Robert Winfree, Alexis Hejna and Mark Radulich present their Wolf Man 2025 Movie Review!Wolf Man is a 2025 American horror film directed by Leigh Whannell from a screenplay he co-wrote with Corbett Tuck. A reboot of The Wolf Man (1941), the film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and Sam Jaeger. The plot follows a family man seeking to protect his wife and daughter from a werewolf, only to become infected and slowly transform into the creature. Jason Blum produces alongside his Blumhouse Productions banner.The film was announced in 2014 and was to be part of the Dark Universe, a shared cinematic universe centered on the Universal Monsters. Aaron Guzikowski and David Callaham were attached to write the script. After the failure of The Mummy (2017), Universal shifted its focus to standalone films. The success of Whannell's The Invisible Man (2020) rekindled Universal's interest in the Monsters franchise. They accepted a pitch by Ryan Gosling, who was also set to star, for a new Wolf Man film with Derek Cianfrance to direct. However, Cianfrance left the project in 2023 and Gosling dropped out of the role, remaining as executive producer while Whannell took over as director with a new cast. Principal photography occured in New Zealand in early 2024.Wolf Man was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on January 17, 2025. The film received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $16.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Lost and Found - The Place Beyond the Pines - Episode 61The Place Beyond the Pines (Free on MPlayer, also available on Hungama Play, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube, and VI Movies)Welcome to OTTplay Lost and Found, one podcast that talks about critically acclaimed films and shows but lesser-known. I'm your host NikhilFilmmaker Derek Cianfrance is probably not one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but he is regarded as one of the best indie filmmakers in recent years. Some of his most notable films include Blue Valentine, starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, and he is also credited with co-writing the story for the acclaimed 2019 film The Sound of Metal by Darius Marder, starring Riz Ahmed and Olivia Cooke. However, Cianfrance's best film is also one of most lesser-known films of the past decade, The Place Beyond the Pines and it's our Lost and Found film for today. It was released in 2012 and features a star-studded ensemble of Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Emory Cohen, Dane DeHaan, and Ben Mendelsohn. It also features a stacked supporting cast of Mahershala Ali, Bruce Greenwood, Rose Byrne, and Ray Liotta. The plot is set in two timelines, the first of which revolves around Ryan Gosling's character Luke Glanton, a motorcycle stuntman working at a traveling carnival, who hopes to win back his former girlfriend's affections and to be a good father to his baby boy. However, circumstances force him to commit crimes in order to build a future for his loved ones. This puts him on a collision course with a policeman named Avery Cross, played by Bradley Cooper Years later, Luke and Avery's sons become best friends, unaware of the tragic history surrounding their fathers. Director Cianfrance has constructed the narrative taking inspiration from Shakespearean plays with themes surrounding destiny, revenge, and the complicated relationship between sons and fathers. The film is also a sombre reflection of a rotten society destroying the lives of its unsuspecting civilians. This slow-burner is undoubtedly one of the best films of the past decade. If you haven't watched The Place beyond the Pines yet, do so its streaming on MPlayer, also available on Hungama Play, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube, and VI Movies.Well that's the OTTplay Lost and Found for today, until the next episode it's your host Nikhil signing out.Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poocho

On today's belated Valentine's Day episode, we're getting dark with Derek Cianfrance's 2010 anti-romantic drama, Blue Valentine, starring Michelle Williams. Cianfrance wrote this film as a way to process his parents' divorce when he was twenty years old. As bleak as it is, this film promotes two healthy things that are rife with stigma: abortions and divorce. We also touch on the very real emotions Williams brought to the role, the difficulties of changing tax brackets for the better, and how Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" is actually a rose-colored abusive relationship.

Først skal det nemlig handle om Mark Ruffalo og Derek Cianfrances (’The Place Beyond the Pines’) længe ventede nye HBO-serie ’I Know This Much is True’, baseret på den bedstsælgende roman af samme navn.

Derek Cianfrance's The Light Between Oceans is something of an epic, operating on quite a small scale but still putting its characters through some formidable challenges. It's based on TL Stedman's novel of the same name, one that suggests both intimacy and profundity. This story does eventually deliver on both, but in the film at least, the intimacy is there pretty much from the get-go. It sets itself up to be a charming love story about a mild-mannered lighthouse keeper (Michael Fassbender) and his lovely wife (Alicia Vikander) who live on the Island of January between two oceans. It is December, 1918. Tom Sherbourne was a lucky survivor of the Great War, though with no loving family to come home to and no reason to believe that he has any right to be alive after so many have died. As he is first getting to know the sweet young Isabel Haysmark, he tells her he has done some unspeakable things in the years he spent on the front, though he doesn’t go into any detail. For him, the noble occupation of a lighthouse keeper is a way to give something good to the world, to help others when they most need it, but to do so from afar, without having to look into their eyes and receive undeserved gratitude. He never envisioned sharing this new life with a wife and child, but almost immediately after she meets him, Isabel is determined to court him, marry him and give him a family. She manages the first two of those easily enough, but after two miscarriages that final dream of hers is looking unlikely to come true. Cianfrance doesn't spend too long on their burgeoning romance. He mostly just shows them sharing their different experiences of the war. Isabel lost all three of her brothers, and is now an only child. She notices how, unlike a wife who might tragically become a widow after the war, there is no special name for what a parent becomes if they lose their children, or for what a sister becomes if she loses her brothers. To her, it is a connection that cannot be severed, the kind of love that never dies, even if the person it was for is now dead, or never even had a chance at life. Conversations like this one are peppered throughout the film, particularly in the initial stages of the plot. This is one of the more well-written deep and meaningful dialogues to be seen here. Others are markedly more on-the-nose, such as Tom explaining all of the mythological symbolism of the island, or one that has a certain crucial supporting character reciting one of the morals of the story: “You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.” These are all very worthy, weighty sentiments, but some of them are gratingly overstated and seem to arrive just in time for some not-so-subtle foreshadowing. Unsurprisingly, the film is at its most effective when it communicates its ideas through sounds and images - especially one striking shot that makes the ocean feel just like a desert - and when it simply trusts the strength of its story. After a generous amount of romantic and tragic setup, the real story is carried over the waves towards the little island with those two tiny graves. The couple spot a dinghy drifting near the shoreline, with a dead man and a crying baby girl lying inside it. Isabel is desperate to keep her. For all they know, she has no one. If Tom puts this in the log book, she'll probably be sent to an orphanage. Isabel convinces him to pretend that she's theirs, to Christen her Lucy Sherbourne and literally raise her as their own, an apparently victimless crime that might just rescue all three of them. Years later, however, when Tom discovers there that there is indeed a victim still suffering from what they did to her, he fears that they have damned themselves to a lifetime of punishment. It turns out that the dead man in the boat, the girl’s biological father, was a German man named Frank Roennfeldt (Leon Ford), the one who later espouses the virtues of forgiveness in a romantic flashback. Unfortunately, his new overseas neighbours weren’t quite as willing to bury the hatchet so soon after the war. He got into that boat out of blind fear for his own life, and even more so the life of his tiny daughter, who he had named Grace. Meanwhile, his wife, Hannah (Rachel Weisz) was left behind to erect a tombstone for both of them on the mainland of Australia. Strangely enough, that is where the film is set, even though its three main actors are Irish, English and Swedish and use more or less English accents. Cianfrance has tried to create a believable sense of place by shooting some of the scenes in Tasmania and filling the supporting cast with well-known Australian actors like Jack Thompson and Bryan Brown, who all act in their native accents. It’s a pretty discordant mix, but it still amounts to some very evocative cinematography and many solid performances. Unsurprisingly, Fassbender imbues the world-weary war survivor with a genuine sense of humanity, Vikander brings an unexpected dark streak to the loving mother with no child to love, while Weisz is consistently engaging as the wounded wildcard who stirs things up to an exceptional level of moral complexity. There are an awful lot of films that start with an excitingly unique premise that then just tapers off into cliché, but, interestingly, The Light Between Oceans begins in a fairly predictable way and becomes more interesting and sure-footed as it goes along.

Do you smell what Derek Cianfrance is cooking? Well, Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan sure can and they're here to talk about his new recipe for making you cry. The director of Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines returns with The Light Between Oceans, starring Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Rachel Weisz. We discuss its place in the Oscar race and the pantheon of Cianfrance (which is admittedly fairly small at the moment). On top of that, Dylan saw Don't Breathe, the new thriller from Fede Alvarez who previously directed the Evil Dead remake. He also took the time out to watch The Rundown, starring The Rock, and provides a passionate explanation as to why the film might very well be up Chris's alley. Both Chris and Dylan saw Hell or High Water and talk about what makes it stand above most films that came out this summer. Then Chris also went to Fan Expo Canada this year and saw two horror shorts: Invaders and Static. There's no lack of content this week as we also discuss our top five films that came out this summer, as well as the typical news stories (RIP Gene Wilder) and the blu-ray releases of the week.
