Event Announcement: Illegally Alive – Trailer Premiere Party
Thanks to cannabis oil, Coltyn Turner just celebrated the 22nd month of remission from his debilitating Crohn’s Disease. Turner’s recovery has been nothing less than miraculous, as he was so ill from his Crohn’s, he had been confined to a wheelchair. He was on many medications and the prognosis was nothing short of abysmal until he discovered and began using cannabis oil. Yet he and his family feared for their safety and freedom because of the laws currently in place in many states around the country. Faced with these circumstances, what would you do?
Please join 5700 Consulting, Coltyn, his family, and the Directors of the film “Illegally Alive”, Mike Wise and Dale DiMassi for a celebration of life, love and the amazing power of cannabis. We will view the premier screening of the trailer for the film and participate in a Q&A with Coltyn and his mom along with Mike, Dale and the team from 5700 Consulting where we try to unpack some of the issues facing us in the fight for this life saving medicine.
There will be presentations by representatives of local cannabis not for profits and time for networking. This event is FREE. We will be taking donations to support the film and the wonderful organizations participating in the event. So, bring your kleenex and your checkbooks and join us for an amazing evening.
Wednesday July 20th 7PM – 10PM The Oriental Theater


Literature and classic movies in anime/graphic novel form
I think it is a good idea to put literature in graphic novel and anime form because it will help young minds out learn about the classic that the previous generations read, like “Robinson Crusoe” and “Hamlet”, back in their times in high school and in college. When reading the graphic novel and watching the anime version adaptations of the classics, the young minds can see what the artist’s take on the original version like. Disney did a science fiction version of “Treasure Island”, which got an Oscar nomination, and I think it would be nice to see a steam punk version of a Stephen King novel or short story or a futuristic version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” There is an anime version of the literary masterpiece “the Count of Monte Cristo.” The creator of numerous Marvel characters, Stan Lee, had one of his concepts made into a graphic novel with in the past few years.
Classic films, TV shows and plays should get the same treatment as literature so younger generations can learn, respect and enjoy the works of Humphrey Bogart and William Shakespeare. Some movies, like “Ghostbusters”, had an American cartoon series without the original cast or a comic book based on them. Others, like Star Trek, had spinoffs and a cartoon series with the actual cast. Heck, Gilligan’s Island had a 1980s science fiction cartoon series based on the very same 1960s TV show with the cast. Maybe one day, “Bonanza” the classic western TV show might get a steam punk or a modernized cartoon version as a tribute or an entire Simpsons or Family Guy episode like what the first two Star Trek franchises had.
In 2004, a classic Japanese movie named “the Seven Samurai” was created a twenty six episode steam punk series and it added some characters and some plotlines that the classic movie did not have. Godzilla, the legendary movie monster who has a 29-12-10 record in 41 big screen appearances from the mid 1950s to 1999 (including the one movie which he destroyed most of New York City), had his share of anime series. Even two pro wrestlers, Tiger Mask and Jushin “Thunder” Liger, are based on actual anime series and Tiger Mask had numerous wresters perform underneath the mask, in which the current one (Tiger Mask IV) was trained by the original one.
In conclusion, if literature and classic movies or TV shows get turned into anime and graphic novels, young people will become the Steven Spielberg or Stan Lee of the next generation and give us all great masterpieces of animation, cinema and novels.


Today on my playlist, Gabriel’s Oboe broke through. The first time I heard this music while watching the movie The Mission, I searched it out and listened over and over and over. Today it offered me reason to pause, take in a deep breath, close my eyes, and become enthralled by the absorbing abundance of heaven. Ennio “Maestro” Morricone, a native Italian, composed the music. The music carries an exquisite courageous beauty. It is elegant, refined, and sensitive, yet excruciating, piercing, and intense. It astounds me!
The movie, The Mission, tells the (mostly) true story of 18th-century Jesuit missionaries who died defending Guarani Indians from Portuguese slavery in the South American jungle. The missionaries dream was a society in which Christian natives would live in harmony with the Spanish and Portuguese. The colonial governors found this vision to be dangerous; they would rather enslave the Indians than covert them. They issue orders for the mission to be destroyed. The brutal film depicts a French Jesuit’s dogged but ultimately failed work among the Iroquois, Algonquin, and Huron in 17th-century Quebec. The Mission is a deeply moving film that reminds us of the vitality of love, the miracle of grace, and the transforming power of acts of conscience. It is powerful, compelling, and spiritually stirring.
Coupled with the music, my emotions become intensely enmeshed. There are a few scenes in which I literally break down crying, but in the end I am overcome by a melancholy silence, a feeling like something profound and momentous has come to pass. The movie ranks as one of my top five.
Love you, mean it!


Snow White and the Huntsman is a movie that doesn’t need to be as complicated as it was, a movie about a fairy tale we’ve all heard a hundred times isn’t really necessary but for some reason it got made. Let me start of with the first mistake, Kristen Stewart, she should never have been cast as Snow White, for one thing she doesn’t emote but the main reason is the Evil Queen’s main desire is to be the fairest of them all, well why would she be concerned if Kristen Stewart is a threat. She can’t even hold a candle to Charlize, Kristen’s not an ugly girl but come on. And, that right there took me out of the movie, how can I believe that Kristen can kill Charlize’s beauty when she can’t even compete. The running time was also a problem, why was it necessary to have this run over two hours? So many cut-aways that looked cool but did not pertain at all to the main plot, yes it was cool seeing Charlize take a milk bath but what did that have to do with anything.
Now, onto the things it did right. Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, both were stellar in their roles. The huntsman was brooding and quiet but also conflicted, the evil queen was deliciously evil and strikingly gorgeous, both of them were cast perfectly. The special effects were off the chain, everything looked so cool and well-done, I just wish there was some deeper meaning behind the shallow digitized world. The whole point of the story was to believe that good wins over evil and we can all believe in true love, but the movie made me question the new fad of reinventing the wheel. There was nothing wrong with Snow White so next time don’t add Kristen Stewart and fight scenes to a perfectly fine fairy tale.

‘The Mustang,’ the movie shot at Nevada State Prison in 2017, made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival and is currently in limited release in several cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles.
It’s scheduled for general release on March 29. Here’s the trailer:
Executive producer is Robert Redford, and the film was directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre.
The studio describes the plot: “Roman Coleman (Matthias Schoenaerts), a convict in a rural Nevada prison who struggles to escape his violent past, is required to participate in an “outdoor maintenance” program as part of his state-mandated social rehabilitation. Spotted by a no-nonsense veteran trainer (Bruce Dern) and helped by an outgoing fellow inmate and trick rider (Jason Mitchell), Roman is accepted into the selective wild horse training section of the program. There, he rediscovers his own humanity in gentling an especially unbreakable mustang.”
So far ‘The Mustang’ is generating strong reviews, including 4-1/2 stars in the March issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
As you can see from the trailer, the Nevada State Prison is a strong presence in the movie, as is the surrounding landscape.
Although the filming at NSP drew little attention in Carson City, it showcased the capabilities of the historic site as a viable and visually intriguing location for future productions.
Several NSPPS volunteers worked on the production while the crew was filming in Carson City.

“Candle” is Singapore radio’s first short film directed by Divian Nair, conceptualised, casted and written by both Divian and Dee Kosh. Both the Double D’s (as they are known on radio) are acting in it along with Sandra Riley Tang of the Sam Willows and Lavinia Tan of Gold 90.5 fm
The short film titled “Candle” is completely different from the usually humorous style of The Double D’s. For this video, they have aimed at the emotions and the fragility of life and love.
The film revolves around a quote from a book that was made up for the film. “Candle” is the title of the book and the quote that encompasses the message of the film is this – “Time is a candle’s flame and what burns are the minutes we live”.
“It’s a journey we hope our viewers will take with us and hopefully by the end of it everyone will learn to appreciate what they have with the people they love the most.”
– The Double D’s.
After watching this video, I realised that time is precious and we should treasure every minutes we share with love ones and grab any opportunities that arises.
Stop procrastinating and go out and make every minutes count!


Now this clearly puts it between The Waters of Mars and The End of Time.
Tenth Doctor: For once I'd like to know where I'm going
Eleventh Doctor: No, you really wouldn't
This exchange makes some sense if the tenth Doctor is at the point where he is trying to avoid Ood Sigma's summons to the Oodsphere.
Also, if The Day of the Doctor is the tenth Doctor's penultimate adventure, then this means his last two adventures are related to the Time War. If - as some as suggested - the three Doctors we see collectively use The Moment to end the Time War, then by the time of The End of Time his emotions must be in turmoil. He is running from his past, he has destroyed Gallifrey twice already (knowing he'll do it again), he is running from his future ("He will knock four times") and to cap it all, it looks like Rassilon, the Time Lords and Gallifrey are coming back. In The Beast Below, the eleventh Doctor is quite relaxed about Gallifrey - he has seen the consequences of Gallifrey not being destroyed, seen Rassilon's plan, and realises that he did the right thing.
But if, from the tenth Doctor's perspective, this is near the end, then it means one thing - Rose Tyler is not his companion.
Looking at the trailers, I don't think we see Rose alone with the tenth Doctor. If anything, she is with the missing Doctor.
In Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways, Rose becomes the Bad Wolf, and what does she do? "The Time War ends" - the Bad Wolf's role is to bring it to an end by destroying the Daleks. In Turn Left, the Doctor tells Donna Noble that the "Bad Wolf" messages all over the place mean the end of everything - and this follows on to Rose's return and the Daleks undoing some of the Time War.
In Boom Town, the Doctor seems perturbed by a potential nuclear power station called Bad Wolf (in Welsh). But why? Why all this stuff about seeing it everywhere when the only earlier time he came across it was Bad Wolf TV in The Long Game? Something deeper was happening.
I will stick my neck out here - the Bad Wolf is, I suggest, a mythical figure from Time Lord legend representing destruction.


Put your hand up if you’ve got Netflix? Now keep your hand if you love it and you’re a tad addicted to binge watching TV serials? Yeah me too. Here’s my top five:
Pretty Little Liars: Who killed Ally? Who is ‘A’? The story is far fetched, the girls are pretty and the drama is constant; what more is there? This one is my guilty little pleasure to watch when hubby isn’t home. I’ve only watched the first the first two seasons so if anyone out there has watched more, don’t spoil it for me!
Orange is the New Black: People have gone mad for this show, apparently it is the most watched show on Netflix. Based on the true story of Piper Kerman who was incarcerated in a female prison it’s both dramatic and funny. Oh an all the cool kids refer to it simply as OITNB.
Friday Night Lights: Hubby and I binge watch this one together. It’s based on an American high school football team; the culture of the whole thing is quite amazing but really I love it for the characters and the great storylines.
Making a Murderer: I have to confess, I haven’t watched it yet but people have been raving about this show based on a true story. I hear it’s the TV equivalent of the Serial podcast and I loved that so no doubt I’d enjoy this one too.
Utopia: I’m not sure if I find this show so hilarious because I work in local government; God it’s funny because it’s true! It’s also an Aussie show featuring some great Aussie talent so we really should support that!
What are your favourite shows to binge watch on Netflix?


We’re in full award season mode now, and the nominations for two of them, the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes, came out over the past two days.
The show fared well with the SAGs, with the long-departed Steve Carell snagging a best actor nod for his work from the last half of last season, and the whole cast getting a best ensemble nomination.
It didn’t fare as well with the Globes, however, coming away with exactly zero nominations. That said, Ricky Gervais will be back hosting the show again, no doubt angering a whole bunch of people like he did the last two years.
The Golden Globes were announced this morning, and Steve Carell was the only one who snagged a nod, for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. The show got shut out in the other TV categories — comedy series, actress and supporting actor and actress. The New York Times has the full list of nominees.
The Globes air on Jan. 16 on NBC, with the one and only Ricky Gervais again serving as emcee.
Well, the show came up empty-handed at last night’s Golden Globe Awards. The new Fox high school satire “Glee” won best comedy, while Alec Baldwin beat out Steve Carell yet again for best actor in a comedy. Oh well. Hey, at least Ed Helms had a nice night with “The Hangover” winning best film comedy.
And, of course, the show was hosted by the great Ricky Gervais. The reviews on his performance seem to be pretty mixed, but I thought he got off some good wicked lines. And he managed to drink a pint of glass on stage, which served as the intro to a joke at presenter Mel Gibson’s expense. This New York Daily News recap of the show contains a few of Gervais’ best quips.
The Golden Globe Award nominations came out this morning, and, as usual, the show is among the nominees. The show’s up for best comedy, along with “30 Rock,” “Entourage,” “Glee” and “Modern Family.” And Steve Carell is up for best actor in a comedy, along with “30 Rock’s” Alec Baldwin, “Californication’s” David Duchovny, “Hung’s” Thomas Jane and “Glee’s” Matthew Morrison. Kudos.

Russian Literature – Children Books – Russian Poetry – Alexander Kuprin – Hamlet – Contents
The curtain rose, and no sooner did the public see their favourite than the theatre shook with sounds of applause and cries of ecstasy.
Kostromsky standing near the king’s throne, bowed many times, pressed his hand to his heart, and sent his gaze over the whole assembly.
At length, after several unsuccessful attempts, the king, taking advantage of a moment when the noise had subsided a little, raised his voice and began his speech:
“Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother’s death
The memory be green, and that it us befitted
To bear our hearts in grief, and our whole kingdom
To be contracted in one brow of woe;
Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
That we with wisest sorrow think on him….”
The enthusiasm of the crowd had affected Kostromsky, and when the king turned to him, and addressed him as “brother and beloved son,” the words of Hamlet’s answer:
“A little more than kin and less than kind,”
sounded so gloomily ironical and sad that an involuntary thrill ran through the audience.
And when the queen, with hypocritical words of consolation, said:
“Thou knowst ’tis common; all that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity,”
he slowly raised his long eyelashes, which he had kept lowered until that moment, looked reproachfully at her, and then answered with a slight shake of the head:
“Ay, madam, it is common.”
After these words, expressing so fully his grief for his dead father, his own aversion from life and submission to fate, and his bitter scorn of his mother’s light-mindedness, Kostromsky, with the special, delicate, inexplicable sensitiveness of an experienced actor, felt that now he had entirely gripped his audience and bound them to him with an inviolable chain.
It seemed as if no one had ever before spoken with such marvellous force that despairing speech of Hamlet at the exit of the king and queen:
“O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!”
The nasal tones of Kostromsky’s voice were clear and flexible. Now it rang out with a mighty clang, then sank to a gentle velvety whisper or burst into hardly restrained sobs.
And when, with a simple yet elegant gesture, Kostromsky pronounced the last words:
“But break my heart, for I must hold my tongue!”
the audience roared out its applause.
“Yes, the public and I understand one another,” said the actor as he went off the stage into the wings after the first act. “Here, you crocodile, give me some vodka!” he shouted at once to the barber who was coming to meet him.

True love is wonderful, but in return. Couples come and go quickly, impossible to trace from dating to who is now. But some of them stay together for a lifetime, build a family, discover life, and age together, which is incredibly inspiring.
Today, at educateuorself, we have compiled a list of 10 famous couples who prove that true love exists.
2Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson
The 62-year-old actors, Tom and Rita, make up one of the filmmaking industry’s most beloved couples. Their love story began on the set of the ABC TV series, Bosom Buddies, in 1981.
In 1988 the happy couple tied the knot and more then 30 years later, they’re still in love and support each other, both in front of the camera and off-screen. The picture above was taken in 1999, 11 years after they got married.


10 Days Of Horror (day Nine)
The thing is, the movie was presented to people as a real-life story of three documentarians that went off in the woods in search of footage of the Blair Witch of Burkittsville, Maryland. A web-site was launched way before the movie was released, to stir up interest in the movie. The web-site had “unedited” video content to show some incidents and interviews of people that came into contact at some point with the people making the documentary. The website also contained tons of information on the mythology of the Blair Witch, and the history of the “real-life” accounts and police reports that led to the mythology. I knew soooo many people that bought into the chance that this may be a true story. The only mistake that the movie-makers made, in my opinion, was to have the actors and actress playing the documentarians make an appearance on the David Letterman show a day or two before the movie released.
Sitting in the theatres on the first day it was released, I was surrounded by tons of people, more than half of which believed that this was a true story. I do not want to spend the time in this blog about how people actually believed this was a true story, but still think that was brilliant on the movie-makers part, to know that the population would believe that the story was real.
The movie on its own is only marginally good. CULTURE It is just some kids walking around the woods getting into arguments and hearing noises at night. It played heavily on the hopes of the website building the premise and the mood, which worked during the initial theatre run of the movie. Watching this movie again, I began to get pulled into the original spectacle that was the Blair Witch. I can imagine that if someone did not get to experience the original website before the movie was released back in 1999, then the movie is probably pretty boring and even irritating up until the movie pick up around 45 minutes in.
I am pretty torn about this movie, mainly because I am now watching it almost ten years after it was released, and a lot of my feelings about this movie are related to that original experience leading up to the theatre release. The movie does play on your emotions. If you have ever been camping, then the thought of getting lost scares the hell out of you. If you have ever heard noises in the middle of the night while camping then you also know how scary that is. The movie on the surface is not very scary until the end, and each character does a pretty good job of being realistic in their meltdowns and paranoia. I find it hard to recommend this movie, unless you have already seen it in its originally intended context with the website supplement.

On Friday 8th March, an Memorial Lecture was held in memory of our own Lorraine Gradwell, Breakthrough’s former Chief Executive and co-founder.
The event was organised between ourselves and our colleagues at the Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People (GMCDP).
The lecture included a film presentation by Dr Jenny Morris called Broken Promises: Looking back on ‘Improving Life Chances of Disabled People’.
In this film, Jenny Morris looked back at how the many promises in the Life Chances report never became a reality due to changes in both government and legislation.

Why aren't comedy movies nowadays funny anymore? Cast: Gal Gadot, Kristen Wiig, Chris Pine, and Pedro Pascal. Joby Harold (King Arthur) came on to do a page-one rewrite of the script, and in May 2017 Robert Zemeckis and Matthew Vaughn surfaced as WB's top choices to direct. Get the skinny on what DC adaptations Warner Bros. currently has in development. Not to worry, though, because we here at Collider have you covered. The film was originally scheduled to be released on October 2, 2020 but was pushed due the COVID-19 shutdown. Mel Gibson was approached towards the end of 2016, but Warner Bros. eventually moved on and offered the movie to Jaume Collet-Serra of The Shallows and Non-Stop fame to take the helm, only to see him pass. What We Know So Far: A standalone Black Widow movie has long been requested by fans, and Marvel Studios finally pulled the trigger, locking in this past-set standalone movie as the first film of the MCU's Phase Four. Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Christian Bale. What We Know So Far: Very little, but Wonder Woman marked a major turning point for the DCEU with wildly positive reviews and massive box office, so anticipation is high. Moreover, we’ll be updating this guide regularly with the most current information, so if you’re ever at a loss for when exactly Birds of Prey is supposed to be in theaters, you can come right back here for a quick refresher. I mean I can see them teaming up against evil but honestly why would they fight each other? Breaking Down the 2021 Grammy Nominations for Visual Media, from 'Eurovision' to, Yes, 'Cats', PS5 Unboxing Video and Photos: Get a Closer Look at the New Console, 'Cyberpunk 2077' Senior Quest Designer on Keanu Reeves, DLC Plans, and Next-Gen Optimization, Why 'Freaky' Is "The Goriest Disney Movie Never Made" According to Director Christopher Landon, ‘Let Him Go’ Director Thomas Bezucha on Landing Kevin Costner and Michael Giacchino’s Score, 'Blood of Zeus' Creators on Reimagining Heroes of Greek Mythology & Their Hopes for Season 2, Here's Why 'Chappelle's Show' Suddenly Disappeared from Netflix, Why the Stunts of 'Home Alone' Make It a Classic, 'Come Away' Director Brenda Chapman on Leaving Pixar's 'Brave' and Her Love of Fairy Tales. Instead, they acquired the rights to the villain Fu Manchu and created Shang-Chi as a son of Fu Manchu. 2. At long last, Warner Bros. hired Vacation directors and Spider-Man: Homecoming co-writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein to take the helm in early 2018, based in part on the strength of their Warner Bros. action comedy Game Night. Filming began in September 2019 and wrapped in February 2020. It is often thought that a Marvel vs. DC film is a long shot, with very little probability of becoming made. Grahame-Smith was them removed from the project in April 2016, with WB wanting to take the film in a different direction, and Dope helmer Rick Famuyiwa was hired as his replacement. What We Know So Far: This project first surfaced years ago, when Warner Bros. secured Dwayne Johnson to play Shazam villain Black Adam. What We Know So Far: Writer/director Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) had been attached to direct New Mutants for a while, but 20th Century Fox finally moved this thing into production after the success of Deadpool and Logan. Most recently the film finally found a director in Jaume Collet-Serra, with whom Johnson just worked on Disney’s upcoming Jungle Cruise movie. In the comics, Shang-Chi was raised and trained by his father in martial arts, but when he learned his father was actually evil, he turned against him. Is Michael sheen a werewolf in the underworld movies ? I don't think there will ever be a movie like that only because of the lawyers and the businessmen and the contracts. Indeed, months later it was announced that Gunn will very much be directing this film, which is titled The Suicide Squad and is rumored to be more of a reboot than a sequel. Far from Home writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are reportedly returning to pen the screenplay, and Homecoming and Far from Home helmer Jon Watts is back in the director's chair. The film was originally scheduled to be released on May 7, 2021 but was pushed due the COVID-19 shutdown. At most, a crossover film would bring a handful of hardcore DC fans over to Marvel’s side. However, Affleck subsequently stepped down from the director's chair, opting instead just to star in this standalone while Warner Bros. set Dawn of the Planet of the Apes filmmaker Matt Reeves to take the helm instead. Instead, Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey) is now writing a new draft of the screenplay, with an eye towards beginning prep in January 2020. The film was originally scheduled to be released on June 5, 2020 but was pushed due the COVID-19 shutdown. Gender-reveal party inventor wants 'stupid' trend to stop I'm sorry to tell you but this trailer and the many others you saw are just fan-made using bits and parts of already produced films. The film was originally scheduled to be released on June 25, 2021 but was pushed due the COVID-19 shutdown. ), with Kristen Wiig playing the villain Cheetah and Chris Pine somehow reprising his role as Steve Trevor. He spent a year working on the script, during which time he was also spearheading reshoots and post-production of Justice League, but in February 2018 Whedon announced he was leaving the project because he "couldn't come up with a story." Still have questions? From 'Black Widow' to 'Captain Marvel 2', peruse our overview of every superhero movie release date under the sun. Speculation then began that this Flashpoint twist could allow WB to "fix" some issues in the DCEU by altering the timeline. The film was originally scheduled for release in November 2019, but Warner Bros. opted to push it into the summer corridor of 2020, which is the release date the filmmakers wanted all along. With nearly every major studio now working to turn its own comic book properties into the next big thing, and with Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. plotting out half a decade's worth of material, it’s sometimes tough to keep track of what’s coming out when, who’s in it, and how it fits into the overall picture. As of August 2019, Coogler has turned in a treatment to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. What We Know So Far: This is Sony's next Marvel Comics adaptation after Venom. He lives in Tulsa, OK and likes pasta, 90s thrillers, and spending like 95% of his time with his dog Luna. Coogler and Marvel are taking their time on this one, which is wise considering the first Black Panther became the first superhero movie ever nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. The studio revealed in July 2017 that the film would be titled Flashpoint, indicating the story will be adapting the famous comics arc that sees Barry going back into the past to save his mother's life, thus creating an alternate timeline. Cast: Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon. I doubt DC v.s Marvel will become a movie. She’ll co-star opposite Chris Hemsworth as, well, Lebowski Thor I guess and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, who was deemed King of Asgard at the end of Avengers: Endgame. What are your favorite movies with Bette Davies, and what are your favorite movies with Jodie Foster? Johnson will lead the latter while Shazammoved forward separately and became a success. Briefly, Sony still holds the license to Spider-Man, but starting with Spider-Man: Homecoming brought Marvel Studios and its president Kevin Feige onboard to serve as the lead creative producer to help steer the direction of that film (a reboot), and subsequently its sequel given how well Homecoming performed. Cast: Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, Colin Farrell, Peter Sarsgaard and Jeffrey Wright. 'The Mandalorian': Wait, So What’s the Deal With the Empire Now? Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Weisz, Florence Pugh, O-T Fagbenle and David Harbour.

A play by Valery Pecheikin based on a film by Lars von Trier
Uniting in a commune, opening a blissful and free “inner idiot”
in themselves, the heroes of Trier go to the streets of Denmark
and meet the squeamish bourgeois. The characters of “The Idiots”
feel themselves “here” and “there” at the same time, existing at
the crossroad of different worlds. The political power and the
opposition, sex and love, the left-wing and the right-wing,
cynicism and grief.
Alena Karas, Russian newspaper
Kirill Serebrennikov’s production “The Idiots” based on Lars von
Trier’s film of the same name is a part of Gogol Center’s trilogy
based on the famous European films, together with “The Brothers”
by Alexey Mizgirev (based on “Rocco and his Brothers” by Luchino
Visconti) and "Fear" by Vladislav Nastavshev (made after "Fear
eats the soul" by Reiner Werner Fassbinder).
Trier’s characters live in a commune where they help each other
to find their “inner idiot” – a state of innocent beatitude. They
discover the “generous vein of idiocy” which feed them with love
and joy. Having found the “idiot”, they take it out to introduce
him the world. The citizens of the “civilized society” are a bit
scared but remain surprisingly patient. Even if they have an
aversion for the “alternatively developed”, they treat them with
squeamish politeness. The mechanically tolerant Danish people
disgust Trier's characters – however, finally they turn out to be
the winners and society survives the assault of the idiots.
Serebrennikov’s play takes place in modern-day Moscow. The
authors did not transfer the plot word for word. Another
mentality, attitude toward the “Other”, political and social
context all caused a rethinking of the original story. The play
was created during rehearsals: the playwright Valery Pecheikin
with the creative team sought every day life situations in
Moscow in which he could place the “new innocents”. The play
balances on the edge between the documentary method in the
spirit of the Dogma 95 manifesto and its free variation.
Improvisation plays a very important part in this work. Actors
as well as playwright answer the question: who is he – “the
idiot of our time”?
The cast actors of "Theater of Simple" (art. Director - Igor Neupokoev):
Sergey Makarov, Vladislav Sanotsky, Victor Bodunov, Vera Koloskova, Svetlana Asanova, Victoria Karazeeva


Why do I feel this film was so good? I did a bit of History at school and have seen many films and documentaries on the second world war but Woman in Gold seemed to portray how the war impacted people personally. It moves from war time to current day and focuses on one family during the war, a wealthy family, with many valuable possessions. You get a feel for how the family lived and their relationships with each other. In the current day parts it focuses on the now elderly Maria and her relationship with her young lawyer and his family.
When this film was released in 2015 the usual critics didn’t give it very glowing reviews, if I had listened to them I would not have watched this film. I am so glad I didn’t! I found it to be absorbing and very moving at times. Beautifully portraying the effects the invasion of the Nazi’s had on families but also the ongoing impact the Holocaust had on families on both sides.
Woman in Gold also shows you are never too old to take on new challenges, Maria Altmann is absolute proof of that in this film and I found her truly inspirational. A remarkable woman who deserved to have this very touching film made about her. It made me laugh and cry, which all the best films should and interestingly Mr Perfect also thoroughly enjoyed it, so one for everyone. Highly recommended.

An Interview with Tsai Ming-Liang
by Samantha Culp and Tyler Coburn
Translators: Ken Chen, Bingyi Huang, James Tweedie, Susan Yu
Drawing by Sophia Dixon, from Tsai Ming-Liang's What Time is it There?
There has been a tension in Taiwanese cinema since the 1980s between art-house films and films for the masses. Art-house movies have often done poorly in Taiwan, criticized for being too obscure, too slow in pace and lacking in plot. How do you view this tension between art and the commodity?
In Taiwan, there is a huge distance between the artistic quality of a film and the audience. The artistic component of the film helps in overseas distribution, but matters little in Taiwan, where commercial success is the main concern. Hou Hsiao-Hsien is the only director who has had success both commercially and artistically, though few people in Taiwan appreciate his films on the artistic level. [Usually] in Taiwan, art films will be screened at ten in the morning for only two people, and by the end of the day, they will be out of the theatres. This type of [art film] market needs to be nurtured in Taiwan. Recently, I gave 70 lectures for What Time is it There? in Taiwan and as a result, over 50,000 people showed up to watch the movie. In Taipei, my new film [Goodbye Dragon Inn, 2003] had seven screenings and only one person left during them. I guess it's just a process.
I was determined to detach myself from commercial filmmaking. I think its important for us to realize where our values lie, only if you understand your own work very clearly can you understand where you are. I personally have gone to the streets and sold tickets, I'm trying very hard to combat [the mainstream], otherwise we will only have Hollywood and McDonald's in this world. Otherwise we'd only have genre films; film would only be one thing.
How did you first become involved in cinema? What about the cinematic form was particularly appealing to you?
My childhood really was a golden age for movies, in the '60s and '70s there was no other entertainment, all we had was movies. My grandparents were such fans they had to watch one movie a day. They lived in a small city in Malaysia where there were seven or eight huge theatres. [My grandparents] would sell noodles on the side of the street, and take turns to see movies; sometimes I double-shifted and saw the movie with each of them. Later I had to go back to my hometown, because my father found out I was just watching movies everyday.
[In college] I chose theatre without really knowing what difference there was between theatre and film. After graduation, I did theatre, experimental theatre, TV, but never thought would turn into film director. I didn't know I would be here today.
Film really chose me, this type of film chose me. Unfortunately I don't have a swimming pool, my films are more abstruse. (laughs)
As your films use verbal dialogue sparingly, it puts an even greater emphasis is put on the relationship between your characters and the urban spaces of Taipei. What is the place of this dynamic in your films?
The themes I am dealing with are small, localized. They are all about my feelings and understanding of life. The urban space is only a background for me. I throw my character into a space and isolate them. That space could be very populated or very empty. I believe that humans are not different in nature whether they are in a crowd or on a toilet. Their isolation or sense of loneliness is for me an effective way of representing human nature.
I'm very careful with the quality of a setting, including its colors and sense of age, because the character is in a state of isolation. He has no chance to talk - therefore I often have to rely on the setting and the elements of the setting to convey these feelings in the viewer. I spend much of my time looking for sites. When I find a great site, it will alter my feelings. I will start to feel like the sites have their own characters.
Your body of work seems to question the status of the erotic in the modern city. The sense of alienation that inhabits your characters is frequently augmented by libidinal repression. Certain of your films - Vive L'Amour, The River, What Time is it There? - conclude with failed or distorted realizations of sexual desire. How do you view the role of the erotic in these works?
I want to express the failure of erotic desire to be realized in contemporary urban space. I would like to make my films about disappearing, like The Skywalk is Gone  and Goodbye Dragon Inn. The whole theatre is disappearing in that film! This subject is important to me because society changes so fast and everything disappears so fast - historical sites, culture. One day I walked to the area where Lee Kang-Sheng was selling watches [in What Time is it There?], and I realized that 'the skywalk is gone.' It happens in Asia like that, things just disappear. People in their forties have no way of finding traces of their childhood. Modern people are afraid of disappearance. Living in Taipei, for example, we constantly have to deal with compelling visual change. We ask the question: what do you love the most? Who do you love the most? You will lose them - it will happen in modern society. My films ask the question: how we can face the disappearance? The loss?
Illness is a pervasive theme in your work, be it the mysterious sickness in The River or the apocalyptic disease in The Hole.. You also made My New Friends, a 1997 documentary about AIDS. What is the significance of this theme to you?
To answer, I need to return to the issue of the human body. The body of course has its interior as well as its exterior properties. I feel that the cause of sickness nowadays is people not exploring their internal realities. The reason why I decided to incorporate sickness into The River was because I witnessed this episode when Lee Kang-Sheng became sick. It lasted for nine months. That was the first time that I began to understand the relationship between human psychology and illness. I realized that he probably got sick because he wasn't able to adapt to the changes in his life, such as becoming involved in a filmmaking circle. I think it's true for everyone that we have a hard time confronting and recognizing the dark corners of the mind.
How do you approach writing your scripts? Do you provide much space for improvisation and spontaneity when shooting?
My scripts are very small. They're like poetry, only containing instructions on how to make my films. When I write my scripts, there is no dialogue for the actors, but I communicate a lot with them so that when they are in settings, they have an idea of how to communicate their characters. This style lets actors experience life and act in the film. My actors are not like Hollywood actors-they are not taught how to act or speak. My actors seem like real people. You don't think of them as performing. I always give the actors a lot of time within the shot. I wait and then they act naturally. This is the best technique.


Little orphan Annie went from rags to riches, and a dog playing the role of Sandy in a local production of the Broadway musical has a similar life story. The shelter dog is now shining under the spotlight.
Barney, playing the role of Sandy, performed right on cue on opening night of the musical "Annie" at the Starlight Theater in Balboa Park.
He's the four-legged star of the show, but it hasn't always been glitz and glamour for Barney. In fact, his real-life story began a lot like little orphan Annie's.
Barney was discovered in a local shelter.
"We thought OK, there's a dog in the show and why don't we try to do something a little different and try to rescue a dog and find a home for the dog, and tie that in with the story," "Annie" director and choreographer Dan Mojica said.
It was back in May when the Starlight Theater partnered with the Helen Woodward Animal Center to cast the perfect canine. Rob Kuty of San Diego Pet Training played the role of talent scout, searching not only for star quality, but also for a specific look - a sandy-colored, medium-sized dog.
As fate would have it, he found Barney - a one-year-old terrier-golden retriever mix - at the end of the row. Barney got his big break, and the training began.
Barney was also put into a new home with foster mom Julie Watkins so he could get used to being around people.
"When I first got him he just paced my house back and forth constantly. Now he'll just sit here at my heels and really, really sweet, really mellow," Julie said.
Then came the big meeting between Annie and Sandy. Hanna Rose Kornfeld and Barney hit it off from the start, and Barney worked like a pro, following his newly-learned commands.
Barney's training also included hanging out near the airport.
"Since we are in the flight path of the airport here, the show comes to a standstill every time a plane flies overhead," Mojica said.
"He's good with the stage, he's reacting well to the planes. I think we're going to have a lot of fun and the audience is going to love him," Kornfeld said.
And she was right. After three months of hard work, this shelter dog was transformed into a stage dog.
"I definitely think that it brings more of a connection to Annie and the dog, that by the end of the show and by the end of the run, we'll each find a home," Kornfeld said.
Orphan Annie finds a happy home, but what about Barney? Julie Watkins decided to adopt him. It's affectionately called a "foster failure," because the foster family loves the dog so much they can't give him up. There couldn't be a better ending for Barney.


Old news. White button down on women has been existing since the movies were running black and white. Then Audrey Hepburn came and stamp it firmly on the scene when she appeared in hers paired with a pair of capri pants and ballerina flats. Fashion world were reeling and suddenly the 'boring' white button down became an all time must have. Me, I never turned my back from this simple piece when I saw Julia Roberts wearing one in the movie Pretty Woman, making that cheap mini skirt she wore it with looked like a million bucks! To me it is the easiest piece of clothing to pair with and I just cannot stop buying! One can never go wrong with it, be it casual or polished. It never fail to look chic which ever way you pair it with - over a pair of shorts, jeans, pencil skirt or even the long elegant glittery skirt as Sharon Stone once wore to the Oscar! If I must have only one item in my closet, it definitely have to be this boring white button down shirt. Okay enough of me babbling, now you, what do you think of white button down?


I am an Amsterdam based film director. My work is characterized by urgency in topics and creativeness in style. I am specialized in documentary film, but I do commercial and TV work as well. I am a skilled researcher and I teach about filmmaking in different art schools.
Also, I am co-founder of the SAM foundation. This foundation helps Single African Mothers, who have been abandoned or abused, to become mentally and financially independent. We are currently setting up a tuktuk-business in Kenya run by female drivers only.
I am available for directing, research, editing and copywriting jobs. Send me an email to share thoughts over a cup of coffee, or if you want a link to one of my films with English subtitles.


One of the incredibly cool things I discovered a few years ago is that I have three consecutive generations of artists in my family! Gottfried Kirchbach was my grandmother's father, and Frank Kirchbach his father, and Ernst Kirchbach again his father — and head of an art academy in Chili.
The coolest thing? They also did visual storytelling! And I can see some of my way of drawing in what they made! I regularly revisit their art to see what I can learn from them. It is just so incredibly special to have my ancestors be my mentors.
I was able to buy a program for a German silent movie recently. The film was “Demi-Vierges: Sklaven der Sinnlichkeit” (Half-virgins: slaves of sensuality) by director Manfred Noa. The movie came out in 1919, the year my grandmother was born.
The movie was part of a trend during a short period around 1919 for so-called “aufklärungsfilme,” sexual education films, movies with a moral undertone. I suspect the movie wasn't really very good as I can't find a lot about it online. It appears to warn women against having ... relationships with men ... before marriage. A woman has extra-marital affairs — and is killed in the end.
Gottfried had made four lithographs for the program, and I am going to be creating pen and ink versions of these drawings for practice and learning as much as I can from his approach.

In the series, Matt Czuchry plays Conrad Hawkins a brilliant doctor at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital whose charm is not to be outdone by his ego. Dr. Hawkins takes risks and is known for unconventional approaches to medicine that often time work out in his and the patient’s favor. Joining him is Dr. Devon Pravesh, an idealistic doctor who with the help of Conrad Hawkins, begins to understand that medicine is a business and may need to be treated as such.
Dr. Conrad Hawkins also feels that it’s his duty to open the innocent eyes of the hospital’s 1st year residents to what the business of medicine is actually about and that the lines between what is ethical and not are often times blurred.

Streaming giant Netflix has forged a multi-year creative partnership deal with movie production giant Yash Raj Films (YRF).
Under the partnership, the two parties will collaborate to create both films and series.
The partnership’s first project, The Railway Men, is a four-part thriller series featuring R. Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyendu Sharma, and Babil Khan, while the second project is a film, Maharaj, a statement said.
“We are passionate about serving our broad audiences with series and films that they connect with and love, and we want to do more of this. Yash Raj Films have defined the essence of Indian film-making. They are one of the most respected storytellers in the industry,” said Monika Shergill, VP of content at Netflix India.
“From Kabhi Kabhie to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, War to Pathaan, their signature stories have been part of our lives and continue to fuel the zeitgeist. Together, we are confident that we can entertain the world with quality films and series like never before,” Shergill added.
The announcement comes at a time when Netflix is reportedly considering a shift in its content strategy and is mulling placing a greater emphasis on blockbuster films to attract new subscribers and retain its existing user base.
Notably, Indian films like “RRR” and “Gangubai Kathiawadi” have performed well on the platform, indicating their popularity with viewers. Additionally, Indian films frequently appear on Netflix’s global non-English top 10 weekly lists.
Netflix is still striving to establish a significant presence in the crowded Indian OTT market, where it faces competition from the likes of JioCinema, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+Hotstar.
Recently, Netflix also partnered with Jio under which the telecom company will offer prepaid tariff plans bundled with a subscription for the US-based streaming major. This is the first-of-its kind partnership for Netflix in India.
Meanwhile, Netflix has also stopped password sharing in India as it looks to bolster revenue in the second half of 2023.
In a letter addressed to its shareholders, the company said earlier this year it would extend the ban on password sharing to almost all the remaining countries. In a separate email sent to Indian subscribers, the company noted that a single account would be limited to a single household.

"Trish Cahill and I did extensive tests to create ‘The China Look’ for MAO’S LAST DANCER. I wanted the China footage to look like it was shot in 1972, on old Eastman Colour Film. It involved a lot of hard work in the DI, blowing up the one stop under exposed negative 50%, applying a 1972 style colour twist and matching all the images shot under dozens of varied conditions. This China footage was intercut, and contrasted to ‘The USA’ footage set in 1982, which we created a separate look for.
I photographed the film knowing what Trish would do in the DI. She never disappointed me and always came up with the ‘look’ the film required. It was a pleasure collaborating and spending time with Trish. She has a good sense of humour and contributed so much to the look of the Cinematography. She works with and understands what the Cinematographer wants and delivers with a smile on her face making it all look so easy, which it isn't.
"Trish Cahill did the most unbelievable job of colour grading Samson & Delilah. Her attention to detail and ability to make everything look really natural meant I could take all the credit as the cinematographer! I can't highly recommend her enough. But she better be free for my next film or there'll be trouble."
“No stage of the filmmaking process makes me feel more like I'm losing my mind than the grade. Suddenly one point of magenta in either direction feels like a life-or-death decision, I don't know what I'm looking at anymore, don't know if I ever did. There the film is, up on a big screen, looking as good as it's ever gonna look - and it's utterly terrifying. All of which is why I love sharing the experience with Trish Cahill. Not only is she incredibly talented, she has a beautiful, quiet way of always making me feel like everything will be OK - that's the kind of person I want to be sitting in dark, scary rooms with."
