just now (421+ words) Russell Crowe has criticised the creators of the Gladiator sequel for not understanding "what made the first one special". The actor, who played the lead character of Roman general Maximus in the 2000 historical epic, said the "moral core" of the story was what drew people into the original. Sir Ridley Scott's highly-anticipated sequel, starring Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal, received mixed reviews from film critics following its release last year. It appears that Russell was among those who were not entertained, as he said the film was a "really unfortunate example" of "people in that engine room not actually understanding what made that first one special". In an interview with Australian radio station Triple J, he said: "It wasn't the pomp. It wasn't the circumstance. It wasn't the action. It was the moral core." The first film, also directed by…...

"She was like, "Mom, you seem more at home here than at home," recalls Dern, adding that what Jaya spotted was the ease of someone who, as the child of actors Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd, has been on soundstages and location shoots since infancy. "I've spent my life on set. I love it. I feel so comfortable." "I've never seen a harder worker in my life in any profession," says Dern. "To know someone like that inspires a level of discipline in me I don't think I've had before."

These and more have been found in Lidl supermarkets over the years. The brand " alongside German rival Aldi " has become famous for its middle aisle, which in larger stores is always a vaguely mysterious and nonsensical collection of items. Now croissant-scented perfume is the latest bizarre move by the budget retailer, a scent inspired by the French bakery classic. Lidl's new 15ml, croissant-shaped bottle was created by the British perfumer Sarah McCartney. Saltburn-born, she joined the cosmetics brand Lush when it had just four stores (it now has 700 worldwide) before going it alone and launching 4160 Tuesdays, a specialist cosmetics shop. Her Eau de Croissant is a limited-edition creation that supposedly smells just like the buttery flavour of a traditional French breakfast....

"For several reasons, I myself do not have access…...

Some might call her a witch. But they'd be wrong. She's more like a daughter of mother nature. Destined for love and tragedy of Shakesperean proportions. Something she could foretell: "The women in my family see things." Sometimes she lays curled up at the base of a tree. Falcons land on her arm. She forages in the woods for medicinal herbs. It's as if the earth speaks to her, or at least is her spiritual guide. Agnes (Jessie Buckley) lives her own life. Some would say she's peculiar. Different from that of the other villagers in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in the late 1500s. Narrow-minded folks…...

Hmm. This isn't an accurate assessment of Dano. But it could be that Tarantino's feelings about Anderson are in any case more complicated than that. It is certainly not the hipster-obscure selection that you might expect, certainly from, say, reading Tarantino's fascinating memoir Cinema Speculation. But we're back to Paul Thomas Anderson and There Will Be Blood; Tarantino wouldn't be human if he wasn't aware of PTA's status as a rival to his own and of Anderson as a film-maker who seems to be creating work with more fluency and productivity than Tarantino right…...
