Cast: Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, Fisher Stevens, Jim Belushi Director: Craig Brewer Rating: ★★★.5 Adapted from a real-life story that once lived as a modest documentary, Song Sung Blue finds writer-director Craig Brewer returning to familiar terrain: underdogs chasing dignity through performance. A still from the movie Song Sung Blue Set against the distinctly American world of tribute acts and county fairs, the film follows Mike and Claire Sardina (Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson respectively), a blended-family couple in late-80s Milwaukee who stumble into local fame by forming a Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning and Thunder.

Malaysia Open badminton: PV Sindhu turns up heat after slow start to overcome Sung Shuo Yun in season-opener | Badminton News

Published by Webster

By a strange quirk of fate, PV Sindhu was drawn to face Chinese Taipei’s Sung Shuo Yun to start her season for the second calendar year in a row. Back in 2025, it was at the India Open, where Sindhu had returned to training only a few days prior after her brief break for off-season wedding festivities. She was off to a flying start, but was pushed to her limits in the second game. This time around, Sindhu was returning to court after a long time away from action, having ended her 2025 season early due to injury. So when she trailed 1-7 at the start of the match, there were signs of rustiness. Sindhu, however, shook off the rust quickly and turned up the heat on Sung, showing shades of her best attacking game and also defensive solidity when pushed around, coming through 21-13, 22-20 in 51 minutes at the Malaysia Open Super 1000 in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. Carrying on from her good start, there was a 22-shot rally won by Sung for …
