I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
During an Aug. 31 news conference at the Venice Film Festival, Adam Driver threw his support behind SAG’s interim agreement efforts. “Every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has agreed to these terms, the interim agreement, just make it more obvious that these [producers who sign interim agreements] are willing to support…
It’s fitting that Grant Singer opens Reptile, his meandering feature directorial debut, with an “Angel of the Morning” needle drop. Chip Taylor composed that aching tune about a one-night stand because he wanted to capture a passionate and ephemeral feeling. “It was beyond words,” he has said of the 1967 song. “And that is the…
Movies about the financial markets inevitably have the same problem. It simply isn’t that visually compelling watching people stare at their computers or phones and muttering expletives. Adam McKay’s The Big Short managed to avoid the pitfall thanks to its truly memorable characters and such stylistic flourishes as having Margot Robbie explain complicated financial concepts…
Cheerleading is brutal business in Backspot. A GoPro-style opening sequence captures its young female athletes at work, sprinting and flipping and pounding the floor so hard it sounds liable to shatter. Later, we get close-ups of blistered feet, bruised arms, a bloody nose plugged up with a tampon. Through director D.W. Waterson’s camera, we register…
Viggo Mortensen may be riding tall in the saddle, but co-star Vicky Krieps is the true central figure of the revisionist Western marking the actor’s sophomore effort as director-screenwriter after 2020’s Falling. Making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, The Dead Don’t Hurt features many classic attributes of the venerable genre, including…
Viggo Mortensen’s second feature as a director, the Western The Dead Don’t Hurt, is dedicated to his late mother, Grace Gamble Atkinson, who poetically lives on somewhat in the film’s lead character, the fiercely independent Vivienne Le Coudy, played by Vicky Krieps. “Vivienne, she’s no wonder woman. But she’s very strong, has an inner strength,…
Gonzo Girl, Patricia Arquette’s feature directorial debut, is not technically about Hunter S. Thompson. It is about a Hunter S. Thompson type, Walker Reade (Willem Dafoe), invented by Cheryl Della Pietra for her semi-autobiographical novel inspired by her brief stint as Thompson’s assistant. But it’s not really about Walker, either. Its heroine is Alley Russo…
It was a joke that kickstarted Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne’s film career and, as she freely admits, not a good one. After a casting call went out around schools in her region of New Zealand for Taika Waititi’s beloved comedy-drama Hunt for the Wilderpeople, her parents forced her to audition. “They made me do it — I didn’t…
Toronto’s most exciting new restaurants have in common faraway cuisines getting local love. And that’s fitting for a Toronto Film Festival relying this year on glitzy international cinema talent from Europe and Asia especially to replace striking Hollywood A-listers not expected on its red carpets. Here’s a closer look at new hotspots in a city…
Artist-turned-actor Sylvester Stallone will have a retrospective of his original paintings and art pieces at the Toronto Film Festival, starting today. The exhibit with mixed-media art, writings and memorabilia by the Rocky and Expendables star will run throughout TIFF, leading up to the world premiere of Netflix’s Stallone documentary Sly that is set to close…
