‘Assassin’ Review: Bruce Willis’ Farewell Film Doesn’t Hold a Candle to His Career Highs - Variety

Image
It has been rather bewildering to witness no less than two dozen low-budget action movies involving Bruce Willis being churned out over the last three years. That legacy-dimming run ends with "Assassin," which arrives almost exactly one annum after his family announced a retirement due to diagnosis of cognitive disorder aphasia (and, later, frontotemporal dementia). Like nearly every preceding opus featuring the erstwhile global superstar in roles of prominent billing but little screentime, this rote genre exercise is little more than a time-killer, and as such a regrettable close to a significant career. Saban Films is releasing it to U.S. theaters, digital and VOD platforms on March 31. It is … um, sometime in the near future, somewhere or other. Alexa (Nomzamo Mbatha) and Sebastian (Mustafa Shakir) are a married couple both in the U.S. Army, though they get to see each other less than they'd like between separate tours of duty. An unhappy reunion o...

Butta Bomma on Netflix: The Telugu remake of Kappela is winning hearts on OTT - Ottplay

Image
Butta Bomma was one of the most popular songs from Allu Arjun's film Ala Vaikunthapuramlo. The makers of the film, Sithara Entertainments, registered the title of their film on the song's name and introduced Anikha Surendran as the main lead. The film is the remake of the Malayalam hit Kappela and was made in Telugu with Arjun Das. Well, the film did not find an audience at the theaters and was out in no time. Well, the film is now streaming on Netflix for the last few days and is getting a wide reception from the viewers. The village drama has already clocked millions of minutes and has stood second in India on Netflix. This shows how much the OTT audience is waiting for the film to watch. Butta Bomma The solid reception to films like Butta Bomma also gives an idea that the family audience is not interested to watch such films with not many popular faces on the big screen but are eager to catch them up when they get released on the OTT platform. Butta Bomma is one such film th...

My childhood brush with Sylvester Stallone as a 'Rocky II' extra - New York Post

Image
Growing up in Philadelphia in the '70s, Rocky was royalty.  I don't remember the first time I heard his name, the first time I saw the original "Rocky" or the first time I heard those "Gonna Fly Now" horns. Rocky Balboa was as Philly as cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and the Liberty Bell. He always just existed in the City of Brotherly Love that I knew as a little shorty — back when I went by Chucky instead of Chuck. When word went around my elementary school that they were looking for children to be extras in "Rocky II" — after the first "Rocky" was a box-office smash and beat out such classics as "All the President's Men," "Network" and "Taxi Driver" for the Best Picture Oscar in 1977 — I was ready for my close-up. And as "Creed III," opening Friday, continues the "Rocky" movie legacy — even sans Sylvester Stallone — i...

Her Bounty Is Boundless - JSTOR Daily

Image
When playwright William Shakespeare invented Juliet, the protagonist of his famous romantic tragedy, he crafted a timeless literary figure. Obviously, the great Bard could not foresee the advances in technology that would usher Romeo and Juliet beyond his native London, nor could he predict how many actors would play her. But whether in a dramatic staging, Hollywood film, or a jukebox musical, every actor who takes on Juliet faces the same harrowing challenge: persuading the audience that she is the young, headstrong, devoted, and hopelessly-in-love heiress of an at-war noble house, all while reciting, "My bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite," and other iconic Shakespeare selections. As boundless as Juliet's blossoming love for Romeo are the calls to cast her. Romeo and Juliet is one of the greatest ongoing franchises, and like the characters of Hamlet or Lady Macbeth or even more modern f...

Pirates of the Caribbean: Keira Knightley breaks silence on comeback - Express

Image
Pirates of the Caribbean fans have long been waiting for news about the next Disney swashbuckling adventure, and if it will be hitting the big screen. Everything ground to a half after Johnny Depp was dropped from the series by Disney when he was accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. With no real news on the horizon, the actors have continued to work on new projects, including Keira Knightley, who just starred in the movie The Boston Strangler. However, she has now revealed the Pirates series is firmly not in her sights. "It sort of launched me out of a rocket, really," Knightley said. "As far as my career went. That year [2002] was Bend It Like Beckham, Love Actually and Pirates of the Caribbean." She added: "So, I'm being asked about all three. Unfortunately, I was 16 and 17. So I don't really remember very much of it, but yes, it certainly was a very big year for me." While Knightley was reluctant to commit to rejoining...

Oz the Great and Powerful Reminds Us of the Worst Oz Has to Offer - Paste Magazine

Image
When I pressed play on the used Blu-ray of Oz the Great and Powerful that the record store was all too happy to give away, two trailers rolled before the menu. The first was Gore Verbinski's desiccated Lone Ranger adaptation; the second was for ABC's Once Upon a Time mecha-meta-series. All three titles share one crucial thing in common: They are Disney branding itself onto nostalgic properties of the American cultural landscape. But while the two trailers are for properties that Disney owns outright or through its subsidiaries, Oz the Great and Powerful exists in a swirling tornado of copyright and public domain. According to the behind-the-scenes documentary "Walt Disney and the Road to Oz" included on the home release, Disney had wanted to tell his version of the Oz story since the studio began. But when MGM dropped a house on his plans and snagged the rights to L. Frank Baum's first Oz book in the 1930s, Walt could only wait. Though he later bought the rig...
