A Art Tv Review

When truth is stranger than fiction, why novelize it? This is the problem besetting ITVX's new drama Litvinenko, which stars David Tennant as the eponymous Russian defector and outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, who was fatally poisoned, apparently by Russian state agents, in London with polonium-210. . Maybe ITV just had another part of their contract with David Tennant left and thought, “You know what? Shave his head, tuck him into a hospital bed, squint a little, and he'll be the spitting image of…” Then he built a threadbare show around her. Stars: Margarita Levieva, Mark Bonnar, Neil Maskell And he is shabby. A painstaking, by-the-numbers effort that's noticeably less riveting and, perhaps more importantly, since the murder of an innocent man is the pivotal event, less moving than the real-life unfolding. The extraordinary poisoning and later death of him appeared, by Alexander Litvinenko's own design, on the front pages to bring home the horror of himself and the

Mid-budget, actor-driven horror movies are my jam. They can be charming and exciting with the best, and that's Midnight by Dread Presents. A South Korean film, Midnight is written and directed by Kwon Oh-Seung and stars Wi Ha-jun, Jin Ki-Joo, Gil Hae-yeon, and Kim Hye-Yoon. At just over an hour and 30 minutes, Midnight is more about creating and maintaining tension with its actors than its story. In Midnight, fear grips the country of South Korea when a serial killer, Do Shik (Wi Ha-Joon), stalks its residents. Kyung-mi (Jin Ki-joo), a deaf woman, is out late with her mother when she comes across a young woman bleeding to death in a dark alley. While the two just want to get home and plan their trip to Jeju Island, they stumble upon a brutal crime with no apparent end. What begins with Kyung-mi trying to help Do Shik find her sister turns into realizing that the kind man is actually a brutal killer.

Plane Gerard Butler returns to the genre that made him a star in this action thriller about a downed plane on a remote island in the Philippines. He will have to brave the jungle on a rescue mission alongside Mike Colter (Luke Cage) and with the remote help of Tony Goldwyn, if he wants to get his passengers out alive. Plane will be released by Lionsgate in theaters on January 13, 2023. An action movie starring Gerard Butler and Mike Colter might seem like an obvious win to everyone, especially audiences, but Plane has had a surprisingly turbulent journey on the big screen. The rights to this action movie about a plane crash were first acquired by MadRiver Pictures in 2016 and in 2019 Lionsgate acquired the distribution rights to the film. This seemingly straightforward deal was significantly complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic which delayed filming and even caused Lionsgate to briefly drop the project. But now finally, despite all the bumps, this tense action flick is finally landing

Ginny & Georgia follows the struggles of growing up, being a parent, and how complicated mother-daughter relationships are. While it may seem like your typical feel-good TV show, Georgia's past is full of dark secrets; though she feels that she's finally over them, she couldn't be more wrong. Her secrets are coming to light one way or another. Creator: Sarah Lampert Stars:

Director: Barbara J. Hall Stars: Bill Anderson, Barbi Benton, Garth Brooks Facing the Laughter: Minnie Pearl is a comprehensive documentary on the life and work of Sarah Cannon, also known as Minnie Pearl. Sarah was a serious and educated woman who once dreamed of becoming a Shakespearean actress, but she found fame playing a simple country girl who often became the butt of her jokes. Instantly identifiable, even in silhouette, by her straw hat with a price tag dangling from her brim, Minnie Pearl became an icon of country music radio, stage and television. When she greeted the audience, they enthusiastically repeated her signature "Howdee" with a happy roar. While Sarah and Minnie were two sides of the same coin, they share a legacy of compassion, empowerment, and humor. It was a dichotomy: Sarah was educated, serious, intelligent, eloquent, ambitious, and untraditional in many ways. Minnie was simple, direct, playful, and quite traditional. A young woman from a small town i

"Distant" is the mysterious sci-fi film that will be released in early 2023. Produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, the film appears to be a send-off to 1980s sci-fi adventure movies, a time when Amblin Entertainment movies were all the rage. The space-set movie will feature some rising stars (pun intended) and is helmed by some directors with strong comedy pedigrees. There aren't many plot details available right now, as the filmmakers seem to be teasing more of a type of movie than meets the eye.

 Sony Pictures Classics releases the film in select theaters on Friday, November 25. Florian Zeller doesn't make movies, he makes birth control at 24 fps. Adapted from his play of the same name, and adding rich cinematic dimensions to the text's witty structural conceit, Zeller's brilliant and unrelenting "The Father" shook people by how it simultaneously conveyed the confusion of suffering from dementia and the anguish of losing a loved one. a loved one. one to that. The follow-up to it, which similarly originated on the stage, makes the devastating debut of the writer-director feel like a "Paddington" movie by comparison. Lacking the puzzle-box magic that enabled Zeller's previous film to salvage deep traces of humanity from the onslaught of his mental illness, "The Son" delivers a stark, straightforward family portrait that emphasizes the meaninglessness of depression. through the simplicity of its plot. Is it an unusually honest depicti

Tarik Saleh put his hand on a timeless aspect of Egyptian politics: the interplay of power between political leaders (the military) and religious figures (Al Azhar). This delicate subject had never been addressed before. Which is ironically why this movie fails. The reason Egyptian cinema (or “Hollywood-sur-Nil” as some used to call it in its glamor days) hasn't addressed this issue is simple: censorship. Egyptian filmmakers and actors would not be allowed to talk about this taboo. In fact, this film will not be shown in Egyptian theaters. Director: Tarik Saleh Writer: Tarik Saleh Stars: Tawfeek Barhom, Fares Fares, Mohammad Bakri The direct consequence is that only foreign filmmakers can make a film that deals with this sensitive subject. And this is where things go wrong. The film understandably fails to capture any Egyptian essence. The dialogues are unnatural. The characters and attitudes are artificial. Add to this the fact that the cast is virtually free of Egyptians (for the
