‘Nadia, Butterfly’ Film Review: Canadian Cannes Movie Takes an Intimate Look at a Troubled Athlete

Far fairer than Artemis Fowl, the poorly-received, previous live-action/CGI hybrid to be rerouted from theaters to Disney+, The One and Only Ivan is a notably muted, soulful portrait of a silverback gorilla who re-evaluates his seemingly contented life as a mall circus performer.

Jimmy Fallon on Monday poked fun at HBO Max after the streamer added another social context warning on a film, this time the Mel Brooks' classic Blazing Saddles. In the bit, The Tonight Show host played Clyde Darwell of the fauxCherished Cinema Classics channel and introduced the fake 1946 film Passion on the Prairie, which he said was a beloved picture and box office success.

Jill Goldsmith Co-Business EditorNew York Governor Andrew Cuomo Monday gave gyms a green light to reopen August 24 following recent nods to bowling allies, museums and malls but is still leaving movie theaters, which he called less essential and higher risk, in the dark.That’s both literally and figuratively. He gave no indication of a reopening timetable for the key movie going market.“It’s the level of risk.

The title may sound incendiary, something left over from the Russ Meyer era, but Danny Wolf’s Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies turns out to be informative and even-handed as well as entertaining. Meyer’s movies are inevitably included in this freewheeling documentary survey of nudity from the silent era to the present.

Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos recently celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary, but that’s not all they have to be thankful for.  The Live with Kelly and Ryan host 49, and the Riverdale actor, 49, have also raised three children together, Michael, 23, Joaquin, 17, and their daughter, Lola, 19.And as the famous couple continues to make headlines, for all the right reasons, there’s another star emerging from the Ripa/Consuelos household.Their stunning teenage daughter - who has made

Jason Derulo is opening up about the hopes he had for the Cats movie.

Kelly Ripa‘s clap-back game is too strong. The talk show host, 49, who never backs down from an internet troll, had the best response to a critic who didn’t favor Live with Kelly & Ryan‘s new show trailer, released on August 10. The new teaser (seen below) shows Kelly and Ryan Seacrest getting ready for the show at home — which is where they’ve been filming since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down in-studio production.

Serving as a much-belated sequel to the 2007 Australian sleeper hit “Black Water,” director Andrew Traucki’s B-movie influenced follow-up, the blandly titled but effectively executed “Black Water: Abyss” is lean killer crocodile film that upgrades the appropriately lo-fi aesthetic of the original, replacing the expansive swamp setting with a claustrophobic cave descent.

Dade Hayes Finance EditorLionsgate film chief Joe Drake said the decision to skip theaters and make horror movie Antebellum a premium video-on-demand release does not mean theaters are fading from the scene.“I would love to see every one of our movies released theatrically,” the motion picture group chairman said during Lionsgate’s quarterly earnings call with Wall Street analysts.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticDirected by former competitive swimmer Pascal Plante and featuring a two-time Olympic athlete in the title role, “Nadia, Butterfly” qualifies as both a sports movie and not-a-sports movie — which is to say, Plante’s aloof, oddly unengaging second feature takes a backstage look at a defining moment in a swimmer’s career, but it does so in a way that violates nearly all the rules of the game.For starters, the film opens with the final race of Canadian swimmer Nadia

Jeff Vasishta Jennifer Lawrence has had plenty of success on the big screen, but not so much with Big Apple real estate. The Academy Award winning actor (“The Hunger Games,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) shoveled out $15.6 million for her glass-walled penthouse condo on the Upper East Side in 2016, just as the Manhattan market peaked.

The feverish atmosphere that grips an Olympic host city is so vividly suggested in French Canadian writer-director Pascal Plante's Nadia, Butterfly that you almost forget Tokyo 2020 has been postponed a year to next summer.

Maggie Lee Chief Asia Film CriticWho would have thought a romantic comedy on the pain of being different could become such ironic and timely viewing in a global pandemic? In “I Weirdo,” a kooky and innovative debut by Taiwanese writer-director Liao Ming-yi, a couple with OCD trying to fit in to so-called “normal” society now looks like social-distancing heroes in our Covid-hit, locked-down lives. Shot and edited by Liao using the iPhone XS Max, the production looks no less vibrant for it.

Richard Kuipers “A Life Turned Upside Down: My Dad’s an Alcoholic” casts a damning eye on the pernicious role alcohol plays in the working careers and social lives of Japanese men. Narrated by the innermost thoughts of a daughter during the 25 years she spends watching her father drink himself to death, Kenji Katagari’s second feature cleverly plays like a quirky little TV sitcom about an ordinary middle-class family before moving into darker territory.
