Masters of the Air is the third World War II miniseries from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, following Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Goetzman said Spielberg’s father had been pushing them to do the series about WWII pilots since their first.
“We had an obligation to Steven’s father,” Goetzman said at Contenders TV. “He was in the Army Air Force. He’d seen Band and The Pacific and say to Steven, ‘Those are great. When are you going to do the pilots? When are you going to do Europe? If we ever did another one that would be it.’ Then Don Miller’s book came along.”
Beyond Miller’s book, technological improvements made Masters of the Air feasible decades after Band of Brothers. Goetzman credited VFX supervisor Stephen Rosenbaum and the company Dneg. Director of Photography Jac Fitzgerald said they filmed flying scenes in The Volume,...

I felt frustrated walking out of “Underwater”: Here’s a movie with good production values, a great leading actress, and a fantastic score, yet it gets so lost trying to figure out what story it wanted to tell that it completely forgets to form a connection with the audience.
Norah (Kristen Stewart) has been underwater for so long, she has lost all sense of time. She’s part of a mining crew sent to drill on the ocean floor, deep in the Mariana Trench, and she lives in a sea rig with her co-workers.
As she’s putting on her shoes, what she appears to be an earthquake occurs, destroying the rig. She and the remaining crew — Captain Lucien (Vincent Cassel), Emily, Smith (John Gallagher Jr), Rodrigo, and Paul (Tj Miller) — have to devise a plan to walk across the ocean floor and make it to a distant, abandoned...

There is only one thing that can level the playing field between the poor and the rich. That is playing the lottery. As a matter of fact, anyone can play and win the lottery irrespective of how much money they have, who they are or what their background looks like. Celebrities too play the game of chance in a bid to feel the same way poor people feel. Needless to say, everything comes easily in their state of wealth and luxury. So they probably want to feel the same butterflies that a common man would feel as he waits for the numbers to show up in his favor.

It was a clear victory for sci-fi sound editing Sunday night at the 65th annual Mpse Golden Reel Awards at the Westin Bonaventure. “War for the Planet of the Apes” was the surprise winner for Dialogue/Adr, splitting honors with “Blade Runner 2049,” which grabbed the Effects/Foley prize. The big loser was “Dunkirk” (which won the BAFTA sound award earlier Sunday). However, Christopher Nolan’s World War II survival epic took home the Music Score award and remains the sound editing Oscar favorite.
In addition, “The Greatest Showman,” “Coco,” “Loveless,” and “Jane” earned sound editing awards for Musical, Animation, Foreign Language, and Documentary. The big TV winner was “Game of Thrones” (“The Spoils of War”) for Dialogue/Adr and Effects/Foley. Other TV honorees included “Black Mirror” (“USS Callister”) for Episodic Long Form Dialogue/Adr; “Godless” (“Homecoming”) and “Ozark” (“The Toll”) for Episodic Long Form Effects/Foley; “The Get...
