Dennis Harvey Film CriticEven the smallest feature-length film is a considerable logistical enterprise, so it’s a bit flummoxing how little thought appears to have been put into “Choose or Die.” While there have been worse-crafted, even more routinely formulaic Netflix horror efforts, this one takes the cake for sheer whateverness of barely-there plot, concept, character detailing and so on. If some movies now seem designed to be consumed on phones, this one demands so little attention, for such scant rewards, you could probably watch it while vacuuming or doing yoga without missing anything important.Not that first-time feature director Toby Meakins or his cast do slipshod work.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticA whale hunt tradition in the Faroe Islands that’s long been condemned by animal rights activists is given evenhanded examination in Vincent Kelner’s “A Taste of Whale.” This well-crafted French documentary does provide some of the grisly “massacre” footage seen in prior indictments of the seasonal “Grindadrap,” or Grind. But it also lets locals weigh in about something they feel is a part of their cultural identity, while Sea Shepherd campaigners opposed to a practice they deem “monstrous” also get their say.

We’re hearing that the Basic Instinct actress will be playing Victoria Kord.

Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey are hitting the red carpet together for the first time!

Dennis Harvey Film CriticThe “Bourne” movies revivified the espionage genre with their nimble, scrappy, down-and-dirty action. But they weren’t as widely imitated as one might have expected, which leaves “The Contractor” feeling like a relatively fresh chip off a not-so-old block. Chris Pine stars as a forcibly decommissioned U.S.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media WriterAn Italian TV host was slated to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom this week to give testimony in the rape and sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein.But the host, Pascal Vicedomini, did not show up, after his attorney informed prosecutors last week that he would remain in Italy.Vicedomini is the founder of several film festivals, including the L.A.

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer“Supernatural” alum Misha Collins, who played the trench-coat-wearing angel Castiel on the long-running CW series, has been cast on the network’s “Gotham Knights” pilot, Variety has learned.Collins will play District Attorney Harvey Dent in the project, which is based on DC Comics characters. In DC canon, Dent is known for later turning into the Batman villain Two-Face.Per the official description for the “Gotham Knights” character, “Dashing, with a swagger, Harvey Dent is Gotham’s charismatic, hard-charging District Attorney.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticNaomi Watts has had a penchant for highly physical roles unusual among female stars not particularly associated with action movies. It made her acrobatics the most special effect amidst so many CG wonders in Peter Jackson’s “King Kong,” and a vividly plausible victim of grueling crises in films like “Funny Games” and “The Impossible.” Of course, one can always get too much of a good thing, as when recent, regrettable “The Desperate Hour” seemed to reduce the hot-button topic of school shootings to a gimmicky “Watch this fearless actress run the gamut of emotions while JOGGING!”Fortunately, there is nothing gratuitous about the physicality demanded of Watts by “Infinite Storm,” which is based on a real-life incident that took place in New Hampshire’s White Mountains a dozen years ago.

The BBC has been slapped with complaints from angry viewers after it aired a brand new documentary on Katie Price and her son Harvey. The film, titled, Katie Price: What Harvey Did Next, followed the teenager, who was born with septo-optic dysplasia, Prader-Willi syndrome, autism and a learning disability, as he enters this new phase of adulthood, documenting his transition to a more independent life with a move to college.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticNot a nadir in recent horror cinema, but well below average — and sea level — “The Cellar” is a logy contraption whose basic elements seem all too obviously determined by international co-production requirements, rather than any internal logic. Toplining scream queen Elisha Cuthbert as a mother who unwittingly moves her family into a house of supernatural peril, this West Ireland-shot thriller, made in conjunction with Belgian interests, is technically polished.

 reunited, and it was better than any spell we could've conjured up ourselves.ET's Brooke Anderson caught up with Melissa Joan Hart, Nate Richert, Caroline Rhea, Beth Broderick, Jenna Leigh Green and Brooke Anderson at 90's con, where they spoke about the beloved '90s sitcom and the possibility of a reboot.«We were invited to be here as a little reunion for us to get together and it's so special for all of us to connect again,» Hart, who played Sabrina on the series, shared. «And we take every opportunity we can to get together.»«I mean, we really do, like, everybody kind of came, and we had a little union in L.A., little crew reunion, and people flew in from Vancouver and San Francisco and Texas, and all their places,» the  actress continued.While the show is a fan favorite and continues to be for a new generation of audiences who are just getting into the series, thanks to streaming, the cast says they've never watched it.«We never watched it,» Rhea (Aunt Hilda) admitted. «We were too busy making it,» Broderick (Aunt Zelda) added. «We literally worked for however many years, nobody ever saw it,» Rhea continued.Hart told ET people are «shocked» when they reveal that they've never watch an episode of .«People are shocked when we say we never saw it,» Hart said.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticWhen “The Blair Witch Project” got the found-footage horror subgenre properly started in 1999, it was already asking for trouble that the protagonists were film students pointing their cameras where they shouldn’t. These days, prospective victims in such movies are likely to make us feel they deserve their fate by being professional self-promoters with such widely despised job titles as “influencer,” “YouTube personality” or “reality TV star.” Sharp objects may also be involved, but in horror cinema, few things prove more reliably fatal than narcissism.So we know the goose of bearded thirtysomething Shawn Ruddy (Joseph Winter) is cooked right away in “Deadstream,” because he’s introduced in a bombastic montage of clips from the streaming series of which he’s the star and entire crew.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticA perfect movie for the moment — though it debuted in late 2020, winning the Grand Prize at Tallin Black Nights — “Fear” offers both seriocomic balm and finger-wagging just as another major refugee crisis roils the world. Bulgarian theater and film veteran Ivaylo Hristov’s latest feature brings to mind not just current Ukraine-related events, but wider European and global trends, as it depicts a border backwater rattled when a lonely local widow takes in an African man fleeing war.

Steve Harvey has already expressed his approval for his daughter’s boyfriend, that doesn’t mean he wants a new son-in-law any time soon.On Thursday, March 3, the Family Feud host participated in a game of “Sip or Spill” during his appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna. In this game, guests are required to answer the questions the co-hosts ask, or they can choose to take a sip of their beverage in order to plead the fifth.During his roung of the game, the 65-year-old struggled to answer whether he would approve of Michael B. Jordan asking his stepdaughter, Lori Harvey, to marry him.“Man, this is a hard one,” he replied.

Steve Harvey is all here for his daughter, Lori Harvey's relationship with Michael B. Jordan, but he isn't so sure about them tying the knot just yet.In a new episode of, airing Friday, the hosts play a game of «Sip or Spill» with Steve, in which he has to either answer their questions or take a sip of his at-home alcoholic beverage.During the segment, Hoda Kotb asked Steve whether or not he'd approve if Jordan asked to marry his daughter, and the talk show host struggled to give a yes or no answer.«Man, this is a hard one. I’ve given away two daughters.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticCurrent B-grade thrillers so frequently have too little plot — often not much more than a starting premise — that it’s almost refreshing to see something like “The Weekend Away,” which has many more narrative complications than it can pull off. Certainly not with sufficient credibility, suspense or atmosphere, and not in one hectic hour and a half.

Lily Moayeri It’s late on a Friday afternoon and as the working week draws to a close, music supervisor Jen Malone is invigorated. The cause for celebration? An email she had been waiting for just arrived, marking the last clearance for a song to be used in the season finale of HBO’s “Euphoria.”Malone’s needle drops for the music-heavy series helped make “Euphoria” a social-media phenomenon, trending on a weekly basis as two million-plus tune in.

J. Kim Murphy To twist the words of Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Dent, it’s always darkest before the dawn, especially at the box office.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticSome movies endure as a treasured soundtrack to which the film itself becomes a mere footnote. That seems likely to prove the case with “Creation Stories,” a biopic of Creation Records’ founder Alan McGee that duly draws sonic fuel from the stellar array of Britpop bands he was involved with.

Lionel Richie has opened up about his family life and reflected on adopting his eldest daughter, Nicole, who he described as a “godsend. ”Richie, 72, who adopted Nicole, now 40, with his then-wife Brenda Harvey, discussed the pivotal moment in his life while speaking with People on February 10. “Nicole was actually a godsend,” Richie recalled of the adoption when Nicole was nine.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticWith both title and central buddy dynamic tipping hat to “Superbad,” among other raunchy teen comedies, “Supercool” is not the kind of movie that wins prizes for originality. Nor is Finnish director Teppo Airaksinen’s first U.S.-shot, English-language project as outrageous as it thinks it is. Nonetheless, this energetic spin through high school antics redolent of everything since “Ferris Bueller” is colorful and amusing enough to entertain viewers looking for a familiar mix of bad-taste gags in a squeaky-clean suburban setting.

Lori Harvey‘s babying Michael B. Jordan on his 35th birthday, and it’s adorable!

Lori Harvey's babying Michael B. Jordan on his 35th birthday, and it's adorable!The SKN by LH founder took to Instagram on Wednesday to wish the star a happy 35th birthday by sharing a photo of the doting couple dressed elegantly while gazing into each other's eyes.

Close your eyes and cover your ears, Steve Harvey, because we’re about to dive deeply into the star-crossed love story between Michael B. Jordan, 34, and his queen, Lori Harvey, 25! The couple, having been together just over a year, are already dropping plenty of PDA online and pet names like “babydaddy.” Their whirlwind romance has left the public with bated breath, as they’re not only super-hot together, but there is clearly something magical going on between them. In a time when we are forced to social distance and it is harder to meet new people (oh hey, I’m single, so sexy people, get at me!), watching their romance unfold not only is exhilarating to see but gives us hope that we, too, can perhaps find someone who clicks with us just as well.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticGeorgian writer-director-producer Giga Agladze has been a musician, a documentarian and Caucasus regional director of the Transcendental Meditation-focused David Lynch Foundation. Yet none of those things has any obvious bearing on, or makes much sense of, his debut directorial feature—apart from Lynch being on board as a prominently billed executive producer.Shot in 2019 Tbilisi with a largely British cast, “The Other Me” has Jim Sturgess as a man whose sudden-onset blindness is sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical, sometimes both.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticThe sense of a city as a complex, ailing ecosystem is rendered with unusual vividness in “All That Breathes.” Shaunak Sen’s documentary has no formal interviews, onscreen text or omniscient narrator to provide relevant stats on Delhi, where air pollution is reportedly twelve times worse than in Beijing, which ranks second on the global list. Instead, the environmental impact is felt on the microcosmic level of two resident brothers dedicated to urban bird rescue.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticThings like drinking games and “RiffTrax” were invented for movies like “In the Forest,” which are very bad but need a little participatory help to become so-bad-they’re-good. This quasi-horror tale of bickering vacationers running afoul of disturbed locals strings together various well-worn clichés with a notable lack of suspense, plausibility and style, while excelling in the realm of characters behaving like complete idiots. Simultaneous with streaming-platforms release on Jan.

THE GOLDEN PALACE ON HULUEvery queer person of a certain age has at least one friend obsessed with The Golden Girls, to the point they can recite dialogue from any number of episodes verbatim. Bet they can’t do the same when it comes to The Golden Palace.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticThough not mandatory, a stint of missionary service is common among young Mormons, with men and (to a lesser extent) women mostly between 18 and 21 sent to LDS outposts around the world for evangelical work by the thousands each year. They comprise the most public face of a church still regarded by many outsiders as secretive and strange, and thus are an object of natural curiosity, if also some popular ridicule.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticRace, class and cultural divides are probed with intriguing understatement in “God’s Country.” Julian Higgins’ first feature can be taken as a drama with thriller elements or a low-key thriller with atypical dramatic nuance, working either way as a quietly effective balance between genre, social issue and character study elements. Based on a James Lee Burke story, it stars Thandiwe Newton as a college professor whose fish-out-of-water status in rural Montana is exacerbated when she runs afoul of trespassing working-class hunters.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticUnstoppable force meets immovable object in “To the End.” Rachel Lears’ documentary inspires in its portrait of youthful activists organizing to push impactful climate-change policies into American political reality — and exasperates in the resistance with which that urgent quest is greeted on both sides of the entrenched-power aisle. Covering several years of fast-moving events, this Sundance premiere is too exclusively U.S.-focused to be particularly viable for offshore programmers, but its topicality should stir sales interest on home turf.Like the director’s last feature “Knock Down the House,” about the 2018 Congressional election, this one also throws a spotlight on New York state candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticThe fear of seemingly harmless strangers that’s heightened during our era of online “relationships” (not to mention COVID) is cannily exploited in actor-turned-writer-director Christian Tafdrup’s “Speak No Evil.” Building on the thorny couple dynamics of his prior features “Parents” and “A Horrible Woman,” this excruciatingly slow-burn thriller has a young Danish family befriended on holiday by a Dutch clan, only to belatedly realize these new BFFs might be hazardous to their health.Tafdrup’s squirm-inducing tale is premiering in Sundance’s Midnight section, and should find ready berth among genre fans, with strong potential for remake bids. (Distribution rights have already been secured by horror streaming service Shudder.) At the same time, its all-too-palpable cruelty will repel some viewers, in the same way such prior atypical horrors as the original “Wolf Creek” and both editions of “Funny Games” did.
