A Art Tv Review

 On the night of Sunday, May 22, 2011, a devastating EF5 tornado ripped through the city of Joplin, destroying everything in its path. As a result, 161 lives were lost, buildings were leveled, and the entire city was left a sobering pile of rubble. Netflix offers a wealth of intense documentaries on its platform, but perhaps none are as thrilling and impactful as "The Tornado: Caught in the Storm." With surprisingly good tension building to the devastation, along with an emotional conclusion that analyzes the aftermath of the disaster, this is a substantial documentary. And despite being less than 90 minutes long, this documentary is powerful. Director: Alexandra Lacey Writer: Alexandra Lacey The Joplin Tornado is told through raw, firsthand accounts from the people who lived through it. Specifically, a group of teenagers who managed to survive winds of over 200 mph and lived to tell the tale. It's an interesting narrative decision that generally works very well, although...

 Philip Barantini directs the four-part series about a teenager accused of murder, in which each episode unfolds in a single, continuous take. The ultimate sign of television’s arrival as a cinematic art form may be the medium’s growing obsession with the oner, the uninterrupted single-take technique that has long been part of the visual language of big-screen auteurs. Stars: Ashley Walters, Owen Cooper, Stephen Graham A six-minute sequence shot was, along with the presence of Matthew McConaughey, the prestige calling card of the first season of True Detective. Shows with such a different reception as The Bear and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story have generated their most buzz from entire episodes presented in one continuous take. Jeon Woo-Sung’s wild Korean thriller Bargain raised the bar even higher by telling its story in six episodes, each shot at least resembling an oner. In the second episode of Apple’s upcoming Hollywood satire The Studio, aptly titled “The Oner,” ...

 Now that John Wick is perhaps gone for good (at least if Keanu Reeves has anything to say about it), we’re in the era of unexpected action stars. We’ve seen Bob Odenkirk and Ke Huy Quan take their affable, run-of-the-mill personas and become action powerhouses (in 2021’s Nobody and this year’s Love Hurts, respectively). While we still have the traditional action stars of today (hello, Jason Statham!), there’s a new area of ​​opportunity to exploit. Welcome to the club, Novocaine. Jack Quaid, fresh off another genre-blending film (the sci-fi/horror film Companion), brings his boy-next-door charm to the role of Nathan Caine, an anxious assistant manager at a bank who seems to live a rather dull and monotonous life. We first see him sadly going about his morning routine as R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” plays, effectively setting the tone for Nate’s current emotional state. Nate has a neurological disorder that prevents him from feeling any kind of pain, or things like heat or cold. It s...

 It’s one of the oldest stories ever told, but “The Chosen” is finding success with a very fresh approach to bringing the episodic biblical epic to audiences. Originally available to stream on a dedicated app, “The Chosen” chose to release its third and fourth seasons in theaters through Fathom Entertainment — an unprecedented decision for a full season of television, in the case of Season 4. But the unconventional strategy paid off handsomely, with Fathom grossing $72 million to date through “The Chosen’s” two seasons, plus a Christmas feature. Now preparing to release the show’s fifth season, “The Chosen: Last Supper,” starting March 27, the specialty distributor is pulling out all the stops. It’s also a final rodeo for Fathom. The fifth season will be the last to be distributed by the company, as producers 5&2 Studios and global distributor Lionsgate recently made a deal for U.S. rights with Amazon to stream the final two installments as feature films. Amazon MGM will handle...

 Vertical has acquired The World Will Tremble, a historical drama about the escape from a Nazi concentration camp, for worldwide distribution. Tremble is the second feature film from Israeli-American writer-director Lior Geller, whose 2008 short film Roads holds the Guinness World Record for the most awards won by a student short film. Director: Lior Geller Writer: Lior Geller Stars: Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Jeremy Neumark Jones, Charlie MacGechan “We are proud to release Lior’s feature film about the incredible true story of this heroic escape that alerted the world to the events of the Holocaust,” said Vertical Senior Vice President of Acquisitions Tony Piantedosi. The film is scheduled for release on March 14. Of the more than 320,000 Jews sent to Chelmno, only four are known to have survived. Two of them attempted to escape (Wiener and Podchlebnik) to expose the truth and bear witness to the barbarity they witnessed. Geller spent a decade researching and writing the film and renow...
