Image

From the streets to your streams: What makes Filipino hip-hop truly Filipino? - Rappler

Image
There have been many terms to try and encapsulate the booming Filipino hip-hop scene, one of which is " kalye hip-hop," which has its origins in a Spotify playlist that describes itself as "the very best of Filipino hip-hop." The playlist has almost 800,000 likes on the platform and features some of the most popular rappers in the scene, such as Nik Makino, Al James, and Shanti Dope. "People just call it the way they see it," shares rapper and co-founder of Lightning In A Bottle (LIAB) Studios WAIIAN. Besides being a member of KARTELL'EM, one of the more popular rap collectives in the local scene, he co-founded independent hip-hop label LIAB Studios with COO Misha Salud in 2020.

Image
Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's last film, "Dil Bechara," an official remake of "The Fault in Our Stars," will bow directly, free of charge, on the Disney Plus Hotstar streaming service on July 24. Rajput died of suspected suicide on June 14, aged 34. Following the actor's death, Bollywood has been riven by unverified accusations of nepotism that allegedly led to Rajput's death. A collective outpouring of grief amongst his fans has solidified into outrage at the manner of his demise. Several change.org online petitions, with a combined 2 million signatures, now seek a detailed investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation, the state government of Maharashtra, and other government bodies. Some of the petitions name prominent Bollywood studios and key industry actors, producers and directors. "Dil Bechara," is produced by Fox Star Studios India.

SoundTRAX: "Casablanca" - Louisville Public Media

Image
This may be the oldest film I've featured as a SoundTRAX selection, but when it's one of the best movies of all time, a true classic, I make no apologies. It was on this day in 1942 that Casablanca was released. And I don't care if you're 18 or 80 it is required viewing. If you're one of those people who has an unnatural aversion to black and white films, get over it. It's Humphrey Bogart at his tuxedoed, moody best. It's a flawless Ingrid Bergman who was born to be fought over by warring men and nations. It's Paul Henreid , whose so smooth and valiant you almost root for him over Bogey. Almost. And don't get me started on the best character actor of all time, Claude Rains , playing the greatest pseudo-villain in filmdom, stealing scenery and blithely tossing out some of the most clever dialogue ever written. Even if you (shamefully) have never seen it, you've quoted it: the usual suspects. We'll always have Paris. Here's looking at y...

Writer-Director Tony Giglio On Making ‘Doom: Annihilation’ - Forbes

Image
Doom: Annihilation just hit Blu-ray and digital, and if you've ever enjoyed a Doom game, it's a pretty good time. Annihilation has a low budget compared to most action-horror films set in space, but it's faithful to the spirit of id's monumental series. Despite a poorly received teaser trailer and a gauntlet of budgetary pressures, the movie's writer-director, Tony Giglio, has been pleasantly surprised by the level of interest in the project. He's also gotten a taste of the internet's tendency to overreact when an established story gets a new interpretation—one that doesn't just adhere to a checklist of fannish demands. I called up Giglio at his SoCal home to chat about angels, Imps, the moviemaking business, and the risks of opening a portal to Hell. Alex Kane: Are you excited for this movie to come out? Tony Giglio: You know, yes. Clearly it's been a long time in the making. The timeline was that I pitched this, originally, to Un...

John Woo's Hard Target Remains a Wild Ride 30 Years Later - Syfy

Image
When you think of John Woo films made in the United States, you probably don't think of  Hard Target  first. It's not a dig at the film, it's just that Woo would later go on to make things like  Mission: Impossible 2  and, of course,  Face/Off  for American studios. It's hard to compete for the spotlight with  Face/Off , but as action fans know,  Hard Target  is still very much worth your time. Why you should go back and revisit John Woo's Hard Target Released 30 years ago this month, the film marks Woo's first trip to America to direct a film for a major U.S. studio (Universal Pictures, in this case) and therefore marks an important transition point in a stellar career. Woo was already a world-renowned action master thanks to films like  The Killer ,  A Better Tomorrow , and  Hard Boiled . No one on the planet could shoot gunfights quite like John...

After some time, though, those euphoric feelings faded, and you've now found yourself reminiscing on the good times instead of looking forward to the future. If this sounds like you, you may be wondering: Am I falling out of love?

Amber Tamblyn's Django Unchained Cameo Explained - Screen Rant

Summary Amber Tamblyn's cameo in Django Unchained is a nod to her actor father, who also appears in the film. Tamblyn suggested the idea of her father appearing in the movie, which was approved by Quentin Tarantino. Tamblyn and Tarantino have a close friendship, with Tamblyn even convincing Tarantino to speak out against Harvey Weinstein.
