The Last Victim, stars Prime Time Emmy Award® Winner Ron Perlman (Hellboy franchise, Beauty and the Beast), Ali Larter (Legally Blonde, Resident Evil franchise, Final Destination franchise), and Ralph Ineson (The Green Knight, The Witch, Chernobyl). Naveen A. Chathapuram's directorial debut is a stylish, white-knuckle neo-western set in rural americana, based on a story by Chathapuram and Doc Justin, and written by Ashley James Louis. The Last Victim follows a group of modern-day outlaws (led by Ineson), pursued by an aging sheriff (Perlman), who deal with the fallout of a crime gone wrong in the harsh landscape of the American Southwest. When a young professor (Larter) and her husband cross paths with the gang, they are drawn into a chain of vengeance where morality is ambiguous and survival is the only priority. With a deep understanding of the psychological and sociological underpinnings of people sidelined and disillusioned by the promise of the American Dream, Chathapuram crafts a unique vision of survival in the wilderness, exemplified by Larter's raw performance. Chathapuram previously produced Ca$h starring Sean Bean and Chris Hemsworth for Roadside Attractions, Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn, and executive produced Netflix's Brown Nation.

Learning how to control your emotions requires the heart to master the path with a term I call Hidden Speak. I don't like taking what seems to be a bad day into other circles of people. Rather on relying on dumping my weight onto others, the daily discipline is to utilize the strength of Hidden Speak. Learning how to turn negative darkness into a positive approach. On this episode Zoe accuses me of being fake.

May 20, 2022 I'm sure. Not a good place. Those moments when you still take a leap. Our heart might fear but instinct says to do it anyway. A coworker asked about my upbeat attitude. I honestly replied, “Is that what you really see?” What they weren't experiencing was the horrid pain from a torn Achilles tendon. How was this guy with extremely long hair still up beat in ways that helped others find their own happiness through laughter? Living the Black Belt Path. Winning is a choice. Sure, I could fall to the pain in my leg. I could complain about the way real people mistreat those in retail. My choice is to embrace the moment by being in control of what is right now in the atmosphere. It's not an easy walk. But after a while you begin to recognize what being negative does to your entire presence. Winning is a choice.

Castro's Spies tells the largely unknown story of an unofficial Cuban civil war fought for decades across the Florida Straits. This Irish documentary is a fascinating narrative of intrigue, intelligence and espionage, told in first-hand testimony from those that lived this remarkable story; from the spies and their wives, to the groups they infiltrated in the U.S. and the law enforcement agencies that would eventually dismantle their spy cell. The film features real FBI surveillance footage of the spies in action and never-before-seen colour archive of the Cuban Revolution. The 'Cuban Five' trial remains the largest multiple defendant espionage case ever prosecuted in the U.S. The most serious charges were conspiracy to commit espionage and conspiracy to commit murder. The arrest of the Cuban 5 and other members of the "Wasp Network" was seen as a major victory against Cuban espionage in Florida. By both the US authorities and the groups they infiltrated. The filmmakers confirm they had un-restricted access to the Cuban Film Institute's archive. 'Immersing ourselves in the world of a Cuban Spy cell was an exhilarating process.

May 19, 2022 The Battle Hymn of the Republic is playing inside my head. I'm not sure why. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. I stop in moments like this. Memories of September 11, 2001. It's well documented in my daily writing. While doing so, I was humming Amazing Grace. In the moments after writing the planes hit the towers. When music enters your head and heart look up the lyrics. Get into what the message is. It's the universe using the strength of another person's creativity as a tool in your moment of now. Songs are created to move people even if the lyrics were penned out a thousand years ago.

Here we are! Right here! But where is here? Planting your thoughts is a daily exercise that requires less nobility and more humility. I recently read a story about how American's refuse to let the high prices of food and fuel to get in the way of how they're living. People aren't stopping! American nobility is shouting out, "How dare you do this to me!" Humility is humbleness. A can of Ravioli versus Chic Fil A. Buying at Goodwill or Nordstrom. When the Achilles tendon of this nation breaks will we hop into the next day or fall to the floor complaining?

The reimagined global iteration will include hosted segments, live performances, cyphers, lifestyle content, and serve as a comprehensive deep dive into the current state of hip-hop.
