Michael Jackson legacy under microscope in new film

Image
ALMOST 10 years after his sudden death, Michael Jackson’s legacy is under fresh scrutiny in a documentary about alleged child sex abuse that has been met with outrage by the singer’s family. Leaving Neverland features two men now in their 30s and 40s who say they were befriended by Jackson and sexually abused by him starting from when they were 7 and 10 years old. It will be aired on US channel HBO on March 3 and 4 and on Britain’s Channel 4 on March 6 and 7. Jackson’s family has attacked the film and the Thriller singer’s estate last week filed a lawsuit against HBO saying the documentary breached a 1992 agreement that the cable channel would not disparage him. “Michael Jackson is innocent. Period,” the estate said in the lawsuit. HBO said in a statement however it would go ahead with the four-hour documentary and “allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves. After the broadcast, HBO will air a conversation hosted by Oprah Winfrey wit...

Rise of a new superhero

Image
BRIE LARSON has come a long way since playing Toni Collette’s sarcastic and rebellious daughter in Showtime’s breakout drama United States of Tara . From winning an Academy Award in 2016 for her breakthrough lead performance in the film Room , Larson has landed more high-profile projects such as The Glass Castle , Kong: Skull Island , and the upcoming Victoria Woodhull , about the first female candidate for the presidency of the United States. However, playing Captain Marvel, arguably to be one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel comic universe, will put Larson in a different league altogether. The story is set in the 1990s. It follows the journey of former officer and Air Force test pilot Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races, the Kree and the Skrulls. A maverick and not easily controlled, Danvers has to find her true self and the right path as she strives to harn...

Glute and Hamstring Workout

Image
Jessica Gouthro from Paleohacks is joining us today to offer tips for strengthening glutes and hamstrings without traditional gym equipment. Enjoy, everyone. Strong glutes and hamstrings are more than just nice-looking legs and a booty. The glutes and hamstrings are the strongest muscles in our skeletal muscular system. When we strengthen these muscles, we can prevent strain and injury while also enjoying a greater ability to squat deeper, lunge pain-free, push heavy objects, run faster and jump higher. To best train those glutes and hamstrings, you’ll want to emphasize both leg curling (knee bending) and hip extension (or straightening) actions for balanced training. One of the best exercises that do this is the glute ham raise, or GHR. Very few exercises can isolate the hamstrings and glutes without top-loading excess weight on the spine or testing your grip strength with a loaded barbell. Although you may think this exercise looks easy in comparison to a Barbell Romanian Deadli...
