Caught the local premiere of the notorious cult classic (?), The Room, at The Projector on Saturday (25th July 2015) with Louise and Wei Li (Wheels). When Wheels told us about it our first reaction was yes, let’s do it — we’d been making references to and spurting lines from the film for years. I had heard of theatre screenings of the film being done in cinemas in North America and the antics that go on during. I went into the film hoping that the atmosphere wouldn’t be dampened — this is Singapore, not exactly known for the enthusiastic appreciation of things “so bad, it’s good“.
The Projector wasn’t hard to find, minus the fact that we mixed up Golden Mile Complex and Golden Mile Tower. Finding ourselves in a lift full of skimpily dressed sequined ladies and a cloud of cigarette smoke wasn’t the most comfortable experience. When we entered they handed each audience member a few plastic spoons and I was ecstatic because I’d considered bringing my own but ended up being too lazy to. A few guys even dressed up in tuxedos for the event. The crowd of maybe a hundred was made up of… for lack of a better word, hipsters and foreigners (not mutually exclusive). They were a fun group to watch the film with, unafraid to yell things at inappropriate intervals.
The film was slated to run at 9:30 PM but there were a few delays and the reel began only around 10. Before the actual screening a staff member came on stage and gave some pointers on what phrases to yell out during certain scenes — I found that kind of puzzling at first, because I’d assumed the process was wholly organic: just jeer, cheer and throw spoons whenever you liked but I guess this pre-show guide did help foster a kind of orderly chaos, which wasn’t unpleasant.
I’d watched the film before, grainy and with poor audio quality on YouTube, but nothing could have prepared me for the gratuitous shot of Tommy Wiseau’s (“Johnny”) pasty, wrinkled ass on the big screen. The audience screamed accordingly and with derision at almost every scene — “OH MY GOD, UNFOCUS!” “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?” “SPOON!” Iconic moments (“I did naaaaht. O hai Mark!”) were repeated word for word by seasoned viewers of this godawful film. There was hardly a quiet moment during the screening; the air was filled with either loud yelling, cackling laughter or feigned gasps as the poor attempt at a romantic, psychological drama morphed into a surreal comedy. It was glorious.
The film concluded (spoilers ahead) aptly with Johnny’s suicide, as the brain cells of those viewing it took several gunshots to the mouth as well. All in all it was an enjoyable experience I didn’t mind paying $11 for. The crowd dispersed and the lights slowly undimmed revealing the floor of the venue — littered with white plastic spoons. As we quickly shuffled off to catch the last bus, I figured that I’d probably never felt more comfortable shouting profanity and sexual innuendo at fictional characters in a public setting. Maybe it was because the venue was dark, giving me some form of anonymity, or that everyone else was jeering along with me — a sense of solidarity.
Or maybe The Room was just so fucking bad I couldn’t help myself.

From the wrong way to the way home
In both faith and life, everyone must find his or her own way: an elaborate film by young people from Eastern Germany—which missed its premier, not once, but three times—tells of precisely this experience.
Emely has always been the darling of her small cosy congregation. People here have known each other for decades. The children grow up together, enjoy excursions together, and gather often for group celebrations. And so it is that everyone is delighted when Emely is confirmed—the whole congregation celebrates with her.
But what happens next is puzzling: Emely has not been at church or youth activities for weeks. Instead, people would see her running around with other young people. And who is her new friend Matt?
A total of 29 actors, a dozen filming locations, and seven different filming sessions make this 37-minute film quite special. Under the direction of Marco Irrgang, and with the collaboration of the congregations of Borna and Naunhof, the New Apostolic youth in and around Borna (Eastern Germany) have picked up on a scenario that will likely be familiar to many congregations.
Straight out of congregational life
The film “The narrow way” takes a closer look at a small New Apostolic congregation. Viewers are introduced to the choir, the ministers, the youth leader, the seniors, and a young sister with her family. Everything seems perfectly coordinated, not least of all the sequence of events in the family’s typical Sunday morning.
Suddenly the peace is disturbed when the young girl takes a different path of her own—much to the dismay of her mother, who is now likewise going through an inner conflict in the congregation. One thing leads to another, and mother and daughter soon clash aggressively. Fortunately Emely’s new friend Matt is there to catch the disappointed and searching young woman...
Recognition and self-help
After a few minutes, the realistic action allows viewers to put themselves into the characters’ own shoes, identify with them, and understand them. And what’s more, they are quick to recognise themselves and their own congregations on many levels.
In addition to the vulnerability of a young family and a number of potential conflict areas within the congregation—which are only revealed by Emely's decision—the film also sheds light on the cohesive fraternal strengths of a strong congregation and the potential of the rector. The short film thus offers help for self-help in similar cases.
Busts, bad luck, and breakdowns
The film was originally to be premiered at the International Youth Day 2019 in Düsseldorf. After a technical breakdown, however, parts of the film were without sound at its first showing. The second showing was cancelled due to a double booking. After a good deal of wrangling, a replacement showing was negotiated for the Saturday following the devotional. But after a few minutes of screening, the film was cut off shortly after midnight due to a general shutdown of the hall by the management of the Düsseldorf fairgrounds.
Now the film can be seen on YouTube. And it is worthwhile to watch—because the surprise ending leaves viewers with a lesson on trusting God and a whole new take on togetherness.

Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.


I just wanted to note that nearly all of the suggestions are movies I’ve already watched. Blue Checkmarks fill the entire row in many cases.
For example, "Because you Watched Pirates: On Stranger Tides:
- Prince of Persia [Watched]
- POTC: World’s End [Watched]
- POTC: Dead Man’s Chest [Watched]
- POTC: Curse of The Black Pearl [Watched]
- POTC: Dead Men Tell No Tales [Watched]
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi [Watched}
- Black Panther [Watched].
Nearly all of my suggestions have at least half of them being movies I’ve already watched. I feel like if I’ve already watched a movie, recommending a bunch of others I’ve already watched based off that one is a bit of recursive.
All-in all, I’m really liking Jellyfin so far, and I realize it’s still pretty young, but I wanted to point this out in case nobody else has noticed this.

The romantic drama movie is released on September 28, 2018. Check out the Parahuna full Movie Download Link In Below.
The film revolves around how tremendous respect for the family’s son-in-law is how the love of married couple acts as a hindrance in life
Gurjant Singh (Kulwinder Billa) is a wannabe Parahuna (son-in-law) who is looking for a wife who is beautiful as Preeti Sapru.The opening sequence shows them as a threat to parade in front of potential in-laws, whose daughters do not match the bride’s expectations. An attempt was made to confront all these characters in each other and there is a marriage tested.
Gurjant believes (Vamika Gabbi), and they fall in love with ease. Marriage opens a grand playground for all types of sons-in-law.
The story lies in the Malwa region of Punjab and its inhabitants are called Malvas. An alcoholic Malwayi has always been the center of jokes in popular culture. Nankadar Leela Singh (Karamjit Anmol), Gurupukh Singh Patwari (Harby Sangha) and Vajir Singh Fauji (Sardar Sohi) are three such sons-in-law. They consume unlimited liquor and then reduce each other’s businesses.
They consume unlimited liquor and then reduce each other’s businesses. The futility of flexing muscles in front of your wives and in-laws is comedic.

The R&B singer — still steaming over the sleazy sex tape that Kim made with her brother Ray J — is livid that director Tyler Perry cast Kim alongside her in his new movie “The Marriage Counselor,” insiders say.
Now the former “Moesha” star, 32, is demanding that Kim stay out of her way on the set! “Brandy is telling friends that she’s furious with Tyler Perry,” a family friend divulged. “She feels that Tyler purposely cast both her and Kim in the film because it would generate a lot of buzz. She’s told anyone who’ll listen that she hates working with Kim and she doesn’t want to be anywhere near her. Brandy has even asked the production people to give her a heads-up if Kim is on the set because she doesn’t want to run into the wannabe movie star!
“Brandy is still embarrassed that her brother is ‘out there’ for everyone to see. She also believes that Kim — or someone close to her — put out the tape to make money. Brandy is livid about having to work with Kim, but she can’t pull out of the film because she needs the paycheck.”

The internationally award-winning film, "The Phoenix Lights Documentary," premiered March 13th 2005 at the Harkins Shea-14 Theater in Scottsdale, Arizona to sold-out audiences. Harkins extended the run for five weeks and added additional locations in Arizona, including Prescott and Sedona.
The film won Best Director at the 2005 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival and was an official selection for the 2005 Los Angeles International Independent Film & Video Festival.
The documentary screened at several theaters in California, including a V.I.P. screening at Warner Brothers Studios August 2005, and was presented at several major UFO conferences including the 36th Annual International MUFON Symposium in Denver, Colorado and the X-Conference in Washington, DC.
The Phoenix Lights Documentary won Best Documentary at the First Annual Sci-Fi Festival in Tempe, Arizona and was nominated Best Documentary Feature at the San Fernando Valley International Film Festival, March 2006.
On March 12th, 2006 the documentary was presented in three exclusive shows at the Harkins Shea-14 Theatre in Scottsdale, Arizona in celebration of the 9th anniversary of the event. The first two shows completely sold out the largest theater. Also in March, the film screened at The Hericane Festival of Women's Art in Saskatoon, Canada.
In May 2006, The Phoenix Lights Documentary was an Official Selection at the New Jersey International Film & Screenplay Festival where it was nominated for Best Documentary Feature. In addition, the film was officially selected into the Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Gloria Film Festival where it also received a Best Documentary Feature nomination.
In August 2006, The Phoenix Lights Documentary sold out Landmarks' Crossroads Cinema in Boulder, Colorado. A year earlier, the documentary sold out a large theater in Nevada City, California. The large turnout was very unusual for such a small town which prompted the theater to add two additional screenings.
In October 2006, the film was an Official Selection at the FAIF International Film Festival (Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood), the Westwood International Film Festival, Australian International Film Festival and the Brilliant Light Festival in Los Angeles. To date, the film has received three nominations for Best Documentary Feature and two international awards for Best Documentary Feature and Best Director.

‘Hairspray’ keeps its bounce at Fair Park Music Hall
by Lawson Taitte
Nearly six years after it debuted on Broadway, Hairspray is turning out to be the most influential musical of the decade. To figure out why, check out the touring version that the Dallas Summer Musicals opened Tuesday.
Three things make Hairspray special: The stage adaptation of John Waters’ cult movie adds just the right dash of sincerity so that the formerly tongue-in-cheek story about an overweight teen determined to integrate 1962 Baltimore taps into a deep American mythos, the pursuit of happiness. The score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman forges 1960s pop styles into beautifully crafted Broadway songs, and Jerry Mitchell’s choreography (lovingly re-created here by Danny James Austin) keeps the fizz in the phosphate for all 2 ½ hours.
Here’s the plot: Plus-size Tracy Turnblad (Brooklynn Pulver) tries out for a local TV dance show but is rejected by the evil producer. In detention, she picks up new steps from some black kids. Her new routine catches the TV host’s eye and gets her a berth on the show, where the heartthrob, Link (Taylor Frey), eventually realizes he likes Tracy better than the producer’s haughty daughter. But when Tracy insists that the black kids should be able to appear on the tube more than the one day a month to which they’ve been consigned, trouble erupts.
The big gimmick, carried over from the film, is that Tracy’s mom, Edna, is played by a man in drag. Edna is so sensitive about her weight that she hasn’t left the house in years, but Tracy fixes that, too. The point of the show is the people who’ve been discriminated against win out in the end.
Although this tour features a young, non-Equity cast, it maintains standards. Ms. Pulver seems so competent and practiced that she skirts falling into routine, but her singing is exceptional. In fact, most of the performers show off strong voices. It’s a good thing, though, that a lot of the audience has already seen the musical movie remake, because the lyrics are even harder to understand than usual in the intractable Music Hall acoustics.
The performers zip through all the dance numbers as if their shoes were filled with helium, too.
For me, the most memorable aspect of this edition of Hairspray is Jerry O’Boyle’s Edna. More than anyone else I’ve seen do the role, he really acts it. He never affects a self-consciously feminine gesture, but you believe him as a woman. He’s got great comic timing, too – and his big number with his stage husband, Wilbur (Dan Ferretti) – “(You’re) Timeless to Me” – brings down the house.
Even though the incessant, smarmy double-entendres clash with the musical’s intrinsic sweetness and social conscience, Hairspray is beginning to feel pretty timeless itself.

Pride of the show: Steve Clancy as Mr Darcy, director Jim Cheesley and Ebony Hope as Elizabeth Bennet.THE Highlands Theatre Group’s next production – Pride And Prejudice — will open next month.
It is an exciting production for director Jim Cheesley who is the playwright for this version of the book.
In 2011 the local Jane Austen Society approached the Highlands Theatre Group to see if they would be interested in re-enacting Pride And Prejudice for the 200-year anniversary in 2013.
While many people will remember the BBC miniseries there is no definitive stage play based on the novel.
With a story which takes place in so many settings — private residences and rooms, towns, parks and country walks — there are inherent difficulties in trying to accommodate the play, with limited space backstage to house a limited number of sets.
“The challenge was to keep as much of the story as it was written as I could,” Cheesley said.
The Highlands Theatre Group is confident that this show will be a popular one.
“There was a huge turnout at auditions which made it a long and arduous process but the result is a very high quality cast,” Cheesley said.
Pride And Prejudice will be on at Mittagong Playhouse, Bowral Road, Mittagong, from April 12 to 27. Tickets are $24 (adults), $20 (concession) and $18 (group bookings 10 people minimum for one performance).

03 August 2016Have you every watched a show that made you bawl so much till your eyes turn red and eyelids turn all puffy and your mucus just keeps flowing from your nose. I have.
Me Before You (2016) by Thea Sharrock
Sorry to disappoint anyone but I'm a sucker for soppy romantic movies. I cried so hard while watching "The Theory of Everything" by James Marsh (2014) during my 6hr flight to South Korea so, all is well.
I recommend this movies with both of my hands high up. I'll personally rank this movie top 3 in my favorite movie of all time list. Its that good.
Not sure if any male audience would like to spend almost 2hrs of their time watching something sentimental and slow paced but I'm sure most women would LOVE it. Unless you're the sort that hates this genre of Romeo and Juliet, then FUCK OFF.
Yes, this movie was based off a book, same as the movie title, "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. Guess who is gonna download the epub version on my phone.
For Thea, director of movie, props to her! This is her first debut film and she made it so well. Not sure how closely it followed the book but cinematography wise it was on point. She was able to convey the emotions that the actors portrayed to the audience, and it lingers even after the film ended.
If you haven't watched this, give it a try. You might actually end up liking it more than you think.


Saturday evening, Kellie dragged my butt to the theater to see the movie John Carter. I didn’t find the trailer all that interesting, and I didn’t want to go, but I acquiesced to her wishes. The movie was just okay, and it didn’t take me too long to recognize why she wanted to see the film. The leading male character, John Carter, played by actorTaylor Kitsch, spent most of movie flexing, clothed in little more than rags and scraps of leather.
As we were walking out of the theater, I questioned Kellie about her motivation for seeing the film. She denied any prior knowledge that the movie featured a buff young actor, strutting bare chested for the better part of 90 minutes. Kellie said it was just a nice surprise, “Like getting ice cream with chocolate on top, you just want to lick it.” Then she tried to placate me: "Honey, with your long hair, you sort of look like him – without the muscles."


This post has a lot of movie spoilers
I saw The 15:17 to Paris last night and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it because it was the worst movies I’ve seen in a very long time. And not even the type of bad movie that you can laugh away. Truly awful.
What these three young men did to save lives is incredibly heroic, and somehow Clint Eastwood managed to sour people’s lasting memory of the brave things these young men did with a really bad film.
Here are a few of the lowlights:
- The movie is incredibly poorly written, which is kind of remarkable considering the movie was based on a true story. Ruining the retelling of events that actually transpired with bad writing is quite the feat.
- If you were offended by plot holes in The Last Jedi, this film will have you considering whether or not you should go to the movies ever again. At one point two of the friends met a fellow traveler, Lisa, from Los Angeles. They immediately became friends and got gelato and took selfies together. Then Lisa disappeared. That’s all.
- Stone worked at Jamba Juice and once gave a free smoothie to a Marine, so that’s how you know he loves the military. That, and he played airsoft with his two best friends growing up.
- Both Stone and Alek have the ability to teleport as far as I can tell. They go from U.S. military bases to Portugal and Afghanistan, respectively, without ever boarding an airplane.
- Alek is in Afghanistan and forgets his backpack in another city. So his group has to go back to the previous city to get his backpack. The backpack has no significance of any kind, and nothing eventful happens in either city. Oh, except for a villager stole Alek’s hat. The hat also had no significance.
- Alek meets a girl he used to work with in Germany and they have one beer together and then she disappears too. I’m worried about where all of these women ended up.
- The acting is bad. Like, Junior High Musical bad. And it’s not really the “actor’s” fault. Eastwood decided the actual heroes should play themselves, so they had no experience of any kind. Terrible mistake.
- Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino couldn’t have made up for the holes in the script. The worst acting I’ve seen in any feature film in my life wasn’t the worst part of the movie.
I guess Eastwood was going for authentic(?), but dude straight up forgot to tell a story. It was like the equivalent of sitting through a family vacation slideshow of a total stranger’s family. And then at the end there’s a whole bunch of blood to make it clear that these guys risked their lives.
Maybe a documentary could have been a better angle here? Or not having these guys play themselves? Or rewriting the script entirely and starting over? Lots of possibilities
The scene on the train that they show over and over again in the trailer makes up roughly 20 minutes of a 94 minute film. All 94 minutes easily could have been spent on the train. Liam Neeson did it just last week!
Bottom line, these young guys really did perform some heroics on a train in France. I encourage you to read about their story. It’s amazing, and unfortunately this film does it almost no justice.
Please do not spend any money seeing this film. I’ve been through enough for all of us.
I think I’m done now.
Have you seen it yet? What’d you think?


One of the most engaging and fun novels I’ve read this year was Lisa Matchev’s Eyes Like Stars. It’s made quite a splash in the blogging community, and I can honestly say I wish this novel all the best. Because it’s hilarious without verging on camp, it’s outright fun without a lack of depth, and it has a rollicking plot that keeps (or will keep) all of its readers glued to the page.
The star of the show is Bertie, heroine and mischief-maker extraordinaire. But if she were going to be upstaged, it would be by her motley entourage of sprites or the elusive, dangerous Ariel. Even Shakespeare’s character Ophelia shows surprising emotional depth in this tale.
And that’s what this frolic is at its heart: a tale, a play on words, a play on plays, a grand playground of the imagination. Of course there are a few miniscule flaws – after all, the author is human (or is she?) – but the overall performance is strong, and Mantchev delivers creative, wondrous prose. At the risk of sounding like Mantchev’s publicist, this woman completely ROCKS, and her story does too. Only moreso. Thus, if you haven’t already, you should get yourself in on the dramatic adventure (pun intended) that is Eyes Like Stars.
Enter Stage Right
All her world's a stage.
Beatrice Shakespeare Smith is not an actress, yet she lives in a theater.
She is not an orphan, but she has no parents.
She knows every part, but has no lines of her own.
Welcome to the Théâtre Illuminata, where the characters of every place ever written can be found behind the curtain. They were born to play their parts, and are bound to the Théâtre by The Book—an ancient and magical tome of scripts. Bertie is not one of them, but they are her family—and she is about to lose them all and the only home she has ever known.
Lisa Mantchev has written a debut novel that is dramatic, romantic, and witty, with an irresistible and irreverent cast of characters who are sure to enchant the audience.
Recommended for: EVERYONE, but especially anyone with an inexplicable attraction to bright colors. Also, fairy and theater fans, and those who can appreciate well-written coming-of-age fiction.


Note: this essay is filled with spoilers right from the beginning. Do not read until you have seen Ghost Stories.
Ghost Stories, directed by Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson, is an intensely disturbing horror film that also conjures a sense of ontological horror through its slippery notion of reality. Its portmanteau structure has drawn comparison with Dead of Night and other, more recent horror anthologies, but the overall structure of the film is much closer to Jacob’s Ladder. In both films, it transpires at the end that everything that has constituted the content of the film has in fact been a hallucination, or a final dream before the death of the lead character. Both films can thus be seen as types of psychomachia, a medieval morality play that depicts what happens to a person after death. In Ghost Stories the lead character is named Goodman which reinforces the notion that he is an Everyman figure familiar from the medieval morality plays. Continue reading “Ghost Stories”


Last week, we held our annual Music Café concert to an audience of over 160 parents and students!
The entire show was produced and directed by one of Delphi’s High School students, who has a dream to make music her life-long career.
All of the music was live – there were no recorded tracks for any of the performers. Professionalism, teamwork, confront, discipline and organization were some of the qualities that were brought to light through this activity, even for the students who worked behind-the-scenes in set design, program design, sound and lighting.
When asked about the experience of producing a show, our producer said:
“Even though there were moments when things seemed overwhelming, I was able to overcome the obstacles I was faced with. It was a fantastic experience and I’ve learned many important skills. I also appreciate the work of all the cast and crew in helping put this show together!”

So, what’s the big deal?
The deal is that Seven Samurai revolutionised storytelling in filmmaking and it continues to influence films to this day – and I’m not talking about The Magnificent Seven remake. Seven Samurai introduced Japanese cinema into Western culture, it was the first film to use the ‘group of adventurers’, the ‘hero introduction’ which we see in most action films; slow-motion action scenes, hordes of bad guys coming over the hill, the list is endless.
Without Seven Samurai there would be no Star Wars Jedi, no Ocean’s Eleven or Dirty Dozen, and Bruce Willis would be asking if you want fries with that.
Seven Samurai is also complex: class divide, unrequited love, honour (of course), and ultimately it questions the morality of good versus evil.
The farmers have won. We have lost.

Yachts, camera, action! Over more than 60 years, numerous stunning, spellbinding Riva vessels have made appearances on cinema and television screens all over the world: from auteur films to the biggest blockbusters and huge national hits.
With breathtaking photos and unmissable reviews, “Riva in the Movie” tells the stories of the numerous films in which Riva creations have played important roles, in many cases taking centre stage and stealing the spotlight from nationally and internationally renowned stars.
This fascinating cultural and publishing project features 300 pages, 39 films with their original posters, 300 pictures of scenes and life backstage, 77 actresses and 110 actors. They all come together in an exquisite, enchanting book whose words and pictures masterfully intertwine the stories of the modern nautical and film scenes.
Every film is accompanied by a summary of events from the year when it was released and an overview of a Riva model from the time. This helps to paint a detailed picture of society and the world as a whole in the period in question.
The films were shot in some spectacular locations, including the French Riviera, Venice, the Costa Smeralda, Lake Como, Ischia, Capri, Lake Maggiore, Forte dei Marmi, Cannes and Nice. The many A-Listers that can be seen on board Riva yachts include Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Clark Gable, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson, George Clooney, Matt Damon and Vincent Cassel.
“Riva in the Movie” tells a captivating story with a thread in Riva’s trademark aquamarine hue running through it all of the way from Mambo starring the divine Silvana Mangano in 1954 to 2019’s Men in Black: International with the handsome Chris Hemsworth, who also plays Thor from the Avengers.
The unmistakable style of Riva yachts, which are described and pictured in all of their glory, has lit up films of all kinds for more than 60 years: from the drama of Contempt and Il Sorpasso, Agatha Christie mysteries and thrillers such as Nikita to a number of instalments in the James Bond series and Italian comedies, including Vacanze di Natale, Yuppies and Suddenly Paradise, not to mention genres that have been confined to history such as the “musicarelli” that showcased the talents of Mina, Domenico Modugno, Al Bano and Romina Power. “Riva in the Movie” will appeal to film fans (the reviews by Franco Barbolini are full of interesting facts and details about the production of the films) and all lovers of the legendary Riva, which is dazzlingly, entrancingly depicted thanks to numerous old photographs and meticulous descriptions of every model.


This Brad Pitt movie is Netflix's most popular drama now. Here's why you should watch it
Netflix never ceases to surprise us when it comes to making classic films more popular than ever. This week, The Big Short shot to the top of Netflix’s 10 most popular movies list despite only achieving moderate success in theaters when it was released in 2015. Adam McKay co-wrote and directed The Big Short, and it remains one of the best films that he has ever made.
The movie is based on Michael Lewis’ hit nonfiction book, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, which chronicles the financial crisis of 2007-2008 as the housing bubble collapsed and the economy crashed just in time for the 2008 election. Somehow, McKay and his co-writer, Charles Randolph, took that depressing episode in American history and made a great comedy out of it. That’s no easy task!
Now that The Big Short is enjoying its streaming afterlife, we’re going to share three reasons why you should watch it.
The Big Short may not have had a blockbuster budget, but it boasted a lineup of performers that any director would love to have. Former Batman star Christian Bale gets a lot to do as Michael Burry, one of the first investors to realize that the housing market is on the verge of collapse. The Office‘s Steve Carell also has a prominent role as an investor named Mark Baum. Brad Pitt plays a supporting role as veteran trader Ben Rickert, a man who helps Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling) and Charlie Geller (John Margo) profit off of the coming collapse while also reminding them about the human cost of their actions.
Even the supporting cast is an embarrassment of riches with Jeremy Strong, Marisa Tomei, Finn Wittrock, and more. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that The Big Short has excellent performances throughout the film. Sometimes, the stars really do make the movie.
One of the biggest challenges facing The Big Short is that it’s full of the inner workings of Wall Street that few outsiders understand. McKay’s solution is that he takes several asides to explain the market terminology and underlying factors in a humorous way. As much as some people might run away from anything that’s considered educational, this movie really is inventive with the way it gets the information across.
Of course, it helps when these micro lessons are imparted by very familiar faces, including Only Murders in the Building‘s Selena Gomez (pictured above), Barbie star Margot Robbie, and even the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. These sequences pull off the neat trick of being truly informative and yet also funny and entertaining at the same time. If economics classes were this fun, there would be a lot more day traders.
If The Big Short was simply a fictional story, it would still be wildly successful on its own terms. But the film’s attention to detail and historical accuracy elevates it to another level. It’s not just a cautionary tale — it’s a warning. Unscrupulous banking and trading practices crashed the U.S. economy, and the odds are good that it will happen again. Someone is always betting on the markets to fail.
And while this movie changes some of the names and attempts to humanize the main players, it’s a master study in its depiction of greed. Unfortunately, the lessons gleaned from this recounting are likely to be ignored by the same people who would do it all again in a heartbeat.
Watch The Big Short on Netflix.

Please be sure to rsvp so we can plan accordingly.
When Bart Millard (Brody Rose) was 11, his mother left him with his gruff, angry father (Dennis Quaid). As he grows up, the boy listens to Christian music for inspiration and eventually puts his feelings into his own music, as he discovers that he has a special talent.
However, his father is less than supportive, calling Bart's music a "stupid dream" and telling him he's going nowhere. With nothing tying him down, Bart (J. Michael Finley) decides to leave town. He puts all his pain regarding his father into his songs and enjoys incredible success. But can he find forgiveness and give it?
"We may not share the particulars of Bart’s journey, but in a broken world, each of us knows the sense of despair he faced—the fear that some relationship is so far gone that not even God could set things right again."
Join us March 7th for Bart's incrediably journey.


Spilt Ink Theatre awarded Trinity’s Young Audiences Commission
" Spilt Ink Theatre Company have been awarded Trinity’s Young Audiences Commission to develop a new piece of work for 3-10 year olds. The £6,000 commission has been made possible through the support of the Cultural Recovery Fund.
Spilt Ink are a physical theatre company who create playful, joyful and fun work with and for communities and children. During their development commission they will be exploring the themes of home and identity.
“We will create a fantasy ‘home’ rooted in real stories of our multicultural community. It will explore both the physical sensation of home and the cultural meaning of home. We will question what home means to ourselves, as diverse artists, and to the multicultural local community of East Bristol.”
They will work with Trinity and local community partners to deliver creative and playful workshops with local children and families; sharing and exploring the stories of the many communities living in Lawrence Hill and Easton.
Spilt Ink were selected for the commission following an open call out that received 20 project proposals. Their project, Home, stood out to our parent-led selection panel - made up of staff, volunteers and community reps - for the way it placed co-creation at its core and young people at the centre of deciding where the project journey would take them.
Between its members - Lebanese/Italian actor and theatre maker Nathalie Codsi, Bristol-based international theatre director, community arts facilitator and performer Hester Welch, and British actor, puppeteer/ theatre maker Sarah Cribdon, Spilt Ink have a wealth of experience of working with diverse communities across the world and we look forward to seeing where Home will take them."

A highly engaging courtroom investigation of the rape case of a blind girl. A few minutes into the beginning, we are clearly shown the crime, as well as who did it. There is no suspense regarding who did the crime. Despite that, the movie keeps us hooked through a mix of curiosity, thrill, and empathy from start to finish.
Jeetu Joseph has demonstrated his storytelling skill, and his ability to keep the audience hooked once again. The story is a pretty simple one. A simple family shattered by a crime – how that family reaches out to a lawyer who is not currently practising (because no other lawyer would take up the case), and how the courtroom proceedings lead to justice – all these are presented engagingly.
The detailing of the crime, the proceedings of the courtroom and how the defence and prosecution step up their game are presented interestingly (except on a couple of occasions where evidences are presented to the court in a cinematic manner – that too is justified accordingly).
Mohanlal and Priyamani aced in their performance – even though there is nothing much to emote, their dialogue delivery and body language are awesome. Anaswara plays the blind victim girl and she has done a commendable job.
The intricacies of law matters regarding the crime, and how lawyers and criminals can use them to dodge justice – though not surprising to know – fit in the screenplay and support the narration.
It is a big relief that the movie doesn’t have scenes depicting drama post crime, or being preachy against the crime – Jeethu Joseph gets out the statement in a rather diplomatic and strong manner.
The movie is available on HotStar. Tamil language is also available. Teens and pre-teens can watch the movie with parental guidance, avoiding the crime scenes.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Crafting a story around a central character who engages with the world from somewhere on the autism spectrum is challenging. It's a delicate balance between exploiting stereotypes and investing in an often misunderstood perspective. Christopher, played beautifully by Adam Langdon on the night I attended (played by Benjamin Wheelwright for alternate showtimes), is immediately recognizable as That Kid from anyone's childhood: brilliant, impossible, socially struggling. Langdon perfectly captures the physicality of Christopher's world, aided throughout by expert lighting and sound that drive home the intensity of even the smallest action when one lives life as hyper alert, hyper aware, hyper sensitive.
The play begins with Christopher's discovery of the murdered dog of a neighbor, inspiring an obsessive desire to solve the heinous crime. What begins as one specific mystery leads quickly to bigger, darker mysteries surrounding Christopher's home life and each unraveling sends Christopher spinning. While Christopher is certainly the driver of the story, he is anchored onstage by expert turns from Maria Elena Ramirez, playing Siobhan, a loving, dedicated teacher, and Gene Gillette, playing Christopher's father, Ed. The people who love Christopher circle him, sometimes from a safe distance, and attempt to help him make sense of an often nonsensical environment.
There is no perfect resolution to this story. For that reason, it seems to beat with a real, bloody heartbeat. It's noisy, funny, heartbreaking, overwhelming, bright, and in the end, beautiful. In other words, well worth a trip to the Orpheum.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is playing now through December 4th. You can purchase tickets online at the Hennepin Theatre Trust and don't forget the rush seats available for students and teachers!

Jonathan Weirich (Y–rik) is a professional actor, filmmaker, and artist.
Originally a towhead kid from Perth Amboy, NJ, Jonathan spent his formative years in South Jersey, though he'll deny this ever happened. He claims his parents' hometown near Pittsburgh as his own.
He went through an incredibly awkward adolescence that seemed like a cruel joke. Luckily, he grew out of that.
He went to college and studied business, which was an incredibly awkward education that seemed like a cruel joke. Luckily, he grew out of that, as well.
While at school, Jonathan minored in Philosophy, traveled the Far East, and listened to jazz and old Stax records while living in the international dorm. His perspectives on education and life began to change.
After graduating, Jonathan took advantage of his degree in Finance and Philosophy by becoming an actor. He likened the experience of showing up in New York City with no contacts and very little experience to being dropped into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and told to start swimming towards shore. He's still swimming. Along the way, he's acted in off-Broadway plays, commercials, industrials, television, student films, short films, feature length movies, and has been a host for TV as well live comedy shows.
Through the independent film company he founded, Jake Leg Films, Jonathan has produced, written, and directed various projects, including short films, a nine episode webseries, PSA's, a documentary series, promotional films, music videos, and a travel show pilot episode.
By continuing to explore his love for literature, art and architecture, he has branched into other fields. Jonathan’s unique style of photography has led him to contract work for musicians’ album covers and actors’ headshots. His desire to follow his nephew's ever changing address has led him to photograph the heart of various cities.
Jonathan is still swimming, still changing, and happily telling everyone that he's from New York City.


Quite literally. And I'm willing to give it the benefit of some doubt because I was exhausted from painting in our new house, but honestly, I was so intrigued by the popcorn that I could have lasted the hour and a half it took to watch the movie. But it was so godawful, I couldn't help it.
First of all, the voices were all weird. To quote Stewie Griffin, it was like the "wrong sounding Muppets," took over. None of the actors who portrayed the characters in the live action films were there for this one, making the voices only slightly similar, but different. That was more annoying than had they just changed the voices altogether.
Second, the plot was horrible. Yes, we know the Clone Wars were an important event in the rise of Annikin as a Jedi, but can't we throw a little excitement in there? Somewhere?
Third, the animation was bad. I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but it was too Anime and not enough action.
All in all, I'm glad I got a short nap (I fell asleep in the last twenty minutes), because that is about all I got out of this film.


Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday have been on a pan-India promotional tour for their upcoming film Liger. Vijay’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, on Wednesday performed a pooja at their Hyderabad home to ward off evil, and tied sacred bands on the wrists of her son and Ananya. Vijay said in a tweet that now that his mother can sleep in peace as they will continue their promotional tour for Liger.

Vijay took to Twitter to share pictures with his mom and Ananya Panday after the pooja. In one of the pictures, Vijay’s mom can be seen typing a sacred band on Ananya’s wrist. “This whole month touring across India and receiving so much love already felt like God’s blessing! But mummy (mother) feels we needed his protection. So Pooja and sacred bands for all of us. Now she will sleep in peace while we continue our tour,” Vijay wrote as he tweeted the pictures.
On Wednesday, Ananya also shared photos as she visited her co-star’s home. The actor shared that Vijay’s mom hosted a pooja for their film Liger. Ananya captioned the pictures, “Blessings from Vijay’s Amma and a pooja at his home in Hyderabad for Liger. Thankful, grateful, blessed. Thank you, aunty.”
Liger marks the Bollywood debut of Vijay, who is paired opposite Ananya Panday for the first time. The film, about a mixed-martial arts boxer with a stutter, has been directed by Puri Jagannadh. For his Liger role, Vijay reportedly underwent mixed martial arts classes in Thailand. The film has been shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, and will be dubbed into other regional languages as well. Besides Telugu, Vijay has dubbed his lines in Hindi as well.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Vijay will soon reunite with director Sandeep Vanga for a film next year. The two had worked together in the Telegu hit Arjun Reddy. Last year, Sandeep took to Twitter to laud Vijay’s efforts to help middle-class families with essential groceries during the Covid-19 lockdown. Replying to Sandeep’s tweet, Vijay had said that it’s time they reunited for a new project. “I miss you, Vanga (Sandeep). Please finish 2-3 scripts in lockdown. I cannot wait two years to shoot,” Vijay had said.

Tiffany I’m extremely disappointed in you. This is a joke to you. You’ve been through anger management, you’ve been through your grandmother getting her lights turned off to buy you a swimsuit for this competition, and you go over there and you joke and you laugh? This is serious to these girls, and this should be serious to you.
You’re not sick of being disappointed, if you were sick of being disappointed you’d stand up and you’d take control of your destiny. Did you know that you had a possibility to win, did you know that all of america is rootin for you, do you know that? and then you come in here and treat this like a joke? you come in here and look at that and say “I can’t read that” you read 10 times better than half of those girls over there, and you come in here with a defeatist attitude.
This is not… this is not… Be quiet Tiffany, Be quiet. What is wrong with you? STOP IT
I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE YELLED AT A GIRL LIKE THIS. WHEN MY MOTHER YELLED LIKE THIS IT’S BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME. I WAS ROOTIN FOR YOU WE WERE ALL ROOTIN FOR YOU HOW DARE YOU. LEARN SOMETHIN FROM THIS. WHEN YOU GO TO BED AT NIGHT YOU LAY THERE AND YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF, BECAUSE NOBODY’S GONNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU. YOU ROLLIN YOUR EYES AND YOU ACT LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THE HELL I COME FROM, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’VE BEEN THROUGH. BUT I’M NOT A VICTIM I GROW FROM IT AND I LEARN.
TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR YOURSELF.
To those who say that whitewashing in Hollywood isn’t a thing:
- Irene from the movie Drive was Latina in the original novel, and her name was Irina. Carey Mulligan, a white woman, was cast in the part without an audition.
- The movie A Beautiful Mind is based on a true story. In real life, however, Alicia Nash, John Nash’s wife, is from El Salvador. She was portrayed in the film by Jennifer Connolly, a white woman.
- 30 Days of Night was based on a comic book miniseries. In the comics, however, the main character, Eben Olemaun, is an Inuit man. Futhermore, the town of Barrow, Alaska is described as being 57% Native American, 22% White, and yet in the movie, only one Inuit character was featured. You can’t tell me that all of those Caucasian extras were hired on acting ability, they don’t even talk.
- The movie 21 is based on a true story, in which most of the participants of the casino scam were Asian-American. In the movie, however, the main characters were white, and the Asian-American characters were poorly developed and badly written.
- They cast a white kid as Goku in Dragonball.Seriously. That happened.
- Dastan from Prince of Persia should have been, shocking, a Persian guy. Or, more specifically, probably Iranian. He was instead portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal, who is white. Nobody in the movie was actually Middle Eastern, if I’m not mistaken, and the movie took place in the middle of the goddamn Persian Empire, where there probably weren’t a whole lot of white people walking around. Just sayin’.
- In Isaac Marion’s book Warm Bodies, Nora was half-Ethiopian. In the movie, she’s white.
- Every single person in the goddamn The Last Airbender movie should have been Asian. The entire series was based on Asian mythologies, borrowed heavily from Asian culture, and should have been immensely culturally diverse. Instead, all of the main characters were white, except for the villains. The characters who hailed from the Fire Nation, particularly Prince Zuko, Commander Zhao, and General Iroh, were portrayed by Indian people.
- Katniss Everdeen, Gale Hawthorne, and a large portion of the other inhabitants of the Seam were described as being “olive-skinned, black-haired, and gray-eyed.” Katniss and Seeder, the Tribute from District 11, were described in the books as having similar skin tones, and Seeder was portrayed in the movie as a black woman. Even then, the casting call sent out for Katniss sought out a Caucasian actress. They didn’t even consider women that actually fit the description of Katniss from the books.
But, I mean, the best actor always wins out, right? Whitewashing is a myth, right, it doesn’t actually happen.
- Angel Coulby, a black woman, was heavily criticized for portraying Guinevere in Merlin, a character traditionally played by a white woman. She did audition for this part.
- Donald Glover, a black man, received ridiculous amounts of scrutiny and negative attention for being linked to the part of Peter Parker, a traditionally white character.
But it’s their talent that matters, right?
Nobody’s criticizing Benedict Cumberbatch, especially not after learning that he was basically duped into accepting the part of Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. Dude’s crazy talented. He’ll probably win an Oscar for something or another eventually.
The crazy talented Indian actor who could have played Khan, a Northern Indian character, and received mainstream exposure and a possible launchpad for his career, however? He won’t.

Like, ugh, sorry for the sap but I’m at a really happy place in life right now and I need somewhere to let out my built up excitement. hhh
One of my boyfriend’s friends pulled me aside at a party last night to tell me that when we initially met a couple of months ago, she started talking to me a lot because my boyfriend (before we started dating obviously) was too nervous to know how to start a conversation with me so she took it upon herself to play wingman and get me to talk about myself and my interests etc. so I’d be comfortable around them. And how she really liked me even back then, and how she was glad that I finally ended up with my boyfriend.
And the whole time she was telling me this I was nodding and “aww”-ing and shivering my ass off because I went outside with them during a smoke break. But inside I was like sobbing rainbow tears and puking kittens and I should be writing an essay but I keep thinking about how sweet that conversation was and aghhhh.


Oklahoma! corrals creative choices in a deliciously darker revival playing at the Ahmanson Theatre Sept 13 – Oct 16, perfect for pre-Halloween,
This isn’t your parent’s Oklahoma!
This revival starts with the basic plot of the original Rogers and Hammerstein’s acclaimed 1943 musical and movie. But it makes it more diverse, edgy, and dark – in several scenes, literally. It won the Tony Award for Best Revival.
This Oklahoma! starts simply enough with a simple plot on a simple set. Plot: In an Oklahoma small town, a young cocky cowboy Curly (Sean Granville) wants to take a girl Laurey (Sasha Hutchins) on a date to the local dance. But she must choose between him and another suitor: her mysterious farmhand bad boy Jud (Chris Bannow), who’s been eying her. In the subplot, Ado Annnie (Sis) must decide between two suitors of her own.
The set is simple: a bright and cheery country classroom style setting, with colorful party streamers. A flat Oklahoma fields background with a few farmhouses is the basic set for most of the show.
But there are hints that all is not as simple and cheery as they seem. Curly’s shady advances and black hat indicate he’s not such a golden boy. Jud Fry lurking down at the smokehouse gives creepy stalker vibes. Laurey appears to be the carefree innocent girl next door, but her fever dream sequence, where a barefoot dancer wearing a ‘Dream Baby Dream’ nightshirt contorts and leaps around on stage, indicates her internal torment and struggles as she must decide between her two suitors.
Their twisted love triangle gets dark quickly and literally. In several scenes, the stage goes completely dark, with just the voices of the actors, letting the audience’s imaginations take over. In a few scenes, an extremely close camera gets right up in the actors’ faces, projecting their faces huge on the three-story high background set wall, so you can see every emotion: tears and glint of malice.
All three leads give excellent acting performances. Curly’s singing vocals appear light as times, but he does play a good guitar. And it’s good contrast to Chris Bannow’s powerful deep vocals, like a powder keg ready to explode.
The refreshingly diverse cast also makes it different from the old Oklahoma. Both female leads Laurey and Ado Annie are played by black actresses. Sis steals every scene she is in as the big, black, and beautiful Ado Annie.
Several prop guns are used in the production, which emphasizes they are not actually real guns. In the program, the production says it is ‘gun neutral’: for every prop gun (there are 114 decorating the walls), the production donates $100 to anti gun non-profits.
A seven piece bluegrass band with banjo plays in the background for most of the show, serving also as the townspeople to witness the sinister story that unfolds.
So while yes it’s a musical, don’t expect happy and cheery. It’s more dark and dark humor commentary on heartland America.
Yes they sing ‘Oh What a Beautiful Morning’ and the titular ‘Oklahoma!’ but in this revival’s new context, both songs hit different.
Oklahoma! runs at the Ahmanson Sept 13 – Oct 16.

The would-be lip lock after so much bickering? Knightley says the idea was hatched not by “Pride and prejudice” director Joe Wright but well before filming began, when she and Macfadyen met in an audition room.
“I did the scene with all of the guys who were up for Darcy, because I was cast before we found Mr. Darcy. It wasn’t in the script at all. But as we were doing the scene, it just so happened that it felt right to do, right at the end. So we went through the scene, and we did it really, really quickly. We were literally in each other’s faces. And then we both went in for a kiss, and went out. There was complete silence in the room. And he was cast straight after that.”

It’s a cliché that all celebrities marry other celebrities. Well surely yeah it is common but doesn’t really apply to everyone out there. Some famous people choose to be married to someone who’s outside the spotlight. The possibilities are never ending of course. The best stories you’ll hear are about the couples who fell in love without considering anything except their feelings. And when marriages like these last, they give all of us an inspiration.
1. Matt Damon
American actor Matt Damon married Luciana Barraso in 2005. She worked as a barmaid and he met her in the bar where she worked while shooting for a movie in Miami in the year 2003. The rest is history. He has been quoted as saying that he was lucky to have fallen in love with a civilian. His reasoning was that Luciana’s insignificance in the paparazzi world didn’t change the attention that was focused on him, it stayed the way it was, the way he liked it.


Tweet I've got quite a bit of work today, but I still wanted to post something. Something related to the topic I talked about the other day, the difference between the perception of beer and wine.
Films and TV series are often a good mirror to contemporary popular culture and the other day I was thinking about how beer is portrayed in them and ended up with the following questions:
How many times have you seen beer being discussed, at least briefly, in a film or TV series? It is consumed, but not talked about.
How many times have you seen a character, main or secondary, that is a beer geek, collector or that works at something related to the brewing industry?
Is there a film or TV series where either beer or brewing, or its trade, are at the centre of the narrative? I mean something in the lines of that incredibly overrated film Sideways.
My answers: Never. Never. No.
I might be wrong, of course. But let's say I'm right, do you think the perception of beer by the general public would change if it was as something more than "just beer"?

If there is one thing I hate seeing news about, it’s the troubling efforts of producers to try and get the Uncharted movie started. It infuriates me. Sometimes I feel like book readers do when their favorite novel is turned into a major feature film. A loud groan comes out of my mouth, follow by an emphatic why? Why does there need to be an Uncharted movie? Especially when the story is told so well in the game.
Everyone Thinks Film Is the Pinnacle of Media
Apparently, something isn’t deemed a success until it’s made into a TV show or movie. It happens all the time, and I can somewhat understand the logic behind it. With comic books and novels, the narrative is limited to your imagination. Their voices, movements, and actions are all dictated by how they are portrayed in the book.
However, when the narrative is translated into film, it’s brought to life. It becomes real and exciting to see your favorite characters move and act for the first time. That’s why superhero movies work so well. We get to see our physical manifestations of our favorite characters for the first time.
Why Video Game Movies Do Not Work?
There have been several attempts to bring video games to the big screen. While some of them have found some form of success, they are all chessy. Hollywood has yet to take the medium seriously. Even if they did, I still find it hard to believe they would create anything better than the source material.
We have gotten to the point in video games where the graphics no longer look like polygons, the voice acting is top notch, and the stories are no longer made for children and pre-teens. Video games have grown up alongside gamers, and their narratives are mature and expertly directed. Sometimes as I play games like The Last of Us or Mass Effect, I feel like I’m already watching a movie. The stories have become that good.
So, when Sony decides they want to make an Uncharted movie, I say this: What experience can you offer on the big screen that I haven’t felt before while holding a controller in the palm of my hands?
