We wrap up our Sports series with Mira Nair's 2016 film ‘Queen of Katwe.' We return to Nair after talking about ‘Salaam Bombay!' in our Coming of Age Debuts series. How does this one compare? How does it fit in the world of sports? And does it reach farther than most biopics?

Mira Nair seemed the perfect director to bring the true story of Phiona Mutesi to the big screen. She started her career with Salaam Bombay!, looking at the lives of children growing up in Mumbai in the late 80s. She lived in Uganda where the story took place. So when she was asked to be a part of it, it was an easy ‘yes' from her. And luckily, with her clout and background, she was able to convince the producers and Disney, the distributor, that she should film it in the slum of Katwe where the story took place. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Sports series with nair's 2016 fim Queen of Katwe. Queen of Katwe is a biopic with heart and authenticity. We both enjoy chess though neither of us are great at it. And we both enjoy films about chess. So why did we both miss this in theatres? Did it seem like a fairly standard biopic? Or like a TV movie? Unfortunately, we weren't alone as the film didn't make money at the box office. But that doesn't speak to the quality of the film. Yes, it feels like a fairly straightforward biopic, but it feels authentic. That speaks to Nair's drive to make it as real as possible. Film in the real locations where it took place. Cast non-actors to play the parts. And it works. With only Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo as the stars in the film, it feels like it's born of this world. And that's even with Disney working as the guiding force. Of course it does mean that talk of prostitution is kept vague and to a minimum. Poverty rings true but never feels as raw as it did in Salaam Bombay!. Even an introductory set-up scene from the end of the film sets the world of chess up for us unnecessarily. But do these things affect the story? Only a little. This is a more positive, uplifiting story by nature so to a certain extent, the focus doesn't hurt it much. Nair expertly works with her non-actor child stars, notably Madina Nalwanga as the lead playing Phiona, the chess champ. She's a revelation and brings incredible life to the story. We buy into everything. She deserves to be here and carries the film on her back. The other kids equally carry their roles. It's a touching family film that opens the world of Uganda and chess to anyone watching it. We feel these characters' journeys. In the end, it does feel like a biopic, but it's a strong one that warms the heart. We have a great time talking about it on the show so check it out then tune in.

Season 3 Ep 3 - Queen of Katwe - 2016 - PG 2 hours 6 minutes - Sometimes stories about real life can be wild and so meaningful! Lets get to Katwe in Uganda, Africa where we meet Phiona and learn with her how the game of Chess can be more than just learning some rules. Navigating life by thinking ahead and moving with intention are just some of the moves we ponder as we rewind together! Rewind with us!! 

Lets learn about synopsis and review! See the Spirited Away and Queen of Katwe. Come on!

In Episode 148, I converse with Phiona Mutesi,  who represented Uganda at four Women's Chess Olympiads, and is one of the first titled female players in Ugandan chess history. Mutesi is the subject of a 2012 book and a 2016 film called Queen of Katwe. She is the founder of the Phiona Mutesi Foundation. We speak about her upbringing in Uganda, dynamics between girls and boys in chess, a compare and contrast of she and Elizabeth Harmon of the Queen's Gambit, her life in the United States,  her plans after her upcoming graduation and more. 

Today's episode features the incredibly humble and generous Phiona Mutesi. From living in the streets in the slums of Katwe to learning chess in a Sports Outreach Institute missionary program to becoming one of her nation's top chess players competing in international competitions, Phiona Mutesi has come a long way from the 9-year old girl who came for a cup of porridge. The subject of the Disney movie “The Queen of Katwe,” Phiona is an inspiration to millions, and especially to girls in a nation where girls are particularly marginalized. Phiona is dedicated to using her platform to elevate African souls by providing education and supplies through her work with the Sports Outreach Institute Chess Academy and the Mutesi Phiona Foundation.

Hey guy's this week we are doing Queen of Katwe (2016) and drinking the Queen Phiona cocktail  2oz of Lime, Lemon & Orange Moonshine  1 1/2 oz Mango Juice  Top with club soda CHEERS!!

Miss Phiona Mutesi is called, The Queen of Katwe. However, her life has not been one of royalty, splendor, and riches. Coming from the despair of poverty and living on the streets, she became a national chess champion of Uganda and a world-class chess player. A book was written about her and Disney produced a movie by the same title, The Queen of Katwe. This is her story, her triumph, and her vision of the future she intends to build.#queenofkatweInstagram and Twitter: @gmartelly

"When there are stories that are important... there's a responsibility to that story and to that lesson, especially when it's based on a real person." This week on Married to the Media, Robin and Cass reflect on their very different experiences with watching the movie Queen of Katwe. A powerful story about a young girl in Uganda who learns to play chess and break her family out of extreme poverty, Queen of Katwe is the type of biography filmmakers strive to turn into cinematic art- a true story that can inspire the masses. Think of Seabiscuit, Memoirs of a Geisha, Slumdog Millionaire: award-winning accounts and films that stick with us because of their poignant lessons and beautiful storytelling.  The film follows Phiona Mutesi, 3-time Ugandan Women's Junior Champion in Chess, and her journey from the back streets of Katwe, Kampala's largest slum, to international grandmaster. But where raw material is present in spades, the refining of this gem of a tale is butchered by Disney. Poor dialogue editing and recording, choppy film editing, and a poor blend of cinematic genre throw the story under the rug for the first half of the film, only to barely recover in time for the powerful ending.  While Robin recommends this film to teach important character values and lessons, Cass thinks this isn't the best biopic to show in class. Hear their reasons and their criticisms for the studio in this week's episode of Married to the Media!

In this episode I sit down with myself and share a few thoughts on black people and not being afraid to dream and believe in our ability to be great. Furthermore I touched on how the black man/boy should provide the shoulder for their brother to cry on as we lament every day that nobody is there to listen to us so lets listen to each other. Black Panther,Binti,Queen Of Katwe,The Dream,Common and Pusha T all get mentions. Hope you enjoy.

In this episode, Courtney and guest co-host Kristen Lopez (Roger Ebert, Hollywood Reporter) journey to Uganda through Disney's Queen of Katwe directed by Mira Nair. They also discuss this episode's short film pick First Match by Olivia Newman.

In today's episode of Beers, Beats & Bailey, we review the Mira Nair-directed biographical sports film "Queen of Katwe", the drab attempt by comedian Kevin James at action comedies with Netflix's "True Memoirs of an International Assassin" and the extended cut of "Suicide Squad", which amazingly managed to make an admittedly mediocre movie even worse.   QUEEN OF KATWE - 8:02 TRUE MEMOIRS OF AN INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN - 18:09 SUICIDE SQUAD (EXTENDED CUT) - 48:42   MATTHEW BAILEY ON SOCIAL MEDIA: legallyblack.word

We'll try to keep this brief, D-Lovers - there's not much that can be said here that our hosts don't already say in this week's episode. Suffice to say, we highly recommend watching Disney's QUEEN OF KATWE before pushing play on this week's episode. Go ahead, it's on Netflix, we'll wait. We promise you won't regret it. Trust us, if Vicky, Nolan and Jill are anything to go off of, you'll want to spend the next sixty-plus minutes raving about what you just saw to anyone who will listen, and we've got you covered on that front on We Want The D.

Queen of Katwe Sinopse “O filme descreve a vida de Phiona Mutesi, uma xadrezista ugandesa nascida na cidade de Katwe, que tornou-se uma candidata mestre após seus desempenhos nas olimpíadas de Xadrez” wikipedia. O Filme traz como protagonista Madina Nalwanga, e coadjuvantes Lupita Nyongo, David Oyelowo, Martin Kabanza, Edgar Kanyike. Genero: Desporto, Drama e Biográfico Realizadora: Mira Nair Produção John Carls e Lydia Dean Pilcher Edição: Barry Alexander Brown Orçamento: 15 milhões de dólares americano Analise Sequencia: o trailer nos oferece uma sequencia clara que nos dá a entender o espaço geográfico do filme através do plano geral logo na primeira cena apresentada no trailer, com ajuda de legenda que apresenta o pais e religião onde foi filmado. Possui uma narrativa motivacional mesmo para aquelas pessoas que não entendem o que esta a dizer nos diálogos (visto que o trailer oficial é inglês), através das imagem percebesse que Phiona apesar de viver num bairro suburbano de Uganda, tem um sonho de vencer na vida, e procura dar seu melhor até aprender a jogar xadrez. Depois varias batalhas de xadres e descriminação (Bulling) se torna em uma verdadeira campeã mundial de xadrez. Pode-se constatar isso nos seguintes segundo do trailer 1 do filme: seg/20, seg/28 seg/33 seg/ 55, 56, 57 | min/ 1:40 seg | min 1:46 Fotografia: o diretor de fotografia junto o diretor de figurino e maquiagem souberam propor as melhores imagens, levando o telespectador a viajar a realidade das zonas suburbanas de África. Colorização: as cores do filme nós levam a entender de uma forma inconsciente a construção dramática no trailer, por exemplo em todos as partes em que o Phiona tem esperança, momentos de reflexão, e força de ir enfrente com seus sonhos e predominante nas cenas tons azuis. Mas quando Ela sente-se fraca, fora da zona de conforto vimos de uma forma mais acentuada os tons amarelos ajudando no drama do filme. Quando ela se torna campeã no 1: 47 seg do trailer vimos ainda isso mais presente Tons azuis e o amarelo para traz representando fim de uma jornada que valeu apenas lutar E cor laranja ganha presença substituindo o amarelo no vestuário de Phiona. Um dos aspecto que também passa despercebido no trailer, é bem logo no plano geral do segundo 46 onde phiona esta dentro do carro antes dela sair para fora da janela. Vimos que phiona também é uma jovem que acredita em Deus porque o Carro que a leva tem uma símbolo religioso, jesus pregado na cruz mostrando que o bairro suburbano também tem uma presença elavada de cristão apesar de suas lutas. Som: O Trailer também nos traz uma boa sonoplastia e trilha sonora. Agora a pergunta que não se cala é: será que o filme é tão bom quanto ao trailer? Mesmo assim recomento ver.

What would you rather see, Jeremy Corbyn's favourite film or Ian Duncan Smith's least favourite film? Don't worry you don't have to choose you just have to go see I, Daniel Blake - Ken Loach's brilliant, powerful film about the failures of the welfare state. We spent most of the review just crying and applauding, but apparently Katie's edited that out and just kept the bits where we talked. Meanwhile, Danny reviews Queen of Katwe, the Ugandan set drama starring Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo. If you like chess, poverty and inspiration (and why wouldn't you) then this is the movie for you. PLUS we discuss YouTube's plans to muscle in on the TV market, examine the new Star Wars: Rogue One trailer in absurd depths, and wonder whether Danny Elfman is a racist.

With Francine Stock. Actor and producer David Oyelowo outlines his plans to revolutionize the British film industry and to make films that are genuinely diverse and reflective of the United Kingdom. Oyelowo argues that industry orthodoxies about what audiences want are "lies". And he explains why his son assumed that he would be playing the best friend, and not the male lead, in his new film The Queen Of Katwe. Francine visits Mouth That Roars, an organisation based in Hackney which trains teenagers in film production, many of whom are from communities that are under-represented in British Cinema. Denise Rose explains how her company is trying to redress the balance. The result of the BFI poll to find the best loved performance by a black star is announced exclusively on the programme.

It's a Mousetalgia Review Revue! First, Kristen reviews Queen of Katwe. Kristen lived in sub-Saharan Africa for 3 months and has a unique perspective on the meaning and authenticity of the film. Then, we revisit "Walt Disney Studios - A Lot to Remember" and give a brief review of the book, along with speculation about its recall by the Walt Disney Company. Kristen buys a back issue of Animatrix featuring animator Frank Thomas and discusses Thomas' view of attributing film credits and working with Walt; then she discusses the newest re-release of Beauty and the Beast on Blu-Ray and reveals some details from the bonus content. Finally, we discuss "Tinker Bell Talks," and Margaret Kerry's "accidental" release of her new autobiography. Plus: we discuss our Disneyland dreams and wonder what they mean.

In this special edition of Good Film Hunting, we talk about a current release that absolutely EVERYONE should see, Queen of Katwe.

Make sure to keep a weather eye for the next five or ten moves in front of you before you begin listening to this new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema. What are you going to do while listening? Exercise? Eat? Do laundry? What about what comes after that? It's thinking like this that lends itself to the game of chess, which is at the heart of this week's film for discussion, Queen of Katwe, Disney's latest true-story film. This one's directed by Mira Nair, and stars Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo; it's set and shot in Uganda and focuses on a girl living in the slums who can make her way out thanks to her gift of playing chess. Gabe and Josh are joined by friend of the show Jason Bailey of Flavorwire to discuss Queen of Katwe, though maybe it's better to say the trio debate the film, and you might be surprised where the dissent comes from. Is this movie worth your time? Is it time for Disney to focus solely on brand deposits? Check out the show to find out!

Phiona Mutesi, who we see growing up in Katwe, in the crime-ridden slums of Kampala, capital of Uganda, with a future ahead of her that seems to offer more of the same for her and her family. David Oyelowo co-stars as Christian missionary and youth outreach coordinator Robert Katende, who discovers a hidden prodigy in Phiona when he gathers some of the local children together to teach them the game of chess. Phiona gets very good, very quickly, soon enough besting all of the kids in Katwe, leading Robert to seek greener pastures by trying to have her compete in competitions sponsored by schools for the more formally educated. However, opportunities are scarce for someone of her situation (not only prejudice against people of the slums, but you also need money to enter some of the competitions), and Phiona's widowed mother Harriet grows increasingly concerned that the path Robert has her on will lead to a diminishing of her home life and earning money to help feed her and the family by selling maize (corn) at the local market.

Deepwater Horizon, Miss Peregrine's..., Queen of Katwe, Masterminds by The Screening Room

The Cogills both agree "Queen Of Katwe" is a rare film shot on the streets of Uganda celebrating a young girl and the sport of the mind, Chess. Hayley calls "checkmate" with an equally beautiful Truvee Rose' from the McBride sisters.....Then the couple speed off to Austin, Texas for a pit stop at the Lone Star Le Mans while sipping a bubbly from Zonin 1821. https://www.facebook.com/cogillconsulting https://twitter.com/garycogill http://www.cogillconsulting.com https://www.facebook.com/dallasuncorked https://twitter.com/DallasUncorked https://instagram.com/DallasUncorked `

On this week's Back to the Movies, we're continuing our trip into the waters of family drama with Disney's Queen of Katwe? starring David Oyelowo and Lupita Nyong'o. The film follows a young girl from the slums of Uganda named Phiona Mutesi who finds her calling when a football coach decides to start a chess club. The film follows Phiona's journey to finding happiness and success for her family through her passion for Chess. Queen of Katwe is an especially unique film thanks to its inclusion of women working on the film both behind behind the scenes and in front of the camera. This week I'm rejoined by The Film Syllabus's Alexandra Bohannon to review the film after we've talked about what we've been watching. Alexandra was excited to talk about her recent binge of RuPaul's Drag Race and the former hit show Parks and Rec. I talk about last weekend's Magnificent 7 and whether or not it brings anything fresh to the western genre. I also talk about another recent foray into anime with Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue. The two of us also talk about our recent watches of the criminally underrated film from William Friedkin, Sorcerer. Following this week's review of Queen of Katwe, we will be taking a couple of small breaks in October so that we can prepare for the upcoming slate of holiday releases. Never fear dear listener! We'll still be bringing you reviews of Birth of a Nation and Girl on a Train in October as fast as we can get them out.  The breaks will give us the time we need to be prepared to deliver quality reviews of some of the most anticipated movies of the year including Dr. Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Rogue One.  Thanks for your understanding!If you also want to find ways to help support the show, please head on over to iTunes and give us a rating!Rate and Review on iTunesFollow Us on Twitter @Good_TrashLike Us on FacebookLike what you hear?

It's been a while since I posted a short episode because life and laziness has gotten in the way. In this morsel of Off White-ness, I wax poetic on TIFF and briefly touch on the Emmys — which is all old news considering they happened weeks ago. But I also give a ringing endorsement to Disney's Queen of Katwe for not having a "white savior" and examine the diversity of Fall TV.

Favorite Fall T.V. Pilots; Disney's Queen of Katwe (starring Lupita Nyong'o, David Oyelowo, and introducing Madina Nalwanga as Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi) (9:30); Mad Women? a look back at the 1960s with Amazon's Good Girls Revolt (with Grace Gummer as Nora Ephron) (12:50); and Netflix' Easy - 8 vignettes about art & sex written & directed by Joe Swanberg (26:08).

Welcome to the House of Crouse. Based on the book The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster the Disney movie Queen of Katwe tells the tale of how Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), an illiterate girl from a very poor family in Kampala, Uganda, learned to play chess and with the help of mentor Robert Katende (David Oyelowo) became a World Chess Olympiads contestant. Meet director Nair, real life inspirations Mutesi and Katende and star Oyelowo as they stop by the HoC.

This week the guys get in on the game of using three fictional characters to describe themselves. Then Evan and Kris talk about the 70mm and Widescreen Festival at the Somerville Theatre (at 7:04), where they saw TRON and SLEEPING BEAUTY. While discussing how beautiful these films look, they each share new elements that they discovered by watching them on the big screen. After that, Dave provides a “Riedel’s Recap” of GREEN ROOM (at 15:56), which offers specific comparisons to Jeremy Saulnier’s previous movie BLUE RUIN. Next, Kris delivers a “Keeping up with the Jensons” about DEMON (at 21:32), where he offers a very different take on the picture than Evan. Dave transitions into THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS (at 29:57), a Ron Howard documentary that attempts to whitewash tensions between the band’s members. Finally, Kris and Evan close out with QUEEN OF KATWE (at 39:10), a Disney sports movie about chess, which is carried by good humor and cute kids learning about life.
