‘Penguin Bloom’ Review: Naomi Watts Elevates an Otherwise Flat Drama with a Magpie’s Help

Prince Harry’s appearance at the NFL Super Bowl has been branded an “overkill display” to show off his “new life” to the royals, according to a body language expert.The Duke of Sussex was spotted on camera watching the highlight of the American football calendar as the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals at the SoFi Stadium in California on Sunday (February 13). Harry was not with his wife Meghan Markle but his cousin Princess Eugenie joined him to watch the event, as he showed her his new life as a private citizen in the USA.Body language expert Judi James watched how Harry and Eugenie interacted at the game and said it “emphasises a friendship that has looked strong for years.”She believes Harry looked "proud as punch" as he took Eugenie to the event.Speaking to the Express, Ms James said: "Harry’s leg splay and his almost overkill display of relaxation suggests he’s enjoying showing off his new life to his baseball-capped cousin."Her eye-smile and her rather tentative hand-touch to her own leg suggest she’s suitably excited and impressed by the occasion." Ms James continued to say that Harry should be showing more of his royal relatives around his US home, including his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, but reported tensions have not seen that happen.

Neil Young has spoken out over a developing conspiracy theory that his music publishing is overseen by pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer – the company behind one of the most widely-used COVID-19 vaccines.In a since-deleted letter posted to his Neil Young Archives website (as transcribed by Stereogum), Young addressed the circulated belief his views on vaccines were dictated to him by Pfizer – who, according to the conspiracy theory, own Young’s music publishing.The misunderstanding stems from the fact that a former CEO at Pfizer now serves as a senior advisor for asset manager Blackstone, which currently has a partnership with music publisher Hipgnosis – with whom Young presently works.Young described the conspiracy theory as “clever but wrong” in the letter, while also quipping “so much for Pharm Aid” – a reference to both the common conspiracy theory trope of “big pharma” and his own charity Farm Aid.“The publishing share Hipgnosis has in my copyrights is in the Hipgnosis Songs Fund, that is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange,” Young explained.“The Blackstone investment went into a separate Hipgnosis Private Fund, and none of that money was used for the Hipgnosis Songs Fund. Pfizer has not invested in Hipgnosis, but a past Pfizer CEO is a senior advisor for Blackstone.” The conspiracy theory is part of an ongoing conservative backlash against Young – most recently expressed by right-wing American rock musician Ted Nugent, who described Young as a “stoner birdbrain punk” for his recent protest against Spotify and Joe Rogan.Young removed his catalogue of albums from Spotify last month to protest the platform having Rogan’s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience as an exclusive to the service.

Naomi Watts said co-starring with a live magpie in Penguin Bloom at first gave her the jitters. "That made me nervous.

“Penguin Bloom” may star Naomi Watts, Andrew Lincoln and Jacki Weaver, but it’s the film’s scene-stealing birds that are nabbing all the attention — including from the stars themselves.

Gregg Goldstein Naomi Watts and director Phillip Noyce are joining forces for the thriller “Lakewood,” set to begin filming Sept. 16 in Ontario under strict COVID-19 protocols.The film, written by Chris Sparling (“Buried,” “Greenland”) and produced by Boies/Schiller’s Zack Schiller and David Boies, Limelight’s Dylan Sellers and Chris Parker, Untapped’s Andrew Corkin, star Watts for Jam Tart Films and Stratagem’s Alex Lalonde, has echoes from today’s headlines.“Lakewood” follows a mother (Watts) who desperately races against time to save her child as authorities place her small town on lockdown.The run-up to filming “Lakewood” was nearly as suspenseful.

Rarely does a logline predict a viewer's response as accurately as in Glendyn Ivin's Penguin Bloom. If the following summary sounds to you like a good way to spend an hour and a half —nursing a rescued bird helps a newly paralyzed mother move past self-pity and rejoin her happy family — you'll be moved.

“Mom’s not the same person she once was,” narrates adolescent Noah Bloom (Griffin Murray-Johnston) over the coda of “Penguin Bloom.” He continues, “She’s not the person she wanted to be, but for me, she’s so much more than that.” This is ultimately the place at which any movie centered around the experience of living with a disability should arrive, acknowledging that the paralyzing fall endured by Sam Bloom (Naomi Watts) does not mark the end of life as she knew it but rather a reconstitution of it.

Naomi Watts left fans open-mouthed after sharing an unbelievable video to Instagram in which she’s totally unrecognisable. The Australian star, 51, who is known for her natural beauty, looked anything but in her latest social media post. However, the horrifying results thankfully aren’t permanent as it was just a filter changing up her look. Not that it made her appearance any less scary.
