It’s 1964, we are in Riverdale, a fictional hilltown set in North India dominated by an Anglo-Indian community; and we’re introduced to ‘Green Park’ by Archie Andrews (Agastya Nanda), who explains the history attached to it. Apart from loving Green Park, Archie also likes the Brunnete Veronica Lodge (Suhana Khan) and Blonde Betty Cooper (Khushi Kapoor) at the same time.

The Exchange is a series directed by Jasem Al-Muhanna and Karim Elshenawy starring Rawan Mahdi and Mona Hussain.
The Exchange reaches us from Kuwait with an interesting premise about women´s liberation in the masculina world of finances.
As far as the premise is concerned… good. After that, what we find inside… and each person will see whether they like it or not.
This is not The Wolf of Wall Street, nor is it a comedy or have a wild rhythm nor anything like that. The Exchange portrays the financial world of Kuwait in the Eighties and how two talented young ladies try to impose themselves on the system.
This is not the series of the year nor does it excell in its filming, you just need to watch it or not.

Slave of the Cannibal God
Blu ray
Code Red
1978/ 99 min.
Starring Ursula Andress, Stacy Keach
Cinematography by Giancarlo Ferrando
Directed by Sergio Martino
At the same moment the Korean War was ending and Eisenhower entered the White House, illustrator Samson Pollen found his niche; illuminating the fever dreams of suburban dads for action magazines from Man’s World to Stag. He enjoyed a long career and in 1978 he was handed an assignment right up his alley, a garish montage of anacondas, he-men and nearly-naked women. But his art for Slave of the Cannibal God turned out to be far from his best work. Blandly composed and indifferently executed, Pollen’s movie poster works best as a critique of the film itself.
Directed by Sergio Martino, this travelogue-cum-horror movie stars Ursula Andress, a paragon of beauty who built her brand on a supernatural physique and a come-hither gaze that might have inspired...

Bob Dylan’s tour touched down at the William B. Bell Auditorium in Augusta, Georgia Wednesday night and wrapped up with a surprise cover of the 1966 James Brown classic “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.” Dylan strips much of the soul out of the original and turns it into a haunting ballad. It’s the first time he’s ever played a James Brown song in concert. The soul legend was born in Atlanta, but he moved to Augusta at a young age and began his professional career in the town.

In times like this it’s crucial to be aware. Not only of what is happening currently, but to be fully aware is to consistently remember what has happened in the past. “Baltimore Rising,” an HBO documentary film directed by Sonja Sohn, will illuminate the death of Freddie Gray and the aftermath in the city of Baltimore.
Premiering on HBO and HBO Now on Nov. 20, “Baltimore Rising” seeks insight in those with concrete ties to the city of Baltimore: the police officers, activists, community leaders, and gang affiliates. The film explores how to make change after the community had erupted into “deep divisions between authorities and the community — and underscoring the urgent need for reconciliation.”

“Younger” gets attention for its look into the New York social circles and its attention-grabbing fashions, and that’s as it should be. After all, this is a series by Darren Star, who also brought us the delights of “Sex and the City.”
Sutton Foster stars as Liza Miller, a 40-year-old woman who’s just emerged from a failed marriage and must re-enter the work force. The only problem is that no one will even glance at her resume since she became a full-time mother nearly two decades ago. But after she’s mistaken for a 26-year-old at a bar, she decides to pass for much younger and lands a job at publishing firm Empirical Press.

Incidentally and not at all accidentally, the book includes a reflections on a number of essential films that shaped Harris’ journey, from Spike Lee joints to underappreciated indies and even Hal Ashby’s “The Landlord.”
In celebration of the book, Harris has also curated a series at Brooklyn’s Alamo Drafthouse under the same title, featuring four films that speak directly to his novel and his experience, including tonight’s screening of “The Landlord.”

Sony shook up the superhero scene when they signed a deal with Disney to let Spider-Man in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time ever. But as with all good things, there was a catch. Sony wasn't giving all of Spider-Man's world over to the McU. They still planned to keep much of it for themselves. Just last week they revealed that Tom Hardy had been cast in a Venom movie to be directed by Ruben Fleisher, and now this week we've got news about Sony's other cornerstone of their non-mcu, non-Spider-Man Marvel universe. Gina Prince-Bythewood (picured above) is set to direct the Silver Sable and Black Cat movie. We already knew Sony was planning a movie based on the two iconic characters, but hiring the director of the terrific Love &...

Wonder Woman hits theaters in only a few weeks and we're still getting more trailers and posters. Someone important must have asked for "more Chris Pine", because today we got a new poster and international trailer that is very Pine-heavy. Pine plays Steve Trevor in the story, who accidentally discovers Wonder Woman's home after crash landing. He ends up being her trusted friend and partner who introduces her to "Man's World".
Pine rarely does wrong in his roles. I'm anxious to see how he supports Gadot and if he gets to kick ass like she clearly does in the trailers.
Here is the latest international trailer:
And Pine has clearly got Gal Gadot's back in this new poster.

Here’s how studios say they see it: Sure, we really want to hire women directors. But there’s almost no studio movie that isn’t big budget, and we can’t find women who have the experience necessary to handle the really big movies. (Never mind Colin Trevorrow. Or Marc Webb. Or Gareth Edwards. Or Jon Watts.)
Of course, that logic is a vicious cycle at best, but here’s a chance to break it. Director Reed Morano’s dazzling execution of the first three episodes of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” suggests another excellent source for future women directors: top cinematographers.

Peripatetic filmmaker Laura Poitras never imagined that “Risk,” her follow-up to the demanding Oscar-winning Edward Snowden documentary “Citizenfour,” would present another set of daunting challenges. This time she’s up close and personal with controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, as he gets on the phone with a lawyer in Hillary Clinton’s State Department in 2010 to alert them of a massive dump of unredacted State Department documents on his site.

If “Guardians of the Galaxy” was director James Gunn’s Marvelization of “Star Wars,” then “Vol. 2” is his riff on “The Empire Strikes Back,” as the Guardians struggle to stay intact as a dysfunctional family of social misfits.
In this follow-up, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), the half-human, half-alien Star Lord, meets Ego (Kurt Russell), the aptly named cosmic god and living planet. who claims to be his father. Their interaction forces Quill to confront the dark side of his own over-sized ego. Also thrown into the mix is Baby Groot (Vin Diesel), a reboot of the sprouting humanoid and the epitome of innocence, who requires constant parenting from the Guardians.

This is the story of how two Israeli filmmakers transformed a Buddhist movie star into Bob Dylan, a New York homeless man, a Manhattan Jewish fixer, and a politician with family issues. It started when Oren Moverman wrote “I’m Not There” with director Todd Haynes, who cast Richard Gere as one of six versions of Bob Dylan.
Several years later, Gere spotted Moverman across a crowded room. “It was an Academy event in New York,” Gere said. “It was a cocktail thing for new members.” Moverman introduced him to Oscar-nominated Joseph Cedar (”Footnote”). They wound up talking Middle East politics. “The three of us were getting along great,” said Gere, who told the men, “If you want to do something that has to do with the Middle East, even in a tangential way, talk to me.”
