News about Kevin Maher

Film critics are praising a new thriller following its weekend premiere. The horror film debuted on the big screen at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in France on May 19 after being selected by the event's jury to compete for the Palme d'Or. The film features a star-studded cast, and has received positive reviews. It currently has a 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Exclusive biography of IAN HERBERT The details of Ron Martin's tenure as owner of Southend United - the winding petitions, the vociferous fans outside his house, and the toy rats thrown on the ground at home games - are so bad that you want to silence them when discussing them with him in the library of the five-star London hotel where he asks that we speak. Martin does not appear to be concerned about discretion, however. A man in the corner of the room feigns indignation in our discussion, but he does not leave his sofa once. And there's no wonder. Martin cruises his 25-year journey on the Essex coast, from beating Manchester United 1-0 in the League Cup to walking down his drive to greet demonstrators at the end of it. He wants to celebrate the good times. He skates gracefully and gracefully over the bad.

ON THE ROAD: Did you bring your boots?' As Mail Sport wanders down the tunnel at Roots Hall, one steward jokes. Southend United are so depleted, they've only named two replacements for the tour of Chesterfield, the National League champions who haven't lost in their last 13 outings. The door to the home dressing room is open, and the players, who are semi-clad as they are changed, are listening to Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis. Despite the fact that TNT Sport cameras are in town to tell the Southend story, there is no sense of nerves in this impoverished group. It's a sad tale for such a warm and historic institution. Since September 2022, they have been subjected to a transfer ban. They were suspended ten points at the start of this season after failing to clear a £275,000 HMRC loan. Despite losing three players to international call-ups - Noor Husin for Afghanistan, Daniel Kanu for Sierra Leone, and Mauro Vilhete for Sao Tome and Principe, they were refused on Saturday's game postponed.

The film, which has been released today, follows a sequence of murders committed against members of the Osage Nation after oil was discovered on their Oklahoma property in the 1920s. It's based on David Grann's nonfiction bestseller and takes up nearly three and a half hours and cost Apple $200 million to make. Its current iteration has a star cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, one of the lauded newcomers, but Scorsese's most recent offerings has yet to please any reviewer. Kevin Maher of the Times gave the film two actors out of five, naming it a 'dud' and "not good' partly due to the film's "paper-thin characters.'

According to a source, EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Sixteen weeks after his Coronation, King Charles has radically reframed his late mother's notion of the 'Family Company,' including Senior Princes, Working Royals, Non-Working Royals, and Others. According to reports, the Others are Andrew, Harry, and Meghan, with Andrew getting preferential treatment over the Sussexes. He was allowed to attend Edward at the one-year memorial service at St George's Chapel in Windsor, but Harry, who was on the same day, refused to obtain permission to pay his respects at her tomb.

Harley Quinn, Naomi Lapaglia, Tonya Harding, and several other characters appeared before Margot Robbie as "Barbie." Robbie is unquestionable, and although facing the role of a legendary children's toy isn't on her resume, it's clear she was delighted she took a chance on the role. Robbie talked to Vogue a month before the role's highly awaited July 2023 debut of "Barbie" was released, explaining how playing the role never even crossed her mind. "I never wanted to play Barbie, or was afraid of being Barbie, or something like that," she said. "This is going to sound stupid, but I didn't even think about playing Barbie until years into the project's development."

LEWIS STEELE AT ROOTS HALL: There was one common word on Southend United supporters' lips during the desperation, mistrust, and adoring rage at a tragic situation caused by a greedy chairman. In 23 days, a club steeped in 116 years of history, 101 of those in the Football League, could go out of business and a neighborhood brimming with love for it would be desolate. 'A football team is like your family; you change your career or spouse, but the players are always there,' said one fan. 'To have it taken away from us would break my heart.'

Paul Scholes? On Saturday, the chances were that he was watching Manchester United on television at his house north of the city and wondering when he'd be able to get to the point of knowing all that he knows. We only see Scholes (pictured) on television these days, or read about him in the sports news. For example, his remarks on United's home loss by Brighton this week drew our interest last week through a social media post.

During Southend United's 1-0 loss to Boreham Wood, time-wasting reached new heights last weekend, with the ball up for just 36 minutes in play. This follows Sportsmail columnist Ian Ladyman's article about "endemic cheating and time-wasting" in English football, which is 'getting worse'. Chris Phillips, a Southend Echo reporter who tweeted his dissatisfaction with the lack of open play in the National League match, sparked the lack of play.
