His breakout role in Netflix's “Outer Banks” catapulted Chase Stokes to fame. In the series, he portrays the charismatic and determined John B, the leader of a group of young outcasts on a treasure hunt in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The show's blend of adventure, mystery, and coming-of-age drama quickly gained a massive fanbase, establishing Stokes as a rising star. Since then he's been in “Tell Me Your Secrets,” this year's “The Uglies,” opposite Joey King, and next year's “Valiant One,” not to mention Season 4 of “Outer Banks,” which is dropping in October. On this episode, he tells the story of his struggle to break in to the business. It's an epic, sometimes hilarious, saga of “failing forward,” an inspiring tale of determination and perseverance. He talks about why his process starts with “the newspaper read,” the importance of the “f*ck it” mindset, how Nick Cassavetes made him fall in love with making movies, and much more.

O filme vendeu quase 80 milhões de ingressos em um mês e se tornou o queridinho do público. Passados 20 anos, Diário de uma Paixão é considerado por muitos um dos romances mais icônicos do cinema contemporâneo.Sob a tutela de Nicholas Sparks, um dos "magos do romance", Diário de uma Paixão arrebatou o coração dos fãs sobretudo por uma história bem amarrada, que oferecia uma dose de surpresa e uma química entre seus protagonistas que deixa o espectador vidrado na história.Hoje, aqui no Cinem(ação),  Rafael Arinelli recebe Laysa Zanetti (Entre Telas) e Cecília Barroso (Cenas de Cinema) para debater por que este jovem clássico é tão cativante entre seus fãs.

Vale ressaltar que este episódio foi gravado na terça-feira, 13 de agosto de 2024. No dia 15 de agosto de 2024, a atriz Gena Rowlands faleceu.

Em Diário de uma Paixão, Gena, que era mãe do diretor Nick Cassavetes, empresta um pouco do seu talento para Allie e, com pouco tempo de tela, encanta com uma personagem contida, distante e confusa.

Here's what their past performances looked like. Homeland Security says border arrests fall more than 40% since Biden's halt to asylum processing. Judge alters Trump’s gag order, letting him talk about witnesses, jury after hush money conviction. More than 500 people have been charged with federal crimes under the gun safety law Biden signed.

PORTRAITS OF THE ARTISTS (AKA DENZEL MONTH) has been a hell of a time and it's been fun to examine the lives of such cornerstone actors in Paul Robeson and Denzel Washington. Those two men seem very different in personality but for this final edition of our theme, Denzel takes on a role that might be the closest to Robeson's preferred type. A struggling, hardworking, family man trying to make ends meet in a medical emergency. It was a hit during a time when random dramas seemed to be seen, though not much of it gets said even in context of the Denzel oeuvre and broader film culture. A very direct critique of the U.S. medical system in Nick Cassavetes's absolutely dripping melodrama from 2002, “JOHN Q.”. Denzel is the obvious everyman who successfully holds his own dramatic weight. It also stars Kimberly Elise, James Woods, Anne Heche (RIP), Robert Duvall and Ray Fuckin' Liotta. We miss you Ray. The people finally get a little propaganda in this far from perfect story that occasionally brushes up against “ridiculous”. Charming family dynamic with a few good dramatic moments and maybe a little misdirected in its cleanliness through the home stretch. Nonetheless, we can all relate to dealing with our shitty medical system. So long January's theme.

"Hey Yahoo" can be seen on GSN Weeknights at 7pm Central Time.Actor and Director Nick Cassavetes of "The Notebook" fame, joins the show to talk about his new flick which is out now called "God is a Bullet" This movie is a non stop thrill ride of murder, shotguns, and satanic cults.Did we mention shotguns and cults? We talk with Nick about some of his other great movies like "JohnQ" and the personal connection of his daughter, and girl dads everywhere. He didn't sem to excited to talk about the 80's flick he was in with Charlie Sheen called "The Wraith"....but don't worry, we cover that in Top Nerd News.

Welcome to another episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today we have a very special guest joining us: the immensely talented actor, Ethan Suplee. Renowned for his incredible performances in films like "Remember the Titans" and "American History X," as well as his memorable roles in television series such as "My Name is Earl," Ethan Suplee has become a true force to be reckoned with in the world of acting. Today, I have the honor of diving deep into his latest collaboration with Nick Cassavetes, a powerful and disturbing film titled GOD IS A BULLET. GOD IS A BULLET follows vice detective Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) as he searches for his kidnapped daughter. Hightower finds his ex-wife murdered by a satanic cult and his daughter kidnapped by those same cultists. Hightower eventually gets fed up with the official investigation and quits the force. In order to track them down, he joins forces with their only female escapee, Case Hardin (Maika Monroe). The two go undercover in a world of violence and high stakes for their own reasons: Hightower needs to find his daughter, and Hardin needs to get closure on her time as the cult's captive. But before we dive into our conversation with Ethan, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans. Bookmans is your go-to independent bookstore, where you can find an extensive selection of books, movies, music, and more. They truly believe in the power of storytelling and the magic of the cinematic arts. So, if you're looking to expand your film collection, be sure to visit your nearest Bookmans.

Based on the true story of the kidnapping and murder of Nick Markowitz, (here named “Zack Mazursky” and played by a young Anton Yelchin) the film is a unique crime drama that sees dumb young men making increasingly dumb decisions that ultimately result in their mutual destruction. Populated with an all-star cast of young up and comers, as well as boasting surprisingly effective turns from veterans Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone, the film is a well acted and well constructed crime drama that manages to remain highly watchable despite it's largely unlikable cast of characters. Equal parts frustrating and tragic, the film manages to be secretly brilliant in it's dumbness, presenting itself as being fully aware of the gross incompetence and ugliness of it's denizens, while boldly standing by on the sidelines as they ride the inertia of their apathy poor decisions on a downward spiral towards oblivion.

Sion Sono has made some very weird films.  One of Japan's most interesting and prolific directors, he's known for both gonzo films and oddities.  Even his most audience friendly films are still very much considered “weird cinema” too many.  His latest movie, PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND (2021), is a mix of English language and Japanese starring Nick Cage in what he says “might be the wildest movie I ever made.” When a bank robbery in Japan goes bad, Hero (Nicolas Cage) is thrown in jail for life.  During his incarceration, a nuclear accident turns much of Japan into a wasteland simply known as the “ghostlands.”  When The Governor (Bill Moseley) of the Samurai Town has one of his granddaughters go missing, he makes a deal with Hero.  You find and rescue her, you go free.  Considered a mix of weird western and horror film, PRISONERS OF THE GHOSTLAND has received mixed to positive reviews from critics.  Besides Nicholas Cage, the movie stars Bill Moseley, Nick Cassavetes, Sofia Boutella, Tak Sakaguchi, Yuzuka Nakaya, among others.  The screenplay was written by actors Aaron Hendry and Reza Sixo Safai.  Dark Discussions takes a look at this very unusual movie and gives their thoughts.

A Brief History of Reel Rap Shane and Bennett started Reel Rap in the summer of 2017. Bennett became a professional podcaster and a “Chicken Guy” at the local supermarket on the same day. In Boston, Shane was growing mushrooms in his apartment and was oft mistaken for a mentally ill escapee of the local hospital, moonlighting as a barback at an upscale hotel bar.Reel Rap has its origins in the middlebrow fare that most filmgoers have forgotten. Bennett and Shane have shared formative film experiences, but they haven’t centered on blockbusters and big hits. On the big screen (the Silver), the boys have paid to see slop like The Descendants and nodded politely side by side. On the small screen (the silver), they’ve idly yipped and hollered through all manner of would-be Oscar bait and mid-budget action movies.The first season found the boys working in familiar middlebrow territory. A fascination with How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) led to their snout-to-tail look at the career of Ron Howard and stretched over more than a year. After focusing on Hollywood’s nicest guy, they pivoted with a season on one of its absolute worst. Mel Gibson provided the perfect opportunity to settle on a theme. After all, he represents the actor-turned-director at their most grandiose. Actors-turned-directors (more on them below) have provided Reel Rap with opportunities to discuss some of Hollywood’s biggest Ls as well as their own personal shortcomings. They’ve also discussed some of the great works of American independent cinema, some foreign gems, and even the rare transcendent Hollywood effort. To recap, here’s where the boys have tracked their mud-soaked galoshes: Season 1: Screwball Right Down the Middle of the Plate: The Films of Ron HowardSeason 2: God’s Angry, Racist Man: Mel Gibson the DirectorSeason 3: Cassavetes v. CassavetesSeason 4: A Chip on His Shoulder and a Song in His Heart: Jon Favreau’s HollywoodSeason 5: A Rich Diet: Sofia Coppola’s Substantive StyleSeason 6: Nichols & May & Reel & Rap Season 7: Pardon My French! It’s the Complete Works of Jacques Tati!That’s not including one-offs, holiday specials, and other miscellaneous episodes.Today, Shane rarely watches movies and Bennett only watches movies. It’s a match made in hog heaven. They’ve covered good movies (Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, A Star is Born, the works of John Cassavetes and Sofia Coppola), they’ve covered bad movies (The Grinch, The Dilemma, the works of Nick Cassavetes), but mostly they’ve covered anonymous movies. Some of the best episodes of Reel Rap episodes focus on movies that no one has thought about — let alone discussed at length — in years or decades. Subscribing to Reel Rap is an opportunity to hear the definitive conversations on films like Ransom, Charlie Wilson’s War, and The Man Without a Face. Hit the button above to hear the latest episode of Reel Rap. This time around, the boys provide a quick overview of their shared history and reflect on the show’s past, present, and future.A Poem for Reel HeadsBy ShaneGrand theft and the heat’s on, mayorsAnd Everyone showing their assTom Cruise too. Washed up before he’s in the wash tubNo weeping for Willow, and Gung Ho to thoseWho narrowly adored Howard’s ransom, over our heartsThere is no evidence of survivors, drafts of backdraft hopelessly hopefullyBurned.

Im not a cinderella man, I’m a cinderella, man.  brave old heart, fuck you. I have no mind not beautiful unwise. Mel Gibson freedom, The missing. Missing out and strike anywhere matches on the lipOf poor Glenn Close's Paper. No code but Da Vinci’s for the man without a faceWho steals his passion from Christ. We never knew what happened on hack ridgeProbably where they make mince meat out of a guy who looks like Jesus.Angels and Aliens re-addressed their longstanding beef with cowboys and demons.Who’s frankenstein? OUR FRANKENSTEIN! Call me Ishtar’s monster, Five cent mike with none of the early sense that made him a primary colorWho’s afraid of a woman under the influence? Tom hanks, if I hazard a guess.Yellow does not run in this parade. Willow still weeps thought the water diviner creepsSomewhere I’m sure. A missing ransom that got lost in translation in a Chinese bookie’s car factory, here lies a far and away dream of licking a star. You were supposed to die at the bookie’s house, but you didn’t. You are amazing. Zathura’s birdcage shakes. Its your big day. And shadows of my uncle as he curled threats like husbands at our faces. Playtime, he called it. We knew he would be on holiday, and maybe for good. We’d commit to a sisterly suicide for our little christ and this pitiful alter serves less as a notebook and more as an Apollo, built with twigs and bound to guidance by brotherly voices. You are my man of iron, twice. On new leaves this elf found neverFound that nostalgic green in the heart of the sea, or in another woman. Queen Marie Would be without her beguiled chef who, wolflike, careened through a hospital lobby, looking for a new heart to break in traffic. Past interviews, beyond the satellite of blood beverages and apologies. The vampire doctor will see you now. Rescheduled for sinai. The test audience hates it, and here it is in two stoned tablets the Irish warrior finally shouted along with the country:Symbolic psychos like Mr. Sophistication rode the last taxi out into plasmatic sanguine sunsetAnd just before the credits became shadows and special thanks and all curtains,A skywriter in debt on borrowed time cashed in amidst the cosmos to sing one last time to no one in particular“That’s a Reel Rap!”What’s a Reel Head?For the Reel Head, cinema is a buffet (pronounced boo-fay) that can only give you diarrhea of the mouth. Reel heads gorge themselves at this buffet like a pig at the trough. It’s all slops, in a good way. If you miss getting pretzel nuggets before a 10:00AM matinee, you might be a Reel Head. If you’ve got Criterion discs behind lock and key, you might be a Reel Head. If your neckbeard has a neckbeard, you might be a Reel Head.Reel Head Viewing ListWhat are a Reel Head’s favorite flicks? Buddy, I’m glad you asked. Excluding the films they’ve covered on-mic, here are just a few that the boys would recommend to any would-be Reel Head: Archipelago (Joanna Hogg, 2010)Certain Women (Kelly Reichardt, 2016) Miami Vice (Michael Mann, 2006)Monterey Pop (D.A. Pennebaker, 1968)Ordet (Carl Theodore Dreyer, 1955) Safe (Todd Haynes, 1995)Sherman’s March (Ross McElwee, 1985)Sink or Swim (Su Friedrich, 1990)Toni Erdmann (Maren Ade, 2016)Maidstone (Norman Mailer, 1970)Why Actors-Turned-Directors?No character in Hollywood is more interesting than the actor who decides to direct. For some, the career change comes when roles dry up. For many others, however, it’s not a retreat but a bold, even hubristic, step in a new direction. If you’ll forgive me, I think Reel Rap’s own co-host Bennett said it best:The beret and jodhpurs confer entry into a new, higher sphere, the Pantheon of Keaton and Chaplin. The role of director validates the actor’s every pretension and, for many, provides an opportunity to affirm (or, more often, reaffirm) for the entire world just how hot and multi-talented they are.Did Bradley Cooper have to lower his voice, learn an instrument, and write his own songs to make A Star is Born? Of course he did, for the same reason he had to open a scene with a shot of his own bare ass. He’s an actor-turned-director and that’s what they do. 3 Reasons to Subscribe to Reel Rap The hosts have a genuine rapport: Bennett and Shane met in a high school gym class. Their relationship was incubated in a world of towel slinging and ass slaps. It began in earnest years later, feeding on new insecurities and giving birth to bit after bit. Listening to Reel Rap is like watching a blind-drunk Jackson Pollock at work, or like living inside the moment where Rip Torn swung a hammer at Norman Mailer for an hour or so every week. Shane and Bennett meld the high and low: Reel Rap Season 3 juxtaposed the transcendent films of John Cassavetes with the work of his beefy son Nick. John’s work practically invented American independent cinema as we know it, Nick’s is a strange blend of the maudlin and the hyper-masculine. The episodes covering both directors provide a picture of Reel Rap in microcosm, it’s a mix of high and low, a show with its nose pointed toward the trough and its eyes pointed toward the stars. Reel Rap’s hosts are a lot like Shrek. They wear crappy little vests and they’ve got layers. You’ll get into heaven: Shane promised indulgences duringReel Rap’s episode on The Da Vinci Code. That wasn’t some empty cash grab. Subscribing to Reel Rap’s Patreon at the $10/month level will earn you an indulgence and a spot behind those Pearly-ass Gates.Meet the HostsShane is an actor and writer living in Austin, Texas. He does 99.9% of Reel Rap’s behind-the-scenes work. At 12, he chopped his toe off with an axe while splitting wood barefoot at his home in Yardley, Pennsylvania. His first book of poetry Sliding into First is slated for release in January 2022. His influences include Norman Mailer, Francis Scott Key and Marianne Moore.Bennett coined the phrase “my man” and is an authority, perhaps the preeminent one, on “shitboy cinema.” He once swallowed over a pound of sunflower seed shells in one sitting. It required two surgeries over four days to remove them and, even still, he had to pass a bunch of shells the old-fashioned way for several days afterward. His favorite directors include Terence Davies, Joanna Hogg, and Tobe Hooper. How to Become a Reel Head Want to realize your lifelong dreams of becoming a reel head? You’re in luck, it’s easy!1.
