‘The View’ to Continue Without Writers: ‘Gonna Hear How It Would Be When It’s Not Slicked Up’

Asked about the WGA strike at the Cannes Film Festival press conference Friday for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, director James Mangold said, “No movie happens without a great script, and no great script happens without writers.”

gracing the cover of the 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.“What is the message?” moderator Whoopi Goldberg asked the panel after a photo of Stewart’s SI cover appeared, eliciting cheers from the audience.“You gotta have the moolah … and good genes,” replied Joy Behar, who is one year younger than Stewart.“She looks great,” Sunny Hostin chimed in. “It’s finally about time in this country for us to be able to say an 81-year-old woman can look great and look sexy and own it.”“Last week we had a whole bunch of Hollywood legends on — Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen and our own Joy Behar — who have made me think so fundamentally differently about aging,” replied Alyssa Farah Griffin.

About twenty minutes into the new Netflix thriller “The Mother,” star Jennifer Lopez locks eyes with a snarling, angry wolf in the snowy Alaskan wilderness. Just as Lopez raises her rifle, a bunch of cute wolf babies emerge from their snowy home.

The Mother is a mutha of an intimately scaled action film, a violent female-centric drama about a hardened combat veteran who has great difficulty adapting to being anything other than a tough soldier, and that includes being a mother. Joining Kathryn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins, Gina Prince-Blythewood, Mimi Leder and the Wachowski siblings among women responsible for notable action features, Aussie director Niki Caro (Whale Rider, Mulan) has delivered a film that could easily have veered into sentiment at any moment but instead remains tough as nails and doesn’t go soft at the end. The film would surely have an even greater impact on the big screen but, as it is, launched Friday on Netflix.

The View have issued a statement to fans following the fight that broke out on stage earlier this week.The incident occurred on Wednesday night (May 10), during the first night of the band’s long-awaited comeback tour. Taking to the stage at The Dead Institute venue in Manchester, the performance soon descended into chaos after the frontman, Kyle Falconer, threw a punch at bassist Kieren Webster.In fan-captured footage, which has since spread quickly across social media, Falconer appeared to punch the bassist in the face, before he is held back by his other bandmate and crew members.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In a movie career that stretches back 25 years, Jennifer Lopez has on occasion done flaked-out underworld thriller romance (“Out of Sight”), capery action (“Parker”) and revenge (“Enough”). Yet she has never placed herself at the center of such a down-and-dirty, grimly overwrought, execute-now-and-ask-questions-later B-movie as “The Mother.” I’m tempted to call the film “minimalist,” because if you consider its bare-bones screenplay (by three writers!), its convoluted utilitarian set-up, its 2D villains, and its essential formulaic momentum, it’s a prime example of action filmmaking made basic. Yet “The Mother” is a Netflix action movie, which means that it has a certain flavor of ambition mixed into its pulp stew. The movie, which should have been 90 minutes long (it’s 116), is lumpy and inflated, it’s sketchy yet a touch grandiose, and it’s full of tersely dramatized scenes that somehow feel overly broad. Lopez, as a military sniper turned broker of underground arms deals turned FBI informant turned savagely cool-headed protector of her 12-year-old daughter, is playing a badass not so far removed from those played by Jason Statham or (in his grade-B prime) Bruce Willis, and she’s up to the task. She shoots, she stabs, she chops windpipes, she motorcycles down stone stairways in one of those chase-through-an-ancient-city action scenes (this one takes place in Havana), she tortures a man by punching him with a fist wrapped in barb wire, she grimaces in muscle-torn agony but mostly looks frozen and implacable. Even more important, she puts her own spin on those familiar motions.

The Mother” is like a lot of Netflix action-dramas of late: A mix of different genres with hints of a darker, possibly richer story, that ended up being excised due to budget and/or time constraints. There is a lot of well-worn inspiration to be found in its familiar plot, from the survivalist parent/daughter relationship found in the 2011 feature “Hanna” to another Jennifer Lopez feature, 2018’s “Second Act” in which Lopez’s character is also at odds with a daughter she gave up at birth named Zoe. All of this is to say a film like “The Mother” shouldn’t work, and it doesn’t completely gel 100 percent.

Whoopi cushion. Whoopi Goldberg is done speaking about her fart incident on “The View,” claiming “there was never an issue” on Wednesday morning’s episode.“Before we get started, I want to put something to bed with the two of you [Sunny Hostin and Andy Cohen],” she said.

The View were left shocked last night (May 10) after a fight broke out onstage between two of the members.The sold-out show marked the first comeback show for the Dundee trio, and took place at The Deaf Institute in Manchester, where it soon descended into chaos.While performing, lead singer Kyle Falconer was seen getting increasingly frustrated while onstage, and ultimately throwing a punch at bassist Kieren Webster, who was celebrating his birthday at the gig.In the fan-captured footage — which has now been making the rounds on social media — Falconer appears to land a punch on Webster’s face, before he is held back by fellow bandmates and crew members. As the guitarist, Peter Reilly, intervenes in the conflict, the frontman can be heard shouting at the bassist, saying: I’ll fucking kill you”.
