The movie Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is one month away. And it’s time for the publicity blitz to start running on all cylinders. First up, we have a batch of new images from the final chapter of the Skywalker saga. Some of the images unite all of the heroes in the same place. While others show the First Order villains in pursuit. Check out the new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker photos for a sneak peek at what’s in store.
After finally assembling in the same place at the same time at the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. All our new heroes will finally be working together on a single mission. We’re not sure what that mission is. But it clearly has them encountering something in a cave. And even Rey (Daisy Ridley) looks a little apprehensive about confronting whatever it might be.
This is actually the first official still we’ve seen of Richard E. Grant as First Order Allegiant General Pryde. He looks appropriately menacing as many British men have in the uniforms of the Galactic Empire and the First Order. Will he be a formidable foe for our heroes, perhaps a sort of reincarnation of Grand Moff Tarkin from the original trilogy?
That Oscar Isaac sure is a handsome fella, isn’t he? Doing his best Han Solo meets Indiana Jones fashion model pose. We have Poe listening in at what appears to be a Resistance briefing. It would appear that this is early on in the film before our heroes go on their mission. If that’s the case, maybe they’re listening to Rey dole out some information about what they need to do. Also, is that robed woman from the civilization that our heroes encounter on the new planet Pasaana? Was the Resistance looking for more warriors there to help the Resistance?
Speaking of new planets, here’s a legion of Stormtroopers (and Snowtroopers with capes) marching on what appears to be the new planet Kijimi. That’s where we’re supposed to meet Keri Russell as Zorri Bliss, a smuggle who has a past with Poe Dameron and may be able to help them with something on their mission. Clearly the First Order is in hot pursuit of whatever our heroes are up to, which more than likely involves C-3PO in that heartbreaking moment from the most recent trailer.
Finally, we have this heroic shot of Rey, working on some of her training. While many assumed this was Endor or Yavin that we were returning to, this is actually a new planet called Ajan Kloss where the Resistance has set up a new base. Presumably, they won’t be there for very long as this still is more than likely from the beginning of the movie before our heroes embark on their new quest.
You can head over to Entertainment Weekly to see a few more new photos from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The magazine just debuted their Star Wars cover issue. And there are plenty more details to comb through about the upcoming conclusion to the entire Skywalker saga. Stay tuned as we saunter towards the film’s release on December 20, 2019.


Oprah Winfrey teases “Sound of Music” reunion show
By Sean O’Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Daytime television is about to come alive with “The Sound of Music” as media tycoon Oprah Winfrey reunites Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and the cast of the Oscar-winning musical in celebration of the film’s 45th anniversary.
Set your DVRs for Friday afternoon, when Winfrey will host the cast and tease the Nov. 2 release of Robert Wise’s film on Blu-ray.
During the interview, Andrews opens up about the health scare that reduced her singing voice.
“It certainly was huge,” Andrews tells Winfrey. “I mean I did go into huge decline. But the wonder is, and it’s true that it – as Maria says in the movie – when God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.”
But the cast doesn’t want to dwell on inspirational nuggets like that, for fear that “Sound” would get too emotional. As Plummer said of the filming, “There needed to be a cynic of some kind around to stop it from getting too mawkish.” And Andrews chimed in, “I think we all felt that if we weren’t careful, the film could have been dreadfully saccharin.”
It isn’t. It’s a beloved classic, and this should be an entertaining hour with Winfrey and the cast. How much do you want to bet the studio audience goes home with their own copy?

AFI Silver Theatre Cultural Center
Now in its 21st year, the AFI Latin American Film Festival celebrates hitting the drinking age by hosting an array of cinematic achievements by Latin American filmmakers, with this year’s slate of films extending to motion pictures from Spain and Portugal. The 2010 lineup includes Revolution, a collection of short films from 10 Mexican moviemakers, including actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, that explores the themes of the Mexican Revolution on its 100th anniversary. Those with an off-kilter sense of humor or an unhealthy love for con-artistry can check out Uruguay’s Bad Day to Go Fishing, which follows a wrestler and his manager as they navigate through South America, putting on fake exhibitions of strength. Venezuela’s Story of a Day enthralls its viewers by poetically chronicling the numerous parties, feasts, and chores in a Venezuelan village, and Honduras’s Love and Beans comically details marital mysteries and draws attention to the plight of beans everywhere. Check the full lineup to see how the festival's schedule of silver-screen offerings matches up to your own sci-fi screenplay about the 1993 Buffalo Bills.

This might not be the first time you’ve heard about the Shingeki no Kyojin compilation movies because SnK is all over the news/internet now. The first movie, Guren no Yumiya, (covering episodes 1-13) will be shown in theatres on Nov 22 while the second movie (14-25) will be shown next year. The same main staff (Araki Tetsurou, Sawano Hiroyuki, Asano Kyoji) is in charge of the remaster of the series. The official site has already released the trailer for the first movie, and at the time of writing, it already garnered half million views. Wow. That’s just amazing.
According to ANN, the movie will feature all-new voice acting and some included scenes. Also, as seen in the trailer, some scenes in the anime series were modified to add more effect and drama to the already dramatic adaptation and portrayal in the series. That’s thanks to the budget. I don’t mind the reinforced visual and audio effects, since movies are meant to be felt by the viewers inside the movie houses. However, I’m not really a fan of compilation movies since there aren’t really any differences with the original material. They are upgraded versions of whatever they were compiled from. But if it’s the movie experience that we are talking about, and if it’s from a title I really like, I might consider adding it to my plan to watch list.
I’m not sure if this will be welcomed and aired in our country, albeit the anime and manga are already popular, i.e. non-anime fans have also tried watching this and they enjoyed it. But I am still hopeful that there is a chance that it will infiltrate the local cinemas since the biggest local malls have catered to the demands of Rurouni Kenshin and Lupin the Third fans. RuroKen Densetsu no Saigo Hen and Lupin III local screenings begin on Sep 24 and Sep 17, respectively.
The question is: Are you ready for a titan-neck-chopping and human-eating-titan action drama replay?


One of the best-known Indian film directors, Ram Gopal Varma has created a series of controversies with his tweet about the poor fate of remakes of South Indian films in Bollywood. According to the filmmaker, the South should start focusing on dubbing the movies in multiple languages instead of giving their remake rights to Bollywood.
In his tweet, Varma said, “The DISASTROUS fate of JERSEY film in Hindi signals the DEATH of REMAKES for the simple reason it has been proved multiple times that dubbed films like #Pushpa #RRR #KGF2 are doing far better than originals, if the content is good #DeathOfRemakes.”
The popular filmmaker took his twitter handle to justify his stand and his use of the hashtag ‘DeathOfRemakes’. He published five more tweets to explain himself.
In an interview with ETimes, the filmmaker said, “It’s not about most remakes being flops. Jersey is an example because it’s the latest remake. The makers always want to remake a South film with a local star. The Hindi producers will cast a Hindi star, take the story from a Telugu star’s movie and remake it. That’s what happened with Jersey is as well.”
He added, “Jersey was made with an initial budget of 100 crores, that too a remake of a Telugu film featuring Nani. Today, all Telugu films, in their original format are working well. Whether it’s films featuring Ram Charan, Yash, NTR or Prabhas. Instead of casting a Hindi star and spending 100 crores, they could have just spent money on dubbing the Telugu version and releasing it in the North. Most Telugu dubbed movies are working well in the North markets. That could have been done in merely 10 lakhs.”
While explaining his use of ‘DeathOfRemakes’, he said, “This will affect the business because in the future no one will want to sell remake rights, and instead South producers will prefer to try their luck with dubbed versions instead. If Bollywood doesn’t know how to make popular films like SS Rajamouli and Prashant Neel then they’re going to have to rely on remake rights. But if they don’t get the rights, then that’s the death of remakes.”

Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino is to direct Julia Roberts in the “intense dramatic thriller” After The Hunt.
Luca Guadagnino just can’t help himself. In what must be a personal game of project Jenga, he continually adds films to his slate until his tower partly collapses, a few projects go by the wayside and he starts adding more again. Let’s recap: This year, Guadagnino has two films releasing. Challengers, the highly-anticipated love triangle tennis drama that was supposed to release last year before the Hollywood strikes upended everything. Challengers is slated to release later next month, but Guadagnino also has Queer on the way later this year too. That sounds equally promising given that Guadagnino is directing Daniel Craig in an adaptation of the William Burroughs book of the same name. That one shot last year and is set to release sometime this year (we think).
There was the planned Audrey Hepburn biopic starring Rooney Mara which is sadly no more, or at least that was the case the last we heard. The director was also attached to a Scarface remake, but has reportedly exited that one too. Then there’s a sequel to Call Me By Your Name and an adaptation of Lord Of The Flies that are said to be in the works, although we have no idea whether they will actually happen. Then last week Guadagnino added an adaptation of Pier Vittorio Tondelli’s Italian cult novel Separate Rooms to his Jenga tower.
But that was last week. This week Deadline has announced that Guadagnino is now set to direct Julia Roberts in the thriller After The Hunt for Amazon MGM. According to the outlet, ‘the film is an intense dramatic thriller about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light.’
According to the report, Amazon was able to leverage its existing relationship with Guadagnino to land the package of Roberts, the spec script by debut screnwriter Leah Garrett and the man himself. Interest was said to be high and we can easily imagine that was the case. After all, Guadagnino is the filmmaker behind Challengers, one of this year’s buzziest films, while Roberts starred in last year’s Leave The World Behind which became one of Netflix’s most watched films in the history of the platform.
That’s all we know right now, but we could see After The Hunt getting fast-tracked by the studio. Where that leaves Guadagnino’s other projects we don’t yet know, but when that slate of his does finally form into an orderly fashion, we’ll be sure to let you know.


Though predictable due to its slavish adherence to familiar comic-book tropes, director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern still manages to entertain thanks to its massive scale, imaginative action sequences, and colorful special effects. But even then, inconsistent pacing and hasty plotting prevent this ambitious superhero epic from achieving greatness. In the end, the good just narrowly outweighs the bad, though opponents of the current 3D craze will only find more ammo for their arguments due to the fact that the stereoscopic projection makes the Clash of the Titans remake look like Avatar.
Ever since he saw his fearless father perish in a tragic aviation mishap, all Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) could think about was flying -- it was the only thing the brash, cocky, and irresponsible test pilot ever truly excelled at. Little did he realize he was destined for something much bigger. Somewhere out in space, a powerful force of evil known as Parallax is spreading fear and destruction; the only hope for defeating Parallax is the Green Lantern Corps, a group of intergalactic warriors powered by the force of will. When legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) is sent hurtling toward planet Earth after a deadly encounter with Parallax, his ring chooses Hal to continue the fight. The ring spirits our hero away to the Green Lantern's home planet of Oa for training. The first human ever to receive the honor of becoming a Green Lantern, Hal is viewed with scorn by the league's leader, Sinestro (Mark Strong), who trains him alongside the hulking Kilowog (voice of Michael Clarke Duncan). Later, on planet Earth, frail scientist Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) becomes infected with Parallax's evil while performing an autopsy on Abin Sur, and uses his newfound powers to stake claim on Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hal's lifelong friend and fellow test pilot. When Hal learns that Parallax plans to consume all life on Earth to gain the energy needed to conquer Oa, he begins looking inward for the courage to defeat the malevolent force and embrace his destiny as a super-powered peacekeeper.
On first glance, Green Lantern bears all the hallmarks of your typical comic-book fantasy: flawed human selected to serve a greater cause that will empower them to unlock their true potential; planet-crushing force of evil threatening to wipe out all of humanity; pretty love interest caught up in the fight between good and evil; and obvious sequel setup. Perhaps, as do some movie lovers, comic-book fanatics find comfort in the familiar model, rather than frustration with the fact that so few filmmakers are inspired to smash that paradigm to create something original. But that would involve serious risk taking -- the kind that makes Hollywood producers break out in a cold sweat when 150 million dollars is the wager.
Green Lantern works best when Hal Jordan is combining creativity with superpowers to combat evil. Sadly, this seems to be low on the list of priorities for director Martin Campbell and screenwriters Marc Guggenheim, Michael Green, Greg Berlanti, and Michael Goldberg. Though it's obvious that the writers were all striving to get the details right, the final product is like an especially decadent desert meticulously crafted by four pastry chefs who each insist on adding their signature touch before the dish is served -- each individual flavor is a treat for the senses, yet together they clash. As if Parallax weren't a big enough threat to two entire planets, we also get Sarsgaard channeling Brad Dourif as a telekinetic Elephant Man, a cosmic force of evil that can't seem to decide which planet it wants to devour first, and a good guy who inexplicably embraces evil after not only devoting his entire existence to conquering it, but seeing firsthand just what it can do to an infinitely wiser being. Scratch that last part; perhaps it isn't quite inexplicable when it's nothing more than a shameless sequel setup.
If all of this sounds a bit harsher than it was meant to, it's because both the character and the movie had the potential to transcend the tradition, but the filmmakers repeatedly take the easy way out. It's genuinely exciting to see a superhero film that embraces the sci-fi/fantasy angle with as much commitment as Green Lantern; if the screenplay had been streamlined, we might have gotten a movie that actually lived up to its potential. Instead, what we're left with is a colorful, easily digestible summertime distraction and an obvious 3D cash grab.


As you may have guessed, given my near-obsessive, compulsive need to cover anything and everything related to director Christopher Nolan, I consider myself to be a bit of a Nolan fanboy. I’m a fan of Nolan’s earlier work as well as his later work (jury’s still out on “Tenet,” though), yet most online film rank videos seem to place the same three films on top of the pedestal: “The Dark Knight,” “Inception” and “Interstellar.”
For this rendition of Film Fight, I wanted to focus on the two films that always seem to be paired up against each another, those being “Inception” and “Interstellar.” Though both films are visually astonishing in their own right, and their respective film scores definitely showcase some of Hans Zimmer’s best work, these two films are often butting heads for the title of “best of the two.”
Personally, I think both films are equally impressive in their own right. Both have jaw-dropping set pieces, compelling characters and a story that’s easy to lose yourself in, and they’re both pristine examples of escapist cinema at their finest.
While people praise “Interstellar’s” score and visual/practical effects, its slow pacing is often at the crux of the film’s criticism, a problem attributed to its difficult-to-like characters and their subsequent lack of chemistry.
In contrast, “Inception” is often attributed with being the “perfect” film, with excellent pacing, likable characters whose motives one can actually get behind, and a story that keeps you engaged with its ever-increasing tension as a result of the plot’s need to take characters deeper and deeper into Fischer’s subconscious by going into dreams within dreams.
Now, I’m not here to tell you which film does what it does best, as that’s your job, but I will say that I love both films equally, albeit for completely different reasons.
It’s my opinion that “Inception” is an entertaining, near-perfect film, thus making it one that’s easy to rewatch and become continually engrossed in. Nevertheless, “Interstellar’s” heartfelt message about how human love (specifically the love between a father and daughter) can transcend space and time and that it, and only it, is the sole mechanism which the film attributes to humanity’s salvation makes “Interstellar” a film that must be watched.
All in all, if I had the ability to rewatch any film indefinitely, I’d pick “Inception.” If I had to pick one last movie to watch (after which I could never see another film again), I’d pick “Interstellar.”

Frank R. Benson
Shakespeare's tragedy of the hump-backed Duke of Gloucester, who rises to the throne of England by chicanery, treachery, and brilliance, only to find that his own methods have prepared the groundwork for his downfall.Written by
Jim Beaver <firstname.lastname@example.org>
Far from being a representation of a typical stage production of the play when the film was made, star Frederick Warde related in his autobiography that "I found the action of the camera necessitated entirely different methods of acting from the stage. Spontaneity must be replaced by deliberation and concentrated expression take the place of words. I had much to learn and considerable to unlearn but the director and photographer were very considerate, although my ignorance of the necessities of the camera must have tried their patience almost to the limit." See more »
The viewer would do well to compare this film with Frank Benson's British film of the same play released in 1911, one year before Warde's. Both the similarities and differences are illuminating. The costumes are of course very similar--it would be years before modern dress Shakespeare would get onto film. The way the scenes of Edward's court are set are very similar. Such scenes were the staple of Victorian Shakespeare. Both films use narrative title cards to explain to the viewer what is going on; later in the silent era they would contain dialogue more than narration. The similarities show us what was the state of Shakespearean production and cinema standards at the time.
The major difference that one sees is that Benson tries to put you in row fifteen of the Drury lane theatre during one of his performances. The camera never moves and every shot is a long shot. You can't see Benson's face in any of them. All have what is clearly a stage set behind them, and the actors move from side to side primarily because they feel constrained by the backdrop and the footlights.
Warde's approach is best shown in a scene where Richard is riding to the Tower to do in Henry VI. It is shot outside on location. The camera is raised above head level. Richard rides from the distance toward the camera passing behind the camera to the right. It is a scene only possible in film; you could never see such a thing on stage.
Warde's camera is consistently closer to the action than Benson's so that the actor's faces are usually visible. He makes use of high level cameras to see Richard on a balcony and a crowd below and intercuts these with interiors so that one imagines the balcony to be attached to the interior.
In other words, the scenes here are conceived cinematically not theatrically. Warde was not the first to do this even in a Shakespeare film but it does make his film easier and more interesting to watch than his contemporary's.
Alas, his characterization of Richard leaves something to be desired; he stomps about like a troll from a Brothers Grimm story. Before closeups became standard, the only tool an actor could use in a silent film was his bodily movement, and Warde's lacks the subtlety to convey anything more than a caricature. As a result the film, despite being of historical interest, reasonably well paced and shot with a cinematic eye, will fail, I think, to really grip most modern viewers' interest.

The tattooist trailer
Jake Sawyer (Jason Behr) is a global wanderer and tattooist who explores ethnic themes in his designs. While visiting Singapore to sell his craft at a local trade show, he swipes an ancient Samoan tattoo tool. After flying to New Zealand to resume his art, he meet up with a lovely Samoan woman named Sina (Mia Blake) and discovers the local Samoan culture. But Jake slowly learns that his stolen tool ends up unleashing an evil avenging spirit whom targets all of the customers that Jake has given tattoos to since his theft of the tool. While attempting to learn pe'a, the Samoan tradition of tattooing, Jake soon realizes that Sina is imperiled when she gets a tattoo from him and he must find a way to save her, and himself.
Principal photography commenced on 16 September 2006 in Auckland, New Zealand.
The soundtrack contains music by The Mint Chicks, King Kapisi and Don McGlashan among others. The score is composed by Peter Scholes.
Critical reception has been mixed to negative for The Tattooist. Common criticism centered on the film's pacing, as reviewers from sites such as DreadCentral felt that the movie's plot was too padded and the concept too thin for the 90 minute film length. Bloody Disgusting echoed the same sentiments and expressed frustration over The Tattooist, as they believed that the movie could have been "something fresh and original but instead mimicked a bunch of terrible films before it." Shock Till You Drop criticized what they saw as an overabundance of backstory and exposition, explaining that "Too much time spent on explaining ‘why’ works against sustaining a sense of disbelief and The Tattooist is especially ponderous in this regard." In a positive review, David Johnson of DVD Verdict stated the film is "a frantic, messy, nasty little horror flick and is worth checking out."

Honey Trehan also said, ‘I am grateful to the producers of this film, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, who are not only investing for this film but are also emotionally attached to it.’
Rishi Kapoor died on 30 April while fighting cancer in Mumbai. Sharmaji Namkeen is his last film, which remained incomplete after his death. Hence, his fans are very desperate to see this film. Now it will have to be seen when the film Sharmaji Namkeen reaches theaters.

Ajay Mehra is on a secret mission to Kashmir to counter Pakistan backed terrorist right after Independence. While on the mission, he is injured due to a bomb blast. A girl, Asha from a poor family, is forced to flee for her own safety following an attack on her house by Pakistan backed terrorist. She comes across Ajay, who is injured. She nurses him back to health over a period of time and they start falling in love with each other. But after the bomb blast, Ajay has lost his memory. Hence they both decide to go to Srinagar to get treatment for him at a hospital. But Ajay gets some clue from his things and decides to go to Bombay to find the truth about himself.
In Bombay, while searching for some more clues, Ajay sees bank robbers fleeing after robbing a bank. He tries to stop them and is hit by their car. In the process, he recognises the robbers to be from Continental Hotel, where he was looking for clues. He is then taken to a hospital where his brother comes to meet him. Due to this accident, he starts regaining some parts of his memory. But he has completely forgotten about the last six months.
The robbers decide to kill Ajay as he has recognised them. They send a group member's wife to Ajay's house and there she claims to be his wife. Looking for Ajay, Asha also reaches his home. But Ajay fails to recognise her. Finding it suspicious, Police keep an eye on both women. The robbers try to kill Ajay several times, but are unsuccessful as he discovers their plans. The police and Ajay draw up a plan to fool the robbers. They fake Ajay's death and, relieved by that, the robbers stop hiding and are then caught by police. In the last fight, Ajay again loses consciousness, but regains his full memory later on. Ajay and Asha get married in the end.
The music is composed by O. P. Nayyar on lyrics written by S. H. Bihari, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Shewan Rizvi. The song "Aap Yun Hi Agar Humse Milte Rahe" is based on Kedar rag.

[adrotate banner=”1″]Gina Carano beats up a whole island of people when her husband is kidnapped in In the Blood. It will get a limited theatrical release and a DVD/VOD push. The action and look harkens back to some nice direct to video action movies that I (and many like me) rented all the time from video stores. Which is why the theatrical release is a bit surprising, but as it’s Gina Carano, she was in Fast and Furious 6, there’s money to be made. Luis Guzmán, Stephen Lang, and Danny Trejo also star. John Stockwell of Into the Blue and Blue Crush fame took a break from directing movies with “blue” in the title to direct. Bennett Yellin and James Robert Johnston wrote the script.
Gina Carano stars as Ava, a trained fighter with a dark past. When her new husband (Cam Gigandet) vanishes during their Caribbean honeymoon, Ava uncovers a violent underworld of conspiracy in the middle of an island paradise. Armed with a deadly set of skills, Ava sets out to discover the truth – and to take down the men she thinks are responsible for his abduction, one by one.
April 4 is when In the Blood will hit theaters and VOD.
2013 Written by Andrew Knauer, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and George Nolfi
Directed by Kim Ji-woon
My hand is huge!
We got both a return of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Hollywood debut of Kim Ji-woon with the modern day western The Last Stand. But is the title prophetic and a sign that we should stay away? If you are looking for amazing action and a return to form for an actor turned politician, then you might want to keep waiting. But if you want a good forgettable action flick with some funny parts, then The Last Stand is a passable January release. It isn’t terrible, it’s just we’ve seen much better from both the star and the director, so things come out disappointing. And that’s the worst sting of all.
Kim Ji-woon is no stranger to Westerns, he directed The Good, the Bad, and the Weird, one of the best Western-inspired films ever. He’s also responsible for I Saw The Devil, one of those films that people watch and then describe with a single emoticon of a traumatized face staring into the distance. Kim Ji-woon is the first of three popular Korean directors who are making their Hollywood debut in 2013 (Bong Joon-ho with Snowpiercer and Park Chan-wook with Stoker are the other two.) He’s also the only reason I had any interest in taking the time to see The Last Stand.
I am sorry to say that things are up to Kim Ji-woon’s normal standards of excellence. But The Last Stand isn’t a wash, either. It follows the normal arc progression of a Western with the eventual showdown against the gang by the Sheriff and his deputies. There is a lot of scattered action sequences throughout the buildup, as the cartel leader escapes from captivity then carves his way through increasingly incompetent police roadblocks via increasingly ridiculous ambush attacks.
Minimalist action theater
In the usual Western, the baddies are constantly harassing the town, the people the Sheriff likes and loves, and the danger is more personal. As Gabriel Cortez is more of a guy who is just passing through town, The Last Stand attempts to counter this by having some of his gang in town building an escape bridge. The gang causes trouble and is involved in a firefight with the Sheriff’s office. Though the gang’s leader is played by awesome dude Peter Stormare, the rest are all faceless militia types and there isn’t enough there to make them feel so evil you cheer when the hero kills them.
Sheriff Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger) – Arnold is the sheriff of Summerton Junction, where he went after a shootout went wrong during his career as an LA narcotics squad detective. He now deals with local town with small town troubles, but sometimes big trouble comes by.
Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) – Forest Whitaker plays the desperate FBI agents who gets stymied at every turn by Gabriel Cortez’s escape. A role that requires a lot of yelling on the phone as whatever plan is happening goes terribly wrong.
Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega) – The evil drug cartel leader and world class racer, driving down deserted desert roads at 197 mph. But he is too fast and not enough furious to deal with the Terminator!

Personally speaking, I don’t really think the concept of a “cult film” resounds in the same way today as it did pre-social media. Everyone’s tastes and needs are attended to so astutely by viral start-up studios and filmmakers shooting entire features on iPhones that it’s tough to make a true midnight movie anymore. More or less, cult films are defined more by their post-release internet appreciation and meme-ability than anything else. Only just now are people beginning to catch on to the wry humor of Jennifer’s Body, or the batshit crazy antics of Speed Racer, or the weirdly profound nature of Spring Breakers, etc. This being said, it’s hard to gauge the effect that cult films will have on my generation until well after the fact, and god knows how the way we consume media will change over the next decade. Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films of All Time is a three-volume documentary focusing on the biggest cult films from different genres from the heyday of the cult film. Vol. 3 focuses on the strides that cult comedies and pure camp have made for over half a century now.
Out the gate, it’s clear that what makes a good cult comedy is tapping into the pure essence of alternative youth culture of whatever time it inhabits, whether it’s the anarchistic rebellion of teenagers in Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, or the stoned apathy of capitalism in Clerks or Office Space, there’s always something that screams “fuck you” at some sort of establishment from the space of cult comedies. It all seemingly taps into the fears and frustrations of 20-somethings coming into their own and assimilating with that of the older generation, having folded into the establishment after their own rebellions. Sometimes, they’re quiet and liminal small town pieces like Napoleon Dynamite or Kingpin, or they’re just full-blown fever dreams as Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Female Trouble were. They soon become the figurative voices of change, as well as provide the escapist entertainment that carries everyone through their 20s.
What’s very interesting in making this case is how often the MPAA is referenced within Time Warp Vol. 3 as an obstacle of authority that often times shoots themselves in the foot containing the content they find so vile. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Showgirls, Female Trouble all were famously slapped with X or NC-17 ratings for their subversively explicit content. A good chunk of the film also focused on the intense fight Miramax had with the MPAA to secure Clerks with an R-rating after being the first film to be classified with an NC-17 solely on account for its language. It’s an almost heavy-handed parallel to the types of films that make cult comedies and the messages that they exude, that a notoriously strict establishment would play their hands so publicly into a film’s censorship, often being the ones who catapult the films into popular culture.
What’s incredibly impressive about this film, as opposed to something like You Don’t Nomi, which spent its entire runtime speaking on Showgirls with outsider voices describing how the film has changed their lives, Time Warp spares no expense to be able to talk to as many people involved with the films discussed as possible. From Gina Gershon for Showgirls, to (unfortunate) Oscar-winner Peter Farrelly for Kingpin, to John fucking Cleese for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this documentary really does provide the view from the inside from any person willing to share their stories with the camera. I do wish, however, that the film had returned to the roundtable discussion between Joe Dante, John Waters, Illeana Douglas, and Kevin Pollak, especially with Waters’s own Female Trouble being heavily featured. It felt like wasted potential in featuring this oddly dynamic group of oddballs having genuine conversations about films they love together and not giving them more screen time.
Personally, I found myself enamored with the entire segment devoted to Napoleon Dynamite, if only because it’s the most recent film discussed. It was a cult that I became a part of quickly, even at only eight years old at the time of its release. It was a film that got many viewings from my sister and me on long road trips, where we would watch the film on the way to our destination, and watch the film with the audio commentary included on the DVD on the way home. It’s a film that I’m still surprised a young me was able to pick on, as strange and subversive as it is. This was the moment when I found myself at the center of Time Warp, and finally feeling that sense of revisionist nostalgia that my generation missed with most of the other films featured on this list.
This very personal aspect is what makes cult cinema so truly special, and something that I still hold doubts that my generation can uphold in the digital age. Can anything be cult when everything is niche? How subversive does something really have to be to be “cult” to a group of 20-somethings today? In the age of stan culture, the art of cult filmmaking and the unintended nature of their peculiarity is somehow seen more with the advent of social media but felt as a ripple through the generation as a whole less. There’s nothing mind-boggling about the way that Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Movies of All Time, Vol. 3 is put together as a documentary, but there’s such passion in revisiting these films from the perspectives of those who lived them that it’s absolutely impossible not to catch the bug that all of these films have released unto audiences over the years. Watching, if I hadn’t seen one of the films discussed, the way that the subjects speak about and frame their respective films and the effects they had on the industry and their careers as a whole, I found myself wanting to immediately add them to my list. I can’t imagine many of these films catching my eye without the word of mouth that they carry with them, but anything that’s able to bring that amount of passion out of an audience is something that I can truly respect, even if I don’t find myself at the altar of every film.
Available on VOD and digital beginning June 23rd, 2020.

David Slade Directing Wolverine 2?
He and Robert Schwentke are contenders
With Hugh Jackman’s recent decision to quit Avon Man, he’s got more time in his schedule to train for Fox’s sequel to Wolverine. And now it appears that the choice of director has been narrowed down to two possibilities, with Twilight: Eclipse’s David Slade and Red’s Robert Schwentke the leading contenders, according to the Vulture blog.
Slade, of course, can parlay his recent experience directing hairy creatures that fight in Eclipse and his past work on the likes of 30 Days of Night and Hard Candy. While thanks to Red’s healthy buzz, Schwentke has become something of the Ryan Reynolds of the megaphone world, lining up possible projects one after the other.
According to Vulture’s sources, Slade has the upper hand right now, but Jackman is even now putting them through their paces, Dragon’s Den-style to see who gets the job. Okay, so he’s probably just talking to them, being as he's a nice fella, but we like to think of it that way.
Christopher McQuarrie has written one of the most recent drafts of the script, which finds Logan still in Japan (where one of the tags from the first film left him). He kicks off a romance with a woman who is already engaged to be married, but of course that doesn’t stop Wolvie given his foul mood after the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Cue a fight!
Once a director has been picked, the film is scheduled to start shooting in January.


Choreographer-filmmaker Remo D’Souza is gearing up for the biggest dance film of Bollywood, ABCD 3. The movie stars Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor in main roles. Katrina Kaif was also supposed to be an integral part of the dance flick but opted out due to date issues. If reports are to believed, then Nora Fatehi is a strong contender for the role that was written for Kaif. It will be a big break for Nora who seems to riding high after the success of Dilbar Dilbar from Satyameva Jayate. Today, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor were seen outside a dance studio. Remo D’Souza and his wife Lizelle were also spotted. The film will be shot in new age technology and will have some exquisite dance pieces. Varun and Shraddha were adored for their fab dancing and chemistry in ABCD 2. Bollywood Life reported that Varun Dhawan will be paid approximately Rs 21 crores for the film.


The audio of Vikram-Shankar's "I" Hindi and Telugu versions is all set to be launched on 5 December and 10 December, respectively.
The Hindi audio launch will be held in Mumbai, while the Telugu music release will take place in Hyderabad. Earlier, there were reports that Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone would attend the Hindi audio and Jackie Chan will be present for the Telugu version. However, there is no official confirmation in this regard.
The music release of "I" Tamil version was held in a grand manner on 15 September. "Terminator" actor Arnold Schwarzenegger attended the big event along with celebrities like Rajinikanth, Puneeth Rajkumar, Vikram, AR Rahman and Shankar among others. The songs have received fantastic response from fans and it remains to be seen if the Hindi, Telugu version of the songs will receive good feedback from the audience.
The teaser of "I" has generated a huge positive buzz and has created big expectations surrounding the project. The film was initially slated to release for Diwali, but it was reportedly delayed due to the post-production work.
It has now been confirmed that the film is set to hit screens for Pongal, though an official announcement on the exact release date is still awaited.
Directed by Shankar, "I" is touted to be a romantic thriller with Vikram appearing in four different looks including a body builder, crippled man, beast-like creature and a stylish man. Amy Jackson plays the female lead, while the other cast members include Suresh Gopi and Upen Patel in supporting roles. The film's cinematography is handled by P.C. Sreeram, while Aascar Ravichandran has produced the big budget entertainer.
"I" is likely to clash with Ajith's "Yennai Arindhaal," which is also confirmed for a Pongal release. "Yennai Arindhaal" is expected to hit the screens on 9 January, while "I" might release a week after the release of the Ajith starrer.

“Lawless” is one of The Audio Dope’s most anticipated films of the year for two reasons. One being the awesome story that takes place during the Depression and depicts a group of boot-legging brothers on the run from the authorities. The other is the all-star cast.

Mammootty is definitely a busy man as he has a good number of solid projects in the pipeline. The actor, after the completion of Masterpiece will next join the shoot of debutant Gireesh Damodar's Uncle, scripted by Joy Mathew.
Now, there are a few reports doing the rounds regarding another upcoming project of Mammootty. If reports are to be believed, Mammootty is all set to team up with director-turned-actor Sohan Seenulal, who had directed the Megastar in the film Doubles, released in the year 2011.
Reportedly, this upcoming film will have its script penned by PV Shajikumar, who has earlier penned the scripts for the movies Take Off and Kanyaka Talkies.
Interestingly, PV Shajikumar has also worked with Mammootty in the film Puthan Panam, directed by Ranjith in which the writer had helped the actor with the Kazargode dialect.
This upcoming film will be the second directorial venture of Sohan Seenulal. The makers are yet to make an official announcement on the porject. Interestingly, Sohan Seenulal is a actor himself and has appeared in a good number of movies like Puthiya Niyamam, The Great Father, Achayans, Thoppil Joppan etc.
Meanwhile, Mammootty's most recent release was Pullikkaran Staraa, which had hit the theatres during the Onam season. The film has been doing a decent business at the box office.


Film director Ken Loach has labelled Prime Minister David Cameron's suggestion that UK independent films should focus on box office success a "travesty".
The prime minister signalled ahead of a visit to Buckinghamshire's Pinewood Studios- location of numerous James Bond films - that he wanted film producers in Britain to create commercially successful films.
Cameron was set to announce that National Lottery money would be aimed at making "mainstream" independent films such as Oscar winner The King's Speech, which cost £8m to make and went on to become the highest-grossing independent British film of all time, earning an estimated £250m worldwide.
The British film industry made an estimated £4bn contribution to the economy last year, a figure praised by Cameron. "We should aim even higher, building on the incredible success of recent years," he said.
But the director of Looking for Eric and My Name is Joe, Ken Loach, told the BBC that Cameron's approach was a travesty.
"If everyone knew what would be successful before it was made, there would be no problem," he said.
"What you need to do is fund a lot of different, varied projects and then you'll get a really vibrant industry.
"If you went to an art gallery and you just saw ducks flying into the sunset, you would think that it was a rather limited art gallery. You would want a wide variety of paintings."


Coming into Christian Petzold’s rural neo-noir, it might be helpful to have an understanding of the films that he is aiming to re-create. Like his previous film, Yella, which played with the conventions of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in the context of modern Germany, Jerichow (presumably named after the town where the film is set) teases audience expectations with their own knowledge of the rich history of noir cinema. Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice even The Last Seduction are bound to guide and confound where the plot is (or should) be going. That Petzold lingers, drops red herrings and shifts audience loyalty between the three characters is one of the joys of the piece. While in the end it comes across a bit more like precise clock work than a living, breathing simulacrum is a bit frustrating however.
Thomas, recently discharged (dishonorably) from the German army is relieved of his discharge funds from his alienated friends, to whom he owes a large sum of money. Broke, with the financial means of renovating the decrepit family home completely evaporated (along with his friends), he is only barely getting by with unemployment office posted jobs. Things take a decided turn when he encounters Ali, a well off owner of a series of falafel huts, with a penchant for drinking and driving. After finding Ali and his Range Rover in the Elbe River, he lies to the police about who was driving. This leads to Thomas getting gainful employment as a driver for Ali as he collects from all his shops. Ali, a wealthy self made Turkish immigrant, doesn’t trust anyone, and Thomas physical presence comes in handy for keeping his shifty franchisees in line. Thomas quickly becomes close to both Ali and his gorgeous German wife, played exquisitely by the über talented Nina Hoss (one of the best (and beautiful) actresses currently working in German cinema). See where the film is going? Perhaps you do. Maybe not.
The trio of performances are pitch perfect insofar as they are both skin deep and subtly vague. Thomas (played by the flexible Benno Fürmann) is a blank slate, smart enough, and watching, he still has some elements of the classic patsy, his posture hints at cockiness although it may just be aloofness or stoicism. Hoss is cool, sexy, desperate and perhaps not as bright as she lets on. Ali (Himli Sözer) is a fireball of suspicion, arrogance, calculation and yet somehow, his immigrant/outsider status offers an interesting form of sympathy. The film as the tiniest morsel to say about how easily money (or lust) compromises trust an where exactly the line between temptation and entrapment lies. But mainly the film lets the actors bump and grind along, against the varied backgrounds of the town shops, verdant countryside and empty beaches. The pacing and construction create comforting notion (perhaps a smugness) of where the film is headed before yielding a twist that is not a twist. In the end, it is a fun and interesting ride, but less revolutionary or re-inventing than it is simply a flippant riff on the genre.

The art team at Sideshow wanted to tell some new stories about some of our favorite Star Wars characters and, with the encouragement of Lucasfilm, created the Mythos line of statues which has proved to be a huge fan favorite!
With the Mythos Darth Maul, Sideshow was paying homage to a story from the Star Wars Tales comic titled “Nameless.” In it, Maul is tasked to track down and assassinate a legendary Jedi with technique so pure he wields only a wooden club. After being once defeated, Maul fabricates his signature dual lightsaber, inspired by Sith schematics and weapons of his native people.
Per Sideshow, “We have envisioned him in a strong, almost meditative martial artist pose. He is dressed in loose garments not unlike that of a Ronin samurai, with one sleeve off and fabric draped to expose tattoos on his upper body. He stands with both arms extended, one clutching his victorious new weapon at his side, and the other out in a Force push.”

Four Jamaican bobsledders dream of competing in the Winter Olympics, despite never having seen snow. With the help of a disgraced former champion desperate to redeem himself, the Jamaicans set out to become worthy of Olympic selection, and go all out for glory.
Make no mistake, Cool Runnings is not the true story of the Jamaican Bobsled team. It is inspired by it, but this is not a documentary. Still, despite that, it does capture the spirit of the team and the derision they faced. In a fun and entertaining way, the filmmakers displayed the true lesson of the team: if you have a dream, go after it, no matter what anyone else says.


Be careful what you ask for. I've written about women in film and the need for more. Linked below are a few blog posts about women in film. Filmmaking is a man's world, although it didn't start out that way, and needn't continue that way. Women have made some progress, and then that progress was squashed. It's uncommon to have a woman screenwriter, director, producer. Katherine Bigelow has directed two box office hits recently. Both involve war. The latest film riled people about torture as a means to an end. I was looking forward to seeing Olympus Has Fallen. I like action adventure, hero journey epics, rescue operation movies. The reviews I read this morning changed my mind. I will not be seeing the movie. Torture is featured again. And a woman screenwriter is involved. Is this now what it takes for a woman to get a job in Hollywood? Some whacked version of traumatic bonding/Stockholm syndrome? WTF? And how do we fix this?

Oscar winner Russell Crowe is being – ahem – floated as the possible lead in a big-budget movie about Noah’s ark.
The “Gladiator” star is reportedly being considered to star in “Noah,” an epic being helmed by “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky. “I can’t tell you that this is all going to lead to a deal but signs are pointing that way,” Deadline Hollywood’s Mike Fleming writes on the show-business website.
In the running for another role in the movie is Liam Neeson, currently battling killer wolves in “The Grey.”
Whether or not he takes the part, Crowe’s staying busy these days. Among his upcoming movies is next year’s “Man of Steel,” in which he and Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer play Superman’s biological parents.

Quentin Tarantino has said that the Hollywood community made fun of two prominent Israeli directors “in an antisemitic way”.
Last week, the prolific director spoke in a Jerusalem Film Festival panel, where he expressed the admiration of both himself and his Pulp Fiction partner, Roger Avery, for Israeli directors Menachem Golan and Yoram Globus and their company, Cannon Films. “I loved Cannon Films in the ’80s. I was really enamoured with that company. We thought if we could meet Menahem and Yoram, they would give us a chance,” he said.
He added that “the American press and trade papers would make fun of them, the Hollywood community would make fun of them and not take them seriously and frankly, in an antisemitic way.” Mr Tarantino added: “What me and Roger saw were two guys trying to take on the industry, trying to take on Hollywood and make the movies they wanted to make.”

Stephen King wrote the screenplay with revisions by Adam Alleca and Mark Leyner.
When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell (Cusack) is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected “phoners.”

Nitro Star Sudhir Babu to play the lead role in an untitled period drama
Most big-budget pan-India films these days are set in a period drama setting. Sudheer Babu, an actor, is the most recent to jump on board.
His 18th film will be a collaboration with Gnanasagar Dwaraka, a second-time filmmaker, and Sumanth G Naidu, a budding producer. The film's creators announced it today without revealing the title.
The Nitro Star, as the 'Sammohanam' and 'V' actor is now known, will play a physically strong role in this promising project. Sree Subrahmanyeshwara Cinemas is one of the most expensive outings.
Two of the main characters in the film are Arun Gowli from South Bombay and Subramanyam from Kuppam in the Chittoor district. According to the plot, the hero rushes in to solve a pressing problem.
A major update will be released on October 31. "This periodic action drama with a divine element takes place in Kuppam in 1989. It has a high Telugu nativity "the creators stated
The actor from 'Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali' is enthusiastic about the project. 'HUNT' and 'Mama Mascheendra' are his upcoming films.


Updated: Aug 3, 2021
The comedy star Stephen Chow and the best genre film director of Hong Kong Herman Yau co-directed this black comedy about extras' straggles and lives in Mainland Chinese film industry.
"Chinese Dream'' is concerned here. A part-time extra actress Ru Meng (E Jingwen) has worked as an extra in Mainland China for ten years and she is now in her 30s. This reflects Jingwen's real age (1989-) in 2019.
In other words, the directors intentionally synced Jingwen and Ru Meng. This feature is her first major leading role debut. The creators' realism is proved by the tight relation and coincidence between the actress and the character.
The Russian realist theatre actor Constantin Stanislavski (1863-1938) was cited by this film. And some of his words remind us of the filmmakers' conscious efforts on acting.
''The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his part, their joint feelings and subconscious creation.'' - Constantin Stanislavski Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/constantin_stanislavski
The creation of joint feelings and their subconscious creation are core values in this film. For example, Ru Meng is deceived by her boyfriend, he is turned out to be a contract boyfriend, a kind of prostitution job in China. This moment of truth on the rainy street sequence is critically important in this film.
After extra Ru Meng and her idol star Ma Ke (Wang Baoqiang)'s comical encounters and interactions in shooting of various films, their relationship changes into the opposite. One is obsolete actor Ma Ke, and the other is new star Ru Meng. She gets the big opportunity on Stephen Chow's new film audition, and she recreate the moment of truth with joint feelings subconsciously. Yes, Jingwen herself in real life actually also participated Stephen Chow's new film audition. As the result, the role and the actor's inner life is highly synchronised. This kind of attempt in a partially biographical film is unique and creatively insightful than ordinary commercial stuff in Hong Kong.
Besides these, the family relationship between Ru Meng and her father is something additional and typical among actors whose family background is not art field. Like everybody's father who wants their son or daughter has a decent job opposes the most unstable kind of job in film/TV industry, however they are always care about their son or daughters' working conditions, and when some big opportunity comes, then they eagerly and unexpectedly help their son or daughter to get the chance.
This is a recommend movie and the best of 2019. However, they depict brutal and inhuman working conditions and violence among film workers as something funny and justifiable in individualist idealism. Bearing that kind of inhuman conditions is compensated by becoming a star or not. It lacks of the unionised workers' viewpoint against inhuman and alienated working environment. Individual success cannot solve the environmental social issues in general. Just turns yourself into the opposite side, and you will and have to do the same to the worker's side.
Film cannot solve any social problem but this is actually funny and shows momentum of Mainland Chinese film industry, thus this film cannot be made in Hong Kong or other part of China where independent film industry does not exist or extras are free volunteers.

Grab the popcorn.
In its 68th year, the Melbourne International Film Festival has unveiled a record-breaking program, jamming 259 feature films, 123 short films and 16 virtual reality experiences into just 18 days.
A major drawcard for this year’s program is the first opportunity in Melbourne to catch Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, starring Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino and Brad Pitt.
A previous MIFF announcement already announced ABC journalist Stan Grant’s documentary The Australian Dream as the opening night gala, but it’s now been revealed that Lulu Wang’s touching film The Farewell will be the closing night gala screening. Based on a true story, the film follows a Chinese family who decides to keep their terminally ill grandmother in the dark about her final weeks.
Other notable films heading to silver screens across the city include world premieres of H is For Happiness and boxing film Kairos. What’s more, Matthew McConaughey plays a weed-smoking free spirit in The Beach Bum and Adam Driver, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton take down zombies in deadpan comedy The Dead Don’t Die. With 31 world premieres and 160 Australian premieres all up, there’s plenty for film snobs to brag about at their next social event.
The Melbourne International Film Festival runs between Thursday August 1 and Sunday August 18. Head to the festival website for the full program. Tickets for the full program go on sale to the public Friday July 12.

Check out the new international trailer for The Fate of the Furious below:
Here’s the official synopsis for The Fate of the Furious:
Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before.
From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.
