thedailymirror--2020-01-31--A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood review: Tom Hanks disarming in soulful family drama

Tom Hanks is at his most disarming and subtle as a real-life US TV icon in this soulful , therapeutic and irresistible family drama .
We ’ re not familiar with the saintly Fred Rogers over here , but for 33 years he hosted a Play Away-style kids show , and the film suggests he was so popular and beloved that he was capable of inspiring an impromptu sing-along on the subway simply by sitting there .
However , Matthew Rhys ’ s cynical investigative journalist is hoping to uncover some dirt beneath Rogers ’ spotless halo .
This seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seems remarkably old-fashioned , even in 1998 when the film is set , and particularly as some TV stars of my 1970s ’ childhood have been revealed to be far from wholesome .
Rhys is full of barely suppressed anger , which boils when he finds himself on the end of a gentle inquisition from Rogers regarding his own estranged relationship with his father and the difficulties of bonding with his baby son .
And you have to feel sorry for the actor as the superb Hanks quietly steals the film from him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nod with his sixth Oscar nomination .
An avuncular , polite , generous and humble dispenser of wisdom , Rogers often feels like a distant relative of Hanks ’ 1995 Oscar-winning role as Forrest Gump .
And intent on bringing out the best in everyone he meets , he ’ s essentially an American Paddington Bear , but without the marmalade sandwiches .
Directed with a firm , sensitive and accomplished hand by Marielle Heller , she drives the movie from the back seat and allows the actors to hold our attention .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ her staging and camerawork are in their own way as impressive as those seen in the First World War film 1917 , and she deploys the power of silence with a nuclear emotional efficiency .
Plus , the TV theme tune is impossibly catchy , so you ’ ll be humming it on the way out of the cinema through your tears .

With a performance that won him a Best Supporting Actor nod with his sixth Oscar nomination, Tom Hanks plays polite, generous and humble dispenser of wisdom Fred Rogers like a distant relative of Forrest Gump
Tom Hanks is at his most disarming and subtle as a real-life US TV icon in this soulful, therapeutic and irresistible family drama.
We’re not familiar with the saintly Fred Rogers over here, but for 33 years he hosted a Play Away-style kids show, and the film suggests he was so popular and beloved that he was capable of inspiring an impromptu sing-along on the subway simply by sitting there.
However, Matthew Rhys’s cynical investigative journalist is hoping to uncover some dirt beneath Rogers’ spotless halo.
This seems a fair proposition as the cardigan-wearing Rogers seems remarkably old-fashioned, even in 1998 when the film is set, and particularly as some TV stars of my 1970s’ childhood have been revealed to be far from wholesome.
Rhys is full of barely suppressed anger, which boils when he finds himself on the end of a gentle inquisition from Rogers regarding his own estranged relationship with his father and the difficulties of bonding with his baby son.
And you have to feel sorry for the actor as the superb Hanks quietly steals the film from him, earning himself a Best Supporting Actor nod with his sixth Oscar nomination.
An avuncular, polite, generous and humble dispenser of wisdom, Rogers often feels like a distant relative of Hanks’ 1995 Oscar-winning role as Forrest Gump.
And intent on bringing out the best in everyone he meets, he’s essentially an American Paddington Bear, but without the marmalade sandwiches.
Directed with a firm, sensitive and accomplished hand by Marielle Heller, she drives the movie from the back seat and allows the actors to hold our attention.
Though far less needy and attention-grabbing, her staging and camerawork are in their own way as impressive as those seen in the First World War film 1917, and she deploys the power of silence with a nuclear emotional efficiency.
Plus, the TV theme tune is impossibly catchy, so you’ll be humming it on the way out of the cinema through your tears.

He added: “High heels, shoe inserts or similar devices are certainly options to appear taller, but are obviously temporary and artificial.
“Human growth hormones (HGH) are also a common growth method among adolescents, which are permanent, but do not result in significant growth compared to cosmetic limb-lengthening. All things considered, nothing else can change your height.”
The rise in limb-lengthening surgery comes shortly after a study by dating app OkCupid found that many men lie about their height on dating apps.
In the study, OkCupid looked at the reported heights of its US users, and compared the data to the average heights of men across the US.
The results revealed that male users exaggerate their height by an average of two inches!

thedailymirror--2020-02-03--Girl, 4, mistaken for toddler due to rare disease affecting just 30 people worldwide

A four-year-old girl is often mistaken for a toddler due to a rare disease affecting just 30 people worldwide .
Violet Cocking still wears clothes designed to fit an 18 month old - and is only a few inches taller than her four-month-old sister , Ada .
Mum Charlotte Cocking , 32 , was concerned about her size from birth , but says medics were unable to find a cause for two and a half years .
But after months of turmoil , a genetic test revealed Violet from St. Ives , Cornwall , had microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both parents .
Charlotte and her husband Robert , 43 , unknowingly carried the dwarfism gene which meant Violent inherited the same defective gene from both .
Charlotte , who is a bartender said : `` People assume Violet is a toddler so when I tell them her real age , they look at me with a very confused expression .
`` Violet has settled well into reception but requires extra support - she has a really good friend called Willow who looks out for her .
`` She is 3ft 8in , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a pretty average height for a four-year-old but their height does n't stop them from being the best of friends . ''
Violet was born at 36 weeks yet she looked smaller than ever and weighed 2lb 15oz .
Charlotte added : `` She was kept in NICU as she was unable to feed and could only stomach 50ml of milk a day - the equivalent to a double shot in barmaid terms .
`` As the months passed , she barely grew , and I became very concerned that she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She was n't much bigger than a pint glass at three-months old .
`` Even now she wears specially made shoes which are a size two and a half for babies .
`` But periodically she was fine , we had genetic and blood tests with the NHS but the results were never abnormal - but I knew something was wrong .
`` I researched the living hell out of her characteristics - she had curved fingers and puffy feet along with a really small head .
`` Dwarfism always popped up in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was being daft until we had another test that involved a saliva swab from me , Rob and Violet , when she was two and a half .
`` We were over the moon to finally a diagnosis that revealed she has a rare form of an already rare form of dwarfism . ''

Violet is still currently reaching all her milestones and despite her development being delayed , she did learn how to walk seven months ago .
Charlotte said : `` I ca n't help but feel like I wasted the first year of Violet 's life obsessing with what is wrong with her .
`` I feel guilty , but I was desperate to get an answer which is when I came across the charity Facebook group .

`` Her speech is behind and can be hard for others to understand and she can only walk a short distance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
Charlotte feared her second daughter Ada , now four months , may have the same condition but a Chorionic villus sampling at 11 weeks confirmed she was born without .
She adds : `` I was a nervous wreck waiting for the results with Ada , as we would n't be able to cope with another disabled child .

Crime and terror attacks are used by politicians to score points with the public. But they don't tell you the real cause is the laws they wrote, and the things they've done
The problem is not why the Streatham attacker was back on the streets. What we need to know is why prison made him worse, and how to fix it
In 2003, our biggest problem was invading Iraq.
A dossier had been published which said Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons. Millions protested against the conflict, worldwide. But our MPs voted for it and so off our troops went, that March, to a war which was declared over in May.

Two years later, we voted that government back in. We voted for Tony Blair, who had helped end our biggest terror threat in Northern Ireland, for tax cuts, and did not ask too many questions about Iraq.
But his war spread. Ageing dictators were toppled across the Arab world, religious fundamentalists moved to seize power, and in 2013 a new Prime Minister called a vote on whether to wage war, once again, to rid Syria of its tyrant.
This time, because of Iraq, our MPs voted against.
