In the competitive world of feature animation, it takes more than an entertaining yarn and a bit of slapstick comedy to cut through the noise. To make an impact at the box office in 2018—and at the Oscars, heading now into its 91st go-round—filmmakers are called upon to pursue a new standard of excellence, going back to the drawing board with each new effort, and finding exciting ways to break the mold. Leading the charge as regular contenders for Best Animated Feature since the category was created in 2001, Walt Disney Studios , and its Bay area subsidiary Pixar , once again enter the field of 25 films, with two projects that embody the category’s ideals. First, there’s Incredibles 2 , Brad Bird’s return to the groundbreaking superhero world he established in 2004. Sending the Parr family off on new adventures (with Elastigirl out chasing runaway trains, and Mr. Incredible taking a backseat), the film easily achieved hard-to-get hit sequel status, setting a record … [Read more...] about Oscars: Can Anyone Break Disney & Pixar’s Animated Feature Streak In 2019?

Rating: 1.5 /5 Star Cast: Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjana Sanghi, Jackie Shroff, Prachee Shah Paandya, Prakash Raj Director: Kapil Verma The bullets in Rashtra Kavach: OM are as redundant as the film's plot. One of them pierces the hero's brain but voila, he is only down with amnesia. Another one hits a character on her shoulder and she is found to be perfectly standing besides the hero in the next frame. No wonder, the villain instructs his boys to hit the main protagonist with guns rather than using them to shoot him! "I am not sure about death Sir, but I am death sure about Om," Jai Rathore (Ashutosh Rana) tells his senior in one of the scenes in the film. Well, we agree with him after a full-blown assault on our senses for around two hours and fifteen minutes. What's Yay: Aditya Roy Kapur's perfectly-chiselled abs, an action scene or two What's Nay: Story, direction Story Rashtra Kavach: OM begins with a covert operation on a … [Read more...] about Rashtra Kavach: OM Movie Review: Aditya Roy Kapur-Sanjana Sanghi’s Actioner Turns Out To Be A Decoy

An “official” biography about late Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts , authorized by both the band and Watts’ family, will arrive this fall. Charlie’s Good Tonight: The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts includes forewords from both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and a prelude from the band’s former manager/producer Andrew Loog Oldham. The book was penned by author-broadcaster Paul Sexton, who has followed the Stones for over 30 years. Charlie’s Good Tonight features new interviews with Jagger, Richards, and Ronnie Wood, as well as “countless” family members, friends, and collaborators to paint a portrait of the very private drummer. Watts died on August 24, 2021, at the age of 80. “Our dear friend Charlie Watts was not just a fantastic drummer but a wonderful person,” the Rolling Stones said in a statement. “He was funny and generous and a man of great taste and we miss him terribly. It’s great that his family have authorized this official biography by Paul … [Read more...] about ‘Official’ Charlie Watts Biography, Authorized by Rolling Stones and Drummer’s Family, on the Way

This post contains full spoilers for the final two episodes of Stranger Things Season Four, which are streaming now on Netflix. Midway through the super-supersized Stranger Things fourth-season finale, “The Piggyback,” Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery), and Robin (Maya Hawke) are climbing a haunted house’s stairway in the Upside Down as part of a complicated plan to keep the hell dimension from breaking through into their own world. They have avoided attention so far, but suddenly Robin wakes up the demonic tentacles that surround them, and within moments, all three teens are pinned to the walls, having the life choked out of them. The scene cuts to another set of characters, leaving the viewer on edge about how (or if, but not really) Nancy and the others will escape what looks like certain doom. A few scenes later, the season’s main villain, Vecna/One/Henry/Mother of Dragons/Breaker of Chains/Cleaner of Carpets (played under at least some of those names by … [Read more...] about ‘Stranger Things’ Season Four Finale: Runnin’ Up That Hill for Two-Plus Hours Isn’t So Fun

“And I got a heart that beats too fast,” Sophie Allison informs us on her third album as Soccer Mommy . “And a shake in my hands and a pain in my back.” The song is called “Feel It All the Time,” a perfect example of her ability at channeling her complicated, contradictory feelings into perfectly crafted pop songs. As on her previous albums, Allison’s métier is tense, dreamily lush Nineties indie rock, with echoes of Liz Phair, Helium, and other artists who specialized in making secret sharing seem like community building. On Sometimes, Forever , every languid lyric and opaque melody feels strategically placed with care and concern. With its hefty bass and foreboding feel, “ Shotgun ” maps out an unhealthy relationship (“I like dessert and alcohol/And watching as you get drunk,” she sings), but when the chorus opens up, it’s like a sunrise after a long, hard night. “Bones” meanders beautifully through its admission of self-doubt, the guitars buzzing, sparkling, and burning … [Read more...] about Soccer Mommy Deepens Her Indie-Rock Brilliance on ‘Sometimes, Forever’

It’s hard to think that any superhero film could qualify as a Hollywood rarity these days but Spider-Man : Into the Spider-Verse is just that. As an animated big-screen adaptation of a comic book superhero the Sony film is on a surprisingly short list. On Thursday the film’s three directors — Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman –were celebrating their shared nomination in the best animated feature film category for the 76th Golden Globe Awards. The competition in the category includes Brad Bird and his Incredibles 2 from the Pixar superhero franchise that took its inspiration from comic books but not any of its characters. The vast majority of superheroes adventures on the big-screen have been live-action films with signature successes imported from comic books, among them Superman (1978), Batman (1989), X-Men (2000), Spider-Man (2002), Iron-Man (2008), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Avengers (2012). It’s not nearly as easy to … [Read more...] about ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ And ‘Incredibles 2’ Offer Animated Argument For Super-Heroes

The Olympic Channel , which NBCUniversal launched five years ago as a destination for its Olympic programming, is going dark on September 30. “In order to best reach our target audiences, we are reevaluating our programming distribution strategy regarding the content that currently airs on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA with our partners at the IOC and USOPC,” an NBC Sports spokesperson said in a statement. “We will be announcing our exciting new plans for Olympic content in the fall.” When it launched in 2017, the Olympic Channel rebranded NBCU’s Universal HD channel. It was a partnership between the media company and the international and U.S. Olympic committees. While it dipped a toe into live Olympic coverage with the Tokyo Games in 2021, mostly the network aired older contests or shows about Olympic athletes. NBCU controls the U.S. media rights of the Olympics through 2032 and the Games have been a key strategic pillar for the company over the past three … [Read more...] about NBCUniversal Will Unplug The Olympic Channel After Five-Year Linear TV Run

EXCLUSIVE : Parisa Fakhri ( SEAL Team ) is the latest recurring cast member announced for What We Do in the Shadows Season 4. The actress will be on the acclaimed comedy series based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s 2014 mockumentary feature for a total of seven episodes.

Cardi B spoke about getting a personal, but still club-ready verse from Kanye West for her new song “Hot Shit” while the rapper was in the thick of a media firestorm earlier this year. In an interview with Zane Lowe on his Apple Music 1 show, Cardi said that Ye gave her the verse “a couple of months ago when he was just all over the media, because of all of the things that were going on.” (Though Cardi obviously didn’t mention any specifics, West’s divorce from Kim Kardashian was at a very contentious peak around February and March.) “I like how his verse it’s personal, but it’s not that personal,” Cardi said. “It’s enjoyable in the clubs that you could be like, ‘Yeah, yeah. You talk your big cash.’ I really love it.” She also talked about her own conversations with West, calling him “such an amazing, sweet person,” and saying she wished more people could chat with him “so they could just see the real him.” To that end, Lowe — who’s interviewed West on a handful … [Read more...] about Cardi B Talks Kanye West’s ‘Personal’ ‘Hot Sh-t’ Verse, Ponders Mystery of His Persona in New Interview
