American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden tells us that having the power to shape narratives and influence preferences is the key to becoming a superpower. The fact that US forces managed to eliminate Osama bin Laden not only demonstrated their military prowess but also gave us a glimpse of the nation's soft power. It demonstrated how the United States overcame various obstacles and ensured that no one questioned its authority or its course of action. So, let's revisit the events that led to Osama bin Laden's death and discover how US intelligence agencies managed to accomplish it. On September 11, 2001, a vile act by the infamous terrorist organization al-Qaeda shook the foundations of American society. Two planes intentionally crashed into the World Trade Center, and one even targeted the Pentagon. From John McLaughlin, deputy director of the CIA, to Michael Morell, who at the time was a CIA analyst and daily advisor to President George Bush, everyone was in a state of shock. I...

Charlotte, a 12-year-old girl hiding a secret, faces a terrifying reality when her once adorable pet spider undergoes a monstrous transformation into a carnivorous giant. In “Sting,” the latest installment of the “Giant Spider vs. Humans,” audiences are drawn to the promise of classic creature thrills.
However, despite its premise, “Sting” fails to convey the chilling emotion one would expect from such a film. Instead of a gripping monster movie, it delves into the realm of mundane family drama. While the film draws inspiration from iconic creature features like “Alien” and “Jaws,” it fails to evoke the same level of tension and fear, relying more on the concept of horror than its execution.
Director: Kiah Roache-Turner
Writer: Kiah Roache-Turner
Stars: Tony J Black, Alyla Browne, Alcira Carpio
The story revolves around Charlotte, played by Alyla Browne, who lives her life with her new stepfather Ethan, played by Ryan Corr, in a poorly managed apartment building. While the film spends considerable time exploring the dynamics of the building and its quirky residents, it does not adequately develop Charlotte's character. While Ethan takes center stage, making amends and adjusting to his new marriage, Charlotte's role feels sidelined, leaving the audience disconnected from her journey until the film's final act.
However, the eccentric supporting characters inject life into the narrative, with standout performances from Robyn Nevin, Noni Hazlehurst and Jermaine Fowler. Fowler, in particular, shines by infusing humor into an otherwise mediocre script, elevating the film with his comedic timing and charisma.
Despite its flaws, “Sting” offers some redeeming qualities. The creature's design, reminiscent of xenomorph lore, turns out to be a highlight, and WETA Workshop's practical effects add a visceral quality to the spider's appearance. While the film occasionally relies too heavily on strobe lighting and shaky camera work to obscure the creature, its plasticky, grotesque aesthetic effectively induces a sense of repulsion.
However, “Sting” fails to generate suspense and deliver shocking scares. The creature remains largely hidden in the shadows and most of the horror occurs off-screen, lessening the overall tension. While the film's conclusion attempts to redeem its previous shortcomings, it ultimately fails to live up to its full potential as a horror classic.
In the end, “Sting” offers a mix of emotions and disappointments. While it may satisfy viewers looking for a dose of creature nostalgia, it fails to leave a lasting impression due to its uneven execution. Despite its flaws, “Sting” manages to stick the landing, culminating in a solid ending that salvages some of its previous mistakes.
Netflix has released a trailer for the new sci-fi anime, Moonrise, which shows the main character Jack in action against creatures that serve as antagonists in the Earth vs. Moon conflict. Although no firm release date has been provided for the anime series yet, Moonrise will stream on Netflix sometime in 2024. Announced on Netflix Tudum 2022, Moonrise is written by novelist Tou Ubukata, best known for his excellent work on Ghost in the Shell, Psycho-Pass 2, and Psycho-Pass 3. Beloved artist Hiromu Akawara, who previously worked on the hit series from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, will also join the show as a character designer. Ubukata wrote and published a prologue novel in December 2018. Netflix describes Moonrise as "a fateful tale of resistance forces on the moon challenging the peaceful inhabitants of Earth to battle." The trailer introduces the two main characters, Jack and Al, while Kawasaki's music accompanies the action-packed scenes. In addition to Ubukata an...
Netflix went all out to unveil its highly anticipated miniseries “The Leopard,” based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s classic novel set in Sicily, marking the platform’s biggest splash in Italy yet. On Tuesday, Netflix held a packed press conference in the frescoed ballroom of Rome’s centrally located Plaza Hotel, which was also used to film one of the series’ key scenes. “The Leopard” will formally premiere in Rome on March 3 with a gala screening held at the Eternal City’s Opera House before its global release on March 5. Creator: Richard Warlow Stars: Francesco Colella, Astrid Meloni, Mario Patanè The lavish historical tapestry, with elements comparable to “Downton Abbey” or “The Crown” and the potential to leave a global mark, is a modern take on the sensual Sicilian saga adapted for film by Luchino Visconti, starring Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster. The film, now a classic of Italian cinema, won the 1963 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Eleonora And...
The battle royale concept has been executed and repackaged in many forms over the years. The Hunger Games pits kids against each other in a mandatory deathmatch, while Battle Royale sent high school students into a fight to the death. Most recently, the hit Netflix sensation Squid Game saw players risk their lives for a prize pool of 45 billion won, once again bolstering the enduring popularity of the genre. Alice in Borderland, in a similar vein, shares many of the same elements. With traces of influence from William Golding's allegorical novel Lord of the Flies and Battle Royale to works focused on psychological puzzles like Saw and Cube, the first season transported audiences to an abandoned Tokyo, where people are forced to compete in dangerous games. The difficulty and type of each is determined by the poker cards and their suite, and those who survive receive extensions to their "visas" which, upon expiration, will result in execution with red lasers shot from the ...
