In 2023, blockbusters will be everywhere. The latest blockbuster sequels and franchises are dominating the box office, but streaming services are challenging the big screen with big stars and directors releasing new movies on Netflix, Apple TV, Disney Plus and more. From Indiana Jones and John Wick to the Expendables and the Fast and the Furious crew, will any of these myriad sequels match the mega-hit?Top Gun: Maverickin 2022, or will we see another word-of-mouth hit like Everything Everywhere All at Once?
These are the latest dates for your calendar as we celebrate the big movies (and hopefully some smaller ones) hitting the big screen andstreaming servicesin 2023 and beyond. Scroll down for a chronological list of release dates.
What's coming out next year?
The Saw and Fast & Furious series have reached their 10th entry, while Tom Cruise will repeat his Top Gun: Maverick mega-hit with Mission: Impossible #7. Creed and Kenneth Branagh's version of Hercule Poirot. Even Magic Mike makes one last run. And Harrison Ford may be in his 80s, but that won't stop the fifth Indiana Jones adventure from hitting theaters.
We've lost count of how many Transformers movies there are, but there's a new one coming in 2023. We're also returning to the world of The Hunger Games and Willy Wonka with new prequels. It's also another big year for horror: The Conjuring and Supernatural franchises continue to roll in, while horror icons The Exorcist and The Evil Dead make a resurgence.
Speaking of sequels and franchises, there are of course plenty of superhero movies. Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp kicks off the MCU, with the Guardians of the Galaxy in action for the third and possibly last time before the newer heroes move from Disney Plus to the team-up adventure The Marvels. Outside of the MCU, the long-awaited Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse also drops, and we'll see another Venom-style Spider spinoff, Kraven the Hunter. Meanwhile, comic book rivals DC are bringing back Aquaman and The Flash and also introducing a new face, the Blue Beetle.
It's not just comics being plundered for the big screen: this year's toy and game adaptations include Dungeons and Dragons, Super Mario Bros. and Gran Turismo. Disney is celebrating its 100th anniversary with the new Wish cartoon and a live-action reboot of The Little Mermaid, not to mention the Pixar movie Elemental and more.
At least some of this year's sequels and blockbusters are helmed by directors we're eager to see more of, like Nia DaCosta, Steven Soderbergh, Neil Blomkamp, and Paul King of Paddington. Indie horror icon Ben Wheatley directs Jason Statham slaying a mega shark in The Meg 2, while Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Denis Villeneuve's Dune Part 2 have viewers buzzing.
Speaking of cool filmmakers, we'll also see original films from Christopher Nolan, M. Night Shyamalan, Taika Waititi, Nicole Holofcener, Kenya Barris, Luca Guadagnino, Adele Lim, and Calmatic. And, as always, the January Sundance Film Festival showcases talented and up-and-coming independent filmmakers telling unique and unexpected stories.
But delays still happen:Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, whatmario movie,Aquaman 2,this is madameand The Flash changed everyone in the lineup. Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 7e8 has been delayed several times, whileDelays for Blade Changed Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It's been hard to keep up with all the changes, but we've let you know about the latest US release dates for late 2022 and 2023. If those dates are still in flux, we'll let you know the latest changes as we keep track as new dates are announced. And don't forget to check out our guide to2023 TV Shows.

10 Movie Product Placement Winners and Losers
There can be no doubt that if we were to list movie/brand partnerships, the James Bond franchise would be one of the most successful. Beautiful women, exotic locations and suave sophistication are not the only things that spring to mind when we think about Her Majesty’s most dedicated spy. The Aston Martin, Omega watch and Martini (shaken, not stirred) are as much a part of the movie franchise as anything else.
In his latest outing, new additions to the Bond franchise include Heineken and Coke Zero – which, although questionable to Bond purists, surely must be more appealing than the bizarre 1964 KFC partnership (Goldfinger).
Product placement in movies, and increasingly video games, is on the rise. Here are 10 of my favourite winners and epic fails of product placements in movies.
1. Top Gun – Ray Ban Aviators
Top Gun launched not just Tom Cruise’s film career, but also the sales of Ray Ban Aviators sported by Cruise’s character into stratospheric heights, with sales of the iconic sunglasses increasing by over 40 percent after the film’s release.
2. Tropic Thunder – TiVo
TiVo is a running gag throughout this 2008 movie, even serving as a crucial part of the climactic scene. With more than a dozen mentions throughout the movie, Tropic Thunder worked extraordinarily well in raising TiVo’s brand awareness.
3. Back to the Future – DeLorean
The ill-fated DeLorean was known for three things: the stainless steel body, gull-wing doors, and Back to the Future. By serving as the time machine in all three Back to the Future movies, the DeLorean earned a place in cinematic history. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to rescue DMC from bankruptcy.
4. Little Nicky – Popeye’s
Little Nicky is a classic example of how NOT to do brand placements. Satan’s son (Adam Sandler) makes multiple overt references to Popeye’s chicken, going so far as to say, “Popeye’s chicken is awesome!”. If brand placement is all about subtlety, Little Nicky definitely didn’t get the memo.
5. E.T. – Reese’s Pieces
One of the earliest and most successful product placements in movie history, Reese’s Pieces served as an important part of Spielberg’s masterpiece. Sales reportedly jumped by 65 percent after the movie’s release, kickstarting the modern product placement trend.
6. Cast Away – Wilson
Despite its dull premise, Cast Away became an international hit for two reasons: Tom Hanks, and the presence of the Wilson volleyball, called – what else – Wilson! Wilson was an intrinsic part of the plot and Cast Away’s success gave the brand a huge jump in sales globally.
7. Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle – White Castle
You know you’ve got a winner on your hands when the name of the brand is included in the movie title. As Harold and Kumar braved perils and dodged obstacles to reach White Castle (fast food restaurant), millions across the U.S. were inspired to do the same, giving White Castle a huge increase in brand recognition and sales, thanks to this 2004 stoner movie.
8. Up in the Air – American Airlines
The American Airlines product placement in George Clooney’s 2009 film was a perfect marriage of story and brand. As we follow protagonist Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) jet across the country to rack up 10 million air miles, American Airlines becomes not just a part of the story, but a part of the protagonist’s life itself.
9. The Bourne Identity – Mini Cooper
Jason Bourne is a different kind of spy hero, and The Bourne Identity a different spy movie. It’s perfectly appropriate then, that Jason Bourne’s vehicle of choice in a getaway chase is not a sports car, but a tiny Mini Cooper. The 2002 blockbuster brought the once popular Mini back into popular imagination, jump-starting sales.
10. James Bond Movies – Aston Marin
As James Bond’s vehicle of choice, Aston Martin has enjoyed the fruits of being associated with a global cinematic icon in more than 9 movies. James Bond is an aspirational man for cinema goers, and Aston Martin, by association, an aspiration brand. Few product placements feel more natural than Bond sliding behind the wheel of an Aston Martin in yet another escapade.

18 Best New Shows of 2018
A triumphant year for the "Limited Series" categoryBY ZACH DECEMBER 24, 2018
18. The RainNetflix
A Danish language, post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama. Some might say it's like The Walking Dead but with no zombies.
J.K. Simmons shines playing two versions of the same man in this Fringe-esque alternate reality sci-fi thriller
16. A Very English ScandalBBC
A three part miniseries based on the outlandishly true scandal of '60s UK politician, Jeremy Thorpe.
15. The Dragon PrinceNetflix
This spiritual successor to Avatar: The Last Airbender is every bit as light-hearted, epic, and ambitious.
14. The End of the F***ing WorldChannel 4 / Netflix
A British dark comedy brimming with personality about a psychopath and a rebel running away from home together.
Succession makes a family of irredeemably horrible rich people into a can't-look-away train-wreck with awesome music.
A tense British thriller miniseries about a troubled veteran assigned to the security detail of the UK's Home Secretary.
11. The FirstHulu
From the creator of House of Cards, a character-driven drama about astronauts who'd sacrifice anything to go to Mars.
An extremely well acted miniseries based on the true story of the ATF's 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian cult compound.
9. Patrick MelroseShowtime
Outstanding performances from Benedict Cumberbatch and Hugo Weaving in this British miniseries about a very wealthy drug addict with an abusive father.
8. The Looming TowerHulu
A fantastic series about Jeff Daniels yelling at people. The Looming Tower chronicles the clash between the FBI and CIA in dealing with the threat of Al-Qaeda and the events leading up to 9/11.
A boldly dark comedy about a hitman who moves to LA and decides he wants to be an actor. Bill Hader successfully brings the Breaking Bad anti-hero trend to the comedy category.
6. The Little Drummer GirlBBC / AMC
The second John le Carré novel turned miniseries in recent years (after The Night Manager). From the director of Oldboy. Great performance from Florence Pugh.
Reunion of Jim Carrey and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director, Michel Gondry. The third dark comedy on this list, Kidding is a deeply twisted take on an unstable Mr. Rogers type character.
4. Killing EveBBC America
The BBC is having a great 2018. This incredibly well-acted, female led spy thriller is centered around a sociopath assassin who becomes fascinated with an MI5 agent (and vice versa).
There are just too many reasons to watch Maniac. Directed by True Detective's Cary Fukunaga. Outstanding performances from Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, and particularly Justin Theroux. It clearly bears the influence of works like 2001 A Space Odyssey, Black Mirror, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Inception, The Leftovers, and Twin Peaks. It is also the only series ambitious enough in style to be compared to both Lord of the Rings and The Coen brothers.
2. Sharp ObjectsHBO
Sharp Objects is a 'slow burn' southern murder mystery on one layer and an incredible, captivatingly bleak story of abuse on so many deeper layers. Jean-Marc Vallée, who also directed Big Little Lies last year, does an outstanding job adapting the work of Gillian Flynn (also the author of Gone Girl). The series benefits immensely from its sticky southern summer setting and the 'everyone else give up and go home' awards-worthy performances from Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson.
Sam Esmail (creator of Mr. Robot) wins the #1 spot with his flawless series, Homecoming. The series, adapted from a podcast of the same name, combines the highest level of craft in writing, cinematography, and acting. The style of the show is a love-letter to classic cinema, both in the visual style clearly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, and the musical score literally borrowing every track from the classics. The writing and direction are excellent and efficient, with each episode coming in at around 30 minutes. All of this is perfectly executed with mesmerizing chemistry by the two leads: the amazing Julia Roberts and impressive newcomer Stephan James.

Yulia Takshina is a Russian film and theater actress, former dancer.
Beautiful girl was born on July 9, 1980 in Belgorod, USSR. Her father was a plant worker, and her mother worked as an editor in the publishing house. Yulia was an active child and played roles in the school theater. When the girl was 7 years old she joined the Contemporary Theater, where her elder brother Vladimir danced. In addition, Yulia was engaged in ballroom dancing.
While studying at high school Takshina wrote articles, which were published in various local publications.
After school Yulia went to Moscow to enter the faculty of journalism at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), but did not score the required number of points. The girl decided to enter the Moscow State University. You know, she did not study for a long time and left the university after a year and a half.
As a result, Takshina decided to become a professional actress. In 2006 the girl graduated from the Shchukin Theater Institute.
The career of the actress began not with the roles in films and popular TV shows. The girl together with a dance team toured the country, and once she was noticed by Russian singer Oleg Gazmanov. At that moment he offered Takshina a place in the dance group Diamond Girls. Then the girl worked as a model and her photos were on many covers of glossy magazines. Also she starred in music videos for Dmitry Malikov’s songs.
The role of Vika Klochkova in the TV series Not Born Beautiful brought her popularity.
In 2010 Takshina starred in the romantic comedy Inadequate People, which received numerous film awards.
Later, in 2013, the actress worked in nine projects.

I came to Hong Kong when I was five, but we didn't have any relatives in Hong Kong. My mom is a big movie fan, and she watched all kinds of movies, so when I was a kid, basically, we went to watch a movie every day.
Sometimes, when you're on the streets, certain music inspires you, and then you have a vision. But, at the end of the day, it's a synthesis of visions, so you have to think, as a director, of a scene, or how to deliver a line, or how do this visually.
Some actors like encouragement. Some actors prefer to have pressure. And sometimes, for some actors, its better to give your comment by silence, because they are so skillful, so gifted, that they understand without talking too much.
I think of action as a dance. It's a riddle; it should have emotion in it.
I don't do rehearsal. Some directors prefer to do rehearsal - readings before the actual shooting - but I don't like this process because I think there are certain things that are so spontaneous, and they cannot happen twice.
When it's time to let go, I don't look back, and I start another project as soon as possible. One thing I remind myself is that I don't want to Photoshop my past.

TROUBLE: Andy Delves’s Macbeth with the three witches played by Eleanor Ruth, Sarah (Sorcha) Breen and Marie Claire Tchernomoroff.
Kirks Reservoir Park will become the scene of a series of brutal murders as actors use the outdoors tobring Macbeth to life.
Ballarat’s OZACT is knownfor its outdoor theatre, which director Bruce Widdop said created a memorable experience for its audience.
“It’s something more akin to a film setting than seeing a play in the theatre with the artificial stage settings,” he said.“And the audience is closer to nature and closer to the actors.”
He describedKirks Reservoir as one of Ballarat’s hidden treasures and said the “absolutely magical” setting mimicked thatof the play.
“It has a rolling landscape with distant views most like the Scottish highlands and it has water features, fern clad gullies and bright floral displays,” he said.
SCORCHED THE SNAKE: Macbeth played by Andy Delves and Lady Macbeth played by Marie Claire Tchernomoroff take a moment to consider their actions.
Having surveyed past audiences, the theatre company has found about50 per centweren’t regular theatregoers.
“Our performances constitute the best of tourism and the works of the world’s best playwright in an intimate setting, and that makes them really popular,” he said.
Macbeth in particular will draw a crowd as one of the Bard’s most popular plays.
“It isa story of how ruthless ambition can lead to conflict and division,” Mr Widdop said.
“Expect to see plenty of action, larger than life characters and a varietyof emotions.”
Audience members should make sure they dress for the weather, bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent and a cushion.
The play will be performed at Kirks Reservoir Park on December 26 and27 at 6.30pm. For more information and tickets visit ozact苏州美甲培训.

Deadpool 2: A family film that is frequently enjoyable and entertaining
- 2018-05-21 09:11:35
Given that it takes such pride in being subversive, you’d think Deadpool 2 would be sporting enough to attach the tagline – More of the same.
It’s true. This sequel to the 2016 film starring Ryan Reynolds as the filthy-mouthed mutant superhero is filled with crude jokes, bloody violence, a string of pop culture references, multiple digs at other superheroes – particularly Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and a lot more of that breaking-the-fourth-wall and talking directly to the audience. It’s a winning cocktail that set the first film apart from everything else in the genre, and frankly one that delivers again. But gone is that giddy excitement of discovering something unpredictable and surprising.
Reynolds is back as Wade Wilson aka Deadpool, once a sadistic mercenary, now a heavily scarred vigilante who acquired amazing self-healing powers in a botched experiment. In the new movie, having recently suffered a major personal loss he commits himself to saving a young kid, a misguided angry mutant, from a bad guy named Cable, who arrives from the future, Terminator-like, with murderous intentions towards the boy.
Cable played by Josh Brolin, extracts a well-placed Thanos reference that’s sure to get the laughs. To fend off this time-travelling villain, Deadpool sets out to assemble a crack team of superheroes that he dubs the X-Force, except that – how does one put this? – Turns out they’re neither super, nor heroes. The most useful of the gang is Domino (Zazie Beetz), whose ‘superpower’ is being lucky.
Not all of the jokes land, but to be fair a lot of them hit the mark. Some of the especially outrageous stuff – I will say only two words: "baby legs" – can be polarizing depending on your threshold for filthy humor. What works, consistently, are the one-liners that fly so fast so furious, you’ve got to be alert or you’ll miss a bunch of them.
The action, again, is particularly violent. The filmmakers fully exploit their R-rating giving us several scenes of body parts being sliced and diced, frequently for laughs. To be honest though, you’ve seen so much of it in the last film that there’s a numbing indifference to the casual bloodshed here. However, director David Leitch, a longtime stuntman who last directed the Charlize Theron starrer-Atomic Blonde, does stage one or two elaborate set pieces that pop.
On the whole, while it is frequently enjoyable and entertaining, there is no denying that Deadpool 2 feels like it’s been cobbled together from the leftovers of the previous film. Ryan Reynolds slips into the character like a glove, and his rat-a-tat repartee with Josh Brolin is terrific. But none of it feels fresh or new. If that doesn’t bother you too much, more than likely you’ll have a good time.
Director: David Leitch
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz, Morena Baccarin, TJ Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, Karan Soni

Warner Bros has decided to release Wonder Woman 1984, starring Gal Gadot, in theatres and HBO Max on the same day, December 25. The superhero sequel will open in US theatres on Christmas and the streaming giant. In the countries that do not have HBO Max, the film will release in theatres a week before, December 16.
Gal Gadot is excited about the release!
Taking to Instagram, Gal Gadot wrote, “IT’S TIME. We’ve all waited a long time for this one to come. I can’t tell you how excited I am for all of you to see this movie. It wasn’t an easy decision, and we never thought we’d have to hold onto the release for such a long time, but COVID rocked all of our worlds. We feel the movie has never been so relevant, and we hope that it’ll bring some joy, hope, and love to your hearts. Wonder Woman 1984 is a special one for me, and I can only hope it’ll be as special to you too. We’ve put our hearts and souls into it.”
“As we navigate these unprecedented times, we’ve had to be innovative in keeping our businesses moving forward while continuing to super-serve our fans,” Ann Sarnoff told Variety, chair, and CEO of WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group. “This is an amazing film that really comes to life on the big screen, and, working with our partners in the exhibition community, we will provide that option to consumers in the U.S. where theaters are open. We realize that a lot of consumers can’t go back to the movies due to the pandemic, so we also want to give them the option to see Wonder Woman 1984 via our HBO Max platform.”
Quote from the director of Wonder Woman 1984
“The time has come,” director Patty Jenkins wrote on Twitter. “At some point, you have to choose to share any love and joy you have to give over everything else. We love our movie as we love our fans, so we truly hope that our film brings a little bit of joy and reprieve to all of you this holiday season.”
“Watch it in theaters, where it is made safe to do so (check out the great work theaters have done to make it so!) And available in the safety of your home on HBO Max where it is not,” she further added. “Happy holidays to all of you. We hope you enjoy our film as much as we enjoyed making it.”


Ghibli studio has created so many films that led to beautiful nights alone engrossed in the incredibly lovely worlds they have imagined.
I was first introduced to Ghibli through their great work Princess Mononoke.
Now to start off, I do have some gripes with this movie, some trivial, some serious.
Probably the most trivial is the fact that most Ghibli films generally have a female lead, usually young,and are a coming of age story in many ways.
The star of this film though, is Ashitaka, a young man from a cast out tribe who is stricken by the curse of a Boar God(although the concept of what exactly makes these creatures Gods considering they die from a bullet rather easily is a bit sketchy) who has gone mad and turned into a demon, leading Ashitaka to go on a journey to find out what caused the Boar Gods change and hopefully find a cure for the curse.
I absolutely adore Ashitaka, he is everything sorely lacking in many anime series featuring male leads; strong, resolute, intelligent, caring and open to differing ideas. And yet this film is called Princess Mononoke! To this day her presence in the film as some sort of central focus is just a waste to me, she has barely any development, is not needed in any sense to advance the story and the fact that her name adorns the title just irritates me to no end. Kind of like how the Zelda games are 98 percent about Link but are all named after a princess who barely plays a part in most of the games, except maybe breath of the wild(possibly some of the old nintendo titles).
Trivial I know, but annoying. Her name is in the title I think simply because Ghibli is habituated to making their leads female, although I could be wrong, who knows.
This leads to something more serious though, which is that Princess Mononoke SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIES. Ghibli refuses to break out of it’s mold of just doing movies. The world built up in Princess Mononoke is wonderful, Ashitakas tribes background of being cast out and him being a Prince could have been fascinating, the development of the worlds animal Gods and their connection to the land and people, exploring how people interact with them, getting more imaginative with how the curse could affect Ashitaka and make him even stronger and have his actions reverberate more throughout the land , even seeing how the humans would deal with things after the death of Shishigami would have been cool.
Obviously none of this will ever happen(unless someone begged Ghibli for the rights to reboot it as a series so long as Ghibli liked the general direction? ANYONE!? PLEASE?!).
Regardless of all that, the film is visually stunning, it’s use of light and color, especially the scenes of transition when Shishigami went from his daytime form to night form were exquisite, and the changing of the land from life to death and back to life as Shishigamis head was restored to his body was breathtaking.
Ashitaka was a wonderful character and it hurts my poor little heart that more anime developers these days do not develop their male leads more along this line, instead we are continuously subjected to the most idiotic of characters.
San could have been very interesting if she had been given more time to develop with backstory, and not been subjected to this weird love story with Ashitaka that just felt tacked on.
Lady Eboshi, the prime antagonist of the film, although there were attempts to humanize her with her deeds of helping the lepers and prostitutes, just seemed like a complete ass to me and was completely devoid of any logic or emotion for anyone outside of her circle. The story just went, well, these miners wanted to mine, and the animals( who we know are conscious beings just like humans)were in the way, so we massacred them all, but we are nice to lepers so we’re allowed, solid reasoning right there folks.
This may seem like I am hating on quite a bit of the film but in reality it’s the fact that regardless of these irritations the film is still beautiful, the characters are brought to life wonderfully, even those not central to the story, the humor and seriousness are used perfectly, and the conflict between nature and progress was shown very well.
Overall I think Ghibli did a wonderful job trying to balance so many different viewpoints and aspects to the story in such a short film and as always pushed the bounds of what the meaning of quality art is.
NOW GET ME A SERIES PEOPLE!
With love, your friendly neighborhood Otaku.

“Sleeping beauty” is probably the most disturbing film I’ve seen in a while and this is not only because it’s a nudity-heavy, cruel film with a Disney title. The film is about an unbelievable fair skinned student, who is desperate enough to earn money to take t on a job that involves being a waitress in lingerie, serving elderly men their exclusive dinner. Later she is willingly drugged to sleep while elderly men can do whatever they want to her, except from actually having sex with her. Towards the end she decides to find out what happens during her sleep…
Having read the reviews I knew that I was about to watch a psychological exhausting and voyeristic film but I didn’t expect that I would sit in my cinema chair scrunching and feeling sick in view of the cruelty on screen. First I had to think of Freud, who claimed that women are not capable of sexual feelings and can only be passive during sex. Sleeping beauty would then be the peak of this thought because she is not only not active, she is not even conscious of what’s happening to her. The film evolves around the (male?) wish to control other people and essentially that’s what these men pay for: to get sexually aroused by/with an actual woman without facing (the embarrassment) of human interaction. There’s of course also a chore element of prostitution: old, rich men, who think they can do and have anything because of their wealth.
It’s almost unbearable to watch this beautiful girl being abused, being completely at the men’s mercy. Lucy is a weird character, the audience never really gets to know her and understand her decision to continue working in this job. Apart from her job as a sleeping prostitute she also works as test person in a laboratory, once again selling her body to earn money, which enforces the impression about a lack of self-worth. She seems will-less and passive even when she is conscious. Only at the end when she makes an effort to find out what is done to her she takes some kind of control over her life, awakening to something she and the viewer probably expected the least. It’s hard to get a grip on the ending or to even remotely understand it.
It’s definitely not a film for the faint-hearted, but it’s also not really a very erotic film, despite the nudity scenes. The australian actress Emily Browning expresses a very cold beauty that stands in contrast to the ugliness of the plot. Any censored Hollywood film is probably more pornographic than this one.


My new series is An Archaeologist Reviews, in which I watch terrible (sometimes good) archaeology movies in order to get a better perspective on what the media portrays vs the reality. First up is As Above So Below, starring Perdita Weeks, which was released in 2014.
I am a huge addict for dramatically fictional accounts of archaeology-gone-wrong. The discipline had been romanticized with grand ideas of treasures, unleashed curses, and demons concealed for millennia being awoken by archaeologists exploring uncharted territory. It makes for some exciting cinema, despite the reality being oh so much different. But, let’s be honest the archaeology/adventure genre in movies has been kind of crap of recent, apart from the Indiana Jones series (minus Crystal Skulls) this particular area of cinema has been a let down over and over again. So when I found out about As Above So Below, a horror movie set in the Paris Catacombs I was again skeptical. Archaeology and horror is not a new concept, movies featuring ruins, mummies have been around since the dawn of cinema. Despite the constant stream of disappointment I jumped at the chance to see this in the cinema.
Set in the style of a found footage documentary the movie follows Scarlett Marlowe continuing her late father’s work searching for Nicola’s Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone. The location of the stone is within the Paris catacombs (of course it is!), and despite the dangers of running around in uncharted territory, Scarlett or Dr.Marlowe jumps at the chance of getting her ill-prepared footwear a little wet. The opening scene sees us introduced to archaeologist Scarlett (excuse me Dr. Marlowe), a university professor of a mere 30 years old with two PhDs, and the ability to speak 6 languages and two dead ones (of course!) and an expert in Krav Maga, because she must have ample of times preparing for her illegal adventures and not you know doing any actual research or teaching. One of these PhDs is in urban archaeology, a master’s chemistry, and a second PhD in the fictitious symbology.
The movie moves along to George, who she enlists to help her uncover the whereabouts of the Philosopher’s Stone, further complicated with their unresolved sexual tension, and that time she left him in a Turkish police station. Charming this Scarlett, I mean Dr. Marlowe. Together they break into churches, defaces archaeological artifacts, and generally cause mayhem around Paris until she makes it illegally into the catacombs.
In the catacombs, the story changes from adventure movie to straight up horror. As they venture further into the weaving tunnels of the catacombs a strange, singing cult can be heard; a ringing telephone deep underground echoes throughout the tunnels, and ghastly apparitions start appearing. “The only way out is down,” says La Taupe’, a former friend of their guide who disappeared two years ago after going to explore the catacombs they now find themselves trapped in. They do as he says.
After a number of puzzles and trials, (to be honest too boring to actually write about) they finally find themselves The Philosopher’s Stone! Finally, Dr, Marlowe can vindicate her father, who spent years, writing questionable research papers for reputable academic journals!
But of course in Tomb Raider style, an important magical artifact is of course not what it seems; “it’s a trap!”, and they find themselves cornered with only their smarts and wits to escape. Scarlett figures out ‘as above, so below’. As they descend, they are faced with the same catacombs but reversed. It’s here, in this labyrinth mirror-world, that the deaths begin as they continue to descend over a thousand feet down.
One girl is murdered pretty horrifically by the rabid La Taupe. Benji the cameraman falls down a shaft after a woman lunges at him from the darkness mirroring an earlier, non-fatal tumble. George sees his little brother, who drowned in a cave when they were young, drowning again. Everything becomes a tense maze of ghosts of regrettable secrets that the characters have trouble letting go of.
As a horror movie, there are some genuine scares especially near the end of the movie, when three of the remaining characters are confronted by what is supposedly the devil. The movie uses the jump scare tactic, but also allows for quiet moments where filmmakers leave some points to the imagination. The movie deals with regret and grief much more efficiently than its use of archaeology, allowing the characters to move on physically from their own literal and metaphorical hell.
However, the movie’s main issue is its characters. Firstly, the protagonist Scarlett Marlowe is a questionable archaeologist, much like any media portrayal of the profession, she’s reckless, intrepid and obnoxious. “I’m not doing this for financial gain,” Scarlett says in some interview footage that plays at the end of the film. Obviously not, because if she tried to get this little adventure published, her professorship will be in the dirt much like the friends she took down there in the first place. Unfortunately, we never get delve into Benji’s regret, and many of the characters apart from George and Scarlett (I mean Dr. Marlowe) are used as death fodder.
Overall, As Above So Below is a semi-decent horror movie with a tense creepy atmosphere. However, the use of predictable archaeological tropes to progress the story fails to allow the movie to embrace its weirdness. While Scarlett makes for a decent horror-film protagonist, she has the attributes: resourceful, intelligent, brave, and of course a complex relationship with her father (Indiana and Lara I’m looking at you) – I doubt she’d make a very able archaeologist.


Netflix first original anime series looks Robotech-level awesome

The Evangelion 3.0 movie is coming to select US & Canada movie theaters in January ‘14! Check out its trailer above.
Evangelion 3.0 to Screen in U.S., Canada in January 2014
Eleven Arts and FUNimation Entertainmentannounced on Monday that they will screen the Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo film in theaters across the United States and Canada in January 2014. The companies note that they will screen the film “in major cities throughout the U.S. and Canada.” Additionally, most of the screenings will feature the film’s English dub, but some theaters will screen the film in Japanese with English subtitles. Eleven Arts will announce cities and dates within the next few weeks.
Funimation had announced that it had licensed the film when its Facebook page had hit 1 million likes in June. The company has already revealed the film’s English dub cast.
The third film in Hideaki Anno's four-part remake of Gainax's Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series earned more than 5.1 billion yen during its theater run. While the first film hewed closely to the original television series, the second film went in a different direction, and the third film went still further in its own storyline.
Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Escaflowne, Witch Hunter Robin, and more are getting Blu-ray releases!!
Cowboy Bebop is finally coming to Blu-ray in North America
Dear anime fans who have been waiting for a truly HD version of the Cowboy Bebop: Your wait is almost over. At Otakon this past weekend, Funimation announced they “rescued” over a dozen Bandai Entertainment titles, and will finally be releasing a Blu-ray version of Bebop in America next year.
Here’s everything else Funimation announced:
• Tales of the Abyss • Witch Hunter Robin • Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion • Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 • Code Geass: Lelouch Akito the Exiled • Angel Links • Banner of the Stars • Banner of the Stars II • Passage of the Stars “Birth” • Crest of the Stars • Outlaw Star • The Escaflowne movie • The Vision of Escaflowne TV series • My-Hime • My-ZHime • My-ZHime O~S.ifr~ • My ZHime Zwei
Seeing as Code Geass was released pretty recently, I imagine after Bebop folks will be most excited by Outlaw Star and Escaflowne, since they’re both popular anime that made it to TV in the U.S. and haven’t been available in years. I also imagine Bandai Japan forced Funimation to take Banner of the Stars in order to get Bebop and the others, since no company in its right mind would license it willingly, but oh well. If that’s the price Funi has to pay so I can get Cowboy Bebop on Blu-ray, I will gladly let them pay it.
Yep, the live action Akira movie is still on Hollywood’s cue…
Jaume Collet-Serra Returns to Direct ‘Akira’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Jaume Collet-Serra is in discussions to return to the “Akira” directors chair, signing on to helm Warner Bros. adaptation of the popular anime pic. The helmer left in early 2012 after production stalled.
In early 2012, the studio shut down pre-production so that fixes could be made to the script, including tightening the budget from its original $90 million range. At the time, Collet-Serra was in such high demand coming off the recent success of the Liam Neeson action pic “Unknown,” that he decided to leave instead of waiting for the changes to be made so that he could pursue other projects. He eventually landed another Neeson pic, “Non Stop,” which bows next February.


It Donned On Me is a competitive filmmaking team from San Francisco, CA. Over the past five years we've completed 25 short films in timed competitions such as the 48 Hour Film Project and International Documentary Challenge.
The ongoing 'It Donned On Me' saga...
For several years Evan Donn has been teaching classes in After Effects and Final Cut Pro in the Multimedia department at College Of San Mateo. Each semester there were a couple of students who wouldn't go home when the class was over, staying after with an endless stream of questions about every aspect of video production. Many returned semester after semester for whichever class Evan was teaching at the time...
In the spring of 2006 Evan taught a new class called DV Workflow consisting almost entirely of these "irregulars". DV Workflow became an 'everything but the kitchen sink' type of class covering the entire production process with an emphasis on online video.
Each member of the class had to produce an episodic online video series, leading to everyone teaming up to work on each others' videos as well as provide valuable input during class screenings. When the class ended everyone felt that the working dynamic of the group was worth continuing.
Led by Chief Instigator Tony Nguyen they dubbed themselves 'The Evan Donn School of Film' and began holding quarterly screenings of everyone's current work. Several members of the group attended one of the 48 Hour Film Project screenings, and they all walked out with the same thought - "we can do that!"
At that point the quarterly screenings became 'challenges' with criteria similar to the 48 Hour Film Project, preparing the team to quickly create short films around a character, prop and line of dialogue.
As the 2007 competition drew closer Mr. Nguyen signed up the team for the San Francisco 48 Hour Film Project. Put on the spot to come up with a team name he considered and rejected many possibilities before the ideal name 'donned' on him... and IDOM was born.
The San Francisco competition was actually the first time all members of the team had worked together on a single project. Everyone jumped right in and the result was our first short film - 'Urgent Care'.
Despite incredible audience reaction to the film, 'Urgent Care' failed to win either the audience or juried competition for San Francisco. However, the team was selected by competition sponsor Visa as one of ten teams from San Francisco to compete in their national "Life Takes" Invitational against teams from New York and Los Angeles.
Evan decided the team needed a little more practice before the Visa competition. Unbeknownst to the team, he signed them up for the nearby San Jose 48 Hour Film Project and announced it at the cast & crew party for 'Urgent Care'. Fortunately everyone jumped at the chance to hone their skills and prove that the success of the first film wasn't just luck. The result of that effort is 'Doggie Style', the second official film from It Donned On Me.
In September the team came together once again to complete another 48 hour film for the Visa "Life Takes" Invitational. In collaboration with members of the a capella group "Flying Without Instruments" they completed the fantasy film "EXIT" which took second place in the Visa competition.
In October, 2007 the team completed their fourth 48 hour project, the National Film Challenge, producing "Retreat", an existential tale of a horse seeking enlightenment. After this they took a break from high-speed filmmaking for the holidays in order to prepare for the 2008 season.
In March 2008 IDOM kicked off the 2008 filmmaking season with the International Documentary Challenge, producing their first non-fiction film, "Stick & Pound". Selected as a finalist in the competition, 'Stick & Pound' screened in Toronto at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival where the team brought home Documentary Challenge awards for Best Cinematography and Best Directing!
After an amazing first year of competition IDOM came full circle, returning for the second time to the 2008 San Francisco 48 Hour Film Challenge and successfully completing our 6th film, "Tail". 'Tail' brought home the award for 'Best Sound Design' as well as being nominated for Best use of Dialoge and Best Cinematography
Just a few weeks later it was once again time for the San Jose 48 Hour Film project. Despite a rough start IDOM pulled together and created 'TwirlyBoy', possibly our strangest film so far. Chief Instigator Tony Nguyen's antics at the film's screening earned us the special award for 'Most Gratuitous Marketing Ploy'
2008 ended not with a bang but a whimper for IDOM with the 2008 National Film Challenge. Despite the fact that most members of the team were either out of town or too busy to participate, three members made a valiant attempt to complete a film. Unfortunately in the end it just didn't come together with a finished film, marking the first time IDOM didn't make the deadline.
After a holiday break IDOM regrouped to start off 2009 with the International Documentary Challenge. After last year's showing the team knew it would have to step things up a notch for this year's entry, and the result is "a place like this...". Profiling the work of Angela Wellman and her Oakland Public Conservatory of Music, "a place like this..." came together beautifuly. Unfortunately it didn't make the cut for this year's finalists.
For their third round in the San Francisco 48 Hour Film Project the team completed the mockumentary "Sur Mesure: Journeys in Transpersonal Haberdashery". All the elements seemed to fall into place this time and the film scored IDOM's first Audience Choice award as well as Best Actress for it's lead performance.
Following the SF 48HFP IDOM jumped into a new competition this year, the 7 Day Filmmaking Competition. What would they do with all that extra time? After unexpected illness and scheduling conflicts shut down their first attempt the team regrouped to complete their film in the final 36 hours of the competition! The result is "Intrinsic Self", a documentary about fire performance artists. "Intrinsic Self" won Best Editing in the competition and was nominated for Best Sound, Best Picture, and Audience Choice.
Just one week after the 7 day competition it was time to go back to work, this time for a third year in the San Jose 48 Hour Film Project. This resulted in IDOM's 11th film - "Coulrophobia". With that the team's 2009 season came to an end.
With eleven very different short films completed in just over two years some would say it's time to take a break, but not IDOM - this is just the beginning as IDOM tackles new projects and goes in new directions in the quest to become the greatest competitive filmmaking team of all time!

Much Ado About Nothing and the 7AB
On Friday, June 8th, students of the 7AB attended an acting workshop at the Volkstheater as part of their English classes. In recent lessons our English teacher, Ms Wolfram, introduced us to the topic of Shakespeare and his times through books, poems and Playmobil figures. The excursion was about Shakespeare’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing” / “Viel Lärm um nichts”.
On the top floor of the theatre, the “Black Saloon” turned into Friday’s stage. For a warm-up, we played games like “Samurai” and “HiHaHo”, and Bettina, our tutor, made us try out new things, including screaming as if there was no tomorrow! As part of the drama workshop, we then created improvisations. Finally we split up into small groups and prepared scenes from the play. Thirty minutes later we perfromed dramatic, innovative and hilarious scenes, all for the entertainment of tutor, teacher and students!
Leaving the Volkstheater that day, everyone felt a bit of relief and definitely curiousity for the “real thing”, a performance of “Viel Lärm um nichts” on June 20th.

South Gloucestershire schoolchildren enjoy theatre production
This news article was published more than a year ago. Some of the information may no longer be accurate.
Pupils from Coniston Primary School in South Gloucestershire enjoyed a theatre performance at Patchway Library at the beginning of November.
Local theatre company Travelling Light has been touring South Gloucestershire libraries, bringing theatre to local school children in alternative settings with their play ‘The Mysterious Vanishment of Pobby and Dingan’.
Pupils from Staple Hill Primary School, Barley Close Community Primary School, Christ Church C of E Junior School, Parkwall Primary School, Coniston Primary School, Manorbrook Primary School and Gillingstool Primary School visited their local libraries to watch performances of the play.
Created especially for children in years 5 and 6, ‘The Mysterious Vanishment of Pobby and Dingan’ explores a range of themes using theatre to tackle some of the issues and life questions that young people ask and think about.
There are also educational resources accompanying the show that schools can use for follow up work after the play.
Environment and Community Services Chair Cllr Heather Goddard said: “This project gives children from South Gloucestershire primary schools an opportunity to experience a theatrical performance which could inspire a love of theatre in young people. The play includes a range of important messages around family, friendships, loss and growing up.”
Ella Hann, teacher at Coniston Primary School in Patchway, said: “The children were really engaged; it was completely at the right level. It will be really useful to go away and use the play for literacy in the classroom.”
Following the performance, one Year 5 pupil from Coniston Primary School said: “It was different and the music was really good. I have never seen something like this before. At the end I felt sad but happy at the same time.”
The debut novel by author Ben Rice, ‘The Mysterious Vanishment of Pobby and Dingan’ is a story about how one Australian boy’s mission to save his family unites an outback opal-mining community. The play has been adapted especially for libraries by acclaimed children and young people’s theatre company, Travelling Light.
‘The Mysterious Vanishment of Pobby and Dingan’ has been re-commissioned by Libraries West supported using public funding by Arts Council England to tour to libraries across the South West, bringing high quality theatre to places and people who might not otherwise have access to it and exploring the future of touring theatre productions to libraries.
The theatre performance for Coniston Primary School pupils took place at Patchway Library on Thursday 3 November.

A rendition of Julius Caesar that features the assassination of a President Trump-like character opened to a standing ovation and cheers in New York City.
The New York Public Theater has faced widespread outrage over the bloody and graphic stabbing of a character that was meant to resemble the president — from his blonde hair to an exceptionally long necktie.
The headlines generated by the Shakespeare in the Park production have been relentless:
* Controversial ‘Julius Caesar’ Play Opens to Standing Ovation in Central Park
* Senators Stab Trump to Death in Central Park Performance of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar
* Theater Refuses to Buckle after ‘Caesar’ Trump Criticism
Theater executive Oskar Eustis defended the violent, faux assassination of the sitting president.
“The event here is not my show. The event here is the right-wing hate machine,” he told Variety.
The New York Times reports that Eustis tried to reassure theater supporters in an email – acknowledging the play has “provoked heated discussion.”
“Our production of Julius Caesar in no way advocates violence toward anyone,” he said.
That’s a bit hard to believe when the audience is staring at the bloody corpse of an actor with a big necktie.
The show has been getting rave reviews from the people who play make-believe for a living. And I’m sure Kathy Griffin is laughing her head off.
This is how The New York Times reviewed the show: “Its depiction of a petulant, blondish Caesar in a blue suit, complete with gold bathtub and a pouty Slavic wife, takes onstage Trump-trolling to a startling new level.”
Anyway, the fallout over staged assassination of President Trump has been swift. Delta Airlines and Bank of America have withdrawn sponsorship. Both companies said the play crossed a line.
I say good for them! I fly Delta and cash my paycheck at Bank of America. And they are under no obligation to fund what is in fact a steaming pile of thespian garbage.
The New York Times – on the other hand – is standing by its sponsorship.
”As an institution that believes in free speech for the arts as well as the media, we support the right of the Public Theater to stage the production as they chose,” the Times said in a statement.
But the newspaper but sang a different tune back in 2015 when they refused to print cartoons that depicted the Prophet Muhammad.
And I sincerely doubt the Times or any other Mainstream Media outlet would be so charitable if the New York thespians had plunged a dagger into President Obama.
And It’s THAT sort of dastardly double-standard we’ve come to expect from the Times and their theatrical ilk.
They are best described by the Bard as the “rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended a nostril.”
