Zendaya and John David Washington ham it up entertainingly in a two-hander about a conceited director and his partner This two-hander from writer-director Sam Levinson starring John David Washington and Zendaya can be shouty, hammy and shrill, with handbrake-turn theatrical mood shifts. At its worst, it feels like an insufferable vanity project. But it’s pugnaciously well-acted, flavoured with vinegary insights and rage-filled denunciations, and a hilarious set piece of scorn about how awful film critics are. Malcolm (Washington) is a conceited young movie director and Marie (Zendaya) his (...) -- Film, Romance films, Drama films, John David Washington, Culture, Film industry

His reappearance would be a smart move It almost comes as a shock, in the era of Disney+ and multitudes of superheroes finding their way to the mouse house’s streaming Shangri-La, to recall that shows such as WandaVision and the forthcoming Loki will not be the first occasions we have seen Marvel’s costumed crimefighters on the small screen. Once upon a time it was ABC’s Agents of Shield and a quintet of New York-set Netflix shows, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and (...) -- Superhero movies, Marvel, Science fiction and fantasy films, Superhero TV, Spider-Man 3, Culture, Film, Netflix, Television & radio

13:56Britain's refusal to give the EU's ambassador full diplomatic status is a childish insult | Denis MacShane - Guardian Unlimited CommentThis petulant slight echoes a move by the Trump administration – one that it quickly saw fit to reverse Of all people in government Boris Johnson should be first to recognise the status of European Union representatives.

13:00When will the government break its silence over those who have died from Covid? | Billy Quilty - Guardian Unlimited CommentThe daily figures offer no insight into the grief suffered by the family and friends of the people lost to the pandemic Some 100,000 people have now died from Covid in the UK – almost one person in every 660. Such numbers are hard to comprehend. Several weeks ago, when 78,000 deaths had been recorded, BBC Newsnight anchor Kirsty Wark closed the programme with a video of the Olympic Stadium during the 2012 games, full to its 80,000 capacity, to demonstrate the scale of this loss.

12:14Our justice system is in crisis, so why not abolish jury trials? | Simon Jenkins - Guardian Unlimited CommentWith a huge backlog of cases due to Covid, it’s a chance to reform archaic and irrelevant court rituals A crisis can often be an opportunity. According to figures out this week, the court system in England and Wales is approaching collapse. Unlike hospitals and schools, courtrooms get no publicity.

More than half of England and Wales’s 410 courthouses are reported to be “unsafe” or out of use. As a result 12% of those incarcerated are on remand, and thousands of (...) -- UK criminal justice, Law, Barristers, UK news
