There’s a lot to enjoy, but nothing new, in this documentary that focuses on a key transitional period in Muhammad Ali’s life

Here to prove you can never have enough documentaries about Muhammad Ali is New York director Muta’Ali Muhammad, who has made a new film on the subject for the US’s Smithsonian Channel; it is entertaining, but perhaps unsure of what exactly it’s saying that is new. It focuses on the legendary boxer’s public life from 1959 to 1964, as he negotiated a new existence as world champion and member of the Nation of Islam, changing his name from Cassius Clay to (initially) Cassius X in a key transitional moment. It is written by Scottish author and producer Stuart Cosgrove, adapting his own 2020 book Cassius X: A Legend in the Making.

One of the strangest Hollywood franchises ever is the Sister Act series, starring Whoopi Goldberg as Deloris Wilson, a lounge singer turned nun who helps a convent become popular through rollicking renditions of classic hymns. Last year it was confirmed that a third film in the franchise was in development for Disney+ with Goldberg set to return to star and Tyler Perry serving as producer. Kathy Najimy, who featured in both the previous Sister Act movies as the always cheerful Sister Mary Patrick, recently confirmed that Sister Act 3 is still in the earliest stages of getting made.

"[Whoopi's] trying to get that going. I, you know why I like that, no hair, no makeup, no spanks, comfortable shoes. It's a win win for me."

While the first Sister Act was a huge, surprise hit, the sequel was not as well-received. The franchise found a second life on stage through a broadway adaptation.

He was 92. Appell, who later produced the Tony Orlando and Dawn hits “Knock Three Times” and “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree,” died Tuesday, his family announced.
