She always brought so much to the table and made us think outside the box. She challenged stereotypes, and she always made sure we were being true." RELATED: Michael B.

Or the straightforward affect of a child describing the day his family fled violence in Syria — a child who has, in therapy, plainly and with little filter produced a crayon illustration of that event, and of bodies without heads that represent the bodies of relatives. There’s no distance in a family’s living room, with younger children sprawled on the floor doing their homework as their older brother collapses on the couch with fatigue; and even less distance when, at precisely the moment a viewer might being to wonder about the whereabouts of this family’s father, a close-up on the oldest child’s face, with all its world-weariness, provides an answer to unutterable question.  … [Read more...] about ‘Notturno’ Is Not Journalism, But Gianfranco Rosi’s Movie Investigates the Heart of the Middle East

After starring in all four Hunger Games movies together, as Gale and Haymitch, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson are reuniting for a much different movie entitled The Duel. In the beloved Hunger Games franchise, both Gale and Haymitch were on the same side, as they fought to take down an evil tyrant, but The Duel pits these actors against each other, as you can see in the first trailer. Lionsgate Premiere has set a June 24 release date for The Duel, which puts it up against 20th Century Fox's Independence Day: Resurgence, STX's Free State of Jones and Sony's The Shallows. … [Read more...] about The Duel Trailer Reunites Liam Hemsworth & Woody Harrelson

It's also possible that this will never happen. The director has a habit of thinking out loud, and is notorious for announcing projects that never come to fruition, like a spin-off about the Vega Brothers or the Kill Bill cut that brings both volumes together for The Whole Bloody Affair. We're just saying, don't hold your breath. … [Read more...] about Quentin Tarantino Plans 4-Hour Django Unchained TV Miniseries
