Review: Gun & Powder at Signature Theatre

“The Banker” is one of the rare movies centered on a bank that isn’t about robbing it. That doesn’t mean the film is short on scams or deceptions.

For Ulrich Thomsen’s sophomore feature, he presents a social satire in which a German sausage maker takes on a group of white, Christian men in the small American town of Gutterbee.

More American Nightmare than American Dream, Lorcan Finnegan’s Vivarium sends Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots down the rabbit hole and into a suburban hell – a paranoid, nightmarish sophomore feature that channels its inner Twilight Zone.

FAITH is a five-member up-and-coming J-pop band whose latest track, "Party All Night," has been getting huge airplay.

“Jazz is Paris and Paris is jazz,” spoke-sang Malcolm McLaren a quarter-century ago, though the statement is valid as ever today: Since the end of World War I, when a number of African American soldiers settled in Paris — and still others left their music behind — the city has become a kind of world capital for jazz, with clubs still packing in audiences around town.

The fertile fantasy of writer-director-composer Sally Potter, memorably on display in her adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s multi-lives tale Orlando,comes disappointingly close to straight family drama in The Roads Not Taken, in which a working daughter spends a difficult day caring for her senile father.

Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of criminal sexual acts in the first degree and rape in the third degree, USA Today reports. Weinstein's New York County trial covered five criminal counts, including two of predatory sexual assault. The jury found him not guilty of predatory sexual assault, a charge that could have resulted in a life sentence. The jurors took five days of deliberation before reaching their verdict on Monday morning.

At its most straightforward and deceptively simple level, The American Sector is a catalog: a regathering of some of the scattered pieces of a once-formidable whole. Dismantled in 1989 with profound political repercussions and symbolic power, the wall that separated East and West Berlin for 28 years lives on, in new and no less symbolic ways, in locations around the world.

True-life stories of international intrigue are usually dramatized first in their native countries and then later adapted into American films. The reverse has proven true for the dramatic events depicted in Michael Bully Herbig's film about a daring 1979 escape by two families from East Germany via hot air balloon.

It's the beginning of the end! 

Lewis Morgan is determined his move to Inter Miami will turn into the American Dream.

Back in 2016, Matthew A. Cherry put out a call on Twitter looking for 3D artists to help with a project. On Sunday, Cherry was standing on the stage of the Dolby Theatre celebrating his Oscar win for best animated short for “Hair Love.”

Hooo boy The Bachelor is getting real now! Peter Weber has his final four: Hannah Ann, Victoria F., Kelsey, and Madi. Natasha and Kelley got sent home. The last two voices of reason are gone. The drama is about to get even more dramatic.
