'Bad Teacher' - A Wannabe 'Bad Santa'

“Bad Teacher” so desperately wants to be a devious black comedy like “Bad Santa” but for teachers. Depressingly, it doesn’t even come close to reaching such devilishly hilarious heights. Despite some good laughs sprinkled throughout, this movie is a surprising bore with few surprises up its sleeve. You can see things coming long in advance, and the punch line deflates very quickly. Cameron Diaz,…

Lessons in Chemistry (prod. Lee Eisenberg).

Apple's miniseries adaptation of Bonnie Garmus' bestselling debut novel stars Brie Larson as a chemist turned television cooking host in a simplified dramatization of the female empowerment movement in midcentury Southern California. How it weaves in a reluctant romance, academic politics, and Civil Rights through its Black characters never quite entirely works together episodically.

‘Jury Duty,’ Please Drop All 17 Days of Unaired Footage

Here’s a sentence I by no means thought I’d kind: I would like extra Jury Duty in my life. As somebody who’s been summoned for jury responsibility thrice in a single decade, I used to be deeply uninterested after I first heard Amazon Freevee was making a docu-series exploring the American judicial course of via the eyes of a jury. Only after studying the collection was created by The Office…

lessons in chemistry director had this to say about lewis:

“Lewis was only supposed to be in I think two or three episodes, but because he was so magnetic and watchable, we felt like this was the heart of the show. Lee [Eisenberg], being the really smart showrunner and flexible writer that he is, saw what the universe was giving him and pivoted to make sure that we could keep him longer.”

The Graham Norton Show: Irish TV star leads this week's stacked line-up

The Graham Norton Show is back on our screens this week with another typically excellent line-up in store for viewers.

Norton will be joined by a beloved Irish actress on Friday night's show, while the Cork presenter will also be chatting to a former James Bond, along with the stars of one of the year's most acclaimed films.

If you plan on tuning in, here's the line-up for Friday's Graham Norton Show.

Leading this week's star-studded line-up is Galway actress Nicola Coughlan, who is set to appear in this year's Doctor Who Christmas special.

The upcoming festive special will see the Derry Girls and Bridgerton actress play Joy, who checks into a London hotel in 2024, only to discover that her quiet stay is anything but ordinary. When Joy opens a secret doorway to the Time Hotel, she discovers danger, dinosaurs and the Doctor.

Nicola has described appearing in the Doctor Who Christmas Special as 'a huge honour', adding: "I'm excited to join the Whoniverse under the leadership of the inimitable Russell T Davies.

"I've been a fan of Ncuti Gatwa for some time and getting to share the screen with him as the Doctor has been an absolute joy."

Adapted from the William S. Burroughs' novella of the same name, Craig stars as William Lee, an American living in 1950s Mexico City, who becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton, another much younger expatriate.

Rounding out this week's line-up are Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg and Emmy winner Kieran Culkin, who star in the new road comedy A Real Pain.

Eisenberg, known for his roles in such films as The Social Network and Zombieland, wrote and directed the acclaimed new comedy drama, which follows two mismatched cousins who reunite for a tour through Poland to honour their beloved grandmother.

Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show will also feature live music from British girl-group FLO, who will perform their single In My Bag.

The Graham Norton Show will air on BBC One at 11.10pm this Friday (December 13). https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/graham-norton-show-friday-lineup-34295232

The Verdict Is In: James Marsden Is Perfect In ‘Jury Duty’

In Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty, a comedic gem from The Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, James Marsden is as soon as once more completely solid. Marsden has dazzled as “the opposite man” in The Notebook, Cyclops in X-Men, a prince in Enchanted, a set of twins with a whole lot of baggage in Dead To Me, and extra. But his newest position on Jury Duty — which I argue is considered one…

LEZIONI DI CHIMICA (Bonnie Garmus)

La cucina è chimica e la chimica è vita. La capacità di cambiare tutto, compresi se stessi, comincia da qui.

Elizabeth Zott è magnetica e bella: ha un modo schietto di esprimere il proprio pensiero, che scende come una lama sulla superficie molle della morale comune.

Siamo nel 1952, ed Elizabeth è una giovane chimica che lavora all’Hastings Research Institute in California, un ambiente ferocemente maschilista dove il suo innegabile talento viene per lo più messo a tacere, sabotato, o usato per il prestigio altrui; malgrado le difficoltà, il coraggio di rivendicare diritti e successi non viene scalfito e spinge Elizabeth a perseverare.

C’è solo un uomo che ammira la sua determinazione: è Calvin Evans: genio della chimica, con il quale nasce un sentimento puro in cui condivisione delle formule e attrazione fisica vanno di pari passo.

La vita, però, come la scienza, è soggetta a trasformazioni, e qualche anno dopo la tempra di Elizabeth, ora madre single, folgora un produttore televisivo che le affida la conduzione di Cena alle sei, un programma di cucina che nelle sue mani diventa un appuntamento quotidiano immancabile per il grande pubblico.

Il suo approccio rivoluzionario ai fornelli, infarcito di digressioni scientifiche, non mira solo alla preparazione di stufati, ma anche ad aprire gli occhi all’universo femminile.

Lezioni di chimica è la storia di una donna che cade e si rialza più volte: un’esistenza che ribalta gli schemi e costruisce un nuovo percorso, nonostante tutto.

𝗟𝗲𝘇𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶 𝗱𝗶 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮 (Lessons in Chemistry) è anche una miniserie televisiva statunitense ideata da Lee Eisenberg, tratta dall'omonimo romanzo di Bonnie Garmus, con Brie Larson nel ruolo della chimica Elizabeth Zott che inizia a presentare un programma di cucina nell'America degli anni '60.

La miniserie è stata distribuita da Apple TV+ dal 13 ottobre al 22 novembre 2023.
