Movie Review: Lou
A storm rages. A young girl is kidnapped. Her mother teams up with the mysterious woman next door to pursue the kidnapper, a journey that tests their limits and exposes shocking secrets from their pasts.
The film starts with a mother, Hannah, playing hide-and-seek with her young daughter, Vee, outside their home. Lou, the landlady and loner living with her dog Jax, stops by to say the rent is due the next day. While in the village buying some supplies, Lou talks to the sheriff about her arthritis. He tells her a copper bracelet could help her condition.
Expecting a large storm, Chris, Hannah’s male friend, offers to bring supplies. He picks up a hitchhiker, who ends up killing him in his van. The hitchhiker cuts power to Hannah’s home, and, while she is outside trying to restore power, he kidnaps Vee and flees with her on foot. Hannah runs to Lou’s house, interrupts her suicide attempt, and tells her Vee is missing. Lou’s truck blows up due to a bomb set by the hitchhiker. Hannah and Lou set off tracking him and Vee into the night during the storm.
Hannah knows who took her daughter—her ex-husband Phillip (Logan Marshall-Green). It’s revealed that Phillip was not just an abusive husband to Hannah but faked his own death so he could get to his daughter under the cover of being presumed dead. Phillip is not your ordinary sociopath—he was a special forces soldier, and he even brought along a couple of his buddies to help with the kidnapping. All of them underestimated Lou. Of course.
Once Lou and Hannah get out into the torrential rain, “Lou” should have had momentum as a survival thriller. And there’s a great action scene in a cabin wherein the title character unleashes her training on a couple of dudes who don’t see it coming. With some tight fight choreography that Janney completely sells, I was ready for the film to build from there.
Go watch the full movie for a really good movie with twists you couldn’t see coming. Enjoy.
Police were called to Rihanna’s home on Thursday (23.03.23) after a man arrived at the house with the intention of proposing to the singer.
The unnamed guy had travelled from South Carolina to Los Angeles and walked up the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker’s house but was almost immediately stopped by her security team.
After telling them of his intentions, the staff called cops and the officers handcuffed the man, put hi in a squad car and had a “serious chat about his intentions”, TMZ reports.
It was determined the man hadn’t broken any laws but he was asked to leave and told not to return.
It is unclear if pregnant Rihanna – who has a 10-month-old son with partner A$AP Rocky – was at home at the time.
This isn’t the first time an unwanted visitor has been to her house.
In 2018, a guy named Eduardo Leon spent 12 hours inside Rihanna’s house last May before he was found by the 35-year-old singer’s assistant.
When he was arrested by police, he claimed he intended on having sex with Rihanna – who was not home at the time – though he insisted he would not have done it without her consent.
He later pleaded guilty to stalking, vandalism and resisting arrest and was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to participate in a Office of Diversion and Re-entry (ODR) programme, which is designed for offenders who have “mental health and/or substance use disorders, including persons who are homeless”.
Rihanna was also granted a criminal protection order against him.
Meanwhile, in 2015, investigators questioned a man who had sent the ‘Umbrella’ singer death threats and taken selfies outside her mansion, whilst in 2014, police in New York arrested a man after he showed up at her SoHo home to deliver notes to the star, after having already sent multiple letters to her Los Angeles address.
Former Miss Universe Kenya Rachel Mbuki has announced the end of her marriage from her Russian husband, Dmitry Litvishkova.
The multi-talented personality, made the announcement on Instagram expressing her regret on the decision and adding that she would be filing for divorce.
“It is with much regret that I announce that my husband and I have come to the tough decision to end our marriage. We are currently separated, and I am filing for divorce,” Mbuki wrote.
The US-based beauty queen also appealed for privacy as she navigated the tough season, asking the public for their ‘kindness and consideration’.
Mbuki also thanked her close friends and family for their support and acknowledged that the announcement came as a shock to them.
The shocking divorce comes after 15 years of being together and their colourful wedding in Hawaii after eloping during the pandemic in 2020.
