小编摘要：由《暮光之城》女主角Kristen Stewart主演的新片《在路上》（On the Road）近日曝光数款人物海报。而此片也将在下个月举行的戛纳电影节上举行首映。
该片根据美国作家杰克·凯鲁亚克（Jack Kerouac）的同名小说改编。描述了美国二战后“垮掉的一代”（the Beat Generation）。22岁的斯图尔特在片中扮演16岁的女孩玛丽露（MaryLou）。该片将在9月21日在英国上映，在年内也将在美国上映。
'Love is a duel' reads the just-released poster for Kristen Stewart's new film, On the Road, in which she has topless scenes.
As MaryLou, Kristen appears pensively beautiful wearing vintage-framed sunglasses, a striped t-shirt, and displaying sun-kissed highlights in her brown hair as she stares off into the distance while seated in a car.
The 22-year-old plays the 16-year-old bride of Dean Moriarty (Tron's Garrett Hedlund) in the heavily-anticipated adventure/drama film adaptation of the classic Jack Kerouac novel, which will compete for the Palme d'Or at its Cannes premiere in May.
The entire cast reportedly underwent a three-week 'beatnik boot camp' for the film, led by Kerouac biographer Gerald Nicosia, in which they read literature pertaining to the Beat Generation.
In the free-spirited trailer, Kristen goes topless while sitting in a car next to a similarly clothes-free Garrett and English actor Sam Riley as a thinly-veiled version of Kerouac.
The story is based on the years Kerouac spent traveling the United States in the 1940s with his friend Neal Cassady and several other figures who would go on to fame in their own right, including William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

Guest post written by Healther Hathaway
I don't know if you could say that I get out much. My work keeps me so busy and that doesn't leave time for a whole lot of fun. I'm raising two teenagers too, who take up a good chunk of my time. Well, somehow along the way I've missed going to see a Broadway play, even though I've thought about it a lot of times.
I really love seeing movie versions of the plays though and I heard that they filmed the play Memphis and they're showing it in theaters, so I want to go and see it. While I was looking online to try and find some info on seeing it, I ran across a website on Miracle-Ear. I've thought about getting hearing aids for a while now, so I think that I might go and get a hearing aid test and get fitted for them next week.
I've heard so many good things about the Memphis musical. One of my friends even went to see it on Broadway and told me how great it was and that I needed to see it. Now I'll actually be able to see it!

Page 5 of 5
#10 The Devil's Backbone (2001) Directed by Guillermo del Toro, this is the skillful prequel to Pan's Labyrinth. During the Spanish Civil War, an orphan boy confronts the secrets that haunt the orphanage of Saint Lucia. El Spinazzo del Diablo
#9 The Howling (1981) Directed by Joe Dante, starring Dee Wallace. The was the first truly convincing werewolf movie that set the standard for the next 3 decades. This movie spawned 7 sequels.
#8 Ju-On : The Grudge (2003) The original Japanese movie was eerie in many disturbing ways.
#7 Friday the 13th (Original 1980) Kevin Bacon's first big film break. Unlike some of its sequels (3, 4, 6) this movie was genuinely well crafted, and has a nice twist ending. and TV spot:
#6 The Thing (1982) "Man is the warmest place to hide" John Carpenter showed us his directorial genius again, in a sci-fi/horror masterpiece starring Kurt Russell. A science crew in the arctic circle find a spaceship frozen in the ice from centuries earlier. Something sneaks out and begins to take over each man.
#5 Jeepers Creepers (2001) “Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get those peepers...” An often overlooked film, this scarey thriller built up a good premise and followed through to the end. Jeepers Creepers and its sequel were both very deftly cut, and are truly fun to watch.
#4 The Fog (1980) The perfect ghost story, The Original Fog was brilliantly filmed. The music is inspired, and the scenes of the fog rolling in from the bay – are creepy. 100 years ago, the founders of Antonio Bay caused a ship of lepers to crash on its rocks, stealing their gold. Now on the anniversary, the ship has come back with its crew to claim its gold, and revenge.
#3 Pumpkinhead (1988) Stan Winston gives us an excellent fright film, and a new icon: Pumpkinhead. He gets revenge on those who've been wrong, but at a price. The witch, Hagus, is perfect with her raspy voice, "It's what you want, Ed Harley."
#2 John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) The Original Halloween, crafted with skill by John Carpenter. Possibly the best horror movie soundtrack of all time, too. Michael Myers escapes his asylum and comes home to Haddonfield, Illinois, to find his sister. Tag-line: The Night he came home.
#1 The Changeling (1980) The pinnacle of ghost films. You'll never forget the child's voice during the séance scene, “Joseph....” George C. Scott moves into a secluded mansion to write music, but the ghost of a wheelchair-bound child – murdered 70 years ago for profit – remains. The child want's the composer's help to get revenge. The wheelchair in the attic is creepy and unforgettable. This movie often gets missed, but is a must-see!

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — New Line is working with The Sopranos creator David Chase on a prequel movie to his HBO mob drama The Sopranos.
Chase wrote the screenplay for The Many Saints of Newark with Lawrence Konner, Variety reported Thursday. Chase will also produce and help hire a director for the project.
The series ran 1999 to 2007, earning 21 Emmy Awards along the way. It starred the late James Gandolfini as the fictional crime boss Tony Soprano, who suffered panic attacks and consulted a psychiatrist about how to balance his work as a dangerous gangster with being a good family man. The ensemble also included Edie Falco, Steven Van Zandt, Jamie‑Lynn Sigler, Lorraine Bracco, Michael Imperioli, Dominic Chianese, Steve Buscemi, Steve Schirripa, Tony Sirico and Frank Vincent.
Set in 1960s New Jersey when racial tensions and violence between Italian and African Americans were at a fever pitch, the prequel will likely focus on younger versions of characters introduced on The Sopranos, such as Tony’s father Johnny, mother Livia and uncle Junior, Deadline.com said.
No casting or plot details have been announced yet.
“David is a masterful storyteller and we, along with our colleagues at HBO, are thrilled that he has decided to revisit, and enlarge, the Soprano universe in a feature film,” Warner Bros Pictures Group Chairman Toby Emmerich said in a statement.

Little Old Lady – The Abbott and Costello Show season 1
Little Old Lady – The boys attempt to help an old lady who has been dispossessed. They win $300 playing amusement park midway games, but the old lady …
Little Old Lady – Act I
After taunting Mike the Cop by selling him a “chocolate guesser” — actually a chocolate-covered mothball, Lou Costello runs away. His pal Bud Abbott threatens to correct him by slapping him in the face. After a minute of taunting by Lou, he does it! And Lou’s going to hit him back, but every time he raises a fist, Bud slaps him first. “Don’t raise a fist to me, boy.” Then, they see a little old lady on the street, with all of her furniture …
Lou at first misunderstands, but Bud quickly clarifies. The lady’s been dispossessed — evicted for not paying her rent. So, the soft-hearted Lou gives her his last 11 dollars. Which the landlord promptly takes, and puts on her account. Lou vows that he will raise the rest of the money that the little old lady needs — somehow. But the question is: how?
Coming across a panhandler, Lou gets the idea of raising money for the little old lady that way. And the panhandler offers to sell him his tin cup for 5 dollars, since he’s got another one at home. Bud points out that he can buy a new one at the store for 10 cents! After Lou’s nearly cheated, Bud prompts the man to sell it for 25 cents. The man does so, and walks away …. Pulling a new cup out of his pocket!
And Lou’s attempts at panhandling are complete, funny failures. Eventually, he quits in disgust, and goes back to meet Bud at the boardinghouse.
Little Old Lady – Act II
After an introductory joke about Lou Costello writing his mother — to ask for money — the story continues. Bud and Lou are trying to move the little old lady’s furniture off the street. After Lou clownishly tries to carry a chair across the street, only to get turned around, a nice man with a truck stops. The three of them load her furniture …. Into the Salvation Army truck! And it drives off. To add insult to injury, the little old lady’s parrot is still there, and speaks up at the wrong time. First, getting Lou in trouble with Bud, and then with a pretty lady walking down the street!
Next, Bud and Lou are trying to move one of the remaining pieces for furniture — a couch. But Lou, taking a break on the couch, gets pushed down the street by a truck! And then, to make matters worse, it’s parked outside a resale shop, and Sam the owner thinks that Lou’s trying to steal his couch! Soon, Mike the Cop and Bud get involved as well, before the mess is straightened out.
However, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is, Hillary Brooke is letting the little old lady share her apartment. But the bad news is, most of her furniture is gone! What to do? Hillary has the answer for that, two. There’s a carnival, where Mr. Fields is running a game of chance. Couldn’t Bud and Lou win a little bit of money for her?
At the Carnival
At the carnival, there’s a lot of comedy, and Bud and Lou see “Hercules” at the Try Your Strength booth (run by Mr. Bacciagalupe). He fails, as does his wife — who blames him for her failure! Bud tries and fails, then its Lou’s turn. Lou manages to hit himself on the head with the mallet and then …. hits it with his bare hand, and rings the bell! Which flies off and hits poor Mike the Cop! And then it’s on to the main event.
Mr. Fields is running a “guess the number” contest, with the aid of ten lovely young ladies. All Lou has to do is pinch one of the girls on the cheek while Sid’s back is turned, and he’ll guess which one. It sounds too good to be true — because it is. After, Sid asks Lou questions like, “Is the number odd or even?”, “Is it between 3 and 4?” etc. But Bud has an idea on how to turn the tables. He has Sid pick the number while Lou’s back is turned. And then, Bud taps Lou on the back, that many times. And it works! At first. Until Sid picks girl #0! After a moment of frustration, Bud kicks Lou in the seat of the pants, causing Lou to shout “Oh!” — and win the bet!
Back at the boardinghouse, Lou gives all of their winnings to the little old lady — $300! And she promptly calls her bookie, and bets it all on a 20-to-1 horse race, ending the episode!

Sid Fields: You owe $35 back rent, plus the $7 for the little old lady, that’ll make $42 dollars. And plus $3 for the use of the electric washer.
Bud Abbott: Hey …
Lou Costello: Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Fields, we never use the electric washer.
Sid Fields: Sorry, it was there for you. If you didn’t use it, it was no fault of mine.
Lou Costello: [to Bud] He’s a hard one, ain’t he? [to Mr. Fields] Hey, wait a minute. How much you say we owe?
Sid Fields: 45 dollars.
Lou Costello: Well, take off $40 for kissing my girlfriend, Hillary.
Sid Fields: Why, I’ve never kissed Hillary Brooke!
Lou Costello: Well, that’s no fault of mine if you didn’t kiss Hillary. It was there for you.

A little while ago my wife and I watched the movie "Run Fat Boy Run". I thought the movie was okay, but one particular part made me cry because I was laughing so hard.
It's the part where he hits the wall during the marathon. If you have never run a marathon before, this is a perfect (and very funny) illustration of what it feels like to hit the wall. For those of you who have run a marathon, is this not exactly what you feel like around mile 21?

D Light Studios Are delighted to announce that the recipient of the 2021 D-Light Studios Residency award is local film and documentary maker Luke McManus.
Over the next 6 months, Luke will be working on his first feature documentary for cinema. It’s a film about the north inner city of Dublin and the street that defines it, the North Circular Road that takes you from the gates of the Phoenix Park to the banks of the Liffey as it edges towards the sea.
The physical character of the road changes as you travel it. The buildings which you pass on the way are like an almanac of Ireland’s history - barracks, prisons, cemeteries, hospitals, stadiums & asylums. The psychological resonance of the built environment will be an important theme in the film.
It’s an area that has been a rich source of creativity, writers like Sean O'Casey, Brendan Behan, Austin Clarke & James Joyce lived and worked along it.
The film will also include contemporary musicians who live near the NCR.


|Look at me! I'm so hot I make grown men drool!|
First off, sorry about the delay between reviews. We went on vacation for a couple weeks and did a lot of house/yard work. Then I was on call for an insane amount of hours and then other things took over our lives, including morning sickness, work, visitors, but hopefully now we will be back on a semi-regular basis again.
This was an interesting movie, but as I stated already, it was ultimately disappointing. It felt like a movie that I was supposed to understand on a more deep level, but I just didn't “get it.” At first it seems much like another Kevin Spacey movie, The Ref, at least for the first half, with the angry parents who hate each other and are emotionally separated from each other, and the angsty teenager that hates both parents and the parents who don't understand their teenager. Not sure how Spacey won for best actor, he seemed to play his usual character, the monotone somewhat emotionally distant character/spouse, we have seen this many times before, and although he may do it well it has gotten tiring by this point.


Beyond The Holders
|Log in | Register|
The Holder of Film
In any city in any country, go to the nearest theater you can find. Approach the ticket booth, but say nothing until the person at the counter has asked you which movie you would like to see; speak before this, and you have already failed. Once he has said this, ask to see the Holder of Film. The person at the booth will look dumbfounded, as if you had just spouted nonsense at him. He will repeat his question, and you must repeat yours in kind. The man's face will now be one of pity, and he will open a drawer beneath the booth and give you a ticket. Be sure to inspect this ticket before doing anything else. If the ticket has anything written on it, immediately go to the place you call home and burn it; the minions of the Holder have marked you as unworthy to live, and they are quick to act. If the ticket is blank, you may proceed safely, if you can even call it safe.
You may buy nothing at the consession stand, as the Holder will wait for no mortal, but instead go down the hallway to the left of the theater and walk without stopping. The hallway will seem to stretch out beyond the size of the theater, with rooms numbering in the hundreds to each side. From these rooms you will hear uproarious laughter, exciting battles, applause and even muffled orgies depending on your character, but do not divert your attention, for even looking at the wrong door for more than an instant will summon half-human monstrosities to drag you into the door, where tortures beyond comprehension occur. Eventually, you may see out of the corner of your eye a single door that is made of crudely-fashioned wood and steel plates. Enter this room as soon as you see it, for missing it will have you wandering the halls until you are begging to be mutilated by the demons beyond the other doors, just to end the monotony.
If you managed to enter the correct door, you will find yourself in a normal theater, at least at first. The movie has not yet started, and the audience is composed of men, women and children with horrible, stretched smiles on their faces and empty eyes. They will all stare at you intently, as if looking into your soul, but your eyes must not meet theirs, nor should you speak a single word, or you will be forced to witness all of your most putrid sins, a sight that will leave your mind a worthess husk, aware of only pain and despair. Proceed to the middle row, where you will see an elderly man in a brown coat wearing spectacles, the Holder of this Object. Politely move to the empty seat beside him, and quietly sit down, without ever acknowledging his existance.
Once you are ready, say the words: "We are ready to witness what we have wrought.", and the projector will flicker to life and the film shall begin. In an instant, you will be bombarded by horrendous images of the most gut-wrenchingly vile acts humanity has ever committed. Children defiled and violated, innocent people butchered without pity or restraint, the deepest depths of the human soul all shown in unrelenting detail. And the audience will laugh. The sound of their laughter will be the only score to this parade of pure evil. You must laugh with them, for any other emotion, be it horror, disgust, or even apathy, will alert the audience of your presence, and you will discover where this film obtains its actors. While you laugh, you must keep your mind on absolutely anything else. Imagine a comedian you admire, a humorous television show, for the images you see will attempt burn into your mind, your face contorting into the same horrible grin as the others around you as the film is etched into your retinas to see for all eternity.
The film will go on for what will seem like days, but you must hold on to your sanity until it ends. Once the film has mercifully ended, the audience members will applaud, and you must join in, or the film shall start again, and again, and again, until you rip out your own eyes and ears just to end your miserable excuse for a life. Once the applause has ended, without warning, the audience will begin routinely murdering each other in the same ways as in the film. You must pay the massacre no mind unless you wish to join them. When the last man falls, only you and the elderly man, who remained completely silent during the entire ordeal, will remain. Only when the last corpse has fallen, you will turn to him and ask "Why do we wish to remember Them?". He will slowly turn to you and answer your question, and if you believed that you had already witnessed the worst horrors imaginable, his answer will try to rend your now wavering sanity to its core. Should you survive his statement without plunging your fingers into your skull, he will produce a gnarled ticket stub, similar to the one you should still have. At this point, you may leave the theater doors, which will lead out the side door of the theater. Do what you will with the ticket you obtained from the ticket counter; the creatures that obey the Holder know what you have been given, and even they dare not touch you now.
The Ticket is Object 700 of 2538. They do not care if you are early or late. You will join Them either way.

If reports are to be believed, British rising star Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Canada's Mackenzie Davis are the first actors to be cast in Netflix's forthcoming series of Black Mirror.
Entertainment website The Wrap reports that the emergent actresses are "set to star" in one of the 12 all-new episodes of the chilling dystopian series written by Charlie Brooker.
No other details have been released about the episode, nor the 11 it accompanies, other than that it will be directed by Owen Harris. Harris directed Black Mirror's Be Right Back, an episode which starred then-unfamiliar actors Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson. The show gave an eerie look into a near-future where the bereaved could turned their lost loved ones into robots.
Netflix, the on-demand streaming service that has modernised traditional broadcasting, announced it would be putting out 12 new episodes of Black Mirrorin September. The show, which previously had two critically acclaimed series of three episodes each, and a one-off special, between 2011 and 2014 on Channel 4, had been in the middle of a bidding war between US networks HBO, Syfy and Netflix.

According to Newsday, Mark Feuerstein, who plays Cliff Calley, is featured in an Internet video:
"While it may not quite live up to the Biggie vs. Tupac beef, a battle-rap video billed as the West Coast response to the popular "Saturday Night Live" skit "Lazy Sunday," is the latest viral video to hit the Internet.
The "SNL" short, which became one of the most downloaded videos when it first appeared in December, featured cast members Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg, rapping about the greatness of Red Vines, Mr. Pibb soda and Magnolia Bakery cupcakes as they head to the movie theater to see "The Chronicles of Narnia."
In the West Coast version, "Lazy Monday," Mark Feuerstein and Adam Stein try to one-up their rivals by bragging about iced coffee and hanging out at Color Me Mine, a paint-your-own-pottery novelty store (both videos can be seen at www.narniarapbattle.com).
Feuerstein, an actor who has appeared in several TV shows, including "West Wing," and Stein, a writer/director and graduate of the University of Southern California film school, created the video with fellow USC alum Sam Friedlander, who served as director.
"We actually sent it directly to 'SNL' first and offered them the opportunity to put it on the air as a direct challenge to them to start what could still be a recurring bit, but . . . they said they couldn't air it because we're not regular members of the cast," Feuerstein said.
And in typical hip-hop fashion, Feuerstein is doing everything he can to escalate the beef.
"We have not heard from them [Parnell and Samberg], and if we don't we're going to attempt to arrange a drive-by water-gun hit on them!"


S.C. Smith is a generative dramaturg and creative strategy consultant.
What is a generative dramaturg? An experiment in progress…
To start, he has an MFA in Dramaturgy from Columbia University. This means he is trained to be the dedicated person on the creative team whose primary task is to support the project’s development by asking key questions, starting conversations, and challenging assumptions. Classical dramaturgy involves deconstructing and recontextualizing Shakespeare and Chekhov.
As an alumnus of the Digital Storytelling Lab, S.C. now practices “generative dramaturgy”. Subverting classical dramaturgy, he radicalizes dramatic theory and composition to generate emergent, experimental moments of life x art.
His work has been programmed at the New York Film Festival, The New Ohio Theater, The Park Avenue Armory, HERE Arts Center, and featured in The New Yorker, Vulture Magazine, Broadway World, and Hollywood Soapbox.
As a creative strategy consultant, he works with brands to tell innovative, often experiential stories. A selection of his client list includes Blockchain Creative Labs (Fox Entertainment) @ SXSW, ConsenSys, and Coinbase.

In the past two decades, film and television production in Toronto has soared to become one of the city’s major economic engines, rising from $600 million in 1997 to $1.8 billion in 2017. Film Toronto estimates the industry accounted for more than 30,000 jobs last year. Highlights in 2017 included playing host to the Emmy Award winner for best drama, The Handmaid’s Tale, and the Oscar Best Picture winner The Shape of Water, which got a boost at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, premiering in the same theatre where parts of it were filmed.
In both cases, and in most movies shot in Toronto, the city fills in for some other, usually American, location. Locals are accustomed to spotting the landmarks through the cinematic disguise. Here’s a look at the top-grossing movies ever filmed in Toronto, based on worldwide earnings in U.S. dollars.
Shot mostly in Toronto (with additional filming in Hamilton), this lyrically unconventional sci-fi romance won 2017’s Academy Award for Best Picture, using such locations as the Humanities Wing building on the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus, the Elgin Theatre, the facade of Massey Hall and the sign for Fran’s opposite it on the north side of Shuter Street, the Lakeview Restaurant at Dundas and Ossington Sts. and the Keating Channel in the Port Lands.
Despite some decidedly mixed reviews, the sci-fi remake, starring Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale, still managed to clean up at the global box office. Toronto locations used in the shoot included Roy Thomson Hall on King St. W., the Metro Convention Centre at the foot of the CN Tower, the Gardiner Expressway and a hidden gem, the Lower Bay Station, a fully-equipped subway station never put into use by the TTC that’s frequently used by filmmakers.
Hairspray — A remake of John Waters’ 1988 homage to 1960s television dance shows, Hairspray spoofed race politics and featured a cross-dressing John Travolta in a fat suit. The production spanned the city, convincingly transforming the intersection of Dundas West and Roncesvalles Avenue into retro Baltimore, while making use of the octagonal Lord Lansdowne Public School, Gale's Snack Bar at Carlaw and Eastern Aves. (remade as the Hardy Har Hut joke shop) and Lakeview Restaurant (again). Hairspray was a critical success, and still ranks as the 10th highest-grossing live-action musical.
Another remake, with more than quadruple the budget of the 1987 original (adjusted for inflation), RoboCop drew a flurry of attention on social media with the first images of star Joel Kinnaman in his high-tech body armour suit while the crew shot exterior scenes along College Street. While Hamilton’s aged industrial zone stood in for a crumbling, futuristic Detroit, the Hearn Generating Station in the Port Lands served as the backdrop for the film’s training scene.
The Incredible Hulk, which featured the oddly miscast Edward Norton as the scientist you don't want to make angry, earned plenty of green at the box office. While the film’s opening scenes are shot in Rio de Janiero, most of the film makes extensive use of Toronto, including U of T’s King’s College, Knox College and Convocation Hall. You'll also see the Cherry Street bridge, Scarborough’s Morningside Park and a climactic fight between monster hero and villain takes place on Yonge Street outside the Zanzibar Tavern (subbing for Harlem).
Toronto has aptly served as Raccoon City for most of the Resident Evil franchise throughout much of its unexpectedly long life, save for the third installment, Extinction (2007). That includes a memorable helicopter landing on top of Toronto City Hall in part two, Apocalyse. But the fourth instalment, Afterlife, earned massive money while making extensive use of Cinespace Film Studios as well as the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Pharmacy building, and the university’s Scarborough campus. Its earnings nearly match the most recent instalment, The Final Chapter, which makes it a title you probably shouldn’t believe.
This relatively low-budget drama kickstarted the careers of stars and co-writers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who won an Oscar for best screenplay for a story about a working-class mathematical genius, while scoring big numbers at the box office. Central Technical School at Bathurst and Harbord Sts. and the University of Toronto campus stood in for Boston-area locations, Harvard University and MIT, while the famous “How do you like them apples?” scene was filmed at the now-defunct Upfront Bar & Grill on Front St. E.
Chicagoans were particulary outraged that the Oscar best picture winner for the musical named Chicago was actually filmed in Toronto. And how! Among the numerous locations in the 2002 film that you won't find in the Windy City: the Ontario Legislature building at Queen’s Park, Casa Loma, the Distillery District, the Danforth Music Hall, Osgoode Hall, the Canada Life Building, the Elgin Theatre and 133 Church St. (remade as a hair salon).
The wildly successful X-Men series kicked off in the GTA in 2000, using Oshawa’s Parkwood Estate to serve as Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Children. It also filmed at several sites in Toronto, including Roy Thomson Hall, interior shots at Casa Loma, transforming Metro Hall into a senate chamber and turning the historic Distillery District into 1940s Poland.
This giant robots versus sea monsters epic is the most expensive film ever shot in Toronto, thanks to Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, who loves the city unreservedly and owns a home here. Making use of Pinewood Toronto Studios’ massive soundstages, there are also some exteriors shot at the Scarborough Bluffs as well as the Hearn Generating Station in the Port Lands, and a street scene (set in Tokyo) on Elizabeth Street just north of City Hall.
The little comedy that could from Winnipegger Nia Vardalos turned a modest trinket into gold at the box office, and Toronto played a starring role with a long list of locations, including the Danforth’s Greektown neighbourhood (439 Danforth Ave. became Olympus Travel Agency), Ryerson University’s Rogers Communication Centre, Harbourfront Centre, the historic Enoch Turner schoolhouse, Jarvis Collegiate, the exterior of Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church and the interior of St. Nicholas Ukrainian Church. There was a wedding after all and it was big.
Despite being panned by many critics (with a 28 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes), this super-villain mash-up holds the distinction of being the highest-earning movie ever shot in the city. The ultra-violent action film wreaks some expensive mayhem upon downtown locales, with Deadshot (Will Smith) rappelling down the side of 151 Front St. W., a snowstorm scene along Adelaide St. E., a plane crash scene on Yonge St. between College and Wellesley, a helicopter crash on Bay Street and scenes shot on Lake Shore Blvd., Union Station, Yonge-Dundas Square and the TTC’s Lower Bay Station.


Half Girlfriend’ marks a unique creative collaboration between the writer of ‘2 States’ (Chetan Bhagat), director of ‘Aashiqui 2’ (Mohit Suri) and producers of ‘Ek Villain’ (Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor).
Apart from an interesting storyline, it’s the title of Chetan’s popular novel that drew Ekta to the project. She decided to turn the book into a film the instant she finished reading it. Ekta says, “Today, relationships cannot be compartmentalised.
There cannot be a single definition for some bonds, which is why, at times, we find ourselves halfway between two spaces. After watching this film, I hope people stop trying to define all relationships and start celebrating them instead.”


The Telugu film industry provides its audiences with movies, web series, chat shows, and more across different genres like romance, action, comedy, drama, kids, thrillers, etc. The Telugu film industry is undoubtedly one of the most popular among all the film industries.

Add to these the foot-tapping dance numbers, melodic songs, hair-raising action scenes, and rib-tickling humor, and you have a recipe tailor-made for success. It is no surprise then that Telugu movies are some of the highest gross-earners in India. With theatres drawing their shutters down due to the Covid-19 crisis, the Telugu film industry did suffer a temporary setback.

NEW YORK -- Matt Damon believes his western Pennsylvania-made fracking film offers an important perspective on where society stands.
“We wanted to make a movie about American identity and kind of where we are right now, and this was the perfect issue because the stakes are so incredibly high,” Damon said on Tuesday night's “Late Show With David Letterman.”
Damon chatted at length about “Promised Land,” arriving in theaters nationally on Jan. 4, in which he plays a landman who convinces farmers to lease their land and relinquish drilling rights to natural gas companies using the environmentally controversial extraction method called fracking.
Filming took place in western Pennsylvania in the Apollo and Alle-Kiski areas of Armstrong County, and West Mifflin Middle School, with some of the local residents voicing displeasure about the film's premise.
“The first day we were shooting, a couple farmers showed up and said, 'Hey, you're doing something...you shouldn't say anything about fracking because we need this,'” Damon said. “The communities are really divided, and that's why it's kind of a great place to set a drama.”
Letterman replied, “Well, that's the razor's edge, because you can't deny people who are interested in improving their economic status.”
“Or hanging onto a way of life they might lose otherwise,” Damon added.
Letterman viewers saw a clip from the movie, where Damon's character talks about how his rural hometown was devastated by the closing of a nearby Caterpillar machinery and engine factory.
“The whole farming town fantasy was just shattered,” Damon's character tells a man seated with him in a restaurant, adding that he's not selling farmers natural gas, “I'm selling them the only way they have to get back.”
Letterman was excited by the clip, telling his audience, “You see what I mean, this is what you need to think about.”
Alluding perhaps to a scene from the movie, which he already watched to prepare for the interview, Letterman said, “And while it's quite dramatic that you can set fire to your tap water, the issues are more than that."
Co-starring and co-written by John Krasinski (NBC's “The Office”), whom Damon likened to a younger George Clooney in terms of acting depth, “Promised Land” is the first film Damon has co-written since “Good Will Hunting,” which earned a “best original screenplay” Academy Award for him and Ben Affleck. “Good Will Hunting” director Gus Van Zant also directed “Promised Land.”
To qualify for the upcoming Oscar awards, “Promised Land” is expected to be screened by year's end in a few select theaters, though not in Pittsburgh.
“Promised Land” already has support from Letterman, who said, “It's a wonderful film,” that in a timely and enjoyable manner shows what fracking “does economically and socially to communities all over the United States.”
Realizing that might not be the language to entice typical moviegoers, Damon joked, “And there are Transformers in it.”
He continued: “There's a huge battle at the end that you don't want to miss, because it's better than anything in 'The Hobbit.'”

Disney Tattoos. I guess most of us grew up watching Disney cartoons and movies. Disney has been making films even before we were born, most of these films are inspirational and great fantasies, probably why people love Disney cartoons so much, and up to this day, Disney films are still a hit.
For some people, Disney films have made such a great impact in their lives. A favorite character or quote may affect a person’s life and feelings, and others may just fall in love with the whole story.

A staple of teen romance films of recent years has to be the doomed love stories of terminally ill young people, but is there way to portray the extremity of this situation that is both empathetic and not drowning in cliché?
Australia director Shannon Murphy makes her directorial debut in Babyteeth, which charts the difficult journey of teen Milla (Eliza Scanlen) as she undergoes cancer treatment, supported by her struggling but devoted parents: concert pianist Anna (The Babadook's Essie Davis) and psychiatrist Henry (Captain Marvel's Ben Mendelsohn).
Despite a focus on being well and utilising her available time effectively, Milla doesn’t feel truly alive until she meets the drug-addicted and tattooed rebel Moses (Tobey Wallace), an older man who is far from the type her parents would like as you can imagine.
As her parents are wary of the older interloper, a sweet and slow-to-develop courtship takes place, that also prompts Milla’s own parents to face up to their own marital issues and their fears and anxieties about what they want for their daughter.

Little Women actress Scanlen is a revelation here in a powerful lead role that sees her show the vulnerability, naivety and perceptiveness of her character with great ease. The Australian actress is a real find and her star is surely destined to keep ascending in Hollywood if she can make you cry like she will here.
Meanwhile, Wallace also thrives as the magnetic delinquent that pulls Milla into his orbit, while Davis and Mendelsohn bring their veteran chops to the table in the table in gruelling and heart-wrenching scenes that display the reality of every person’s worst nightmare and how this bleeds into their marriage and other relationships.

With a style that is simultaneously both theatrical and lyrical, Murphy grounds the film in Milla’s experience but screenwriter Rita Kalnejais (based on her play of the same name) ensures that all of the central characters are fleshed out and the dynamics between them are as contradictory and messy as the situation Milla finds herself in.
Punctuated with moments of pop music, title cards, and thoughtful scenes of silence, the film contemplatively builds in emotion to a tear-jerking conclusion that will definitely have you reaching for a box of tissues.

Ultimately, Babyteeth is a naturally romantic and moving film that proves one of the strongest of terminally-ill teen romances to hit cinemas in years and one that proves Eliza Scanlen and Shannon Murphy are both talents to watch.
Babyteeth is a profoundly moving tale of a young girl making the most of the time she has with her parents and lover, with stunning performances from Eliza Scanlen, Essie Davis, and Ben Mendelsohn.
Babyteeth is released in cinemas on August 14, 2020.

IX. Spheres - The viable path by Christine Blass & Hans-Petter Bjørnådal (3:30 min.)
The movie is a reflection on the artwork of Hans-Petter Bjørnådal from Bjørnådal Arkitektstudio in which he uses the physical form of fish eggs as a symbol of future life to express a new vision of the world. The inspiration comes from an old meditation, where you imagine that you create a new future with new spheres.The essence of the message in this project is that a simple life, in harmony with nature, is still a viable path to discovering paradise.


Just wanted to share with everyone why I am not actively supporting the cause of a Xena movie. Before doing so, I would like to explain that I am not trying to be controversial or adversarial about it. I will try to be a respectful.
I have been a Xena fan right from the beginning. I was not a Hercules fan at the time, but I remember seeing the previews for it on TV before the show premiered. The first time I saw Lucy Lawless I was struck by how stunningly beautiful she is. I remember vividly when “Sins of the Past” premiered. It was a Friday evening @ 7 PM. I had a friend who was visiting me and as he was leaving my house the opening credits came on, and my friend said when Lucy Lawless’s name flashed on the screen, “That can’t possibly be her real name.” It sounded like a stage name for him or something, but his comment was funny.
Anyways, I watched the show over the years almost regularly. I kinda lost my way somewhere along the 5th season and didn’t watch the show as religiously as I once did. When I heard that the show was ending I tuned in to watch the two hour finale. Xena gets killed somehow during the first 3rd of the episode, and I thought, “oh no big deal. Xena has died before, and she’ll come back to life.” Then they attached the whole redemption thing to it, but then I thought, “It’s just something they have to figure out by the end of the episode. Yep, there goes loyal Gabrielle. She’ll do it for Xena.” But no, Xena stops her, and I was like “What??!!”
But I let it go, and filed away my disappoint me a bit later when the “A Friend In Need” director’s cut came out on DVD. If I am remembering correctly, AFIN was the first Xena DVD release before the season sets came out or at least one of the first besides the Hercules Xena episodes where the character is first introduced.
I remember reading the review for AFIN. May have been on IGN.com. In the review, the reviewer very effectively put into words the same feelings I had attached to the finale. First of all the setting did not feel right. It took place in Japan not a familiar setting for Xena. The episode did not feature any of the characters familiar to the show. It had no Ares, no Callisto, no Joxer, no Meg, no Eve, no Aphrodite, no anybody. All you had was Xena and Gabrielle. I realize some of those characters I mentioned were deceased by the finale, but I mention them to illustrate a point.
Finally the reviewer hit on the proverbial nail what I really felt about the episode. I felt manipulated. What plays out in front of our eyes in AFIN is that Xena is dead, it is final, and there is nothing that you, the fan, can do about it.
As I recall this is how they wanted to go out. Lucy Lawless was pretty stressed out and wanted to take a break. The creators of the show thought this was the way they wanted to end the show for whatever reason.
Over the years I remember the subject would come up over and over again at Xena conventions and other appearances that Lucy Lawless would make together with her husband about Robert Tapert about the possibility about them bringing back Xena for a movie. I am sure it got tiresome for them. I could never imagine being a celebrity being the asked the same thing over and over. I remembering reading one such appearance Bob and Lucy made that it seemed like they got irritated being asked again. Up to then they would give the same answer and said something like they way the show ended was the way they wanted it to end, and that was that.
Then suddenly they had a change of heart. Sometime in 2008 I think it was, Tapert was asked about a Xena movie, and then the next year at the Xena convention during a Q & A session Robert said that they were interested in doing a movie. They are having difficulty with obtaining the rights, and they could not think of a way to bring Xena back. I remember sitting with the con goers, “Aha! so you want to bring the show back, but because of the way the show ended, you can’t figure out a way to bring Xena back?” They have in essence created a sort of Chinese finger cuffs for themselves that they can’t think themselves out of.
Fans have figured out clever ways to bring back Xena in their fanfics especially in the Subtext and Shipper seasons, but in the case of the Shipper Seasons, Ares plays a big part, and you can’t have that because of the untimely death of Kevin Smith. You could recast Ares, but I don’t think you can recapture the chemistry Lawless had with Smith. It’s like Heath Ledger’s death. You can bring back the Joker for the next Batman movie but can that other actor recreate what Ledger did?
So let’s say they did find a way to bring Xena back, would that really work for the big screen? Typically when a franchise hits the big screen, like Star Trek for instance, for it to be successful, they have to bring in a new audience. That means you have to write a movie that stands alone, and a Xena movie cannot be that, because you have rehash how Xena died, and explain how you are going to bring her back. Only way I think this may work is a TV movie or mini series. That gives you the chance to explain things more effectively than you can a feature film. Production will be lower than a feature film, and if they were pursue a TV movie, please do not let that god awful Syfy network anywhere near it.
But I don’t think that’s going to happen. Fans want a feature film, and are pushing hard for it. There are cases where the fandom is the driving force to reviving a franchise. Take Star Trek for instance, it was because of the fans who wrote NBC to bring back the show for a 3rd season, and after the show, it was because of fan support that they were able to have a movie made 10 years after the show was cancelled.
I can see a movie being made for Xena, but I think somebody else is going to secure the rights for it not Tapert and company. It’s going to be made by somebody not familiar with the show, and going to be cast with younger actors. We’re going to be stuck with a re-imagination or reboot. They may give Lucy and Renee cameos to appease us older fans of the show, but I can almost guarantee that everyone else will be re-cast. So as they say, be careful for what you wish for…

The last couple of weeks have been a bit quiet in house Prufrock due to a bug I picked up somewhere. I tend not to get sick very often, but when I do, I do it properly.
The evenings therefore have found me either sleeping or doing some kind of non-thinking activity, such as watching the TV. Actually, being in Japan, I don't watch the TV (it's almost as bad as New Zealand TV), but instead watch a DVD or look at YouTube. Recently, Ken Burns's Civil War series has been my poison.
My first introduction to the series was about ten or twelve years ago. A friend who uses the internet 'creatively' had downloaded the series from somewhere free of charge, burnt the episodes onto disk and loaned them to me.
"What's that?" someone asked him as he handed them over one night at soccer.
"Oh," he said, "it's about the American Civil War."
"Why would YOU want to watch that?"
"Well, it was you Americans fighting each other. Why shouldn't we like it?"
And he was right on both counts. It was Americans fighting each other, and it was a series that even people who have no particular reason for interest in the war could find value in.
The Ken Burns documentary style, mixing period photographs, voice overs, actors reading quotes from historical figures, footage of places, and interviews with authorities, is compelling viewing. The themed structure and the variety of voices from both sides gives a sense of fairness in the telling. I may be wrong about the fairness, but it's how it seems to me when I watch it.
You are shown the movement of the war, you follow the characters chosen, hear their voices, and invest in them emotionally. It is by turns humorous, sad, uplifting and harrowing. It is always informative, humane and respectful.
Anyway, last night I was watching the ninth and last episode of the series and had been drawn into it again. You know it is coming, and you have been prepared for it with artful foreshadowing during the past few episodes, but goodness, the death of Abraham Lincoln is always hard to take.
Perhaps the greatest thing about the series is that in watching it you become a bit American too. You see the grandeur of the country and its people. You see the capacity for suffering and sacrifice. You see that we all, no matter who we are or where we are from, are invested in that last best hope and willing it still to come into the fullness of its promise.
And with that written, if you can forgive me, I must excuse myself...


I took a trip to the cinema with my sister last night to see The Neon Demon, Nicholas Winding Refn’s latest offering, centred around the competitive modelling business in LA. To emphasise to the viewers just how cutthroat the industry really is, the film opens with a shot of the beautiful protagonist Jessie -Elle Fanning- reclining on a chaise lounge, covered in blood, with her throat slit (very clever imagery). The first two thirds are visually appealing, yet remain rather dull. There is little attention paid to any narrative or character development, and the impressive colour and light show, coupled with an powerful soundtrack, seem to act as a lengthy exercise in brainwashing one into thinking Elle Fanning is the most beautiful girl on the planet. Let me add that I don’t have a problem with that idea, it just isn’t interesting enough to hold my attention for however long we are forced to endure close up shots of her admiring herself in mirrors.
However my real (and perhaps slightly strange) frustration with this film stems from its latter third, housing a violent climax in which two beautiful, yet ruthless ‘ageing’ models and a makeup artist, push our pretty protagonist into an empty swimming pool before proceeding to eat her flesh and bathe in her blood. What a bloody twist! These women are cannibals! They literally eat this girl because she poses a threat to their careers! Why is this allocated such a short amount of screen time?! I am all for allusions to sinister plot elements, but these models- who don’t eat anything- literally ate a person and we are expected to leave the theatre feeling satisfied having parted with our hard earned cash. Thankfully there was a promotion on at the Odeon and we only paid £4 for our tickets, but still I remain unimpressed. I have sat through countless films about muscular werewolves and sparkling vampires and nerdy outcasts with superhuman strength, and I can’t even get one decent offering about models who consume the flesh of their competition. I suppose that cannibalism just isn’t as sexy as vampirism because at the heart of this issue, it is really, really, really weird. I also concede this wasn’t the point of the film, and it was attempting to articulate a wider comment on beauty or youth or whatever, blah blah blah. Despite this, The Neon Demon is one of the coolest premises for any film I have heard in a while, and I was really disappointed that more people weren’t eaten over the course of its two hour running time. I personally am volunteering to remake this film, and I now throw my hat into the ring. I give this movie a solid three stars, but if Hollywood gives me a chance I know I could take it to a four and a half, if not five star affair.

Whirling Gorilla Is Just What You Need To Improve Your Mood
It's Zola the gorilla having a blast in a kiddie pool at the Dallas Zoo. Looks like he's breakdancing.
I'm showing you the one without sound effects, but it's also fun to watch the other one in which Zola is choregraphed to the song "Maniac" from the movie "Flashdance."
For the purests, like me, here's the version without a soundtrack.


Outside of daytime television, it’s rare for the same troupe of actors to get to work together over the span of decades. So Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly knows how special it is that she’s gotten to do just that on Cédric Klapisch’s Spanish Apartment series of movies.
As Reilly put it on Instagram, “Twenty years ago, I got to work on a film called L’auberge Espagnole. Five years later, we all returned for Les Poupées Russes. Ten years ago, for Casse-tête Chinois.
“Last year,” she continued, “we came back for Salad Grecque just out on Amazon prime.”
Reilly couldn’t believe her good fortune. “How wonderful to work with you, Cédric, over all these years,” she exclaimed. “And to the actors I have been getting older with — what a total joy it’s been!”
The first three film’s focused on the romantic entanglements of Reilly’s Wendy, Amélie star Audrey Tatou’s Martine and Romain Duris’ Xavier. The latest installment passes the baton to the next generation. “Now we hand it over to the kids,” cheered Reilly, adding, “They are luminous.”
Currently, Yellowstone fans are awaiting word on when Season 5 of the Paramount Network hit will resume. (More on that here.) The midseason finale left Reilly’s Beth conspiring with dad John (Kevin Costner) to have brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) killed. At the same time, Jamie was plotting with lover Sarah (Dawn Olivieri) to have John and Beth offed!
At the same time, rumors are swirling that the current season of Yellowstone will be its last. Already, another offshoot of the franchise has been announced, this one with Matthew McConaughey in the lead. (Details here.)


So I (Nastassja) am a huge movie buff - I am particularly obsessed with speculative fiction. Toni Cade Bambara said the purpose of a writer, or storyteller, "is to make revolution irresistible" and the stories told in speculative fiction often do that by highlighting the potential of the future. The potential isn't always good - more often than not these stories highlight futures to watch out for, and tell the stories of visionaries and leaders trying to right the wrongs of a system meant to erase or squander the beauty and potential of humanity. They often speak to our fears, and mirror or reverse major events from history - whether it is a fear of robotization that highlights our existential fear of limitation & our humanity in a capitalist and production oriented world; or a fear of some foreign species coming out of nowhere, colonizing our lands, committing genocide, and trying to enslave us...hmmm sound familiar?
Lea Roth and I (partners, storytellers, and founders of Spring Up) open up our TEDxNYU talk with a dramatic poem made up of quotes from science fiction trailers about dystopian & apocalyptic futures. The research and preparation to make that poem was really fun and entertaining so we decided to make a post with most (not all) of the trailers we combed to find these great quotes. Can you tell which lines came from which trailers? Let us know your answers / guesses in the comments below. I've sorted the video's into different types of horrible apocalyptic disturbances like Robots, Global Warming, Zombies, Aliens, etc. I thought it would be a good resource to find out some cool movies, or just trailers, to check out for any movie buffs or just folx who are trying to figure out what to watch next!
Here is our TEDx talk called "The Millennial Mindset Can Save the World" as a reference.
These are some of my favorite trailers and movies - some are visionary fiction that cause us to reflect on the way we treat others and what we should value within humanity, and others are just plain entertaining.
P.S. I give a brief explanation of each movie here but if you want to just watch the trailers straight through most of them are on our youtube playlist here.
Ex Machina: This film is cray in a very white techy male fears power femme "does she actually care about me or is she just manipulating me to escape imprisonment and torture" kind of way. It definitely links to this issue of like, why do these inventors always use the robots they make for sex? It definitely toys with your emotions, but I think its a really good conversation starter. Plus this trailer has some really great moments.
Terminator: there are like 5 Terminator movies, so I included the most recent trailer. In the first few movies its so obvious that Arnold is the good/bad guy and the girl he is trying to save is basically oblivious (+ its not really about her anywayz its about saving her unborn son...) but the newest one she looks like a badass so I am optimistic. This is a total classic tho and defo worth it for any scifi fan.
The Matrix: this is also a series / trilogy, so I included the last film trailer that focuses more on the robot world. This is a total masterpiece. Like there have been dissertations written about the depths of this series. I personally make references to it regularly. FYI tho a black woman, Sophia Stewart, claims that the Wachowski sisters (the directors) actually ripped off this idea from her book from the 1980s - you can look into it and decide for yourself (she says the above terminator ripped off her story too).
IRobot: So you will see that Will Smith is a recurring figure in the dystopian future - maybe the only black person other than Samuel L Jackson who consistently seems to survive lol. This movie is ... a lot. Honestly I went to see it in theaters with my friend and she fell asleep. I still think its worth a watch - and this trailer definitely is.
RoboCop: the original is a classic, but the trailer for the 2014 remake has Samuel L Jackson and some great quotes. This definitely can cause some anxieties about the future of militarized police, and explores the line between man and machine (like all of these). I haven't actually seen this movie but I'm pretty sure I've seen the trailer like 5 times.
Climate Change & Water / Food Shortages
Mad Max: Fury Road. So people seem to love this movie. The visual effects are AWESOME, and in my opinion totally show up for being based on a graphic novel. It has some pretty feminist themes but I found the story line a bit difficult to follow / slow / not all that much there. Still totally worth the watch, I mean I love absurdist end of the world kind of crazy stuff so I reallllly wanted to love this - you check it out and let me know what you think. It is making some clear references to climate change and water / gas scarcity in the future though.
Interstellar: This movie is MIND-BLOWING! It plays with time in a super innovative way, and honestly blew me away. I think its not super identity conscious, and the idea that we are just leaving the earth behind to colonize the stars kind of rubs me the wrong way but idk I like it when Lauren Olamina says it so...
The Day After Tomorrow: This movie is literally the most. Like I remember seeing it in theaters and being like WTF is this what global warming is gonna be like! Would it really all happen overnight? They successfully convey the urgency that we don't want to wait until it's too late. Its a total classic, and the scenes in the library really stick with you / make you think where would be your safe haven?
San Andreas: So I haven't actually seen this film but from what I gather... its mostly like this trailer. It explores the idea of the tectonic plates shifting and causing even bigger earthquakes in California... and then the rest of the USA or world? Thank goodness Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson is there to save as many people as possible though - what would we do without him?!
Wall-E: FAV. like literally if you haven't seen it you have to. It is so well done and thought provoking - I wasn't sure if I should include it in this section but it takes place after the Earth is no longer inhabitable so I decided to put it here. It manages to say so much without having all that many words and being a kids movie. My favorite line is pretty far in when one of the humans says "I don't want to survive, I want to live!" - it's totally a moment about humanism and value to life that is super moving.
Children of Men: ok actually I lied... this is my FAV. If you haven't seen it, close this - no scratch that don't close this you can come back to it after - but open another tab and find this movie and watch it right now. It is SOOOO good. That is all. Go watch now.
Gattaca: Ok so total classic, also a must see. This movie explores self-determination and accessibility and the idea of designer babies. Uma Thurman is great, Jude Law before his hairline started receding so much, a space mission to Mars. Super worth it.
Handmaid's Tale: OK I know its a TV show not a movie but I HAD to. There are a lot of mixed feelings about how the tv show handles race / moves away from the book later in the season, but it was done in partnership with Margaret Atwood and I think is completely worth watching and then having those conversations about race.
Arrival: so don't kill me but I haven't seen Arrival yet! It looks great and I really want to see it, but I just haven't gotten a chance yet. Let me know what you think though! Yay Amy Adams.
District 9: MUST SEE. Like for real... this movie was on a shockingly low budget for the quality of the effects, it is brilliantly written and directed. Its a bit difficult to watch but ultimately completely worth it. This would definitely be on my top 3 or 5 speculative fiction movies so if you haven't seen it you totally have to.
Avatar: Avatar is basically a beautiful outer space rendition of Pocahontas. Its about space colonization (No I don't mean that in a good way) - this white dude becomes the savior of this indigenous community in a gorgeous land that he was brought to colonize. That said, I think the effects are literally out of this world, like super good, and I think its worth the watch. I know I wanted to go to Pandora (and now we can since Disney opened up the Pandora park).
Alien: Like Terminator, this is a series that started a long time ago and has a new one coming out soon so I included the new trailer. This series is SO INTENSE. It seriously fucks with you - so if you like that go for it, if not - be prepared.
Independence Day: the first movie came out in 1996 and a new one came out in 2016, but I decided to include the original, so enjoy this classic trailer! This is another Will Smith moment, the film is kind of kitchy and funny and the trailer does a great job of capturing the tone.... or maybe its just from the 90s?
World War Z: ok I also haven't actually seen this one. I'm not super into zombies - sorry! but I have heard pretty good things about it & the trailer is pretty sick.
28 Days Later: This is a classic - the creators have made some other awesome trippy movies. Its pretty low budget and avant garde but a really good reference. Also I think relatively realistic of what it would be like if shit hit the fan and everyone really became zombies like a terrible epidemic.
Equilibrium: this movie is totally underrated but awesome. It has Taye Diggs.. the concept is awesome. I'm hoping it will have a come back / moment some time soon.
Planet of the Apes: This is another epic movie series, because there is the oldie original and then a contemporary trilogy. This one - Rise of the Planet of the Apes is my favorite. It really explores some complex ideas about intelligence, scientific research, and self-determinism.
The Giver: so I LOVED this book - did you know it is actually a whole series of books? I think they did a good job with the movie (+ there is Meryl Streep).
Minority Report: They made a TV show of Minority Report recently but I haven't seen it. The movie is a total classic and I think is you know, like any Tom Cruise vs world movie, but in the future and with some really interesting concepts like the precogs and fate / destiny.
Misc. / Bonus
In Time: so despite a terrible rating on RottonTomatoes, I think this movie is hilarious and awesome. It's a really interesting frame on capitalism with the idea that time is the currency. I mean it is totally scientifically coming from nowhere so a lot of people dislike it, but I genuinely enjoyed it.
The Hunger Games: I had to include it!! This trilogy is epic and Katniss Everdeen is a badass. This is the trailer for the first film - they are pretty easy to watch and pretty seamless with each other so I would suggest watching them back to back if you have the time / energy. It is kind of a less gory / scary Battle Royale that explores the idea of gladiatorial battles for entertainment / a social scapegoating mechanism and has a really interesting social stratification. The costumes & make ups are awesome.
Enders Game: ok one more young adult book adaptation. This one is about video games and is still a great watch if you haven't read the books.
Black Panther -- I couldn't make a list of trailers right now without including it!!! If you haven't sen this trailer WATCH IT NOW! the movie doesn't come out for another year, boo :( but the trailer is awesome for sooo many reasons. I mean the poster of the movie is a reference to Huey Newton of the Black Panthers, allllll the black actors showed up for it, and its a gorgeous take on afrofuturism.
CONGRATS on making it to the end!!!

The French Connection is a simple mixed drink requiring no flashy bartending skills so of course it’s right up our alley. The simple pairing of cognac and amaretto makes for a stunning after dinner drink or nightcap.
The 1971 movie French Connection, starring Gene Hackman, had one of the greatest car chases in movie history and was the first R-rated Academy Award winner for best picture. The French Connection definitely deserves to have a hip drink named after it.
- 30ml cognac
- 30ml amaretto liqueur


The live-action series not so much. Revolutionary Girl Utena is probably the most feminist anime in existence. It explores the classical fairytale motifs of the Heroic Prince that rescues a princess, the contrast of the innocent Princess and the mature Witch, and turns them completely on its head.
Surely everyone will enjoy it as much as he — wait Why are the critics hammering the hell out of it? Well, it turns out the vast majority of the viewers disagree with Bob about what makes a happy ending.
Sometimes this is just a result of changing values. When the ending comes with a half-baked "moral" attached, see Glurge.
The afterlife version of the trope would be a Hell of a Heavenor an Infernal Paradise. Not to be confused with a Bittersweet Endingin which the darker or less pleasant elements are acknowledged, although it can also frequently be caused when those same darker elements out-weigh the pleasant ones in the minds of some viewers.
As an Ending Trope there will be unmarked spoilers! Anime and Manga The director claims that the ending of 5 Centimeters per Second is supposed to be uplifting, because Takaki smiles as he walks away in the last scene, indicating that he has moved on.
The entire series was taking place in the minds of the unborn babies in a maternity ward. The babies are all born safely, but they grow up knowing nothing about anything that occurred in the series. A scene at the very end shows Mashiro and Sou running into each other and having no idea who the other is, pointlessly teasing readers about possibilities that will never be.
The trope qualifies at least for Slaine. At the end of the show, he is left to rot in prison after being accused of plotting to kill Princess Asseylum by Princess Asseylum herself. In reality, all this time he attempted to protect Asseylum, who only incarcerated him out of political necessity. The writers said his ending is supposed to be a happy one because he is no longer obligated to serve Asseylum.
Ironically, his original fate was scrapped for being even more depressing; but even his haters thought the revised ending was still too harsh.
The anime adaptation ends with Nomura beating Amou, who gets expelled from Aichi Academy for causing trouble, but still manages to make peace with her.
Not to mention, getting out of the effective captivity the school had forced her into was her entire reason for going on such a rampage in the first place. Nobody, except Crea, knows about this. The love triangle also seems to end on a rather troublesome note: At the end of the Area 88 manga, Soria, Rishar, and King Zak are left to transition Asran from a monarchy to a modern republic.
Finally, the whole mess has been inherited by a conservative monarch, a Wide-Eyed Idealistand an amnesiac who spent the previous two decades in cryogenic suspension.
Also at the end of the manga, Ryoko reunites with Shin. Shin suffers from amnesia due to head trauma and does not remember his time at Area In short, Ryoko has chosen to marry a traumatized, amnesiac jerk, raising questions about what their life together will be life.
The ending of Arisa is played as fully happy, with Tsubasa reconciling with Arisa and their mother and Arisa finding true love with Midori.
Subverted in Birdy the Mighty: At the end of season 1, the Roppongi area of Tokyo gets completely trashed by a combination of the ryunka and the sanctum sanctorum Killsat used to attack it. However, season 2 is mostly about how these events affected people, including the survivors.
Bleach in the manga, ends Happily Ever After with ten years of peace after the war with Yhwach.'Romeo and Juliet' by William Shakespeare, is a play about two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction from the beginning because of the hatred between the two families, Montagues and Capulets.

These two young people had done nothing wrong, unless it is wrong to fall in love with a person whose family is feuding with one’s own.

LeBron James is Producing a Sitcom Set in North Philly
LeBron James is co-producing
Tyler’s Perry’s newest venture a Starzzzzz show about two guys who from the hood who made it:
Now James plans to explore that theme as part of “Survivor’s Remorse,” a new show he’s developing with Starz. While he won’t star in the half-hour sitcom, he’ll be one of the executive producers of the show, which will explore the lives of two men from the streets who attain fame — one is an NBA star and one is not — and how they deal with friends and families in the wake of that success.
James is developing the show with his longtime friend and business partner, Maverick Carter; Tom Werner, the producer behind classic shows like “Roseanne” and “The Cosby Show”; and actor Mike O’Malley, who will be an executive producer and is the show’s writer. Paul Wachter will also be an executive producer.
The show is based in North Philadelphia instead of Akron, Ohio, where the two are from: “More people can relate to it,” explained Carter of Philadelphia.
An Eagles spokesperson tells CB exclusively that Riley Cooper is looking forward to this show.
