Hints and tips:
...Take 2020’s Mank, for example....
...series slips neatly into place next to Netflix’s When They See Us , about a group of young black men wrongly convicted in the Central Park jogger rape case, and the Nikki Yovino case detailed in Channel 4’s...
...Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said China’s announcement represented “a body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by”....
...It involves hero-worship, mistaken or otherwise: my dad, working into the night in his sludge-coloured (M&S?)...
...Altman is a documentary served straight up, with one olive (Shelley Duvall seen rescuing Popeye, as Olive Oyl) and the swizzle stick of a round-robin question to interviewees....
...Downey dazzles in the lead and Robert Duvall would, too, as his dad, if only the script could allow it....
...This is not quite what Robert Duvall said as the mad colonel in the epic film Apocalypse Now about the Vietnam war....
...Robert Duvall plays the recluse, a towering presence whether brandishing a shotgun or melting into sardonic wit, never putting a foot – or eyebrow or little finger – wrong....
...But before Duvall, Charlize Theron has too many wraith-like flashbacks as vanished mum, and after Duvall, Guy Pearce, straggly and messianic, comes in for an ending as unconvincing as in the novel....
