Sam Rockwell, Frances McDormand, and Zeljko Ivanek in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Martin McDonagh, 2017) Cast: Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish, Lucas Hedges, Zeljko Ivanek, Caleb Landry Jones, Clarke Peters, John Hawkes, Peter Dinklage, Sandy Martin. Screenplay: Martin McDonagh. Cinematography: Ben Davis. Production design: Inbal Weinberg. Film editing: Jon Gregory. Music: Carter Burwell. Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell got the Oscars they deserved: Mildred Hayes's sour persistence and Jason Dixon's stupidity make them just short of caricatures; they needed the nuances provided by McDormand and Rockwell to come to any semblance of life. But the performer who gives Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri the grounding it needs is Woody Harrelson, one of those actors, like John Goodman or the late Bill Paxton, whose presence in the cast could make any movie just a little bit better. Chief Willoughby, the butt of Mildred's billboards, is not the dumb small-town police chief that we (and of course Mildred) first believe him to be. He's a more complex figure, who even achieves a measure of tragic grandeur with his suicide, carefully leaving a note on the hood he puts over his face to tell his wife not to remove it but to leave that to the police, and then leaving behind notes for his nemesis, Mildred, and for Dixon ("I'm dead now, sorry about that") that set the remainder of the film in motion. He gives McDonagh's acerbic screenplay a bit of warmth, though maybe not enough: I found Three Billboards a less satisfying film than his wonderful In Bruges (2008). But like that film, it has a fascinating texture provided by a supporting cast full of skillful players: Lucas Hedges as Mildred's somewhat exasperated son; Zeljko Ivanek as the desk sergeant trying to bring order out of the office chaos ("You do not allow a member of the public to call you a fuckhead in the station house"); Caleb Landry Jones as the advertising manager who gets the brunt of the town's protests and is tossed out of a window by Dixon; Clarke Peters as the level-headed new chief who manages to restore order after Willoughby's death; John Hawkes as Mildred's hair-trigger ex-husband encumbered with an air-headed girlfriend; Peter Dinklage as Mildred's suitor bearing up under constant reminders that he's a "midget"; and Sandy Martin as Dixon's demanding racist mother. There are also scenes that come out of nowhere, as when Mildred, tending the flowers at her billboards, carries on a tender, one-sided conversation with a deer that has wandered into the field and is watching her. In the runup to the Oscars, when it was a contender for best picture, Three Billboards encountered some criticism for not taking more seriously Dixon's treatment of Black people, especially since the real town of Ferguson is in the same state as the fictional Ebbing. There's some justice to the charge that McDonagh is being insensitive, but satire is always insensitive. It's not a great film, I think, but maybe that judgment is premature. As Mildred says, "I guess we can decide along the way."

Essay: Is Edgar Wright An Auteur?

Edgar Wright is an English writer, director and producer, he began making short films when he was a teenager, they were mostly spoof genre films. This theme of spoof and genre films would carry onto his career. His first feature film was the spoof western ‘A Fistfull of Fingers’ in 1995. While the film received mixed reviews and was considered a Box Office Bomb, it got him noticed by comedians. During the late 90s, Wright moved on to direct several BBC shows with comedians. In 1998, Wright was contacted by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes to be the director of their series ‘Spaced’, a sitcom about flatmates. Wright gave Spaced a different visual style from other sitcoms, doing dramatic angles akin to sci-fi and horror films. The success of Spaced gave Wright the move to feature films.

His second feature was ‘Shaun of the Dead’, a zombie comedy mixed with ‘Brit Flick’ romantic comedy with nods to classic Romero zombie horror. The film was a success and was an international hit. Wright and Pegg planned out three more films in the same vein that they called the “Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy”, named after Krzysztof Piesiewicz’s Three Colours Trilogy. The other films were Hot Fuzz, a police buddy comedy where Police Sergeant Nicholas Angel transfers from London to Sanford only to discover something grisly, and The World's End, a sci-fi comedy where a group of old school friends return to their home town for a pub crawl. These films would become perhaps his best-known work.

In 2010 he adapted the comic book ‘Scott Pilgrim’ into a feature film, however, the film flopped despite critical reception and praise from fellow directors such as Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino and Jason Reitman. Wright was set to direct the Marvel Comics film ‘Ant-Man’ having written the story and screenplay with Joe Cornish. However, he left the project due to creative differences but was still given a writer's credit and his mark was definitely left on the finished film. For example, the film's heist plot is very different to other Superhero films that came before it. His next film ‘Baby Driver’ (2017) was described by Hollywood Deadline as “a collision of crime, action, music and sound’. Wright’s most recent film was ‘Last Night In Soho’ (2021) a psychological horror different to his norm but the main parts of Wright’s comedy find their way into the film.

What we can see from the filmography of Wright is that he can do genre films and put his own spin on the genre and with Baby Driver, it’s not just an action film, it’s an action, romance, musical, crime film.

What is Auteur Theory?

No one can agree on what the exact definition of Auteur Theory is, an Auteur is defined by Britannica as “[the] theory of filmmaking in which the director is viewed as the major creative force in a motion picture”. This theory suggests that the film should be judged on who the director is, for example, some have suggested that the plot of ‘Once Upon A Time is Hollywood’ is quite weak but because it is a Quentin Tarantino film people are going to rate it highly. A film takes the work of hundreds of thousands of people to make it and no one person can be credited for the success or the failure of the film.

Others have defined Auteur Theory as “a film is a reflection of the director’s artistic vision; so, a movie directed by a given filmmaker will have recognizable, recurring themes and visual queues that inform the audience who the director is (think a Hitchcock or Tarantino film) and shows a consistent artistic identity throughout that director’s filmography.” (Indie Film Hustle) This means that a film made by an Auteur will have a recognizable ‘flair’ that the Auteur shows in all of their work. For example, in most of Tarantino’s films, there are storylines that do not follow a conventional timeline. He also uses a purposefully excessive amount of bloodshed in a satirical way often with repetition. This definition I agree with as it means that the film can be a success or a flop, but it is still recognisable as the work of the director.

How does Edgar Wright's comedy style make him an Auteur?

Edgar Wright is known for his musical timing best seen in Baby Driver where just about all of the action sequences are timed to the track or tracks that are playing. The best example of this is in the opening scene set to Bellbottoms by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. To Wright, the screen is his playground and instead of writing jokes into the dialogue and keeping a bland two-shot between the characters he will write the jokes into the edit and into the language of the film. For example, in The World’s End, the scene when the group go into the first pub and order 5 beers but then Andy cuts in and asks for water instead. The way Garry reacts to this is how Edgar Wright makes his comedy. He makes the edit do the heavy lifting. It also shows another trait of Wright, his match cuts between the glasses, the taps and then to the table.

The YouTube channel Every Frame a Painting makes the point that comedy films, especially American comedies, have lost the way of filmmaking and that they are just lightly edited improv between actors, only using a small portion of the range film provides to make jokes. He claims that only animation and adverts have retained their visual comedy. Edgar Wright is one of the few directors using the full range of films to make a comedy, using dialogue, sound and cinematography. Wright has said that his comedy was inspired by the satirical nature of Evil Dead II (1987) directed by Sam Rami and has said many times that his favourite film is An American Werewolf in London (1981). While these are both horror films first, they also have elements of dark humour in them.

In conclusion, I believe that Edgar Wright is an auteur as defined by Indie Film Hustle, and that he has a certain creative flair that shows in his work. However, this isn’t just because of him. For example, The Cornetto Trilogy was written by Wright with Simon Pegg. Cinematographer Bill Pope has worked with Wright on Scott Pilgrim, Worlds End and Baby Driver. Producer Nina Park has worked with Wright on most of his films. All of these people add to the creative process. In conclusion, Edgar Wright has a flair in his filmmaking but this isn’t pulled off solely because of him, there is a team of hundreds of thousands who work with him to make each of his films.

If I have a character's ethnicity marked with a * it means that cultural or national background is within two generations (so grandparent or parent, ** means that ethnicity is/was their nationality (and it applies to being a member of an indigenous tribe). If someone is mixed-race their ethnicities are marked separately.

What Happened to CNN Live Streaming?

CNN is a cable and satellite television network with an established history of providing live coverage of news events. It boasts an enthusiastic viewership that appreciates its honest interpretations of breaking stories.

WarnerMedia owns and operates the cable news channel, part of Discovery Networks. It is currently the third most popular cable news network in America.

What happened to cnn live stream?

CNN (Cable News Network) is a United States-based news and entertainment channel. As the first all-news television network in America, cnn news live is renowned for its 24-hour news coverage.

CNN covers a wide range of topics, such as politics, business, health and technology. Additionally, they provide live coverage for events like natural disasters or presidential elections.

You can watch the channel online for free using various streaming services. Some of these providers offer free trials so that you can try them out before signing up.

Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV all offer free trials, making them an excellent way to watch CNN without cable subscription. Alternatively, Sling TV or AT&T TV Now may be suitable if you need a full cable replacement solution.

Watching CNN online with a VPN is one of the simplest methods. Just sign up to a US VPN provider, change your location to America, and head over to CNN's website as if you were in America.

Why did cnn shut down its streaming service?

CNN+, their costly venture into subscription streaming, has shut down just one month after launch. This comes as a shocking setback for the venture that was touted as being the most significant launch since Ted Turner founded CNN.

It had invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the project and secured big names from news to host shows on its service, such as Kasie Hunt from NBC and Chris Wallace from Fox News. Projections indicated that two million subscribers would subscribe to the service, which had been hailed as a crucial step towards combatting traditional cable viewership decline.

On Thursday, Chris Licht, the new chief executive, informed employees that CNN+ would be shuttered at the end of April and current subscribers would receive prorated refunds on their fees. He explained that CNN+ would become part of a wider strategy that included sports, entertainment and non-fiction programming under Warner Bros Discovery as its new parent company.

What happened to cnn+?

On March 29th, CNN+ made history as one of the most high-profile and costly streaming services ever to launch. To give it a jumpstart in the digital era, the company invested hundreds of millions of dollars.

The concept was that this service would serve as a destination for CNN viewers, rather than an alternative to the network. It would offer eight to twelve hours of live programming daily.

Jason Kilar, CEO of Warner Media, gave his approval for cnn+ to go live and Jeff Zucker, president of CNN, was eager to secure big name talent such as NPR's Audie Cornish and longtime Fox News anchor Chris Wallace to anchor shows on the platform.

On April 11, less than one month after launch, the service's leadership informed its marketing team that their budget had been cut to zero. Several people who were present at the meeting vividly recall it.

At an hour-long meeting that followed their hiring of Licht and CNN Worldwide Chief Marketing Officer Allison Gollust, they made it abundantly clear they weren't in favor of keeping the product alive.

What happened to cnn+’s employees?

CNN+ enjoyed an overwhelmingly successful launch. It invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the service and recruited top talent from other networks for its lineup of live shows. Additionally, Rex Chapman (social media influencer) and chef Alison Roman (food blogger) joined anchoring shows on the streaming service as non-news personalities.

However, that all changed when Warner Bros. Discovery, led by CEO David Zaslav, acquired WarnerMedia in late March. That marked a shift away from opinion-based programming and toward straight news reporting as the service's long-term strategy.

According to a source close to the company, employees were furious with the decision to shutter CNN+ due to its misalignment with new leadership's long-term vision.

Accordingly, the network is providing junior staffers with six months of severance and priority on job opportunities within the company. Furthermore, high-profile talent such as former Fox News host Chris Wallace and MSNBC reporter Kasie Hunt have been informed they will be reassigned to either cable news networks or other WB Discovery platforms.

A Body at Lavender Cottage by Dee MacDonald (A Kate Palmer Mystery #6)

Nurse Kate Palmer is Cornwall’s answer to Miss Marple! But when a body turns up in her own garden can Kate solve the crime? Or is the murder a bit too close to home?

Kate Palmer is stunned when she wakes up one morning to discover the body of a man in the beautiful garden of Lavender Cottage. She’s spent the last few years renovating her cozy, clifftop cottage with its gorgeous views of the sparkling Cornish sea. And a death right under her nose is more than a little unsettling… When Woody Forrest, Kate’s new husband and the village’s retired detective inspector, takes a closer look he realises the victim is none other than Frank Ford – Woody’s old nemesis. Now, Frank is lying dead amongst the daisies… strangled with Woody’s blue police tie. Kate is certain the man she loves is not a murderer and is determined to prove his innocence. But who would want to kill Frank and frame Woody? As Kate investigates, Frank’s family seem to be the obvious suspects. Could it be Jason Ford, the youngest son, who has an odd obsession with birdwatching? Sid Kinsella, the angry father-in-law? Or Sharon Mason, the troublesome daughter? When another member of the Ford family bites the dust while Woody is tending his allotment, it’s clear the killer is determined to bury Woody’s reputation. But when a chance conversation on Bluebell Road provides Kate with a clue, she must find a woman named Rose, who could hold the answers Kate is looking for. But Kate needs to dig up the truth – and fast! – before poor Woody is thrown behind bars. Can she solve the case and save her husband before it’s too late?

My Review: I’ve been loving this series since I read the first book and always enjoyed Kate’s investigation and was glad to visit Lavender Cottage and the lovely surroundings This means I always enjoyed the novels in this series and found them compelling even when I wasn’t the biggest fan. This one is my favorite, gripping and entertaining, full of surprising twists and well thought characters. Kate is personally involved as the body is found in her garden and Woody is amongst the suspects. There’s something in the past that could be behind the murder, there’s a dysfunctional family always in the grey zone, and there’s a lot of twists. I was surprised till the end and liked the solution. Kate is not being reckless and I loved how she’s fighting for Woody, searching to discover what happened and who did it. The author did an excellent job in developing this tightly knitted plot, fast paced and never dragging. I read it in one sitting and couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series, this one is strongly recommended. Many thanks to Bookouture for this arc, all opinions are mine

The Author: Aged 18, Dee arrived in London from Scotland and typed her way round the West End for a couple of years before joining BOAC (forerunner of British Airways) in Passenger Services for 2 years and then as a stewardess for 8 years. She has worked in Market Research, Sales and at the Thames TV Studios when they had the franchise. Dee has since relocated to Cornwall, where she spent 10 years running B&Bs, and only began writing when she was over 70! Married twice, she has one son and two grandsons.
