First, Anna chats with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Geraldine Viswanathan, stars of Thunderbolts*—the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Together, they discuss their first meeting, stepping into a superhero world alongside Florence Pugh and bringing depth and humour to their roles.

And is this movie responsible for breaking up Van Halen? PLUS: We start with the VHS Trailer Game Cameo appearance—and it is a laugh riot!

This week, it wouldn't be the final episode of July if we weren't talking about a huge new theatrical release, but we're doing it a bit differently this time around as for the very first time (officially anyway) we review two movies at the same time! July's canon consideration is 1996's Twister, directed by Jan de Bont and starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, Cary Elwes, Lois Smith, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck, Todd Field, Joey Slotnick, Jeremy Davies and Zach Grenier, but we spend just as much if not more time discussing 2024's Twisters, directed Lee Isaac Chung and starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Katy O'Brian, Kiernan Shipka, David Corenswet and Paul Scheer. And we're joined to discuss both by returning favourite / girlfriend of the show Ashley Olson, a self-confessed "weather girlie" for whom the original film has been a lifelong fave. It's a delightful chat as two prairie girls roast an ignorant city boy for knowing nothing about storm tracking. If you'd like to watch the films before listening along to our conversation, Twister is currently streaming on Crave and Starz in Canada at the time of publication, while Twisters can be found in theaters everywhere. Oh, you thought we would be discussing other works this week as well? Well, we're not. Two movies is more than enough, you sickos. We'll be back next week to kick off P.T.August, a month-long celebration of the works of Paul Thomas Anderson, beginning with 2012's The Master, a movie J Mo's been hauling around on Blu-ray for 11 years without ever having watched it. That all changes next Friday! So come on back now, as the rest of our PTA slate includes Phantom Thread, Inherent Vice, Licorice Pizza and concludes with our August canon entry Boogie Nights. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris face the dark side of nature and the 90s disaster classic Twister, as its sequel, Twisters, hits theaters this weekend.Bill Paxton stars as former storm chaser Bill Harding, who reunites with his ex-wife Jo (Helen Hunt) to make sure she has finalized their divorce papers, but he gets pulled back into chasing tornadoes when he finds out Jo and her team have built "Dorothy," a device he and Jo designed to study tornadoes from within. Bill gives Jo one day to try to get Dorothy flying, and his new fiancée, Melissa (Jami Gertz), gets dragged along for the ride. Zach and Chris discuss what would probably really happen if you were super close to an F5 tornado, what Dusty's (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) job on Jo's team is, who is sponsoring the "evil" team led by Cary Elwes, the various mishaps and injuries that happened on set and more.You can watch Twister currently on Max. Next week, we're digging into Logan's past and talking about X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters.We want to hear your comments and feedback.

In anticipation of the soon-to-be-released sequel, Anne and Ryan take a look back at 1996's original TWISTER starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, Cary Elwes, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lois Smith, Jeremy Davies, Todd Field and Alan Ruck. Director Jan de Bont's disaster spectacular follows a group of amateur storm chasers across Oklahoma, flirting dangerously close with tornados as old flames Jo (Hunt) and Bill (Paxton) flirt with each other. Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin co-wrote TWISTER, which turned out to be the second highest grossing movie of 1996, stirring up $242 million at the box office. As Lee Isaac Chung's remake touches down this week, we look back at the original that started it all, along with diversions off path into The Bear, Jurassic Park, Outbreak, Nightcrawler, Los Angeles Plays Itself, Longlegs, Daddy Longlegs, and much much more!
Did you all know that a sequel to this movie is coming out in like two weeks?? Nothing to do with the timing here, promise! In any case, Erika and Paul leave Theater Month behind to do the opposite…Action Month! And they're kicking it off with 1996's Twister, starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, and Lois Smith.

In this episode of Overlapping Dialogue, we eagerly head full speed into the danger zone with two thrilling disaster pictures intent on traumatizing their characters and relentlessly entertaining their audiences: Black Sunday and Twister! But before we masochistically chase storms of both the physical and emotional variety, we stock up on a Blue Plate Special selection focusing on some new releases (In a Violent Nature) and filmmakers (Jane Schoenbrun, director of We're All Going to the World's Fair and I Saw the TV Glow) that hopefully suggest that maybe the spirit of cinema isn't dead after all. Eventually, we abandon all decorum and good sense by embracing the chaos of our double feature: join us as we delight in the unabashed 70s-ness of John Frankenheimer's B-movie epic (we also take the opportunity to induct not one but *two* members into our Hall of Fame, the Immune) and celebrate Jan de Bont's fabulous piece of 90s nonsense, filled with more of its era's character actors than any act of nature could every whisk away.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three works that offer unusual perspectives on clothes and fashion—selling, making, and coveting. In Anne Enright's “(She Owns) Everything,” read by Mary-Louise Parker, a saleswoman becomes a compulsive consumer. In “Clothes on the Ground: A Conversation with Leap,” we hear from a Cambodian garment worker, interviewed by Julia Wallace for the compendium Women in Clothes. Leap is voiced by Jennifer Lim. And shopping is an antidote to aging in Joanne Harris's “Faith and Hope Go Shopping,” read by Lois Smith.
In 2017, Vancouver resident Lois Smith got the idea to put out a succinct print guide to resources and services for people experiencing homelessness. She’d been volunteering with Friends of the Carpenter, a faith-based nonprofit that runs a day center for people experiencing homelessness. She says the stories from the unhoused people she talked to stayed with her, and realized she could put something tangible into their hands to help direct them to services, shelter and other resources. She knew it had to be informed by the people she wanted to help and she wanted to be light, withstand rain, snow and heat. Smith now puts out the guides yearly as an independent project that is funded entirely by donations. They’re printed yearly in different colors, making it easier to tell which one is current. She says she works with local officials, law enforcement, social service agencies, churches and many others to make sure the content is useful - and gets into the hands of people who need it. Portland’s Street Roots puts out a similar paper guide, though not a waterproof one. Smith joins us to tell us more about how the guides are used in Vancouver and Clark County and how she sees the idea spreading.
Hello Therese, we're back for our annual holiday extravaganza. This year we're movie-clubbing Todd Haynes' very luscious and very gay Carol (2015), starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Sarah Paulson. We discuss the erotic imagery of merely a glove, lesbian sex scenes through the lens of a gay man, and the joy in watching flat male characters (what even IS Jake Lacy's character's name?). All that Carol talk for you plus our reactions to the Golden Globe nominations, our dream casting of Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone as Pearl Bailey and Carol Channing in a future film, and some Muppet talk. And then…we give you a solid ten minutes on our theory that gay men hate all gay male things while lesbians are much more accepting, our trip down memory lane to remember “lesbian kiss episodes” during November sweeps, the legacy of Roseanne, and Natalie Zea hunting down Kimberly Pierce for the Boys Don't Cry short she starred in! Anyway, happy holidays! Do you think Linda Perry and Sara Gilbert watched Carol together? Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this week: Golden Globe nominations came out HFPA dissolved last year Anne liked Priscilla Actors on Actors with Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper. Better or Actors on Actors with Hathaway and Blunt Da'Vine Joy Randolph getting Oscar buzz for The Holdovers and should definitely star as Pearl Bailey. We vote Emma Stone for Carol Channing Is Wonka good?! We love Pepe the Prawn now Lonny Price is in Muppets Take Manhattan Austin Pendleton is in The Muppet Movie We love Ollie's on 42nd Street (sighted Lois Smith and Austin Pendleton) Rooney Mara in The Social Network We love the movie Union Square and the Angelika Film Center Former guest, Vicki Lewis in Pushing Tin “Do you want to fuck me, Barbara??” - Cate to Judi in Notes on a Scandal She has done lots of NYC theatre: Streetcar (2009), Hedda Gabler (2006), The Maids (2014) Damian always thinking of Playwright, Theresa Rebeck Jake Lacy looks good in a waistcoat Are the Maras billionaires? Their mom's family founded the Pittsburgh Steelers and dad's family founded the New York Giants. We can't pronounce Joaquin Phoenix and Cillian Murphy Gay Christmas movies: Michael Urie in Single All the Way and Happiest Season (with Aubrey Plaza and Kristen Stewart) BFI listed Carol as the best LGBTQ movie of all time Anne hated Bros Remember that Muriel Heminway kissed Roseanne Barr? Lucy Liu and Calista Flockheart kissed for sweeps on Ally McBeal Did Linda Perry and Sara Gilbert watched Carol together? Famous lesbian Christine Vachon produced Carol Kimberly Peirce was attached to Carol before it made its way to Todd Haynes Former YMKHF guest, Natalie Zea was in the student film version of Boys Don't Cry and we talked to her about it on the pod Famous lesbian Kimberly Peirce directed episodes of P Valley and The L Word

Cenephile and severe weather head Jackson Boren joins us to discuss 'Twister', one of the biggest hits of 1996. It's a film that takes several well-worn, sometimes quaint, and seemingly disparate cinematic tropes and combines them into a transcendent and irreplicable experience.We discuss the rise and fall of filmmaker Jan de Bont, from his time as one of Paul Verhoeven and John McTiernan's key collaborators, to his work on back-to-back 90s action hits (this film and 1994's 'Speed'), to his gun-for-hire status for the 2003 'Tomb Raider' sequel that stands as his last film as director to date. Then, we talk about the film's host of influences, most notably its screwball comedy premise wrapped in a disaster movie's skin. Finally, we discuss the movie's groundbreaking special effects and champion the film as a state-of-the-art blockbuster spectacle.Follow Jackson on Twitter.

Actor and professor Cindy Gold remembers her friend and colleague Frank Galati, the Academy Award-nominated and multiple Tony Award-winning writer and director who died last January. At a memorial held at Steppenwolf Theatre last Monday, Galati's friends and artistic colleagues (including Mary Zimmerman, Robert Falls; Lois Smith, and Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty) remembered him as a generous and supportive artist in an event that was an inspiring celebration. Cindy shares her memories of working with Frank on his musical Loving Repeating (for which she won a Joseph Jefferson Award for playing Gertrude Stein); how Frank was a champion of the positive who had the ability to love an actor to a great performance; the joy of experiencing the “full Galati;” her talent to be a muse; and how Frank Galati continues to inspire.

Young lovers seek perfection. Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of podcast ramblings. In this Ramblin episode, we thread together the connecting stories of Jocelyn Moorhouse's HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT, the 1995 adaptation of Whitney Otto's novel, described by Amazon as a ‘gentle comedy' We'll determine just how gentle it is as we welcome our guest - critic and broadcaster Rihanna Dillon - to become a part of the Ramblin patchwork. We discuss Moorhouse's background and the performances of a stacked cast that includes the likes of Winona Ryder, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn, Lois Smith, Alfre Woodard, and Maya Angelou. But most importantly, will we find out just how to make an American quilt?

"Young lovers seek perfection. Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of patches." If one grew up in the 90s those defeated souls could not escape the pop culture wisdom that came out of Winona Ryder's dumb mouth. Thankfully a better cast of Maya Angelou, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Bustyn, Lois Smith and Alfre Woodard make up for the slow death march that is Wino Forever. Also Dermot Mulroney is in this. That seems oddly fitting. Kind of like having Winona superfan Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH on to ruin a perfectly good podcast. Enjoy! Support what we do on Patreon with bonus episodes!

Dick! Do all of the visual effects and fake-outs still hold up almost 20 years later after MINORITY REPORT blew up the 2002 summer blockbuster?

The Equalizer Season 2 Episode 19: Coal Black Soul Aired on CBS: May 6, 1987 Directed by: Richard Compton Written by : Scott Shepherd Featuring: Patricia Kalember, Mitchell Lichtenstein, Chris Elliott (!), Lois Smith, Earl Hindman (Wilson), the great Jihmi Kennedy, and Gale "We'll Sing in the Sunshine" Garnett There's a serial killer loose but more importantly, The Equalizer has found himself a ladyfriend. And as he'll tell you, she's quite the dish. Not only that, she's a therapist, and she can help him go all Freud 101 on that serial killer, so much so that EQ's main strategy to combat him is to psych that mother out. And does this ladyfriend feel the same for the Equalizer? Oh yes she does. And just how much younger is she? Oh really? Jesus. So is it like a silver fox piss-off-the-parents thing? Anyways, we'll get to the bottom of all that in the podcast. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
It's tough to get noticed in Hollywood, and today's guest made a career by helping others do just that. She was one of the entertainment industry's most respected and sought-after media and publicity strategists, ran her own talent management firm (B. Company), and now she works with Late Show legend, Stephen Colbert… as president of his production company Spartina. Carrie inspires me and so many other women by being a kind leader in a tough industry, her dedication to her team, and her 1.8 second-response time to text messages. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in business for years, there's something here for you. So grab a cup of tea, buckle up and tune in!In this episode, we discussFinding the confidence to start your own thing in the entertainment industry - TWICE!Handling comparative pressure, facing down obstacles and refusing to apologize for who you are.Balancing high demands on your time while finding time to live a lifeHer genius method to get to inbox zero-ish (I've tried it, it works!)The women that have lifted HER up.This episode at a glance:[08:23] What helped Carrie take off on her own: she wanted to contribute to the choices that her clients were making, not just enhance the work they were already doing. And it just took one client, America Ferrara, to say “I see you as that” to give her the confidence to *be* that.[20:45] The main reason Carrie said YES to running Stephen and Evelyn Colbert's production company, Spartina: If that YES is loud, if something magnetic is pulling you, that's telling.[31:08] Carrie's empowering leadership style: she taps into people's strengths and celebrates the things her team can do that she can't. If you have a team of clones, you won't succeed. [44:05] Carrie was surrounded by strong female role models, starting with her mom, author and speaker Marcia Byalick. She learned from great women in her industry like Kelly Bush Novak, Lesley Dart, Lois Smith, and Pat Kingsley.[58:03] What's on Carrie's Times Square billboard: “There's always a ticket”.

Hey Friends,Amazon Studio's/Alan Ball's gay-trauma-gut-punch "Uncle Frank" had us sobbing for the last third of the movie.

Director Bob Rafelson and actor Jack Nicholson have collaborated on 6 films together including the film classic Five Easy Pieces (1970). Nicholson plays a dropout from upper-class America who works on an oil rig and passes the time at dingy bars and motels while treating himself and everyone around him like hot garbage. Jason Furie and Adam Roth both haven't seen this one until now. We have a lot to talk about.Pizza Enamel Pinz by Jason Furie | LIVE NOWVisit Website | Join Newsletter | Support | Facebook | Instagram

Today on Backstage Babble, I am so thrilled to present my celebration of the 2020 Tony Awards. The four-hour ceremony can still be viewed on Paramount+ and the CBS App. The evening begins with a few photos and video interviews from the red carpet. I was also invited to be part of the virtual press room for this year's ceremony, and you can see the questions I got to ask to the night's winners including Lois Smith, Alex Timbers, and Anthony Veneziale. You can also see longer interview clips that include my questions with director Kenny Leon and playwright Matthew Lopez, because what they said was so powerful it had to be shared. Following this, my extended 40-minute interview with legendary Broadway press agent and producer Irene Gandy, who shares many stories of her career, including learning from Douglas Turner Ward, walking into the New York Times office wearing hot pants, why attitudes about press have changed, the magic of August: Osage County, and the way in which she saw racism in the publicity industry. This program is best viewed in a video format, which is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p91K_oSS9U/ You can watch Ms. Gandy's Tonys speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffx2MRRCzPY&t=81s/
Welcome to the Film at Lincoln Center podcast! On today's episode of our daily NYFF59 edition, NYFF Director Eugene Hernandez has a conversation with the team behind The French Dispatch: director Wes Anderson, producer Jeremy Dawson, and cast members Adrien Brody, Bill Murray, Steve Park, and Jason Schwartzman Zooming in from Spain, and cast members Anjelica Fellini, Lois Smith, Bob Balaban, Léa Seydoux, and Jeffrey Wright joining in person from New York. The French Dispatch is a selection in the Spotlight section of this year's festival. Wes Anderson's unmistakable cinematic style proves delightfully suited to periodical format in this missive from the eponymous expatriate journal. Brought to press by a corps of idiosyncratic correspondents, the issue includes reports on a criminal artist and his prison guard muse, student revolutionaries, and a memorable dinner with a police commissioner and his personal chef. As brimming with finely tuned texture as a juicy issue of a certain New York–based magazine to which the film pays homage, The French Dispatch features precision work from a full masthead of collaborators (including Bill Murray, Timothée Chalamet, Tilda Swinton, Benicio del Toro, Frances McDormand, and Jeffrey Wright), each propagating inventive dedication to detail.

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 2002 American science fiction action film "Minority Report" directed by Steven Spielberg. Loosely based on the 1956 short story "The Minority Report", set in the year 2054, the film stars Tom Cruise as John Anderton, the chief of Precrime - a specialised police department that apprehends criminals before they have committed a crime based on foreknowledge from psychics called "precogs" who are able to the future events before they happen. However, when John Anderton is identified as a suspect in a murder that has not yet taken place he goes on the run to uncover what the events are that will lead to him to commit this murder of someone he does not know, why, and if the predicted murder he is to commit is in fact a "Minority Report" - essentially an alternate prediction of future events than calls into question what is actually going to happen. The film also stars Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow, Colin Farrell, Neil McDonough, Lois Smith, Kathryn Morris, as well as a great cast of other accomplished actors who play some memorable characters throughout the film. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

The brilliant J. Smith-Cameron blew us away in “Margaret” (written and directed by her husband, Kenneth Lonergan) and in the acclaimed series “Rectify.” Currently she's starring in the new play “Peace For Mary Frances” (with Lois Smith), and the praiseworthy film “Nancy” (written and directed by Christina Choe and co-staring Andrea Riseborough and Steve Buscemi), which opens Friday June 8th. We talk extensively about her work in the latest two pieces and how her desire for rehearsal is sometimes satisfied in a roundabout way on a TV shoot. She also shares what she does right before she steps on the stage and how she feeds her “inner actor” when she's not working.
"Someday, he’s gonna know who his real son is!" James Dean was the lead in only three films released in 1955 and 1956. He died tragically in a car crash on September 30th, 1955, only ever getting to see one of his three films finished. What he never got to see is how the performances he gave in those three films left an indelible impression on cinema, creating a voice for teenagers of the day and a cult icon for decades since. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we look back at James Dean’s career, kicking it off with Elia Kazan’s 1955 film East of Eden. We talk about the adaptation from John Steinbeck’s novel, our thoughts on Steinbeck and this rather loose adaptation, and Kazan’s interpretation of it. We look at what Dean does here in the role of the bad son Cal opposite both Richard Davalos as his good brother Aron and his moralistic father Adam, played by Raymond Massey. We look at what the other performers bring to the table, notably Burl Ives, Julie Harris, Jo Van Fleet and Lois Smith, who is not only the last cast member still alive but also still working regularly. We marvel at the fantastic use of Cinemascope presented here as shot by Ted D. McCord. And we touch on why Kazan and Dean, both men who had problems with their own fathers, found such a connection to this story.

"Someday, he's gonna know who his real son is!" James Dean was the lead in only three films released in 1955 and 1956. He died tragically in a car crash on September 30th, 1955, only ever getting to see one of his three films finished. What he never got to see is how the performances he gave in those three films left an indelible impression on cinema, creating a voice for teenagers of the day and a cult icon for decades since. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we look back at James Dean's career, kicking it off with Elia Kazan's 1955 film East of Eden. We talk about the adaptation from John Steinbeck's novel, our thoughts on Steinbeck and this rather loose adaptation, and Kazan's interpretation of it. We look at what Dean does here in the role of the bad son Cal opposite both Richard Davalos as his good brother Aron and his moralistic father Adam, played by Raymond Massey. We look at what the other performers bring to the table, notably Burl Ives, Julie Harris, Jo Van Fleet and Lois Smith, who is not only the last cast member still alive but also still working regularly. We marvel at the fantastic use of Cinemascope presented here as shot by Ted D. McCord. And we touch on why Kazan and Dean, both men who had problems with their own fathers, found such a connection to this story.

Beatriz at Dinner Dir: Miguel Arteta Written for Screen by: Mike White Starring: Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, Chloe Sevigny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSi62GeoKkA Salma Hayek stars as the titular character Beatriz who inadvertently is invited to stay for a dinner party that one of her clients is hosting after car breaks down. That does sound like a placid setup for a film until you realise that it's the setup for a "head to head" where Beatriz and the main antagonist "Doug Strutt" as played by John Lithgow clash and lock horns time and again. The writer Mike White based the Doug's character on the dentist that shot and killed Cecil the lion back in 2015. Beatriz is an eternal empath and rallies hard against the consciousless Doug who has no trouble sleeping at night despite leaving destitution in his wake. Beatriz at Dinner is a sublime chamber piece that is superbly helmed by Miguel Arteta and brought to life by the flawless casting. The Big Sick Dir: Michael Showalter Written for Screen by: Emily V Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani Starring: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Adeel Akhtar, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX3Regj6nAg The Big Sick "dramadises" the real life story of Emily V Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. During their time of courtship Emily falls so ill that she had to be placed into a medically induced coma to help fight the infection and illness. The Big Sick focuses on their story during this difficult time as well as the trials and tribulations between Kumail and his own parents and getting to know and love Emily's parents. These three story threads are excellently played out and endearing. There is a lot of love for the writing of Kumail and Emily and the direction from Michael Showalter works perfectly with them. I cannot think of many comedies that should be longer than 90 minutes long and The Big Sick, with a running time of around two hours, is not one of them. That said it is a fantastic and heartfelt moden rom-com that you should make an effort to see. Bitch Dir: Marianna Palka Written for Screen by: Marianna Palka Starring: Marianna Palka, Jason Ritter, Jaime King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZVA2f_jtxQ When a film starts off with an attempted suicide, as "Bitch" does, you know you're not going to be in for a smooth ride. The suicide attempt made by Marianna Palka's character is a vain attempt to resolve the problems of living with a cheating husband. Her husband, played by Jason Ritter, is so pathetic that he doesn't know where his kids go to school or even know how to start the car to take them there. The suicide is unsuccessful, however, the drastic measures are taken that results in her separation from the family as we know it. What follows is the family coming to terms with the type of loss that has never been committed to screen. Bushwick Dir: Cary Munion, Jonathon Milott Written for Screen by: Nick Damici, Graham Reznick Starring: Dave Bautista, Brittany Snow, Angelic Zambrana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddl6sHa48Zk A girlfriend, Lucy (Brittany Snow) and boyfriend couple arrive in Bushwick, an area of Brooklyn, with the intention of introducing him to her family. As they walk out of the underground and eerie silence is replaced by the sound of gunfire and the guy is soon firebombed. He dies but there is no time for tears as all hell has broken loose and she is soon having to dodge sniper fire and run for safety. Lucy finds assistance in Stupe (Dave Bautista), an ex-marine turned janitor, and they work together to find the scattered pieces of her family in the Bushwick neighbourhood and onto safety. Bushwick is all shot on Steadicam and in as real time as possible, trying to mimic film showing the passage of time in a single take. The concept is great and the film is a fun one with a few sections of improvised dialogue that are cringe inducing, but the fast pace and vicscera almost make that forgiveable! Chasing Coral Dir: Jeff Orlowski Starring: Richard Vevers, Zack Rago, Chloe Sevigny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W4PfXCKBPc Chasing Coral depicts the drastic dying out of the coral reefs around the globe. We see over the space of 2 months or less the vibrant coral turning white and then dying out. This is a result of global warming that has caused the sea temperatures to increase by 2-3 degrees. This doesn't sound like much but is enough to cause the coral and the infrastructure they support to die out. The documentary works in three parts, the environmental, technological and the character driven. All three impress and combine into a beautiful tour-de-force that is as impressive as it is depressing... Chasing Coral is coming to Netflix if it isn't there by the time you read this lowdown. Please do try and see this on the big screen if you can. Some of the visuals are eye-popping! Crown Heights Dir: Matt Ruskin Written for Screen by: Matt Ruskin Starring: Lakeith Stanfield, Nnamdi Asomuhga, Natalie Paul The story behind Crown Heights is a true one and was initially popularised on in a Podcast episode "DIY" of This American Life. Lakeith Stanfield stars as Colin Warner, a man convicted of life imprisonment for a murder he did not commit. The ordeal that he goes through is heinous especially given the amount of evidence in his favour. It follows the story of Colin on "the inside" and his best friend Chris who keeps on rallying for him "on the outside" following setback after knockback after setback. It's great stuff and the story is beyond unfortunate, however, one has to wonder if would have been better served as a documentary. We have to concede that this story will receive a greater audience as a biopic and that can only be a great thing! Dina Dir: Dan Sickles, Antonio Santini Starring: Dina Buno, Scott Levin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrVqMydFvHg The documentary "Dina" follows Dina Buno and her fiance Scott as they prepare for their wedding and their life together. That concept is not typical fare for a documentary until you add the fact that both Dina and Scott both are both on the autistic spectrum and Dina's life has been traumatic including her previous marriage ended in tragedy. The pairing of Scott and Dina is endearing and fraught with intrinsic difficulties. It's clear that they love each other but the way that this manifests physically is often difficult to bear. Scott is whilst being affectionate finds physical contact difficult, whilst Dina, a "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" is forthright, honest and craves physical passion. A Ghost Story Dir: David Lowery Written for Screen by: David Lowery Starring: Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, Will Oldham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxLHP2IpBXw "A Ghost Story" is beautiful, ethereal, thought provoking and haunting (pun intended) film that provoked a lot of discussion after the screening. The setup follows a young couple played by Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara just before he is involved in a fatal car accident. Casey comes back as "Ghost Costume 101" in the form of a sheet with eye-holes cut out after referring to "Pac-man" as a guide for sewing pattern. We then follow the ghost as he is seemingly bound to the house where he used to live and experiences life carrying on around him. A Ghost Story is presented in a square image with a subdued filter, almost as if shot with a bespoke Instagram filter. This presentation when coupled with the sublime score and track "I Get Overwhelmed" by Dark Rooms makes for a film that will nest in your conciousness for a long time after you first watch it. Icarus Dir: Bryan Fogel Starring: Bryan Fogel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQNRm6NLTSI&t=60s The setup for Icarus is a fascinating one. Bryan is an accomplished amateur cyclist who came 14th in the Alpine Haute Route in 2014, which is an amazing accomplishment. Bryan, who had been let down by his cycling hero Lance Armstrong, noted that in spite of the systematic doping program that Lance Armstrong had never failed a drugs test. Fogel set out to prove that it was relatively easy to evade the doping systems by participating in his own program with the intent of exposing the scams and methods to a wider audience. The program that Bryan undergoes is stringent and overseen by the Director of the Russian Anti-Doping Lab, Grigory Rodchenkov. We are initially disappointed that this promising premise is not fully realised, but what it makes way for is a mindblowing crime caper that involves KGB, Putin, The Olympics and death threats and leaves you paranoid as you leave the cinema. Icarus will be available on Netflix later this year and is must - see documentary. The Incredible Jessica James Dir: Jim Strouse Written for Screen by: Jim Strouse Starring: Jessica Williams, Chris O'Dowd, Lakeith Stanfield, Noel Wells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFKwg3V85Ng The Incredible Jessica James was written By Jim Strause specifically for Jessica Williams after he had worked with her on previous film projects. In the film, Jessica is a theatre playwright, performer, teacher and lover who is struggling to come to terms with her perception of success is whilst at the same time trying to deal with the break-up of a relationship and the start of a new one. Jessica Williams heads up the cast alongside Chris O'Dowd Lakeith Stanfield and Noel Wells in a film that has been expertly crafted for her. The Incredible Jessica James is endearing without being mawkish and comes sets up Jessica's character as outgoing without ever overstepping the mark. "The Incredible Jessica James" is a hilarious film that with is engaging all the way through. Marjorie Prime Dir: Michael Almereyda Written for Screen by: Michael Almereyda Starring: Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Lois Smith, Tim Robbins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMGm6A7XHjo Marjorie Prime is the film adaptation of a stage play of the same name. In this world a "Prime" is a holographic representation of a real-world person that has previously died. There are a few primes in this film the first being depicted by Jon Hamm who Is employed to keep Marjorie, the titular character, company as she descends into older age and increasing dementia. We've seen similarly themed films such as with "Robot and Frank", "Her" and themes are shown in TV series Black Mirror and represents the move toward the Technical Singularity where people's memories and personality live way beyond the constrains of their physical form. It is evident that Marjorie Prime is based on a stage play in the form that the film takes. This, however, Is the perfect setting for actors of the calibre of Lois Smith, Jon Hamm, Tim Robbins and of course Geena Davies. Walking Out Dir: Alex Smith and Andrew Smith Written for Screen by: Alex Smith and Andrew Smith Starring: Matt Bomer, Josh Wiggins, Bill Pullman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic6A6ztJldA A shorthand to understanding the film "Walking Out" would be Refer to it as a more personalised version of The Revenant. In Walking Out we deal with threats from bears and cold weather, But that is where the parallels end. The story of walking out reunites a father and son, Cal and David, who are typically estranged by both distance and life experiences. The "city mouse" son joins his "Country mouse" father shortly after his 14th birthday with the aim of reconnecting and to kill a moose. The story starts with the initial disappointment from Cal's point of view as he sees David's reliance on modern technology turns into pride as his son strives to save them. Walking out is breathtakingly beautiful and benefits from the constraints of limited budget in the way you can see the epic beauty of real landscape and weather that would be staged larger scale films. Wilson Dir: Craig Johnson Written for Screen by: Daniel Clowes Starring: Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, Judy Greer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKHFZumOS94 Wilson is adapted from the graphic novel and depicts Woody Harrelson playing the titular Wilson. We are initially introduced to a lonely but happily cranky Wilson who after a family bereavement seeks to modify life and re-connect with his estranged wife. In this process of reconnecting Wilson learns that he is actually a father and sets out to get to know his daughter and become part of her life. Wilson's grumpy demeanour is as entertaining for the viewer as it is irritating for the other characters in the film but this slowly ebbs away as his good nature breaks through. The episodic nature of the story might have been best suited to a series but this is an enjoyable film non the less! Ten Meter Tower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8-Oc_TOPDI This was shown as a short at Sundance London and here is the full film for you to watch. What do you think you would do?

Along with seventy-four other baby contestants under a year old, Smith was examined by doctors. In her memoir, she writes, “Most of the babies were crying - all were naked; I evidently did not cry.”
