‘The Uprising’ Review: Andrew Garfield and Paul Greengrass Go Medieval on the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, With Uneven Results
Among medieval hand-held farming tools, the sickle is your best bet for reaping. It's also just the thing for deadly weaponry in times of a peasant revolt, especially one momentous enough to earn capital letters and its own year marker — the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, for instance. In "The Uprising," which doesn't quite come together but has its earnest compensations, a stoic Andrew Garfield is first seen in a field against a smudge of gray sky, his farmland barely producing a crop.

‘In the Grey’ Review: Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill and Eiza Gonzalez Magazine-Cover Their Way Through Guy Ritchie’s Attractive Time-Killer
Guy Ritchie is a filmmaker and series creator whose prodigious busyness in terms of both workload and story approach has its compensations. It’s foolish to expect what is so rarely a part of Ritchie’s subset of heist movies, from early ones like “Snatch” a generation ago, through to his latest, “In the Grey.” In these films you won’t find much on the inside of what used to be known as “characters.” The surfaces, the outsides, are all.

The Indian Ocean islanders who were pummeled by history—and now by Trump, too
Michael M. Phillips TOMBEAU BAY, Mauritius—Over centuries, the people of the remote Chagos Archipelago have been battered by forces beyond their control. Slavery. Colonialism. The Cold War. Now they can add President Trump's whims to the list. The Chagossians have lived in limbo since being evicted from the Indian Ocean islands in the 1960s and 1970s to create a buffer around the secret U.S.-U.K. military base on Diego Garcia.

Most of us can say that we have the odd vinted or charity shop item in our wardrobe and don’t we just love to tell people (even though sometimes they haven’t even asked).
