A Art Tv Review

 The title »THE WORLD OF TOMORROW« sounds like science fiction, but from the audience's point of view, it seems like a response to the »no future« of the British punk movement. In the late 1970s, Daniel Bigeault, still not of legal age, traveled to the United States. The Frenchman collects funk and soul records and hopes to one day work as a disc jockey. His interest in music led him to the first hip-hop parties. Hip hop is more than a style of music.  A subculture of dance, poetry, art, fashion, born in black neighborhoods. Bigeault is one of the first to bring the phenomenon to France and establish it, not without effort and sacrifice. He works as a DJ and radio host, paid poorly or not at all, throws parties and produces his first album. At the same time, suburban youth, many with an immigrant background, are discovering rap as a means of expression. Against exclusion, racism, police violence. Right-wing populist Le Pen collects votes, migrants die in police custody. Materi...

 A singing sensation in need of a new tune and a sweltering single dad in need of a key change make a decent duo in Netflix's seasonal offering. As sweet, gooey and bouncy as a candy cane, "Christmas With You" provides a refreshingly sugary boost to any Netflix subscriber's movie diet. Centering on a burned-out pop star seeking creative inspiration and finding love, this holiday offering welcomes co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. to rom-coms, a genre he's been absent from for the past two decades. It also offers unexpected seasonal delights with an authentic and universal appeal. The ease with which he presents moving and comic hijinks allows specific aspects of Latin American culture to shape and amplify his genuine emotional impact. And what a beautiful gift that turns out to be. Director: Gabriela Tagliavini Writers: Paco Farias, Jennifer C. Stetson, German Michael Torres Stars: Aimee Garcia, Freddie Prinze Jr., Deja Monique Cruz Recording artist Angelina (Aimee Garci...

From the stables of the makers of the German sci-fi thriller, Dark comes another haunting and fear-filled film that is sure to leave hearts racing. 1899 is the second project in Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese's deal with Netflix and promises to be just as compelling as the first. Though consistent with his stylistic inclination to deliver horror and thrills in equal measure, this project takes a slightly different trajectory, leaning more towards mystery with less time travel incorporated into the plot. A truly international show keen to project the linguistic diversity of Europe, 1899 has several European languages ​​spoken on film. From Polish to French, Spanish and German, it's a fitting montage of European culture. An ambitious project, 1899 was produced using the latest cutting-edge technology to render its visual effects. A game engine is used to create virtual sets, and motion graphics allow for high-level in-camera editing. Creators: Baran bo Odar, Jantje Friese Stars:...

 One of the best Brazilian documentaries of all time on art in general, not only for its incredible and moving story, but for its extraordinary care in producing even the smallest details. It clearly shows a very meticulous, sensitive and mature work of art direction, execution, writing, editing and finishing. Director: Juliana Vicente Stars: Ice Blue, Mano Brown, Edi Rock It goes far beyond bringing a wealth of historical documents, raw art media, news, photos, unique and rare collectibles, but almost entirely delves into the movement, history, and culture of black Brazilians in regards to that specific period in such a responsible way that it resulted in this magnificent work on the most important, popular and iconic musical group in the country. Surely they are much more than that, as the film exposes... they are opinion makers, educators, fashion creators, influencers in their true and original concept, these guys transformed minds, worlds and cultures. If someone doesn't admir...

Chilean director Sebastián Lelio's solidly riveting new film, “The Wonder,” is set in 19th century post-famine Ireland, which aligns with the trappings of its source material: the author's 2016 novel of “ Room”, Emma Donoghue. That sounds obvious, but when the film opens, it's not a rain-lashed field, but a brightly lit modern soundstage with scaffolding around what appears to be a boxy house set, and a woman's voice telling us. says we're about to watch a movie. She hopes that we give in to the illusion, because she, she says, "we are nothing without stories." In fact, cinema is both a challenge of belief and an opportunity to join the great narrative that is humanity. So every movie is possibly, yes, a marvel. But few draw attention to it, as if the imaginary audience were culture-hungry innocents or alien beings, not well-laid-back Netflix subscribers. Director: Sebastián Lelio Writers: Emma Donoghue, Sebastián LelioAlice Birch Stars: Florence Pugh, Tom...

Of all the thoughts I had while watching Trevor Noah's I Wish You Would, the most persistent was: is this even possible in India? The question was not unfounded. I'll tell you why. Noah's new comedy special is deliberately funny, downright hilarious. It's also an hour-long exposé of how far words can travel, aided by humor, when uncensored, and a testament to what that flight can accomplish. The set occupies the sweet spot between trenchant criticism and lucid introspection, leaving no one, not even the speaker, unscathed. Each comic has its own style. Ricky Gervais knows a joke has arrived when the listener is offended. Hasan Minhaj orchestrates his set as a rousing performance. Lately, Aziz Ansari's stand-ups have become more of a self-reflexive exercise, prompting the audience to both observe and admit. Noah doesn't do any of this, especially in his last special of him. What he does, however, is gauge his performance so expertly that even when he jumps from s...

The kids, along with the townspeople, who see Matt as the hero who will save the farm from the developers, come together to convince Matt why Mistletoe Farm is much more important than h...

When the movie started, it felt like a Christmassy twist on Disney's Zombies movie musicals. The characters danced and sang along the beautifully decorated streets. It was all light-hearted and light-hearted, until the main character, Jake, showed some selfishness and disregard for others during the holiday season. So, SHOCK! An injury turned his vacation in a new and more meaningful direction. The historical scenes had fantastic costume design and continued with fun and entertaining music. Director: Sandra L. Martin Writer: Sandra L. Martin Stars: Lawson Touliatos, Leela Owen, Dimitri Mareno My favorite movie musical of all time is The Greatest Showman. I can watch that movie over and over again.

It's a family movie, you don't have to worry about every scene if it's safe for your kids to watch it. Lik...

However, he could not remain hidden and unaffected for long, as he was hunted by those who were already infected.

 Jonah Hill's therapy film Stutz, coming to Netflix on November 14, could change your life. That's Hill's hope, anyway. The 38-year-old actor best known for his roles in comedies like Superbad and 21 Jump Street changed when he met his therapist, Phil Stutz, at a low point in his life. I'll admit, I was skeptical when I first heard that Hill had directed and starred in a documentary in which he interviewed his therapist. The idea is uncomfortable. Therapy is meant to be private, contained, and not discussed in polite company... right? Broadcasting your sessions to the world is an exercise in narcissism, indulgence and oversharing... right? Hill demonstrates that this line of thought is incorrect. He uses his celebrity platform to further destigmatize the social taboo on therapy and provide a much less expensive option for those of us who can't afford Hollywood rates. But more than that, it opens up in a way so raw and honest that even the most cynical viewers will b...

For a fleeting moment, the 1990s flirted with being the decade of luxury, an era of all-out glamor not seen since the heyday of Hollywood. Grunge rose and fell, lights faded on neon biker shorts, a generation outgrew its polka-dot scrunchies, and, seemingly out of nowhere, pop culture was all too interested in 1930s-40s put-together chic. You can see it on the debut seasons of Frasier, Friends and News Radio or the Coen brothers' Hudsucker Proxy, among many other places. They're all pop culture artifacts from an era when blinding, over-the-top prints were in and earthy tones were in. neon!) were the true successors to the early 90's aesthetic and we would all ride that killer wave into the new millennium. But that 18-month wave of vintage nostalgia gave us more than just Chandler's downright ridiculous Art Deco-inspired ties and Jimmy James' flowy double-breasted suits. He gave us a fresh take on Miracle on 34th Street, one that brought all the elegance of the 1947 ...

 Two years ago, Zac Efron grew a large beard and began traveling the world in search of sustainable solutions to the man-made problems plaguing our environment. Part travel series, part nature documentary, and part brand extension, Down to Earth Season 1 felt like a gentle balm for a terrified audience when it debuted on Netflix months into the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a serious, down-to-earth and occasionally silly globe-trotting expedition into conservation, wellness, ayahuasca and organic chocolate, but it was Efron's light-hearted storytelling that turned out to be the real treat. On Friday, we can all come down to Earth once more, as Netflix debuts eight new episodes, all of which are approximately 40 minutes long. While our previous episode was filmed before the pandemic, this one was filmed in the midst of it, so instead of traveling the world looking for different perspectives, Efron, along with his co-host and wellness expert Darin Olien and his team , they spend season 2...

“Capturing the Killer Nurse” is a documentary about Charles Cullen, the serial killer whose chilling story is the basis for the Eddie Redmayne/Jessica Chastain film “The Good Nurse.” Both movies are being released on Netflix, in what has become a synergistic system of true crime as cross-promotion. What both versions show is that the Cullen saga may be the first case of a serial killer being enabled by corporate malpractice. Cullen, a geek with a porn star mustache and a grinning grin who spent 16 years as a highly respected nurse in the Northeast, injected hospital drugs, primarily the heart failure drug Digoxin, into several patients, killing them "invisibly." He ”he He was arrested in December 2003 and confessed to the murder of 29 people; many think he killed close to 400. Given that his history of foul play dates back to the early 1990s, and that he worked at nine different hospitals, hopping from one to another, it seems likely that the total number of victims was much ...

 As of this writing, Ancient Apocalypse has been sitting comfortably in Netflix's Top 10 list for several days. This presents a bit of a mystery, because the show sounds a lot like the kind of half-baked filler documentary that one of Discovery's lesser channels would put out at 3 am between shows about plane crashes and fascist architecture. Ancient Apocalypse obviously has an audience, but who the hell is it? Fortunately, you don't have to look long to find out. In quick succession, during the pre-show sizzle, we receive clips of the show's host, Graham Hancock, being interviewed by Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan. Finally, we have an answer: Ancient Apocalypse should be a TV show made exclusively for people who like to yell at you on Twitter. Stars: Graham Hancock, Joe Rogan, Danny Hilman Natawidjaja Of course it is. These people are Hancock's bread and butter; the "freethinkers" who, through some strange quirk of nature, are often more outraged than anyo...

 Alabama has a terrible record when it comes to the convictions of women and minorities. Located along the "Bible Belt" in the US, the Brittany Smith case was a hot topic in 2018 and has been rife with debate on both sides of the argument ever since as to whether this woman was justified. in the use of force to kill an attacker inside his own home. "After considering all the evidence, the court finds that the defendant has given inconsistent accounts of the events surrounding Todd's death, beginning with the 911 call...and has attempted to alter or destroy the evidence," the judge wrote. "The court also finds that the defendant's testimony on material facts was significantly at odds with the physical evidence, exhibits, and other witness testimony." Director: Ryan White Stars: Dawn Hendricks, Chris McCallie, Ramona McCallie Given the back and forth discussion that goes on about the Brittany Smith case, it's a bit disappointing that the Netflix ...
