Union Square feels like an extended acting exercise
Starring Mira Sorvino and Tammy Blanchard. Rating unavailable.
In Union Square, Mira Sorvino comes on like a hurricane with killer heels and bad highlights, screeching "Fuck you!" and making fake kissy-kissies into her cellphone. Think larger-than-life Real Housewife of Jersey Shore.
The key to Nancy Savoca's no-budget chamber piece is somehow putting up with the character's annoying antics until the movie's moving third act, when we finally start to see the real person behind the streaky mascara.
Sorvino's Lucy has arrived in Manhattan from the Bronx to meet up with a guy, but when that goes bad, she turns up at the pristine condo of her sister Jenny (Tammy Blanchard). They haven't seen each other for three years, and no wonder: Jenny, about to marry her partner in a whole-foods company, has done just about everything to erase her past. And when Hurricane Lucy descends on her home, the contrast is amusing. Jenny speaks in whispery tones and has conniptions when her sister alternately pulls out cigarettes and a small poodle from her bag.
With its claustrophobic indoor setting, Union Square can feel like an extended acting exercise, and Sorvino sometimes takes things a little further over the top than needed. For on-point moments, note her reaction to Jenny and hubby Bill's curried-tofu dinner. But things become more compelling when Savoca subtly starts to reveal the sisters' secrets—ones they keep from each other, their partners, and even themselves. And you'll start to wonder if the unhinged one is the woman in the muted yogawear instead of the cougar in the suffocating miniskirts.
After all the screaming and crying, the message that comes through is surprisingly quiet and meaningful. Family is family—even when your sibling happens to take her fashion cues from Snooki and her manners from The Sopranos.
Watch the trailer for Union Square.

Realising that choosing a party to vote for was a bit like finding a life partner, Lali van Zuydam decided to go on a dating spree with representatives of the organisations that will contest the May 7 elections. This time she met up with Lesego Makhubela, the regional co-ordinator of the ANC Youth League.
Pretoria - I have been waiting for the date that would leave me blushing. I expected at least one of my potential romantic partners to make me blush in my mission to date political parties.
About a month ago, I set out to find a long term, stable political partner who is raceless and who will provide me with sustainable opportunities now and in the future.
This will help me decide who to give my vote to on May 7.
Four dates into my great dating adventure, I met the bad boy – and boy did he leave me blushing.
Do I even need to mention that date number four was with the ANC?
I met 27-year-old Lesego Makhubela, the regional co-ordinator of the ANC Youth League.
I call him the bad boy because he's the one with the power at the moment.
He's confident. He's bombastic – not to mention charming and charismatic.
He leads the conversation and answers my questions before I even ask them.
He tells me he wants someone vibrant, who isn't afraid to express themselves.
He's looking for someone dynamic and robust. His dream partner must appreciate their history and look forward to the future.
He's not afraid of being criticised.
"I don't want someone who is blindly loyal. I want someone who can question and criticise what I am doing and tell me when they don't agree," he said.
He wants us to have conversations and debates about the important issues in our relationship.
He is looking for someone of the same calibre as Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and Oliver Tambo.
Considering I'm a girl, let's say Sophie de Bruyn or Helen Suzman – but I understand what he means.
"I want an all-rounder, someone critical, analytical and conscious of what is happening in the world. I'm not looking for skin colour," he said.
He doesn't want someone who will fall for someone who buys them T-shirts and gives them handouts.
He said young people, like me, were the cornerstone of society and owed our freedom to young people who came before us. Just think of June 16, 1976.
He said our past left indelible marks on us that would be difficult to forget.
Our past will haunt us until inequalities are abolished. That's fair even though I don't feel as much affected by the past.
Luckily, we can do something to fix what is broken. We can create a colour-blind society through our actions.
"We have to start dating each other. We need to get out there and mingle. It is our responsibility as young people and we are slowly getting there," he said.
He said I should not fall in love with him for his skin colour, rather for the "content of his character".
"You will like me because I'm charismatic and I make you smile," he said.
This is where the blushing and giggling started.
"You and I have to turn the tide and say enough is enough," he said about racial stereotypes and discrimination.
It certainly won't be easy, but that's what I want as well.
He said I could be assured there would be fights and protests but that would give us the opportunity to lead and intervene where necessary.
It would strengthen our relationship.
He said we should encourage dialogue where possible.
He has invested a lot in education, he tells me.
"I have always been clear about one thing. I am always working towards preparing the youth for the future," he said.
He claims to have spent a massive amount of money on education. But as the one in power he has to spend a lot on the future of people like me.
Regarding my potential father-in-law, my date had no criticism. He's the best father he's ever had, he tells me.
Here we hit a snag in the date and the blushing stopped (thankfully).
He kept dodging my questions about a certain "fire pool".
He defended "his father" by saying he was not aware what it would cost to have the "security" upgraded at his house.
I don't fall for it but he maintains his side of the story. Maybe we don't have to agree on everything.
He was convinced I would choose him as my partner.
What do they say about girls always liking the bad boy?
Still, there are more dates to be had before I can decide who to commit myself to. I however giggled when he said his party would be around "until Jesus Christ comes".

Visitors to a city attraction will be treated to an historic view of Roman York.
Set within the cellar waiting room of Treasurer's House, on Minster Yard, the model tells the story of the site's connections to the ancient past.
The room was recently developed to tell this hidden history of the city's ancient roots, and will tell the story of Harry Martindale, an apprentice engineer who claims he experienced ghostly sightings of a Roman army while working in the Treasurer's House cellar in 1953.
To find out more about Harry's story and the hidden history of the Roman site, visit The National Trust building every day except Friday, when it is closed to the public.
The first guided tour is at 11.20am, the last at 3.40pm.
Tours last for 25 minutes and are free to National Trust members.
Tickets are priced at £3 for adults and £2.50 for children. Minimum age is eight.
For more information visit nationaltrust.org.uk/treasurers-house-york/

Flagstaff, Ariz. • The London Bridge is not falling down, despite a British tabloid saying that the western Arizona tourist attraction could be bulldozed to make way for drug tourism.
Lake Havasu City officials heard about the story in The Sun after a local resident from a London suburb showed them a copy of the tabloid. They say it was a slap in the face, particularly when more than $600,000 in bridge improvements are planned for this summer. They demanded a retraction and an apology from the newspaper.
The bridge, which spans a channel between the shoreline and an island in Lake Havasu, was sold by the British government in 1968 to Robert P. McCullough, the founder of Lake Havasu City. The bridge was dismantled in London, transported to Lake Havasu and reassembled over a three-year period.

When an actor builds his reputation on being a jackass, he's got to expect young upstarts waiting for the opportunity to pile on.
And that's what happened to Johnny Knoxville when he shot a promo and showed a screening for his new film, "Bad Grandpa," at a University of Arizona frat house last month according to several media sources.
Knoxville, 42, star of the "Jackass" movies, was at an unidentified Tucson frat in early September dressed as his alter ego from his new movie, "Bad Grandpa." Several photos he posted to his Twitter account show Knoxville partying with students.
Later that night, however, someone at the party put Ecstasy in his beer, he told TMZ.
"Someone dosed me with Ecstasy and after that the wheels fell off," he said. "I wasn't mad at all. I hadn't done it since my 20s. I thought, 'This is awesome!' "
Articles in The Mirror and The Sun newspapers in the United Kingdom confirm the story.
"About 30 minutes into the screening, my heart starts racing and I'm like, 'I am X-ing right now, someone dosed me,' the papers reported.
"For the rest of the shoot I was just a train wreck and we got a lot of funny stuff. But at some point I ruptured the tendon in my finger either busting through a table or climbing up a net."

Two foodies talks about their festive tables.
In New Zealand, Christmas happens at summertime, and, as a child, we would drive to Northland and spend it camping by the beach.
My stepmother was a Cockney and she was always keen to have the seasonal traditions, so we'd end up having a New Zealand-ified traditional British Christmas: we'd have Christmas pudding, for example, but sliced up and fried in lots of butter on the barbecue – it was a lovely way to caramelise it on the outside.
We'd have a glazed ham, but we'd usually barbecue chickens instead of turkey. And, of course, there would be lots of seafood.
I came up with this dish 25 years ago when I was living in Australia, and I have regularly served it to people at Christmas since. The combination of flavours and texture is gorgeous and before you sit down to huge amounts of fatty roast meat and potatoes, it's great to have something healthy and refreshing.
Peter Gordon is a chef and food writer, best known for introducing fusion to the UK. He runs two London restaurants, Kopapa and The Providores and Tapa Room. His latest cookbook, Peter Gordon Everyday is published by Jacqui Small.
For 4 starters or 2 main courses
1 finger of ginger
1 small whole bunch coriander
2tsp sesame oil
1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
¼ red chilli, thinly sliced
2 x 150g lobster tails (in the shell, uncooked)
1 sweet, ripe mango
1 juicy lime
¼ cucumber
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 thin slices baguette
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
Small handful watercress or any other peppery leaf to garnish
100g peanuts
2tbsp icing sugar
4 cloves garlic
125ml full-fat milk
300ml sunflower oil
Boil peanuts rapidly for 10 minutes. Drain and leave for 5 minutes, then toss with the icing sugar, lay on a lined baking tray and bake at 150ºC until golden and crisp. To serve, crush roughly.
aioli: Finely purée the garlic and milk, then slowly drizzle in the milk until emulsified. Stir in crushed flaky sea salt, to taste.
Salad: Peel the ginger, reserving the peel, and then finely grate it – you want 2tsp worth. Pick the coriander leaves and tender stalks, then shred remaining stalks. Heat the oil in a large pot, then add the ginger peelings, the coriander stalks, red onion, garlic and half the chilli. Sauté until the onions caramelise, stirring often. Put the lobster tails in the pot and cook until the shells begin to colour (this takes about 3 minutes), turning them every minute. Pour on enough boiling water to just cover the tails and add ¼tsp salt. Bring to the boil, take off the heat, and set your timer to 5 minutes. When the time is up, remove the tails and leave to cool, then use scissors to cut through the shell on the belly side and then carefully pull the flesh from the shell – it's easiest to do this while they're still warm. Put the pot back on the stove and cook over a gentle boil until the poaching liquid has reduced to an eighth of a cup, then strain and set aside. Peel the mango and cut both cheeks off, then thinly slice. Grate ¼tsp of the lime zest, juice it, and add to the mango with the sugar. Strip-peel the cucumber, thinly slice, and mix with the remaining chilli and the halved cherry tomatoes. To make the crostini, drizzle the baguette slices with olive oil and bake at 160ºC until golden and crispy. To serve, slice the lobster tails into six. Toss the mango, cucumber and tomatoes, spring onions, watercress and half the coriander together and divide between your plates. Lay the lobster on top and drizzle with the reduced poaching liquid. Spoon a teaspoon of the aioli on each crostino and tuck it in, then scatter with peanuts and remaining coriander. Drizzle with 2tsp of olive oil and serve.
I love the ritual of the Christmas lunch – the roast turkey or, occasionally, goose, with all the classic accompaniments, the Christmas pudding and brandy butter. But I can't seem to help a few Chinese influences creeping in, especially on Boxing Day, when the traditional cold meats work so beautifully with a bit of Sichuanese intervention. I usually toss some shredded turkey with a spicy dressing of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chilli oil and Sichuan pepper, and I also like to make the dish here, in which beef shin is sliced and then soused in a Sichuanese dressing and scattered with roasted peanuts and coriander. It fits perfectly with a lunch of cold ham and turkey, salads and cheese.
When I spent Christmas in Sichuan as a student, my classmates and I all prepared traditional dishes from our home countries, but we had to adapt to local circumstances. So, for example, Christmas pudding had to be made with Xinjiang sultanas, Chinese dates and dried apricots rather than raisins and currants, and, as I didn't have any mince-pie tins, I folded pastry circles round a mince-meat stuffing, then pinched them into semicircles like jiaozi dumplings. (I've made them that way ever since.)
Fuchsia Dunlop is an English food writer who specialises in Chinese cuisine. This recipe is adapted from her latest cookbook Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking (Bloomsbury)
Serves 4
1kg beef shin
100g fresh ginger, with skin
4 spring onions, white parts only
5tsp salt
1½ star anise
4tbsp Shaoxing wine
¼tsp ground roasted Sichuan pepper
1tbsp cloves garlic, finely chopped
150ml of the beef cooking liquid
½tsp dark soy sauce
6-8tbsp chilli oil, with sediment
1tsp sesame oil
2tsp sesame seeds, toasted
A handful of fresh coriander, coarsely chopped
4tbsp finely sliced spring-onion greens
Two celery sticks, de-stringed and finely chopped
A good handful of roasted peanuts, roughly chopped or crushed
Prick the beef shin all over with a skewer and place in a bowl. Add 3tsp of salt and 2tbs of Shaoxing wine. Take half the ginger and two of the spring-onion whites and crush slightly. Add to the beef. Rub the salt, wine, ginger and spring onion into the beef, then leave in the fridge overnight. Remove the beef from the marinade and rinse. Place in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Skim the liquid, and then add the remaining salt, ginger and spring onions (both crushed). Add star anise and remaining wine. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about two hours until the meat is tender. When the beef is ready, set it aside to cool, but reserve at least 150ml of the cooking liquid. To serve, toast the sesame seeds gently in a wok or frying pan for a few minutes. Slice the beef and place in a serving dish. Combine the sauce ingredients, mix well and pour over the beef. Scatter over the other ingredients and serve. – The Independent on Sunday
