Showing Up review – Kelly Reichardt’s indie art drama is downbeat but diverting

Subtlety and reticence are the keynotes of this diverting if insistently downbeat new picture from Kelly Reichardt, photographed in the soft, indie-stonewashed colours that are part of this director’s signature. An artist and ceramicist in Portland, Oregon is on the verge of an important new show, but she’s plagued with personal problems. Her neighbour-slash-landlady (a fellow or rival artist, as it happens) is failing to fix the hot water in...

Ray Liotta obituary

‘As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.” Those words, delivered with lingering fascination by the actor Ray Liotta, who has died unexpectedly aged 67, ushered audiences into Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990), one of the most dynamic pictures made about the criminal life and its enticements.

Fans absolutely hated these casting choices

When it comes to casting popular characters for TV or film, fans have some pretty big opinions. Sometimes a character is so established in pop culture that any attempt to break the mould is met with anger, while other times viewers just think a particular actor isn’t up to the job.

Here’s a list of 20 other casting choices that fans originally hated.

Famous figures accused of sexual misconduct

The era of #MeToo has brought waves of fresh sexual misconduct allegations against some prominent and powerful figures. It might seem like all of these accusations are new, but the fact is that victims are only just starting to feel more comfortable in sharing their experiences, and these acts of sexual misconduct and abuse have been going on for many, many years. The difference is that, now, people are paying attention. The public is still learning how to deal with figures accused of sexual crimes, but by putting these stories in the spotlight, a discussion can be had about the power structures that enable these patterns, the faults our society has had in the past in dealing with them, and the steps we can take to do better. Read through this gallery to discover defamed faces who have been accused of sexual misconduct.

The intriguing and complicated life of Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford was one of Hollywood's most recognized movie stars of the 1940s. Beginning her career in the silent era, she went on to triumph in films like 'Mildred Pierce' (1945) and, later, 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?' (1962). But Crawford had a darker side. While her long-running feud with Bette Davis is the stuff of legend, the allegations that she was an abusive and alcoholic mother forever tarnished her reputation. Nonetheless, she remains an iconic figure in Hollywood history. Curious to know more? Click through for a look at the life and work of Joan Crawford.

Andy Fletcher obituary

Bands could not function without a member designated the quiet standard bearer, and in Depeche Mode that was Andy Fletcher, who has died suddenly aged 60.

Rory Kinnear on humour, horror and trauma: ‘I went in the truck and there was my skull again, sent to haunt me’

You can never be sure who you are going to meet when you interview an actor.

Andrew Fletcher: the pop-loving everyman who held Depeche Mode together

Andy Fletcher was the last person to tell you why he was vital to Depeche Mode.

Depeche Mode are one of the most popular and influential British...

All the details on Ellen DeGeneres' public fall from grace

There was once a time when Ellen DeGeneres’ brand seemed like the only reliable one out there—after all, how could you go wrong with “be kind” as your motto and huge charity giveaways as your signature move? Unfortunately, her position as “one of the good ones” only made her fall harder when numerous claims came out from current and former employees of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show' in 2020. They revealed that the star and her eponymous show are not nearly as nice as they seemed. There were allegations of racism, bullying, sexual harassment, and assault on set, dealing a brutal blow to the host's reputation. All things considered, DeGeneres made a a reasonably successful comeback, but her show was never quite the same. Her decision to end it in 2022 with a 19th and final season was therefore no big surprise. But what really happened? Click through the gallery to find out how it all started, and how she came to the decision to exit the show.
