First off, I used to think the Sci-Fi channel was as they say "all that" but I gotta tell ya that it's been years, many years since I have seen a decent worthwhile movie on that channel. Frankly I call it the "hokey channel" because everything is so stupid it's ridiculous. I think they should have to air a warning before the movie airs, something lik:
"Warning! Really shitty movie ahead, if you watch it then you're just as much a moron as the people who starred in it, produced, directed and financed it"
Yeah Sci-Fi is supposed to be somewhat on the unbelievable side but the SF channel goes to the extreme. It's not just unbelievable, it's unbelievably stupid. It's worse than the strings that kept the starship enterprise floating in the old Star Trek series.
Last night there was just nothing on television and so I was forced to watch a movie on Sci-Fi called "The Black Hole". No it wasn't the awesome blockbuster from the 80's, it was a new 2006 movie with Judd Nelson and Kristy Swanson. Ok those two names should have done it for me but I thought "hey maybe Judd might be pretty good?" I was so wrong!
Now in all honesty, no one physically forced me to watch this, but you know how you just can't turn your head away from a train wreck? Well that's the same feeling I had with this movie. It sucked but I couldn't turn away.
The premise was that some nuclear experiment in some lab in St. Louis created a black hole and there was this electrical "entity" that had something to do with it. They had to get rid of the entity to get rid of the black hole that was swallowing the midwest, starting with St. Louis. Yeah it was more complicated than that, and Judd's character explained it in the movie but I couldn't follow. I mean there's just something wrong with the Breakfast Club's Judd Nelson explaining tears in the time space fabric. If they thought giving him wild hair, nerdy glasses and facial hair made him look like a nuclear scientist they were sadly mistaken.
The movie was "B" at best ("B" meaning BAD) until that moment they brought the military people into it. Then it just got worse.
What was the military's solution to this black hole?
Drop a nuclear bomb into it.
Yeah no surprise there.
And then as if it couldn't get worse, this team of special forces was sent to this sub station to try and trap the entity (who was attracted to high amounts of electricity) in this magnetic coil box so they could send it back through the tear in the time space fabric. These special forces armed themselves with automatic weapons (I know I know I was laughing too) and they were acting as if they were doing military maneuvers, rolling on the ground, hiding behind buildings with their little auto weapons peeking out. They even tried shooting at it. And the whole time I'm like "uh HELLO WTF are you shooting at?" cause there's nothing THERE!!!
As usual in the end, the star/hero saved the world and all was well. And as usual I beat my head against the wall for being sucked into another really shitty Sci-Fi movie.
But it made my morning today when I got an email from dad bitching about the guys with the automatic weapons too. That was the best part of all this because it just goes to show that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.


The first look of forthcoming Bollywood film “Half Girlfriend” is revealed. The shooting of the film was started on 7 June 2016. Arjun Kapoor who is playing leading role in the film shared his picture from the set of movie. He is playing basketball in the picture.
“Half Girlfriend” the upcoming Bollywood film directed by Mohit Suri. The film is written by Tushar Hiranandani. It stars Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in leading male and female roles. The film is produced by Mohit Suri the director himself, Chetan Bhagat, Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Chetan Bhagat. He is also co-producer of the film. Rishi Rich Ami Mishra has composed the music of the film.The film is scheduled for release on 28 April 2017.
Arjun will play the role of Madhav Jha and Shraddha Kapoor will play the role of Riya Somani in the film. Both the stars will be seen together for first time on screen. Arjun Kapoor’s previous release “Ki and Ka” was super hit. He was seen opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan in the film. And Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in the film “Baaghi” with Tiger Shroff. It was also a super hit film.
Let’s see both will rock the silver screen together or not.


The plot is somewhat predictable, but it's what you do with it along the way that counts. Keyes did a lot. Unfortunately, the film version (renamed Charly) doesn't do much beyond the obvious. As Charly gains intelligence, we're supposed to see the world develop through his eyes, but mostly we just see him studying and having boring conversations with love interest Claire Bloom. Robertson won an Oscar for the role, but his portrayal of the mentally disabled Charly seems crude by today's standards and inconsistent in tone - at times he's suspiciously aware, other times unrealistically slow. Robertson does better with Charly the genius, but this part of the film doesn't last that long and feels like an Outer Limits episode, with Robertson talking about the dehumanizing future and walking around in a lab coat narrating silly "scientific" dialogue.
The main problem with this film is that it was made in 1968. The love scenes - montages of Bloom chasing him around the park, close-ups of oak leaves, and the couple driving in a roadster - are absurdly trite. There's also a really stupid psychedelic cutaway sequence with Charly crashing a Harley and smoking pot with goateed, Nehru-jacketed hippies which was dated by 1969. (And by the way, the soundtrack by Ravi Shankar doesn't sound very Indian, and it isn't very good.)
Then comes the end of Charly's arc, when he learns that the effects of the operation are temporary. Here the movie achieves real pathos in a series of moving scenes. In particular, Bloom's portrayal of the loyal Alice (who asks him to marry her, knowing that he has only a short time left as an emotional adult) rescues the film from mediocrity and gives poignancy to the bleak ending.
It might have been better if this film had been made in the seventies, since the first part of the story would have benefited from a more modern and realistic approach. On the flipside, in the wrong hands the ending could have easily been more manipulative. As it stands, Charly/Algernon is another example of a memorable book which ends up diluted by the lesser talents of screenwriters.

Jonathan Groff and the American Dream
ABOVE: JONATHAN GROFF (LEFT) AND DENIS O’HARE IN C.O.G. PHOTO COURTESY OF SCREEN MEDIA FILMS.
Picking apples, Jonathan Groff assures us, is harder than it looks. “It’s dirty, hard, manual labor,” he laughs over the phone. In Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s C.O.G., Groff plays David, a young, fairly insufferable Yale grad who decides to throw himself into the American working class: first as an apple picker, then at an apple factory. Needless to say, the experience doesn’t quite live up to David’s Steinbeck fantasy, nor do the oddball characters (played by Corey Stoll and Denis O’Hare) he meets along the way.
A veteran theater actor—Groff famously starred in the original cast of Spring Awakening opposite his future Glee castmate Lea Michele—C.O.G. is Groff’s first leading film role. It is also the first adaptation of one of David Sedaris’ short stories. “It’s one of his more obscure stories,” explains Groff. “It’s one of the only stories where none of his family members are in it.”
EMMA BROWN: I like that your character only sits in the aisle seats of the bus.
JONATHAN GROFF: [laughs] That’s not true! That’s so not true.
BROWN: It is.
GROFF: In the opening scene, my head is against the window.
BROWN: But from then on, he only sits in the aisle seats. Even when there’s no one next to him.
GROFF: He just likes the aisle. But there’s a whole other scene where I’m trying to fall asleep on the window and trying to fall down, and then there’s the scene where I’m trying to drink NyQuil and I’m sitting in the very back of the bus.
BROWN: Yeah, but when you’re sitting in the very back seat of the bus, you are not sitting next to the window. There is a seat between you and the window.
GROFF: That’s true… Emma, you better watch it again, I’m not an aisle-seater.
BROWN: [laughs] Were you a fan of David Sedaris before you got the part?
GROFF: I read Naked (1997) before and I had seen him do some on David Letterman, when he would come out and read his stories. I wasn’t a superfan, I didn’t have all the books, but I was sort of a general fan of him and his writing. I think he’s so hilarious. When I first was sent the script I read it and called my agent immediately and said, “I think this looks really interesting, and it’s going to be a great movie, but I’m not going to be in it.” I just kept seeing David Sedaris in the role, and I thought, I don’t talk like him, I don’t look like him—I’m not him. And then the director [Kyle Patrick Alvarez] contacted my agent and said that’s the whole point, we want to make this a David Sedaris movie, but we don’t want it to be a direct impression of him. We want to tell the story with an actor that is playing a part as opposed to being David Sedaris.
BROWN: Did you feel closer to David Sedaris by the end of the film?
GROFF: I did not. I could hear his voice in my head as I was preparing, and I was tempted to go online and watch him give performances, but then I just kept myself from doing it. Kyle really wanted to make a movie that could stand on its own that, even if you weren’t a fan of David Sedaris, you could watch it and you could appreciate it as an independent film. So I thought, Okay, let me just approach this character as a brand-new character. Maybe subconsciously have a little David Sedaris in the back of my head as I’m doing it, but really focus on this character as written in the story and try and create him based on the people I liked working with, the sort of environment we were in, and the material we liked working with.
That was my first experience being on set every single day. I’d never had that before. I’d had a couple of movies and TV shows where I’d come in and work for a couple of days and then have a day or two off. That was really awesome and sort of broke me down as an actor; it changed the way I approach film and television work. It was really an amazing experience.
BROWN: Did you ever have moments where you thought, “No, not again, I don’t want to go to work”?
GROFF: No, quite the opposite actually. I think because there’s so much downtime as actors when you’re not working, and there’s nothing happening, so I really seized the opportunity to be there all day every day. It’s honestly what I always dreamt of. And I come from a world of theater originally where you do something eight times a week. I did Spring Awakening on Broadway for about three years, and I did over 500 performances. When you get to really involve yourself with a piece and the other people and you get to feel like it’s a community and you’re all building something together, it helps me to produce better work, I think. And there’s an exhaustion that happens on a film set—an exhaustion that translates into a relaxation and helps me to live in the moment, in the performance I’m giving and what’s happening around me.
BROWN: When you finish such an intense role, does it take a couple of weeks for the character’s thoughts to get out of your system?
GROFF: I sort of have the belief that you work it out while you’re working on it, or that’s been my experience so far. I throw myself into it 100% and try to live in that world, and then when it’s over, just sort of be able to leave it behind. Maybe someday I’ll have a job where it haunts me or it’s hard to move on.
BROWN: What do you think your character hopes to get out of his journey and time among the “working class”?
GROFF: At the end of the day, the end of the movie is sort of ambiguous—it’s whatever you want it to be. Normally the story goes small-town kid goes to the big city and gets his ass kicked, but this time it’s kind of the reverse: well-educated, well-off young man shows up in a small town, and I think they really throw him for a loop. And I think hopefully humble him.
It’s a weird combo because on one hand he’s incredibly naïve, and on the other hand he’s incredibly jaded. He feels like he’s got it all figured out, so there’s unlikeable, know-it-all asshole aspect to him when he starts out. As an audience member, we think he’s naive, but I don’t think he thinks that he’s naive in any way—he thinks he knows exactly what he’s doing. David Sedaris came to Sundance, he was there when we premiered the film, and one of the first things he said after was something along the lines of, “I can’t believe I was such an asshole.”
GROFF: “It was such a reminder of what an asshole I was.” I can relate to it from when I first moved to New York when I was 19—I didn’t go to college, but I moved to New York pretty much right after high school and was like “I got this,” such confidence in youth. And then you have experiences and then reality kicks in and it ends up being sort of different.
BROWN: It must have been very nerve-wracking having David Sedaris watching you play a version of David Sedaris.
GROFF: Oh my gosh, the whole experience of Sundance was incredible. I had never really been there before, and I was so proud and excited and it was a wonderful time. Doing the press was fun, and I’m obsessed with the director Kyle Michael Alvarez and the other members of the cast. But the experience of watching the movie, knowing David Sedaris was one row away, was horrifying. I was almost having a panic attack in the audience, it was so painful. You want him to like it, and you want everybody to like it. In a play, you can adjust your performance to audience reaction, but in a film it’s like you’re trapped in a bad dream watching yourself act and you’re in the audience. It was a very stressful situation. But I made it through and I felt proud of it at the end of the day.
BROWN: Did you have someone check that David Sedaris liked the film before you went up to him afterward the premiere so that you could run and hide if he didn’t?
GROFF: No, it was a weird thing because the movie ended, and everyone was brought onstage for a Q & A. So before I could talk to him, it was like, “Everyone come up here!” So we all walked to the front of the theater and he told the audience what he thought of the movie before any of us had talked to him personally. It was really bizarre. But he was really sweet and supportive and great. I gained even more respect for him, if that’s possible, after that experience. He let Kyle develop the movie and he really had nothing to do with it. I mean occasionally we would send him a picture and he would ask how it was going, but he was not onset or anything; it was completely Kyle’s creation. So he didn’t have to show up to Sundance and take pictures and do interviews and see the movie, and it was all out of the kindness of his heart. And not only did he show up but he was incredibly generous and easy to talk to and really funny—he was obsessed with talking to my mom. She’s a teacher from Pennsylvania, so I think he got a kick out of her.
BROWN: I want to talk more about David’s naïveté. In the scene at the house of Curley, Corey Stoll’s character, Curley says, “I have a surprise for you, it’s in my bedroom.” You’d think that someone who comes from Connecticut or New York wouldn’t go into a stranger’s bedroom when they say they have a surprise for you…
GROFF: [laughs] We rewrote that scene as we were shooting it—the scene with Curley. Not the dildo scene, but the scene right before that. There was sort of a chemistry between Corey Stoll and I, and we were talking about that—why would somebody go into their back room if this person was weird? If this person seems crazy, if this person seemed unsafe? It was hard to imagine why David would go back there with him, so we rewrote that scene before to be a little more flirtatious and be a little more sexy, and I think that David thinks that the surprise is going to be, you know, it could be him with his pants down, it could be suddenly he’s totally naked, it could be a million different things, I think, a lot more innocent than a giant room full of dildos.
BROWN: Yeah. That’s quite frightening for anyone.
GROFF: [laughs] Frightening it is. I took so many pictures of them, and lots of pictures of me and Corey posing next to the dildos, because we thought they were so hilarious.
BROWN: Corey’s really having a moment—he’s so great in House of Cards, but that hadn’t come out when you were filming. Did you know anything about him?
GROFF: I had seen him in Midnight in Paris, and we’re both sort of from the New York theater community, so I had known of him but I had never worked with him before. I think he’s such a wonderful actor, and my love and adoration for him deepened once we got to work together on set. He’s just really fun and someone you want to be in the trenches with. Shooting an independent film, and one that’s very low-budget, there were no trailers but there was one sort of half trailer, and we all had to be in it together. It’s like guerilla film. We’ve stayed friends since making the movie and we had a really, really good time together.
BROWN: Denis O’Hare is also a big presence in the New York theater world.
GROFF: Yeah, Denis O’Hare, man. I’ve seen him onstage so many times in New York. We’d done a day on The Good Wife together—he recurs as a judge on The Good Wife—and I met him doing that, and there’s such reverence for him on set. He’s such a living legend in New York. During the first week of shooting, we had started shooting already and his role still wasn’t cast. Kyle started to cry when he found out that Denis O’Hare was going to do it, because he’s just like the ultimate person. We were so excited that he was going to do it. Denis is maybe the best actor I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never had an experience with anyone on set like I have with him. He does something different on every take. Kyle had to pick from a million different versions of John, the character that Denis plays. Also—I feel like I’m a broken record—a great guy. I just want to be Denis when I grow up, as a person and a performer.
BROWN: What was the best advice he gave you?
GROFF: One of the great things he’s said that I’ve taken with me is, in theater, you’re in charge of your performance, and at the end of the day you’re the one who gets credit because you’re in front of the audience doing it, and in film and TV it’s the director who gets to decide when to cut to you on a line, which take he uses. Denis was just so free on set doing so many different things. And I said, “Don’t you want to control what you’re putting out there?” And he said, “Well, Jonathan, we really have no control. So it’s better just to follow your impulses and give them a bunch of choices and sort of let the director take you there.”
C.O.G. OPENS IN LIMITED RELEASE TOMORROW, SEPTEMBER 20.


A shy student trying to reach his family in Ohio, a gun-toting tough guy trying to find the last Twinkie, and a pair of sisters trying to get to an amusement park join forces to travel across a zombie-filled America.
Following Kick-Ass' heroics, other citizens are inspired to become masked crusaders. But Red Mist leads his own group of evil supervillains to get revenge, kill Kick-Ass and destroy everything he stands for.
Chloë Grace Moretz,
Shaun (Simon Pegg) doesn't have a very good day, so he decides to turn his life around by getting his ex to take him back, but he times it for right in the middle of what may be a zombie apocalypse. But for him, it's an opportunity to show everyone he knows how useful he is by saving them all. All he has to do is survive, and get his ex back.Written by
On the DVD (at least the region-two and region-one versions), there is a feature that plays an edited version of the scene where Pete (Peter Serafinowicz) yells at Shaun (Simon Pegg) and Ed (Nick Frost) for playing the music too loud ("I've got to go to fuc-king work in four fuc-king hours!") that has been dubbed over for television airings, thus replacing all obscenities. "Fuck" was replaced with "funk", "prick" became "prink". The feature has the fitting title "Funky Pete", and is found in the alternate bits section. See more »
After Mary falls on the pole, she gets up and she is standing straight up. The next shot from the front shows Mary standing up again. See more »
Some 5 years before the making of this film the same team behind it wrote and directed series (season) 1 and 2 of an offbeat UK sitcom named "Spaced". Massively overlooked at the time of broadcast yet with a hardcore fan base of loyal devotees a third series was long overdue but never did materialise.
Shaun of the Dead is the continuation of what went before; of a similar format yet in a completely new setting, with new characters, plus new cast members and for the first time a feature-length run time for the big screen. So how does it play out? Even with such a departure from the original setting, the history of TV to cinema adaptations is a dodgy one to say the least. Fortunately for those of us who already fans or (more likely) if you've never seen the series before prepare to be impressed.
The style is all it's own. With inventive direction and editing making the visual impact which fans will instantly recognise, to the writing which importantly is firstly genuinely funny, interspersed with references to popular culture of the past two decades, always with a self-knowing grin, a wink to the viewer rather than a pretentious nod. And of course several self-references and in-jokes of the TV series all fill in the gaps between the tastefully presented killings. There is blood, after all this is a "rom-zom-com" or "romantic zombie comedy" - a self-proclaimed new genre and rightly so. This is as about as original as it gets. They actually manage to pull off humour, violence, decapitations, action, romance, suspense, sadness and joy all within the space of 90 minutes!
This is the best film I've seen in ages, and a real credit to British film, we already knew about "Fried Gold", now the rest of the World can see it too. An instant classic.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Freddie Highmore has been tapped to co-star as a young Norman Bates in the network's Psycho prequel Bates Motel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. As first reported by TV Guide, Highmore will play the character made famous by Anthony Perkins in the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock feature. Highmore, whose credits also include Finding Neverland, August Rush and the lead role as Charlie in Tim Burton's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, joins the previously cast Vera Farmiga, who will play his mother Norma. From Lost's Carlton Cuse and Friday Night Lights' Kerry Ehrin, Bates Motel will explore Norman's relationship with his mother, Norma and offer a look at his backstory that helped forge the infamous serial killer. "We are incredibly excited to start production on Bates Motel. We think our take on the Bates family will both be surprising and subvert expectations. We can't wait for people to check in," Cuse told The Hollywood Reporter this week of his take on the famed thriller. A&E will promote Bates, which bypassed the traditional pilot stage and was picked up straight to series, withteaser art appearing on the back cover of the programs for this month's Creative Arts and Primetime Emmy Awards. Highmore is repped by ARG and Kuranda Management. The series will debut next year. This marks the US series debut for Highmore, who also toplined the feature The Spiderwick Chronicles.

Given that this like the third Spiderman we be getting since the millennium, sixth film total, there’s a bunch of available metatext for this one to draw upon. Film gets out most of its hits early on, there’s a joke about the Toby McGuire version and its obsession with having the character pose before the American flag. A crack at the Garfield interpretation and the oft repeated criticism of the impossible physics of his escapades. It even gets a poke in at the beef over the character’s ownership.
Mercifully it gets all this outta the way before the main titles so that it can go on to be its own movie. Aside from, you know, those bits when Robert Downey Jr. turns up in order to make it the Tony Stark show for a hot five minutes at a time. Cos the new character identity gotta fall in line with that Marvel mandate. Honestly if all this talk of them killing off a major player in the next Avengers movie is true, God I hope it’s him. It’ll be ten years of that character and it’s getting to start be a little tiresome.
Also, I mean, dude’s always been a famous arsehole, but this movie really tugs at the edges of that character. He’s such this pervasive presence, basically acting as Peter Parker’s surrogate father that the film can’t escape him. Incidentally, skipping the whole origin story bit (I’m sure we’ll hear about it in like 2019 or something) totally the right move for this joint. It crazy, Tom Holland is like 21, they’ve got him playing 15 I think, maybe sixteen, anyway it’s right on the edge of his range, but the implication that this kid got his shit figured out far better than any of the grown leads did at his age is great.
In fact all the kids in this joint come off pretty well: Jacob Batalon does the comedy relief sidekick bit like liquid; Laura Harrier breathes this real sense of internality into a fairly standard love interest bit, though the script does give her some good hooks to hang that characterisation off of; Zendaya gets a less charitable part unfortunately, the quirky friendly girl who’s pushed out when the boys are doing their boy stuff, so tiresome, they’ll give her an actual role in the next one, I guess, she fills out the cast admirably here though. Oh, and the ageless Tony Revolori turns up too as this asshole guy who’s supposed to be this rich bully kid but because the film a lighthearted kids flick can never pick his claws out in the way he’d need to properly sell it.
I think it would be a fun cast to out for drinks with. They all seem like good people. Who ain’t good people? Tony Stark and his crew. Not only are they proper assholes in this joint but their unsavoury politics starts to creep into the structure of the film in a way that comes across real uncomfortable. I ain’t going to get too into the details, suffice to say that the film’s climax is basically about the importance of personal ownership and how any lengths gone to to protect the sanctity of property are justified.
Whaaaat? Nope. You did your message wrong movie. Bad job.
Marvel chatting now about Avengers 4 and how I’ll be the end of some grand meta-arc or another because it seem like the ultimate method of storytelling is the shonen manga one. The next arc’ll begin with the next Spiderman. I hope they decide to make it more revolutionary, cos this run seems more and more to me like some weak ass bullshit. Can we get Kamela Khan in the next one too, that’d be dope.
Honestly more kid heroes in general are pretty necessary, because one of the main struggles that this film has is satisfactorily tying together the superhero antics with the high school drama. Now there’s a whole range of ways it expresses the idea, but at the core there’s only one. Parker’s commitment to the whole hero business is interfering with his young social life. Which means that you have two movies with just about nothing to do with each other and Tom Holland at several points just strolls right outta one of them to pick up the other.
Leads to the whole film having this sorta disjointed feel as we lurch periodically between these two modes. It is carried, though, by the commitment to this comic tone that director Jon Watts (another babyman) smears all over the screen like a paste. Like, they get Hannibal Buress, Martin Starr and fucking Donald Glover to show up just to fill these itty bit parts. Glover getting that Lando Calrissian money now, he don’t need to turn up for like two scenes here even if they are both pure gold.
So Michael Keaton is the villain, and I appreciate Marvel’s commitment to keeping these spats personal over their past few joints. He’s some small time huckster who be jacking alien wares from the government’s clean up operation, converting them into hi-tech neo-weapons and selling them to criminals on the streets of New York. He has these fancy robot angel wings that he flies about on while pulling his heists. He seem like a dickbag, but some people just are, you know. He’s functional, and having fun with the role where he can find it, but it’s just drags everything down.
Early on, Parker is doing some dope, silly, stupid crimefighting stuff. He’s being helpful to old ladies and stopping bike thieves. The boy’s antsy and restless for action but honestly, when he’s dealing with small time thuggos he’s so much more fun than when he’s dividing himself to bring the big boys down. that’s probably the point, but the film seems so concerned with having fun that its loose adherence to this standard narrative drive looms large. It hasn’t planned in when to deliver hopelessness to the audience so it tries to dole it out in small doses scattered through the running time (133 minutes, totally too long btw). It just teases us with a little melancholy, every now and then, it’s insufficient and irritating and disruptive.
But isn’t Spiderman supposed to be, and scrappy too. Naw, I liked this film. It’s rough here and then, and slight unbearable when Iron Man butts his head in. It’s Tom Holland’s performance tho’. See, I think we’d have both been 14 when Iron Man came out. If kid were actually 15, he’d have been six. And that fucking scans. I buy him, and I buy that and I’m happy and I’m jealous.
We can all have a fun time in the theatre though, and through little more than the charm of its leads Spider-Man: Homecoming delivers us that despite whatever bumps there are along the way.
Y’all done good.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is currently screening in UK cinemas

Synopsis: Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ayn Rand, who wrote the screenplay adaptation.

Roark is Rand's embodiment of the human spirit, and his struggle represents the struggle between individualism and collectivism.


Audition songs for a broad vocal range?
I have a broad vocal range and can do any part from alto to soprano. What songs can I sing that can show my vocal range?
I don't want overdone songs like Phantom of The Opera, Les Miz, Wicked, etc. But nothing too obscure that the pianist won't know what it is, either.


DreamWorks-Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros Pictures
Producers: Walter F Parkes & Laurie MacDonald, Richard D Zanuck, John Logan
WHY - Tim Burton’s sensibilities are perfectly matched with Stephen Sondheim’s grisly Grand Guignol musical about murder, vengeance and pies made of human flesh in Victorian London. After five previous films together, Sweeney Todd is also the high point of Burton’s collaboration with Johnny Depp, who gives another bravura performance as the wronged Benjamin Barker, aka Todd.
CHANCES - Since Chicago revitalised the musical in 2002, Hollywood has struggled to duplicate its magical combination of box-office green and Oscar gold, but Sweeney Todd might reverse that losing streak. Widely acclaimed, the film finally gives Burton and Depp a shot at the awards glory that has eluded them. Older voters might be turned off by the liberal blood-letting but few will be able to deny the inspired film-making.
PROFILE: Richard D Zanuck
Shot in 50 days for just $50m, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street is the fourth collaboration between director Tim Burton and Richard D Zanuck, who produced the R-rated adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical with screenwriter John Logan and DreamWorks’ Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald.
Based originally on Christopher Bond’s retelling of the Victorian penny dreadful The String Of Pearls, the musical (and book by Hugh Wheeler) tells the tale of a murderous barber (Johnny Depp) who seeks revenge after being wrongly jailed by a twisted judge (Alan Rickman). His partner in crime, Mrs Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), bakes the bodies into pies.
Burton apparently became interested in the project while still an unknown director. He approached Sondheim in London after seeing the show 12 times in a row.
‘When Todd became available to him at DreamWorks, he jumped at the chance,’ says Zanuck. ‘He’d always had it in the back of his mind, but never managed to put it together due to timing issues.’
The big-screen version gives audiences a chance to hear Depp sing in what Zanuck describes as ‘a horror piece set to music’. ‘People forget, but Johnny first came out to Hollywood as a band singer,’ he says. ‘Johnny has an incredible voice.’
Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Depp’s foil, also turned out to be something of a crooner, which Burton and Zanuck determined on hearing his rendition of songs from Fiddler On The Roof at the audition. As for Bonham Carter, Zanuck says: ‘Having seen all the Mrs Lovetts on stage, I couldn’t imagine a better one than Helena Bonham Carter, whose performance is warm, tender and funny.’
‘What Tim Burton brought to the project is Tim Burton,’ he adds. ‘His style is unique. You can walk into a theatre not knowing who directed the picture and most people will know within a few minutes that Tim directed this. He’s a real auteur.’


A star is programmed
If computers play an ever-greater part in filmmaking, then actors made of bits and bytes could be the Oscar winners of tomorrow.
That's the premise of "Simone," starring Al Pacino as a has-been director who needs a new angle to restart his career. Seizing on a cybernetics program concocted by a dying scientist, he creates a virtual star, who is as stunning as she is artificial, and passes her off as real. She captivates the public, makes his new picture a smash, and becomes the world's most sought-after star.
So far so good. But how long can our hero keep his synthespian's identity or lack thereof a secret? What can he do about the fans hungry for gossip, the rapacious journalists panting for photos, the studio execs dying to meet the star who's making them rich?
And then there's the question of his own integrity. Is he satisfying legitimate appetites of a star-struck society, or engineering a fraud for nobody's gain but his own? Should he let his long-suffering ex-wife in on the scam, especially since she heads the studio that produces his pictures? What would his daughter think?
"Simone" has the makings of a savvy satire on today's mania for celebrities who are half artificial from the get-go, wrapping skin-deep acting abilities in bodies tweaked by couturiers, makeup wizards, and armies of plastic surgeons. (Don't they know it shows?)
Sadly, writer-director Andrew Niccol doesn't bring his ideas to life, despite the promise he showed in "Gattaca" and "The Truman Show." "Simone" moves at a lumbering pace, peppered with ungainly gags and dramatic moments with little emotional power. The ironic commentary on show-biz superficiality is sabotaged by Niccol's failure to make his own story seem real. The deliberately bogus world of "The Truman Show" looks like cinema-vérité compared to the ersatz Hollywood he's cooked up here.
Pacino aims for a mix of charm, vulnerability, and pathos, which pretty much cancel one another out. Catherine Keener and Evan Rachel Wood do their best with one-dimensional roles. Simone is played by Canadian actress Rachel Roberts, in her movie debut, though her image has been digitally tweaked. I only wish the film she's in had more wit and insight to offer.
Rated PG-13; contains mild violence, sexuality.


Hardly back from America in her home village, the young mountain guide Andrea Stamm is called to a rescue operation. The wife of the contractor Baumberger has an accident. A murder? The whole village mourns, but Andreas's father Robert Stamm can not believe in an accident. The former police officer, who was sent against his will in early retirement, is convinced that Baumberger killed his wife. After initial hesitation, Andrea gives credence to her father's suspicions and begins to investigate. The television movie Steinschlag is an exciting Swiss crime drama based on the novel by Emil Zopfi.


Best Christian movies ever produced recount past events which are recorded in the Bible. Most of the stories told in these movies are adaptations of Biblical stories about Christ, the Apostles of Christ, Biblical legends and Biblical wars. The producers try to paint the right picture based on Biblical recordings about the past, present, and future. These works are produced in such a way that they show true Christians beliefs and strengthen the faith of Christians. The producers use vivid imagery to bring out Biblical characters so well that it is difficult to differentiate between the true Biblical characters and the ones created by the producer.

This film focuses on Jesus’ final twelve hours, from the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection of Christ. The dialogue in the movie is a reconstruct of Aramaic, Latin, and Hebrew, and the film itself was shot in Italy. Since its debut, the film has continued to attract criticism across the board with some people deconstructing it based on its intense violence scenes, while others are claiming it is a religious classic.

Paul, Apostle of Christ
Apostle Paul was one of the most interesting characters in the Bible. This is because of his transformation from a notorious Christian persecutor to one of Jesus’ most influential apostles.

It shows that we are all worthy before Christ’s eyes and that we have value before God, irrespective of what and who we are. This is one of the best 2018 Christian movies. There could not be any better time to release this movie other than in 2018.
Jesus of Nazareth
This 1977 is what most Christians would call an exhaustive account of Christ’s life. It covers most parts of Jesus’ life. It begins before nativity and extends to Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. The producers and directors of the movie, however, to give the movie more theatrical meaning and add flavour to it, altered some aspects of the dialogue and characters of the original Biblical account. The movie was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and co-authored by Zeffirelli, who of course did a good job, based on its performance.
This is a 2016 movie directed by Kevin Raynolds. This American Biblical drama is a story of a Roman tribune in Judea who was tasked with finding the missing body of Jesus Christ who rose from the dead. The setting, dialogue and how the story unfolds is both spontaneous and captivating.

Moses, who was an Egyptian prince, learns the truth about his roots and finds his true calling – as the deliverer of his people from captivity in Egypt.

Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
This is a historical period movie released in 2016. It is a story of two Portuguese Jesuit priests who travel to Japan in an effort to find their mentor who was rumoured to have committed apostasy and championed for the spread of Catholicism.

1984’s Firestarter movie is getting a rebooted movie, and we
will discuss the things we know about it till the date today, in this article.
Stephen King’s 1984’s hit movie is not getting a remake, and the development
and production are under the progress. The production companies Universal and
Blumhouse are taking the lead in production. Unstoppable numerous Stephen King
films and TV shows presently are on the rise and released as a part of
Hollywood. This movie is getting several storyline recommendations from
different writers around the world for the remake for the third time
live-action adaptation. 1984’s film already had a second sequel in 2002’s
Firestarter: Rekindled, which was a thriller/horror movie.
Stephen King’s films are known for their quality and as a
masterpiece. This time he might be thinking of making it very far from the
original title and plot because his remaking a do-over is a warranty for it.
This is not a bad thing about the original movie that it needs a remake; it is
just may beyond that. The 1980’s novel Firestarter is focused on a little girl
who occasionally possesses pyrokinetic abilities. The first live-action movie
was planned to release in 1984 by introducing Drew Barrymore for the role of
Charlie Mcgee. Despite the fact that Stephen King didn’t write the story for
the film, it is nearly his writing style displayed in the movie. It was one of
the truthful film adaptation of King’s career.
The movie first, when it came out, didn’t explode fans’
expectations, but it was a not too cold or not that cold; it was an adequate
superhero kind film of the decade. Nowadays, the movie is not even considered
that fashionable, but it is still a middling reputed movie. However, the remake
might fill the gap that 1984’s failed to do, and this time with advanced CGI
and visual effects, the movie might become one of the best superhero movies of
It is currently indistinct when the movie’s production with
Universal and Blumhouse is going to initiate, let alone the release date. The
remake project was proclaimed way back in April 2019, along with the
Oscar-nominated scriptwriter Akiva Goldsman as the director. Scott Teems was
selected for the writing script announced along with the Faith Akin taking the
role of director for the project. From June 2018, the post of the producer is
handed back to Goldsman for the Firestarter remake film. Later in December
2019, Akin was the only director left in the team, and a fresh director was
selected to continue the project. The newly recruited director has done some
impressive work in the Blumhouse’s indie horror movie The Vigil. After then, no
new updates about the franchise is leaked or announced officially.

Paul Mescal wants to make more small independent films like Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun”.
Paul Mescal’s Oscar-nominated turn in “Aftersun” helped land him bigger roles in films like Ridley Scott’s upcoming “Gladiator” sequel, but indie fans needn’t worry about losing him anytime soon.
Speaking to IndieWire on the blue carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards, Mescal reiterated his commitment to continue appearing in films like “Aftersun” and giving back to the independent film community.
“Indie cinema is where I want to live and be. So I’m really proud of this movie, I love Charlotte (Wells), I love Frankie (Corio), so it’s an easy and happy place to be right now. ” Mescal said, before pointing out that the film’s many award nominations are due to people still caring about smaller films. “It’s a really cool dual product to make a movie that has landed with people. And it’s just important to remind ourselves that it’s because people still want to see independent cinema.”
The comments should come as no surprise to those who have followed Mescal’s career closely. The actor has always been vocal about his commitment to keeping the independent film industry thriving.
“I love a blockbuster as much as the next person, but the only point is that we have to be careful not to leave a little bit more room for movies like ‘Aftersun’ or movies like ‘Close,'” Mescal said. in a recent interview with IndieWire. “I really don’t think I’m a snob about it. In fact, the only fear is that this space (for independent films) will be invaded. And if we don’t balance the ecosystem, we’ll only have one kind of movie.”
In a separate interview, Mescal explained that his passion for making short films meant that he was unlikely to join a major franchise that would require a huge commitment of his time.
“I would be devastated if that was taken away from me,” Mescal said. “And I think sometimes you have to decide to leave it for 5, 10, 15 years, and that would be very sad… I know if I make that decision, I’m not going to wake up in five years.” The time and surprise I didn’t get time off for two months to go to Turkey and make an independent film. Knowledge is power.”

Now-a-days Telugu film heroes are getting linguistic communication sprees. they offer nod to the films once gift show is on sets, that may be a smart designing. Handsome hero Gopichand is additionally not associate degree exception for it. Currently, he's busy in promoting his approaching flick Soukhyam, that is cathartic on December 24th.
The latest news we get is that a movie titled Oxygen, starring Gopichand in the lead role, has been launched formally later today. Directed by A. M. Rathnam’s son Jyothi Krishna, the film is touted to be an action thriller. Yuvan Shankar Raja will be composing the tunes for the film.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now here's some cool news. The writer/director of The Witch, Robert Eggers, is going to be helming a remake of F.W. Murnau's silent gothic horror masterpiece Nosferatu and he'll be bringing along his Witch star, Anya Taylor-Joy, per Variety.
Love or hate The Witch, you gotta admit it evoked a deep feeling of unease. That tone is required for any adaptation of Nosferatu. Werner Herzog was able to bring that unease to his 1979 remake and now Eggers is getting his shot thanks to Studio 8.
The next step is finding his Count Orlok. Willem Dafoe jumped immediately to mind, but that's because I'm lazy and he already played the part in the awesome (and underseen) movie SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE that supposed Murnau found an actual vampire to play the Count when he made the movie.
Who do you guys think could pull it off?


Isabelle Huppert, (born March 16, 1955, Paris, France), French actress who was acclaimed for her versatility and for the subtle gestures and restrained emotions of her portrayals.
Early career and acclaim
Huppert developed an interest in acting as a teenager and entered the Versailles Conservatory in 1968. Three years later, at age 16, she made her filmdebut in Faustine et le bel été (1971; Faustine and the Beautiful Summer). Though cast in a bit part, she attracted notice and began working steadily; by the mid-1970s she had made more than 15 films. It was not until 1977, however, that she received international acclaim. In La Dentellière (The Lacemaker) her portrayal of Pomme, a young woman who suffers a nervous breakdown after being abandoned by her lover, earned Huppert the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award as most promising newcomer. The following year she was named best actress at the Cannes film festival for her performance in Violette Nozière (1978) as a teenager who casually murders her father; it was the first of seven films she made with director Claude Chabrol. In 1980 Huppert appeared in her first English-language film, Heaven’s Gate, a Western that was panned by critics and ignored by audiences.
Although she was a versatile actress, adept in both comedic and serious roles, Huppert’s forte was playing antiheroines with questionable morals. In Chabrol’s film adaptation (1991) of Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, she played the tragic Emma Bovary, an unhappy middle-class wife whose adulterous affairs eventually lead to her suicide. For her performance Huppert received some of the most notable reviews of her career. In 1994 she starred as a nun turned pornographer in Amateur. The following year she portrayed a town gossip and murderer in La Cerémonie, for which she received a French César Award. She later played a career woman dating a young bartender in L’École de la chair (1998; The School of Flesh). In 2001 Huppert garnered acclaim as a sexually repressed music instructor in La Pianiste (The Piano Teacher). The disturbing drama, which was directed by Michael Haneke, earned Huppert her second best actress award at Cannes. She turned to comedy with 8 femmes (2002; 8 Women), about a group of women (played by Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart, and Fanny Ardant, among others) who investigate a murder.
Huppert’s subsequent films included I Heart Huckabees (2004), a comedy about detectives who solve their clients’ existential problems; Gabrielle (2005), which chronicles the demise of a marriage; and L’Ivresse du pouvoir (2006; The Comedy of Power), in which she starred as a judge who heads an investigation into corporate corruption. In 2008 Huppert appeared as a plantation owner in French Indochina in Un Barrage contre le Pacifique (2008; The Sea Wall), an adaptation of Marguerite Duras’s novel of the same name. She was at the centre of another exploration of colonialism’s effects in White Material (2009), in which she portrayed a French farmer defending her coffee plantation from rebels in an unnamed African country. In Tarŭn naraesŏ (2012; In Another Country), a series of related vignettes set in South Korea, Huppert starred as three different women dealing with romantic entanglements, and in Haneke’s Amour (2012) she had a supporting role as the daughter of an elderly couple facing mortality.
Huppert later appeared in the crime thriller Dead Man Down (2013). She then played the mother of a woman (Jessica Chastain) who has lost her child in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby (2013–14), a set of three experimental films, one told from the perspective of the male protagonist (James McAvoy), a second told from that of the female protagonist (Chastain), and a final version, which integrated both perspectives. After evincing the struggles of a film director who, having suffered a stroke, allows a con man into her life in Abus de faiblesse (2013; Abuse of Weakness), Huppert played a farmer’s wife who has a flirtation with a younger man in La ritournelle (2014; Paris Follies).
Academy Award nomination and later films
In 2015 Huppert anchored the drama Louder Than Bombs, portraying a charismatic woman whose death leaves her family at loose ends, and starred opposite Gérard Depardieu in Valley of Love, a drama about divorced parents who reunite in Death Valley at the posthumous instruction of their son. L’Avenir (2016; Things to Come) is a midlife crisis drama that documents her philosophy teacher character’s attempts to reassess her life after a divorce. Huppert drew critical acclaim for her performance in Elle (2016), about a successful businesswoman’s actions after being sexually assaulted. For the drama, she received her first Golden Globe Award as well as her first Academy Award nomination. Her other credits from 2016 included Souvenir, in which she played a former singer on the Eurovision Song Contest who, with her young lover, plans a comeback.

In 2017 Huppert appeared in a number of films, notably Haneke’s Happy End, a drama about a wealthy dysfunctional French family, and La caméra de Claire (Claire’s Camera), in which she played a music teacher who befriends a number of strangers while visiting the Cannes film festival. The next year she had a role in Matthew Weiner’s anthology series The Romanoffs as a movie director who believes she is a descendent of the deposed Russian royal family. Huppert also starred as a lonely widow in the horror movie Greta (2018) and as a matriarch who brings her family together on a trip to Portugal in the drama Frankie (2019). In the crime comedy La daronne (2020; Mama Weed), she played a police translator who becomes a drug dealer.
Although best known for her cinematic work, Huppert also performed on the stage. She frequently appeared in French productions, and in 1996 she made her London stage debut, playing the title role in Friedrich Schiller’s Mary Stuart at the National Theatre. In 2005 she first appeared on the New York stage, starring in 4:48 Psychosis, an unsettling drama about a woman contemplating suicide.

Coronation Street is set to be home to a Hollywood star next month.
ITV bosses have reportedly have signed up actor Adam Fogerty to appear in several episodes.
The star is set to play a new prison guard at Weatherfield's prison, but there's currently no word yet on who he'll be guarding.
Adam has appeared on-screen alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood during his lengthy career.
He starred opposite Tom Hardy in Legend, a British gangster movie about the infamous cray Twins.
Some fans will also recognise him from appearing alongside Brad Pitt in Snatch.
But that's not all, as Adam is also a familiar face in soap land.
He previously appeared on Coronation Street as a hitman all the way back in 1995.
Adam also made brief appearances on fellow ITV soap Emmerdale and Channel 4's Hollyoaks back in the 90s.
It comes after Coronation Street cast actress Janet Dibley as new character Melinda on the ITV soap.
The head teacher will appear in festive scenes later this year, alongside characters including Tyrone Dobbs, Maria Connor and Kevin Webster.
Former EastEnders actress Janet, who played Lorna Cartwright on the BBC soap, is swapping channels as she heads to Weatherfield in the coming weeks.
