Ana’s searing performance
Someone likened new kick flick “Ballerina” to athlete’s foot. It stars Keanu Reeves, Gabriel Byrne, Anjelica Huston and Ana de Armas, who is full of twists and axels.
She has done previous off-camera leaps and twists with Ben Affleck and then Tom Cruise. She’s Cuban so she definitely knows from kicks and tricks cha-cha-cha . . .
About this film she says: “I was excited. Nervous. Surprised I came out of it in one piece. In the flamethrower scene I think I burned 106 people. I only cried for the first one. The other 105 were fine.”
Sweet. She’ll probably be on your Mother’s Day cards. In theaters, June 6.
Another newie comes from Sylvester Stallone, who wrote the script for “A Working Man.” Jason Statham plays a black ops military guy working in construction.
His boss’ daughter gets abducted. So he then goes and does what black ops grads do. Humming it’s not. And he choreographed all his own stuff.
It’s out this week. Go or he’ll come after you.
Remote control
Franklin Delano Roosevelt — pay attention — governed the USA similarly to DJT. (Note: Someone revive N. Pelosi.)
Harry Hopkins worked the details while FDR — zero interest in bureaucracy — traveled toward his personal secretary Lucy Mercer.
Oy, did she know shorthand. FDR gave Stalin the whole store. Result? Decades of cold war.
Scene & heard
Meanwhile, the civilians are getting restless. Crates of semi-top reporters invaded Dave Goodside’s Beach Café on Second Avenue. Crammed, jammed.
On hand were Curtis Sliwa, Carolyn Maloney, Ann Coulter, Rita Cosby, Douglas Murray. The burgers shrunk in fear of the onslaught.
Then — then — then — the thrill. The excitement. An actual sighting of the In-Person supreme majesty — our former mayor whatsisname de Blasio — who now gets excited even if his pencil moves.
Long married to his mathematically blessed wife Chirlane, he was asked if he’s ever been around this many right wing Republicans, answered: “Yes. I’ve been to Staten Island.”
The night was to honor Jon Levine, who is leaving the NY Post to join whatever’s the Washington Free Beacon.
Me, I wish I’d been there because I yearn to thank people for their exciting spread — even the ones I’ve attended which were catered by Columbia Presbyterian in honor of Anthony Weiner.
And this is to tell you that if you don’t like Donald or his group, it’s not like we don’t have choices in this country. Feel free. If you don’t like other things, you can always send a $3 donation and get an 8-by-10 enlargement of Nikki Haley in tights.
A note. Just a note. It’s now stupid ridiculous for the Russians to accuse us of spying on them to find out what’s happening in Moscow. Stupid! We’re too busy trying to find out what’s going on in Washington.
Only in DC, kids, only in DC.
