After Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Zero in 2018, Anushka Sharma took a short break from work. Now, the actress is all set to make a comeback on screen with her upcoming film Chakda Xpress . The film is a biopic on Jhulan Goswami, the former captain of Indian national women's cricket team.

After opening massively in theatres on May 13, Superstar Mahesh Babu's Sarkaru Vaari Paata slowed down immediately on the second day. Due to word-of-mouth and mixed opinions, the movie that had the actor don a never-seen-before mass avatar is struggling to attract viewership. Sarkaru Vaari Paata opened worldwide across 2100 theatres and witnessed one of the biggest openings for Mahesh Babu's films until now. The film's trailer spiked buzz around it as fans enjoyed Mahesh mouthing mass dialogues and looking uber stylish. In addition is Keerthy Suresh, a national award winning actress who befitted the role of Kalavathi with ease. Mahesh Babu and Keerthy Suresh's combination looked fresh and their chemistry worked out on screen. The superstar also shook a leg to one of his career best dance numbers in 'Ma Ma Mahesha', which enthraled the fans. However, despite containing all elements that promised the film to become a hit in commercial formula, the movie is running … [Read more...] about Sarkaru Vaari Paata Day 2 Box Office Collection Worldwide: Divide Talk Slows Down Film’s Collection

About eight years ago, Ricki Lake and her producing partner Abby Epstein resolved to turn a critical eye on hormonal birth control. Their previous documentary , 2008’s The Business of Being Born , emphasized the risks and expense of giving birth in a hospital. This new project would apply that same medical skepticism to ongoing conversations around hormonal contraceptives. “In 1960 the birth control pill was all about progress, but does it still fit with our values today?” Lake and Epstein wondered in the project’s Kickstarter campaign . “Do we look to the tech sector to take on the challenge of providing women with alternatives to the pill?” Like so much content that’s “just asking questions,” The Business of Birth Control seems to have a barely concealed agenda: to steer viewers away from hormonal contraception, and towards the tech-assisted “natural” methods the film ultimately endorses. The documentary — which was released last month along with a $147 “Body Literacy … [Read more...] about The Problem With Ricki Lake’s ‘The Business of Birth Control’

It starts with one of them casually saying, “Write what you know” — it may be Mark McKinney, slightly leaning back in his chair and staring at the ceiling, or it might be Bruce McCulloch, who’s wandering around the conference room, checking his phone as it charges and idly munching on a pastry. Whoever said it first, it’s definitely Kevin McDonald who quickly jumps in and, as if on cue, immediately chants, “Write what you know!” He says it again, at which point Dave Foley joins in as well. “Write what you know!” “Write what you know!” McKinney and McCulloch, both grinning, start singing along as well: “Write what you know! Write what you know! Write what you know!” Scott Thompson is too busy laughing to harmonize at first, until he finally composes himself, clears his throat, and then beautifully bellows out, in the most operatic tenor imaginable: “Wriiiiite! Whaaat! Yoooouuuu! Knoooooowwwwwwww !!!” Minutes before, the legendary sketch-comedy quintet the Kids in the Hall had … [Read more...] about The Kids in the Hall Are Back — Older, Slightly Less Angry and Still Incredibly F–king Funny

It’s one of busiest opening weeks in some time for indie releases with Neon ( Pleasure ), Bleecker Street ( Montana Story ), IFC Midnight ( The Innocents ) and Roadside Attractions ( Family Camp ) in theaters — even as the imminent closure of the Landmark Pico underscores just how arthouses are struggling to win back core demos.

Getty President Biden has been trying to take credit for lowering inflation, or offer suggestions on how to reduce it -- but in both cases, Jeff Bezos is calling BS ... in pretty public terms. The Amazon founder fired off a couple of scathing tweets this weekend aimed at the Biden administration, or in some cases ... at Joe himself. This is all about the sky-high prices we're all experiencing at the moment, and Jeff doesn't think the Prez is being forthright. The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead. Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection. https://t.co/ye4XiNNc2v — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) May 14, 2022 @JeffBezos On Friday, he called for the newly-formed Disinformation Governing Board -- which is supposed to combat fake news, etc. -- to fact-check one of Biden's own tweets, which … [Read more...] about Jeff Bezos Takes Aim at Biden Administration Over Inflation Tweets

There’s a scene in A Prayer Before Dawn , the film adaptation of Billy Moore’s prison memoir, in which the convict hits rock bottom. An Englishman incarcerated in a rough Thai jailhouse dubbed the “Bangkok Hilton,” he’s strung out on drugs and has nearly killed a man. Before Moore was a prisoner, however, he was a bare-knuckle brawler. So, in the hopes of finding a reason to stay alive, he visits the facility’s gym and pleads his case to the Muay Thai team’s skeptical trainer. “I want to box,” he insists. “I’m a boxer. Just let me show you … I can fight. I need to fight.” The urgency of the moment comes courtesy of the young man playing Moore: a 29-year-old actor named Joe Cole. You may not know the name, but you’ve seen his face in movies like Green Room and Thank You For Your Service; in four seasons of the cult-TV crime drama Peaky Blinders; and the Black Mirror episode “Hang the DJ.” There’s something of his personal ethos in that scene that makes it stick out as … [Read more...] about How Joe Cole Went From ‘Peaky Blinders’ to Thai-Prison Kickboxer
