‘They’re Here’ Review: A Small Group Of UFO Believers Don’t Make For A Captivating Film [Tribeca]

Rafa Sales Ross Guest Contributor Renowned British filmmaker Mike Leigh believes that if the subjects of his 2018 historical drama “Peterloo” were alive to see the upcoming U.K. general elections they would be “not only horrified but mystified” about “people procrastinating about whether to vote and seeing justification in not voting, which is what’s happening right now.” While in conversation about his career with Chief Executive of Film London Adrian Wooton at the Mediterrane Film Festival, the director emphasized that his retelling of the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 is a film “about democracy” and felt it was vital to highlight the importance of voting ahead of the elections.

It’s Austria, circa 1750, and we open on a woman, devoid of emotion, as she quietly and chillingly casts her newborn over the side of a waterfall. This is how the creepy “The Devil’s Bath” begins.

There exists a moment, perhaps several, in director Sandi DuBowki’s documentary “Sabbath Queen” where shaky attempts to solidify focus on one subject as numerous struggles for screentime become blindingly apparent and the project threatens to spiral out of control. That’s not to say there isn’t a compelling narrative throughout, only that there are too many, and in such a chaotic effort, topics become somewhat diluted to varying degrees, and meaningful quotes from any of the frequent talking heads start to lose their impact.

“Wise Guy: David Chase and the Sopranos,” premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on June 13 and revealed how the late Gandolfini battled demons while playing a mob boss on the iconic HBO series.

Even a quarter-century later, box office victory still tastes sweet for Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal.

Courtney Howard The One Who Got Away is a romantic notion that’s been widely propagated by pop culture cinema. And for good reason, as heartfelt drama and compelling conflicts arise authentically from these confrontations with fate. Director-co-writer Baltasar Kormákur’s “Touch,” based on Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson’s novel of the same name, expands on this swoon-worthy idea, elegantly crafting an achingly poignant story centered on an elderly man searching for his true love amidst a time of uncertainty.

“Brat Pack” – a collection of popular young actors in the 1980s — have made it clear that they weren’t, and in some cases, still aren’t, fans of the group nickname.The phenomenon started with the 1985 New York magazine cover by David Blum. He had a night out in Los Angeles with Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson, and decided to coin the now-iconic phrase which was inspired by the “Rat Pack,” a group of entertainers (including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) from the 1940s and 1950s.Estevez, Lowe, Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy make up the Brat Pack, as they all appeared in the ensemble of classic ‘80s films such as “St.

he told Us Weekly. “Brats” is about the famous group of ‘80s stars, their memories of their heyday and their gripes with that moniker. The circle of stars associated with the label are Emilio Estevez, Ringwald, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Jon Cryer and McCarthy.(Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr.

What defines country music in America today? The new doc “Rebel Country” seems, at first, singularly focused on this question, but the film quickly makes clear that it has much more on its mind to consider, such as what led country music to where it is today and the challenges that many singers in its space have faced. It is a film that doesn’t hold your hand to tell the hard truths about country music’s evolution and history.

Inspired in part by 1970s experimental filmmaker Nikos Nikolaidis and jumpstarted in earnest in 2009 by Yorgos Lanthimos with “Dogtooth,” and perhaps to a lesser extent Panos H. Koutras’ “A Woman’s Way,” the so-called Greek Weird Wave movement quickly spread like wildfire in the country.

Boosters of California‘s film and TV tax credit say that the program would be at risk if a proposed initiative makes it to the ballot and passes in November — albeit that prospect is being challenged by the measure’s backers.

Roger Federer’s 2022 retirement at age 41 certainly unleashed a tidal wave of mourning.The Swiss ace — renowned for his graceful movement, easy power and class — dominated courts around the world for more than two decades.So, when the 20-time winner of the four major tournaments put down his racket for good, the mood wasn’t so much the changing of the guard as the death of the king. For many, Roger Federer was tennis.“It’s been a wild journey,” Federer told the audience at the SVA Theatre in Chelsea.

Tribeca Film Festival, never-before-heard audio recordings of the “Cleopatra” star, who died in 2011, reveal her true, sometimes brutal feelings about her seven husbands. She says Conrad Hilton Jr. abused her while she was pregnant, and that actor Michael Wilding wasn’t dominant enough for the duo to survive, according to People.But Taylor is particularly harsh about hubby No.

True cinephilia lives outside the confines of your front door, way past the boundaries of your home and native language. So, for all the talk of Martin Scorsese as a preeminent master of American cinema, it’s always been heartening to know the filmmaker and cineaste has appreciated all aspects of international cinema, from the East to the West and beyond.

“Hey Mom, did you feel emotional the first time you drove in Sacramento?” asked Saoirse Ronan’s titular character in “Lady Bird” during an impassioned final monologue that makes the streets of the Californian capital glow. The city provides a similar site of reconciliation between a pair who’s grown gradually estranged in Michael Angarano’s “Sacramento.” It feels emotional, too, albeit in a more familiar way.

Earlier this year, a documentary by the name of “Sugarcane” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and presented audiences with a harrowing look at the Canadian Indian residential school system and the emotional fallout stemming from years of horrendous abuse behind these doors. For those who may have bore witness to such a film, there’s an unusual sense of recurrence in the topics unveiled throughout “Missing From Fire Trail Road,“ one which starts as what could be initially presumed to be a simple look at a missing persons case from several years prior but eventually flows into strangely familiar territory.
