House of the Dragon was always going to face hefty expectations upon its much anticipated release. The prequel series, which is set about 150 years before the events of Game of Thrones , documents how the House of Targaryen falls apart in the bloody Dance of Dragons civil war. The 10-part series is the first offering from the land of Westeros since HBO’s Game of Thrones series ended in 2019, and rabid fans are eager to lay their eyes on it. GoT fans have had next to nothing to whet their insatiable appetites for new Westeros content, as author George R.R. Martin – who wrote the original books on which the shows are based – continues to drag his feet on releasing the finale to the long running saga. Production delays on the House of the Dragon , thanks to Covid outbreaks and HBO’s decision to axe another planned spin-off, Flea Bottom, led fans to worry if the show would ever see the light of day. Finally, with a budget of an eye-watering £16.6million per episode, the … [Read more...] about House of the Dragon review: Game of Thrones is SAVED with the bloodiest and most explosive premiere yet

AS a huge Stranger Things fan my ears pricked up as soon as I heard about an immersive experience arriving in the UK. I loved season four and part of me feared Stranger Things : The Experience would struggle to live up to the hype, but as soon as I arrived those doubts quickly faded away. Within minutes I was laughing and squirming in equal measure as some of Hawkins' most shady scientists began grilling me about my sleep patterns and nightmares. It quickly became clear that this was no ordinary sleep study, as advertised by the promotional material plastered around the entrance to the venue. I'll avoid major spoilers here but suffice to say, I soon found out I had more in common with Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven than I ever could have expected. With a whole host of very familiar faces helping us on our mission - virtually speaking of course- we truly felt part of the gang as we fought to escape the lab, pulling our weight by solving an array of different problems along … [Read more...] about Stranger Things: The Experience review – stepping into Hawkins has never been more explosive

In 2009, the writer Glenn Kurtz discovered a badly-degraded three-minute film in the attic of his parents’ Florida home. That film, a kind of vacation home-movie shot in 1938 by Kurtz’s grandfather, David Kurtz, contains seemingly innocuous footage of the Polish town of Nasielsk — David’s birthplace as well as one of the hundreds of Jewish communities eventually devastated by the Holocaust. Not that the majority of us would be able to discern the film’s menacing context. Silent and grainy, it shows children crowding around the camera, bearded elders staring from a distance, people spilling out of a building that you might recognize is a synagogue — if you look carefully. “Three Minutes: A Lengthening,” by the Dutch filmmaker Bianca Stigter, is committed to just that: looking carefully. The images from David’s three-minute film — at first shown from beginning to end, then chopped, screwed and restored, with several moments rewound and played over and over again — comprise the … [Read more...] about ‘Three Minutes: A Lengthening’ Review: A Ghost Story

Click here to read the full article. The roads taken by Demi Lovato have never been a simple stroll. Since the uncomplicated teen-pop of her 2008 debut, “Don’t Forget,” her growing up has found her music growing into a palate of smoky soul and glossy R&B, driven by her powerfully emotive voice and increasingly contentious lyrics inspired by the complications of her psyche, the mire of mental health, a messed-up childhood and the algebra of need that is addiction. Lovato’s had her bruises, and it always pretty much shows in her music. Announcing to Instagram that she’d conducted a “funeral” for her pop and R&B sides, as she did in January 2022, probably did not come as a shock to anyone who knows how Lovato is usually ready with turn-on-a-dime life and career moves based on mood, emotion and self-discovery. That she actually went ahead amped up the crunchy guitars and industrialized rhythms, added a patina of crustiness to her usually clarion-clear vocals and went for … [Read more...] about Demi Lovato’s ‘Holy Fvck’ Gets Darker and Ruder Without Ditching Killer Choruses: Album Review

Let's start at the end. "Game of Thrones" was the television drama of the decade right up until its eighth and final season, when the HBO series' conclusion disappointed fans on a global scale. Despite all of the show's dexterous villains, fierce emancipators, persevering women and supernatural surprises, it handed the crown to a boy who'd literally slept through much of the show's 73-episode run. Thanks to that fizzling 2019 climax, prequel "House of the Dragon" premieres Sunday amid slightly lower expectations than it would have if "GoT" had nailed the landing. But with the arrival of the first episode, "The Heirs of the Dragon," the hope that a new series might recapture some of the power and grandeur of its predecessor no longer seems so fanciful. Set 172 years before the death of the Mad King and the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, "House of the Dragon" immediately thrusts viewers into the familiar sights and sounds of the "Game of Thrones" universe: Flea Bottom and its … [Read more...] about Review: HBO’s first ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff recaptures the power, grandeur of the original
