‘The 355’ Review: Jessica Chastain, Sebastian Stan, and Penélope Cruz in a Vigorous Formula Action Spy Flick – Variety

It’s not usually a good idea to grade a movie on the curve of when it’s released. But in the case of “The 355,” one is tempted to make an exception and say: For a first-week-of-January thriller, it isn’t bad. Early January tends to be a dumping ground, because the prestige awards contenders are still opening wide; it’s when you’ll get a shark drama that’s too lousy to be a trashy summer movie. But “The 355” is a vigorous formula action spy flick with an out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire plot that mostly holds your attention, periodically revs the senses, and gives its actors just enough to work with to put a basic feminine spin on the genre. I make a point of that because the film does too. The heroines are a quartet of espionage veterans who come from different countries...

Peter Bogdanovich, Oscar-Nominated Director and Champion of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Dies at 82 – Hollywood Reporter

Peter Bogdanovich, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last Picture Show whose career, which also included hits like What’s Up, Doc? and Paper Moon, put him on a path toward living up to the example of those like Orson Welles and John Ford he so lionized, has died. He was 82. Bogdanovich died shortly after midnight Thursday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, his daughter Antonia Bogdanovich told The Hollywood Reporter. Bogdanovich, whose ever-present horn-rimmed glasses and ascot imbued him with a professorial air as he recounted the Hollywood lore he relished, catapulted to A-list status with his second film, The Last Picture Show (1971). The black-and-white drama set in a Texas town earned eight Academy Awards nominations — including directing a...

Hedgehogs had MRSA superbug long before antibiotics use, research finds – The Guardian

Medical research Animals thought to have developed the illness about 200 years ago after bacterial infections gained resistance to natural antibiotics PA Media Hedgehogs have been harbouring a type of the MRSA superbug since long before the use of antibiotics in humans and livestock, research suggests.Scientists have found evidence of the superbug arising in nature well before the use of the drugs, which have traditionally been blamed for its emergence.The spiky creatures carry a fungus and a bacteria on their skin, both of which are locked in a battle for survival. Antibiotics are secreted by the fungus to kill the bacteria but, in response, the bacteria has evolved antibiotic resistance – becoming Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Up to 60% of hedgehogs carry a type ...

Why COVID vaccine booster shots every six months won’t work – Deseret News

An Oxford scientist recently criticized the idea that the world’s population will continue to need COVID-19 vaccine booster shots every six months, saying it’s impossible to make that happen. Andrew Pollard, the director of the Oxford Vaccine Group and head of the U.K.’s Committee on Vaccination and Immunization, recently told The Daily Telegraph that the vaccine developers can’t keep up with the pace of COVID-19 booster shots. “We can’t vaccinate the planet every four to six months. It’s not sustainable or affordable,” said Pollard, who helped develop the Oxford-Astrazeneca COVID-19 vaccine. He said health officials “need to target the vulnerable” rather than give everyone vaccine shots and boosters. Pollard also told Sky News that vaccine rollouts every six months may keep...
