A Art Tv Review

Everyone knows that Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet died in December 2006 at the age of 91, more than 30 years after seizing power from Salvador Allende in a coup d'état that was followed by censorship, torture, mass internments and disappearances. forced into the capital. pleasure of an unelected regime that drained the country of its vitality for generations to come. What the cheeky and grotesque “El Conde” (or “El Conde”) by Pablo Larraín presupposes is… what if he didn't? Addressing directly a figure whose dark shadow has skirted some of the director's previous works (specifically "No," "Post Mortem" and "Tony Manero"), this fanged satire on the persistence of evil imagines that Pinochet is still alive and kicking Or, more accurately: undead and hating them. In Larraín's conception, Pinochet is a 250-year-old vampire who first developed his bloodlust during the French Revolution, during which he so fetishized Marie Antoinette's in

 Netflix has just released the official trailer for the live-action version of “One Piece”, about a group of young pirates. The show, which will launch on August 31, is an adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's beloved manga series of the same name. The story follows a boy named Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) who can stretch his body as if it were made of rubber and travels with a group of friends called the Straw Hat Pirates in search of a treasure known as One Piece, which would make him the Pirate King. Creators: Steven Maeda, Matt Owens Stars: Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd The manga has also been adapted into a long-running anime series, making "One Piece" a story that already has a dedicated fan following.

In one scene, Luffy promises that they will find One Piece on the Grand Line, "a treacherous strip of ocean with bigger islands and big

 Have you ever been so frustrated by a romantic comedy that you wanted to choose who would be the main character? Now you can with Netflix's interactive movie "Choose Love," the trailer for which dropped Tuesday. The story features Laura Marano (“Austin & Ally,” “The Perfect Date”) as Cami Conway, who seems pretty content with her life and her boyfriend Paul (Scott Michael Foster) until she goes to see a tarot reader who tells her that your life may be missing something. She doesn't exactly love her sound mixing job, but the rest of her is manageable. Director: Stuart McDonald Writer: Josann McGibbon Stars: Laura Marano, Avan Jogia, Scott Michael Foster The fun begins when she is faced with multiple life choices that could take her in a different direction. She bumps into childhood sweetheart Jack Menna (Jordi Webber) one day after it hadn't crossed her mind in years, and soon after, if she decides not to kiss him when they catch up, she has a recording sessio

As someone who grew up in Texas in the late 1980s, when “Aristotle and Dante Uncover the Secrets of the Universe” is set, I can assure you: the last thing a closeted southern teen wants is to stand out. That must make it a special kind of torture to be named after thinkers your peers probably won't read until college. On the other hand, it's also a wonderful bonding opportunity for two guys who don't fit in until they meet, although it will take a bit of time to untangle what they both want in a movie that they sorely wish had been around decades ago. earlier. Now is as good a time as any for the world to discover Aristotle and Dante, not the Greek philosopher and author of the "Divine Comedy," but the main characters in Benjamin Alire Sáenz's beloved YA novel. Imagine "Brokeback Mountain" through Judy Blume. Set in El Paso, the book poses a question a quarter of a century before its 1987 setting, but perfect for ours: Should best friends become boyf

 There are five couples in The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On: Antonio and Roxanne (together 4 years, she's not sure she wants to be with a man whose ambition doesn't match hers), Lisa and Brian (together 2 years, he's hoping to be more financially secure before proposing), Ryann and James (together for 7 years, he doesn't believe in the idea of "true love"), Trey and Riah (together for 2 years, she's not sure what she wants in life and isn't ready for anything long term), and Kat and Alex (together 2 years, he says she drives him crazy). During the first week, all couples will break up (and from now on refer to their partners as their exes) and casually date other members of the opposite sex who are participating in the show. Then they'll pair up with one of them and live together for three more weeks to see what it's like to be "married" to someone else. At the end of the experience, the hope is that they realize that they came to this

 I never thought I'd find myself sitting down watching another one of these, but here we are. Squared Love, the Polish-language Netflix original, probably did decent enough to warrant a sequel, but a trilogy? Did we really need this threequel? Short answer: no way! As if the first film wasn't already replete with tropes and clichés, the second and third parts divert attention from the main couple and jump right into new characters who become weeds in Monika and Stefan's field of love.  The third film in the franchise picks up immediately after the end of Squared Love All Over Again. It starts off as finally showing us how Stefan and Monika need time to get to know each other and possibly what it would be like for them to have a family soon, but quickly turns to something else. It's a story as old as time: a jealous couple, an ex introducing himself, and a son to a man he had no idea existed. Director: Filip Zylber Writers: Natalia Matuszek, Wiktor Piatkowski Stars: Miro

 Baki is a tough customer. Just don't mess with him. But even he finds his match when it comes to a human who has just been thawed out of the ice: Pickle. More powerful than a T-rex, Pickle escapes from the laboratory where other humans have been experimenting on him and decides to challenge some of the most competent fighters in all of Tokyo. While he outclasses most, he still needs to take on Baki. But that will come later, once we've seen Pickle give it his all, against a variety of familiar faces and new fighters, all of whom believe they can take on this ultimate challenge... but end up folding like wet. cardboard. Stars: Troy Baker, Kirk Thornton, Mick Wingert Basically, that's it: nothing complicated here, no philosophical rants to deliver, no evil masterminds to deal with, just a prehistoric man who has a really scary pair of gloves, going through tons of guys and showing them what for. . And you can and should be here for it. For a series called “Baki Hanma”, this

 In the mythical realms of Netflix's 'Ragnarok', where the divine collides with the mundane, Season 3 emerges like a thunderous tempest, leaving audiences enthralled and slightly unsatisfied. As the winds of fate continue to howl in the small Norwegian town, the story of 18-year-old high school senior Magne unfolds: a modern-day David destined to slay the ancient evil Goliath that threatens not only his town, but the very roots of their land. With a plot that seems as tumultuous as the storms that haunt the landscape, season three weaves a compelling narrative. It's a saga that not only unfolds the ancient battle between gods and mortals, but also deftly tackles issues like climate change and the intricate web of high school dynamics. Magne's transformation from a mere teenager to a mighty warrior goes hand in hand with his journey of self-discovery, an arduous path littered with decisions that carry the weight of nations. The audience is forced to ponder: What woul

“The Good Mother,” Albany-raised writer-director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte's feature film shows the city in its raw authenticity (and shows how the opioid epidemic destroys lives) and does not neglect the difficulties of the newspaper business, struggling to remain financially viable. “The Good Mother” will be released on September 1st. Swank spent five weeks filming in Albany, including multiple days of filming ending after midnight for night scenes. He also rescued a stray dog that had wandered onto the set, which thrilled the 15-year-old dog's owner when they reunited. Director: Miles Joris-Peyrafitte Writers: Madison Harrison, Miles Joris-Peyrafitte Stars: Olivia Cooke, Hilary Swank, Jack Reynor In addition to the Times Union, scenes were shot at the Empire State Plaza, the Capitol, the South Pearl coffee shop, the Rensselaer Amtrak station, inside houses on Madison Place and Morris Street, and on a set built inside New Scotland Avenue Armory on the Sage Albany campus.

 Toya Johnson-Rushing and Reginae Carter are taking control of the narrative with their new reality series. With so much speculation about them on blogs and on social media, Lil Wayne's ex-wife and daughter are setting the record straight by giving viewers a deeper look into their lives on WE TV's “Toya & Reginae,” which will be released on August 1. 24. "This is a family show based on family drama, business projects, relationships, love, friends and all that good stuff," Johnson-Rushing tells POPSUGAR. The 39-year-old mother of two, who also shares daughter Reign with her husband, Robert Rushing, vows to pull back the curtain and show fans what her real, everyday life is like as she and Carter navigate their relationships and their relationships. busy racing. "I'm sure there are a lot of people who can relate to this, and my family didn't mind being open about it, because we're actually going through it and it's therapy for us as well,"

Straight confession: I know enough about jazz to be dangerous. Of course, I know the big names and a little more, but I would hardly consider myself an amateur. Oh, I know what I like, and I bet the fact that I like jazz probably means I know more than your average bear. I love Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, and on a more contemporary note, I find Kamasi Washington's music mind-altering. That said, while I may not be entirely a stranger in a strange land, I am certainly a tourist, even if I have been relatively well traveled. That's not to say he wasn't familiar with the music of saxophonist Wayne Shorter. His tenure with Miles Davis between 1964 and 1970 is legendary, and his melodious playing had much to do with what is known as Miles' "second great quintet" (Shorter had the unenviable task of following John Coltrane ). But, as you could say, this shit has levels, and the three-part docu-series Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity is on a

 The Hallmark Channel Summer Nights 2023 event comes to a close with a moving story from Mahogany Original Movies about family and leaps of faith.

 You know the saying, "It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt." It's something that parents used to tell us when we were kids and mistreat us so much, but in the context of the upcoming horror thriller “All Fun and Games”, the saying sounds more like a promise than a warning. The film follows a group of teenagers whose night of fun involves high stakes when a demon gets involved, forcing them to play life-or-death versions of the childhood games so many of us love. Fan-favorite actors like Natalia Dyer and Asa Butterfield are among the cast, and the Russo brothers' producer is on board. In a press release, vertical partner Peter Jarowey called the film "a gripping debut film based on a high-concept idea that immediately captured and held our attention." There's no trailer or "All Fun and Games" yet, but the movie does have a release date and some plot details to talk about. Here is everything we know so far. Directors: Eren Celebogl

 “Don’t Look Away” is a textbook movie for anyone wanting to learn how to make a scary, funny, and attention-worthy thriller for almost no money. Need something to "stalk" the victims, a novel twist on The Many Faces of Chucky and a novel piece of Biblical problem solving? What could be scarier than a killer dummy? “He moves without moving,” an alarmed would-be victim mutters in a less-experienced actor's version of shock. “He is everywhere and nowhere at the same time,” gasps another. This is how you solve the problem of "animating" an inanimate object, a mysterious and murderous "mannequin, like the ones they have at Bloomingdale's" that in shadows and silhouette resembles Gort from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" who did the diet. Slenderman Fast. . Director: Micheal Bafaro Writers: Micheal Bafaro, Michael Mitton Stars: Kelly Bastard, Michael Mitton, Colm Hill It doesn't really "move". He has edited, quite cleverly, this

It's not entirely right to call Akio Sakurai an impersonator. "Inhabitant" is more apt. And as shown in Peter Michael Dowd's documentary Mr. Jimmy, who takes his title from Sakurai's stage moniker, he's certainly worked hard to get to that point. Since the age of 19, Sakurai has been obsessed with Led Zeppelin, particularly the rock group's virtuoso guitarist Jimmy Page. His passion is all-consuming, to a degree that he would embarrass, and perhaps alarm, even the most self-proclaimed fanatic. Do you think there is only one way to play “Stairway to Heaven”? Think again. Sakurai can play different “live” note-for-note versions of any era of Zeppelin you want to name. But it's not just the music: Sakurai is also a student of the very essence of Page: how he dressed, how he moved, the instruments (even the discrete mechanical components of him) that he used to conjure his own particular magic. For 30 years, Sakurai, the son of a kimono maker, performed in

It may seem like a contradiction, but the many technologies that make modern life so much easier than fifty years ago are also making the world more complicated with each passing day. The modern world can't help but add more and more layers of expression every second and provide more and more options for basically everything from food to jobs to romantic partners and everything in between. Such a massive load of information and choice can only lead to stress, anxiety, and mental struggles that are becoming more and more universal. 'Lighthouse', a new Netflix show, delves into the struggles of modern life in a very peculiar way. 'Lighthouse' is a new Japanese talk show originally produced for Netflix. The show stars Gen Hoshino and Masayasu Wakabayashi, two Japanese artists and performers who meet once a month to discuss the struggles of modern life and many other topics. Creator: Nobuyuki Sakuma Stars: Gen Hoshino, Masayasu Wakabayashi Gen Hoshino is one of the most

Netflix's August lineup continues to deliver on its promise of compelling content. From the captivating romance of “King the Land” to the intriguing dark comedy thriller “Mask Girl”, viewers will now be treated to another dose of romance mixed with fantasy. The anticipation is palpable for “Destined With You,” a K-drama that has generated buzz due to Rowoon's successful appearances in Netflix K-dramas such as “Tomorrow” and “The King’s Affection.” Her co-star Jo is no stranger to the fantasy genre, as she made her mark as the lead in the iconic K-drama “Tale of the Nine-Tailed.” Stars: Kim Ro Woon, Lee Bong-ryun, Jo Bo-ah “Destined With You” is set to captivate K-drama fans with its narrative that encompasses compelling themes.

I arrived. does. Loosely based on the 1980s CBS series starring Edward Woodward, The Equalizer films have served as successful action vehicles for Denzel Washington. The actor, who has long been one of Hollywood's biggest stars, will be turning the Equalizer franchise into a full trilogy in the very near future. Released during an era when movies about retired assassins and stories centered on vigilante justice have found a higher level of popularity, 2014's The Equalizer was a huge box office success and a record-breaking R-rated film that led to a sequel in 2018.
