This post contains spoilers for Arrow. After revealing himself as the Green Arrow, Oliver Queen finds himself with a hefty sentence for vigilantism. Slabside Maximum Security Prison isn’t the type one breaks out of anytime soon, but the former hero isn’t currently in any hurry to make his way to the outside. Though every day he spends behind bars is a day that Ricardo Diaz can get to his wife and son, breaking out would remove the very immunity that protects both Felicity and William, and the rest of Team Arrow. So, Oliver Queen serves his time. He does so quietly, despite being surrounded by men that he put in the prison himself. Oliver silently suffers threats, beatings and more in hopes that his sentence will be reduced and he’ll be back to his family. Unfortunately, both Oliver and Felicity start the season with a tough lesson: sometimes the hardest fight is one that you don’t engage in at all. Seems safe to imagine that would be especially true if … [Read more...] about ARROW 7.01 Review “Inmate 4587”
Sundance 5th wheel reviews
Reviewed in brief: ‘Chloe & Theo,’ ‘A Walk in the Woods,’ ‘Learning to Drive’
CHLOE & THEO As the summer release season scrapes the bottom of the barrel, you may still have room on your commemorative shelf of the year’s lamest oddities. It is about as exciting as watching a gerbil on an exercise wheel. Dakota Johnson, the only admirable element in “50 Shades of Grey,” does what she can to elevate this threadbare indie, with worse results. She plays Chloe, a homeless New Yorker who welcomes Inuit newcomer Theo (Theo Ikummaq). The street urchin digs his pacifist attitude, volunteering to slip him past United Nations security to offer the warning about global warming that his elders have sent him to deliver. Mira Sorvino plays a socialite with a dramatic secret who joins their quest, André De Shields appears as a ghetto know-it-all who tries to navigate the crusade. By the end of the film, Theo hopes to go home to the igloo and you wish him luck. Borrowing themes from “Candide,” it makes us wonder why bad things happen to good … [Read more...] about Reviewed in brief: ‘Chloe & Theo,’ ‘A Walk in the Woods,’ ‘Learning to Drive’

Netflix, Amazon Look Past Sundance for Their Own Blockbusters
Following the Jan. 20 premiere of the Sundance sex abuse drama The Tale, Amazon motion picture head Ted Hope expressed serious interest, dubbing it his favorite film of the festival. The Jennifer Fox-helmed film, seen as an awards-season vehicle for star Laura Dern, also dovetailed with the zeitgeist #MeToo movement, with its narrative centered on how a rape survivor copes. But 24 hours after the film's debut, Amazon backed off, leaving HBO with one less competitor as it made a $7 million offer and an Emmy campaign pitch for Dern.Likewise, Netflix was one of the finalists for the festival's biggest catch, Sam Levinson's Assassination Nation, making an eight-figure offer and hanging in until the final hours of deal-making. Still, the streaming giant was beaten by upstart Neon and Joe and Anthony Russo's newly launched AGBO's $10 million bid, which guaranteed a wide theatrical release.By the festival's end Jan. 28, neither Amazon nor Netflix had bought a single title, a head-scratching … [Read more...] about Netflix, Amazon Look Past Sundance for Their Own Blockbusters
