The Big Wedding – review
Weddings can often be occasions of trauma, as well as joy, and so it proves with this ensemble comedy. Well – minus the joy, that is. Adapted with tin ear and cack hands from a French farce, Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton star as divorced parents of adoptive son Ben Barnes. When he gets engaged to Amanda Seyfried (again playing a bride-to-be wrangling parents), he wants his birth mother to be at the nuptials. But she's a devout Catholic, and so De Niro and Keaton must pretend to still be married, despite his having shacked up with Susan Sarandon years back (a grisly early scene involves Keaton interrupting kitchen-table oral sex). Adding insult to injury are a subplot about sibling Topher Grace's unexplained vow of premarital chastity, and Robin Williams as, inevitably, a recovering alcoholic priest.
The Hangover Part III – review
They probably won't be putting "not as offensively racist as the last one" on the poster, but that's about as much praise as the (hopefully) final instalment of the blokey comedy franchise merits. It could have gone either way. The first was an unexpected delight, with its clever "what just happened?" structure (lifted from the underrated Dude, Where's My Car?); the second was an unimaginative replica, with anti-Asian jokes. Both elements are toned down this time, and if the racism isn't missed, the amnesiac-mystery device is. This is less a caper than a trudge; a linear adventure that proceeds in fits and starts, with few surprises and fewer laughs. There's barely even a hangover.

Cannes 2013: Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight – first look review
In 1967, Muhammad Ali was stripped of his world heavyweight title and sentenced to three years incarceration after ruling himself out of the Vietnam war. The appeal process dragged on for three years, through a good portion of his boxing prime, before it reached the supreme court. The fate of the era's most celebrated and contentious African-American was now in the hands of a gang of old, white patricians, few of whom would be likely to look on him kindly.

Angelina Jolie's revelation of her mastectomy is just the latest from a brave and dedicated woman
An article written by Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie provoked headlines around the world when she chose "not to keep my story private" and revealed she had undergone a double mastectomy to lower her risk of breast cancer, which was high due to her genetic inheritance. The impassioned letter, published in the New York Times, did not fit the stereotypical celebrity image. But Jolie's act of extraordinary courage didn't seem out of character at all to me. I already knew from my own experience that she was a woman of tremendous strength, focus and perseverance.
