Movie and TV show reviews

As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but express my excitement about the vibrant debut of the musical. In this intriguing narrative, Sink’s character is depicted not just from her humble farm beginnings, but also as she navigates through a futuristic, cyberpunk-inspired post-apocalyptic metropolis that’s under the iron fist of a manipulative entertainment tycoon (Murray Bartlett). Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Regina Hall lend their stellar talents to this film as well.

As a former formidable adversary in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having portrayed Erik Killmonger in “Black Panther” and its follow-up, I can confidently say that Marvel is on a roll. They’ll surely regain their footing and continue to captivate audiences with their compelling storytelling.

The movie, jointly produced by Roundtable Entertainment and Templeheart Films, will be introduced by Architect before the European Film Market (EFM). Architect handles global distribution rights for the film and is collaborating with Roundtable for the North American market’s rights. Filming is scheduled to commence in Vancouver this summer.

As a passionate moviegoer, I find myself drawn to a silent film that paints a chilling picture of a world swallowed by a catastrophic flood. My very own home, along with everything else in its path, is reduced to an underwater landscape. Not a single human figure can be spotted, yet their remnants are scattered about. Fortunately for the resilient feline heroine of this film, titled “Flow”, she finds solace on a drifting vessel shared by other displaced animal friends. United in our voyage, we embark on a journey into the uncharted waters ahead.

As a movie enthusiast eagerly counting down the days to the global debut at this year’s South by Southwest Film & Television Festival on March 8, I’m thrilled to share that “The Accountant 2” has unveiled its official trailer! The sequel finds Christian Wolff (Affleck), our autistic accountant, back in the thick of it, this time tasked with untangling financial mysteries. In this fresh installment, Christian is approached by a tenacious treasury agent (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to help solve a murder case. To crack the case wide open, the enigmatic and reserved Christian must rekindle relationships, starting with his estranged brother, Brax (Bernthal), following the events of the first film.

The movie centers around a troubled author going through a divorce. He forms an unlikely friendship with a former serial killer, who doubles as his marriage advisor during the day and provides insights for his novel’s murder scenes at night. This film is Karaçelik’s first directorial and screenwriting attempt in English. Besides Buscemi, it features John Magaro from “Past Lives” and Britt Lower known for “Severance.

As the newly appointed director of the festival, Tricia Tuttle shared her aspirations for the long-standing event, known for its prominent display of European cinema and serving as a significant platform for U.S. and other international distributors to debut their films. She acknowledged the difficulties festivals encounter when managing the contentious political disagreements that often surround artistic expression, especially in gatherings like the Berlinale.

The upcoming Thursday night premiere film in German language features Eidinger and Nicolette Krebitz as Milena and Tim, middle-aged parents of two discontented 17-year-old twins. Tala Al-Deen, well-known from “Tatort,” takes on the role of Farrah, their household help who tests the family in unforeseen manners but ultimately has her own purposes.

It’s no shock that a renewal has occurred, given that Season 2 concluded with some significant plot twists suggesting a third season was imminent. The second season of the “Lord of the Rings” prequel debuted on Amazon Prime Video on Aug. 29 and wrapped up on Oct. 3. In the finale, Sauron (played by Charlie Vickers) gathered an army of orcs and overpowered the elves at their stronghold Eregion. However, in Season 3, the elves and dwarves are united against the dark lord, and they possess their own powerful rings to challenge him.

In this story, titled “Punku“, which translates to “gateway” in Quechua, we follow an unconventional duo – Meshia, a Matsigenka Indigenous adolescent, and Ivan, a young boy believed to be deceased until he is found living deep within the Amazon jungle of Peru. As Ivan’s sight begins to fade, it falls upon Meshia to guide him on a dangerous river voyage towards the city of Quillabamba, in search of life-saving medical intervention. The movie masterfully combines elements of fantasy with the raw truth of pain and endurance, crafting a tale that explores themes of self-discovery, connection, and danger in a treacherous environment.
