![]() ![]() Alfred Hitchcock knew how to make a film, a pity a few of these over hyped directors, don't have a rethink on what it takes to entertain an audience. Better script writers & screen story tellers are so important,yet it seems that simplicity is being substituted by muddled messy big budget effects, all for the sake of being so much cleverer than the dumb audience. Dalton trumbo please help us as today's science fiction big budget films are in the main failing to be anything like as entertaining as they should be. I was disappointed and found the first film so much better than this big budget fare. Sitting through 150 minutes of drama, yet struggling to make sense of it, seems to me that the maker failed in the business of screen story telling. A straight forward plot, with a flowing script would have a made a huge difference. This sequel looks fantastic, and the performances are great, yet something is missing. The original was complex, but yet simple to understand, and as the plot unfolds, the story engages you through the film. Plenty of raving reviews, but I do not agree with the masterpiece verdict by many reviewers.

![]() There are the otherworldly untouchables who appear to hover tantalizingly out of reach (Beyoncé, Lady Gaga), and the seemingly fully knowables who feel just an arm’s length away (Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus). Pop stardom is a high-wire act on the continuum between fantasy and reality, spectacle and authenticity, escaping and relating. The film and album are part of a comeback attempt that puts a core part of the Demi Lovato proposition to the test: How honest can she really be? She reveals excruciating details about a history of sexual assault, self-harm and family trauma, one troubling scenario colliding into another like dominoes. Ratner - and doesn’t gloss over the ugliest realities. Lovato’s film, which follows “Simply Complicated” in 2017, is all tension - 90-plus minutes of mostly interviews directed by Michael D. She got her start on kids’ TV and made the tricky leap to adult stardom, releasing six albums (two platinum, four gold), serving as a judge on “The X Factor,” acting on “Glee” and “Will & Grace” and amassing 100 million Instagram followers - all while managing an eating disorder since she was a child, drug addiction that started in her teens, coming out as queer and the constant pressure of being an exceptionally famous person.ĭocumentaries from pop stars about themselves have become a cottage industry, but most feel like sanitized marketing tools and grasp for friction, like the stress of fame or loneliness. Lovato, the 28-year-old singer, songwriter, actress and budding activist who has been in show business since she was 6 and a household name since her teens, is not just adaptable - she is one of the most resilient pop cultural figures of her time. “I didn’t leave myself time to really feel sad about it. “It was interesting how fast I adapted,” she said in a recent interview. Blind spots made it nearly impossible to see head-on, so she peered at her phone through her peripheral vision and typed using voice notes. It took about two months to recover enough sight to read a book, and she passed the time catching up on 10 years’ worth of sleep, playing board games or taking a single lap around the hospital floor for exercise. I couldn't go with Ding Dong or Siyabonga so I decided let me cut everything else and go with my initials DSK.Demi Lovato woke up legally blind in an intensive care unit after the July 2018 drug overdose that nearly killed her. He gave me the name Siyabonga and that's when I changed from Mokebe to Khumalo. Others called me Podesta and Siyabonga is my grandfather's name. “ When I grew up people would call me Ding Dong. It was a tough choice between DSK and his other names while growing up in Katlehong. He said he had to toy around with the name for a while. I needed some therapy in my life and amapiano is the perfect therapy for me.” It's an authentic South African sound, and the shows I'm doing are too hectic. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, the Muvhango star said venturing into amapiano was a way for him to destress. He features Bhubesi on their single Gabadiya. He is launching his music career in the amapiano genre and goes by the name DSK. ![]() ![]() He has played very serious roles on TV, from his character James Motsamai on Muvhango to presenting Speak Out and Mamazala, but Dingaan is ready for Mzansi to see his playful nature. ![]() Actor and TV presenter Dingaan Khumalo has ditched the “Mr Serious” hat he believes Mzansi has boxed him under. |
