Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:55 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — D’Wayne Wiggins and Timothy Christian Riley didn’t realize that Raphael Saadiq was planting the seeds for a Tony! Toni! Toné! reunion when he arranged a photoshoot earlier this year.“He said a few times before, so we never paid that much attention to it until this fool put up a big-ass billboard in Oakland, and I had to see it through social media,” said vocalist and bass guitarist Wiggins, who wondered if the image was Photoshopped. “I thought someone was playing tricks, morphing our picture.”Saadiq, the lead singer and guitarist of the beloved R&B group, gathered the trio together, free of any outside influence.“I didn’t tell any of the managers or team or anybody because I just wanted it to be us. … I wanted to be in a room where the only power structure was one, two and three,” said Saadiq of his bandmates who are also family: Wiggins is his brother and Riley is their cousin. “We have to be us first before we could talk to anybody because that’s what happened...

Biden team weighs using State Department grants to fund weapons for Ukraine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:55 GMT

The Biden administration is considering using a State Department grant program to send additional military aid to Ukraine as Congress continues to battle over weapons funding, according to two U.S. officials with knowledge of the discussions.The White House is weighing a range of options as it scrambles to find additional money to support Ukraine after lawmakers stripped funding in a last-minute deal to avert a government shutdown, said the officials, who like others interviewed for this story were granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.President Joe Biden hinted at this strategy on Wednesday, saying “there is another means by which we may be able to find funding for that.” He declined to comment further.One of the officials said the president’s comments referred to “existing funding authorities” Congress previously gave the administration “that allow us to provide additional support to Ukraine for a bit longer if Congress doesn’t act.”One option under consideration is ...

‘The Storms of Jeremy Thomas’ a must for cinephiles

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:55 GMT

Urgent message to Boston-area cineastes: See “The Storms of Jeremy Thomas.” One of the most important and prolific producers of independent films, Thomas, who won a best picture Academy Award for “The Last Emperor” (1988), was born into the cinema. His father Ralph Thomas directed the “Doctor” film series with Dirk Bogarde; His uncle Gerald Thomas helmed the raucous and still popular “Carry On” films.“Prince” Jeremy paid his dues as an editor on such films as “The Harder They Come” (1972) and “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad” (1973). Thomas’ first effort as a producer was the Dennis Hopper vehicle “Mad Morgan” (1974), followed by the Jerzy Skolimowski Cannes award-winner “The Shout” (1978), the first of several collaborations with English actor John Hurt, including the great 1984 Stephen Frears’ gangster movie “The Hit.” Thomas was off like a rocket. He formed an artistic partnership with auteur Nicolas Roeg (Don’s Look Now”), beginning with the belatedly acclaimed “Ba...

‘Strange Way of Life’ Almodovar’s turn at gay Western

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:55 GMT

With “Brokeback Mountain” (2005) and more recently the overrated “The Power of the Dog” (2021), the gay Western has been born. One can rightly argue that many classic Westerns (and classic Western parodies) have always had powerful, in the case of the parodies, openly homoerotic currents.Now, the great Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar (“Talk to Her”), who turned down “Brokeback Mountain” all those years ago (it was directed by Ang Lee), tries his hand at the form with the 30-minute English-language short “Strange Way of Life.” The film, which takes its odd-sounding name from a famous fado song, is both moving and a bit baffling.Shot in Spain’s Andalusia region, “Strange Way of Life,” which was lensed by Almodovar regular Jose Luis Alcaine (“Volver”), certainly looks like a Western. But the film was sponsored by Saint Laurent, and at times you may ask yourself if that explains the presence of such beautifully laundered and folded undergarments and a stunningly green jacket wor...
