Movie and TV show reviews

1975 marked the debut of Peter Bogdanovich’s musical comedy, “At Long Last Love“. This film featured Burt Reynolds, Cybill Shepard, Madeline Kahn, and Duilio Del Prete in the principal roles. The movie is as cheerful as a sunny day, but unfortunately, it failed to resonate with audiences and critics alike. The film was met with a harsh critical response, much of which can be attributed to Peter Bogdanovich’s reputation preceding the release of this film. However, despite its negative reception, “At Long Last Love” is a hidden gem that deserves recognition.

According to my sources, I’m being informed that Garland might be contemplating offering Connor a leading role in the upcoming movie, but as of now, no official offer has been extended.

As a movie enthusiast, I found myself in an engaging discussion with Edde, Alex Braga from the Brazilian film-TV agency Ancine, and Marcio Tavares, executive secretary of Brazil’s Ministry of Culture. Together, we outlined some key priorities for both federal and Rio film-TV policies during this roundtable.

Reports suggest that A24 and Alex Garland are considering Kit Connor, star of Warfare, to take the lead in the upcoming Elden Ring video game adaptation. The project will be overseen by producers Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, George R. R. Martin, and Vince Gerardis.

The news, initially broken by Deadline, arrives at a point when fewer and fewer comedy series are being approved. The show titled ‘Laid’ centered around Ruby Yao, played by Hsu, who over the course of 8 episodes, discovered that all her past lovers were mysteriously dying in peculiar ways. This forced her to revisit her past relationships to progress. Zosia Mamet portrayed her best friend, AJ in the series. The show humorously explored the notion that “you’re not flawed; you just haven’t found your perfect match yet!”, only to reveal that Ruby was indeed the problem, due to a generational curse affecting her family.

The American Media Corporation unveiled a new teaser for the upcoming release of “Nautilus” in the US. This trailer introduces Nemo, a prisoner under British rule in India, who steals the world’s first submarine, the Nautilus. He then gathers a group of misfits to navigate this groundbreaking vessel, evading capture by the British Empire while plotting revenge against his country’s oppressors. The storyline involves Nemo and his crew embarking on underwater and land adventures, such as battling a giant electric eel, discovering submerged cities, and engaging in gunfights on horseback. “Nautilus” appears to draw inspiration from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” promising a thrilling journey filled with adventure.

In recent episodes, we’ve only seen a brief cameo by LL Cool J as Sam Hanna and some passing mentions about other spinoff offices, and there haven’t been many crossover appearances on the main series. Given its extensive history, there are numerous opportunities for the creators to introduce more cross-series interactions. However, NCIS season 23 presents a special opportunity to reintroduce two of the franchise’s most popular characters back onto CBS.

A group of ten gifted female writers from various parts of the nation have been chosen for an intensive eight-week writing workshop. During this period, they will craft a unique television pilot script, either half-hour or hour-long. At the end of the program, their scripts will be evaluated by partners from SSP studios, such as The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, and Netflix.

In a slightly different phrasing: Arnold Schwarzenegger, the main action star of the film series, has been present in every movie except one, even though its reviews were mixed. Interestingly, he unexpectedly returned to portray the Terminator between the second and third films. Later on, he reprised his role for a unique attraction show at Universal Studios locations in Florida, Hollywood, and Japan. However, it’s important to note that he was not alone in these performances.

The plot for the revamped “Malcolm in the Middle” series revolves around Malcolm, who now has a girlfriend and daughter, being summoned by his parents Hal and Lois (played by Jane Kaczmarek) for their 40th anniversary celebration. However, due to the family’s penchant for mischief, the gathering promises to be quite turbulent – in fact, it could be considered a time bomb waiting to explode with bad behavior! Bryan Cranston has shared insights about the show and given viewers a sneak peek at what’s ahead.
