What’s Good: The standout aspect of the film is the stellar performances by the cast, with Sushmitha Bhat, Mammootty, Vineeth, and Gokul Suresh delivering exceptional acting that elevates the narrative.

What’s Bad: The songs in the movie disrupt the flow, particularly the first one, which feels unnecessary. Placed during the character establishment phase, it merely reinforces traits of Mammootty’s character already shown, adding little value. The second song, tied to a classical dance, while important for plot nuance, could have been shorter. However, the reuse of the second song towards the end was engaging and well-placed.

Warning: contains major finale spoilers for The Tourist season two.

In The Tourist season one, Jamie Dornan played Elliot Stanley, an amnesia sufferer who pieced together unsavoury details about his life before he lost his memory in a road collision. Elliot had been the accountant of an international drug baron named Kostas, from whom he’d stolen $1 million in cash in collusion with Kostas’ con-artist fiancée ‘Victoria’. He’d forced vulnerable addicts including a Russian woman named Lena Pascal to become drug mules, resulting in the deaths of two of Lena’s friends. Elliot had also fallen for Australian traffic cop Helen Chambers, whose forgiveness of his past misdeeds gave him enough hope that he chose not to take his own life in the season’s final moments.

It is almost like a Shakespearean drama with a lot of cool action,” says two-time Oscar-winning film editor Pietro Scalia of Michael Mann’s new Ferrari, which is based on the biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine and explores the life of the eponymous automaker (played by Adam Driver) as he struggles personally and professionally in 1957.

In his first pairing with the director, Scalia — who won his Oscars for JFK (shared with Joe Hutshing) and Black Hawk Down — emphasizes that while thrilling race scenes were created, Mann’s focus was first on character and key relationships, like those between Enzo and Laura (Enzo’s wife, portrayed by Penélope Cruz) and Enzo and Lena (his lover, portrayed by Shailene Woodley). “I remember that he loved to see the contrast between how Driver would play his character in front of Laura or with his mother or with Lena,...

Lena Waithe can’t be anymore direct when talking about “A Thousand and One,” writer-director A.V. Rockwell’s feature film debut.

“Films like this oftentimes are not always seen or recognized by the Academy,” says Waithe, a producer on the Sundance Film Festival winner. The film follows Inez (Teyana Taylor), a woman recently released from prison who kidnaps her son from the foster care system. “For us, that is the Super Bowl and with this little engine that can, we hope to make it all the way to the big game because the movie is worthy of that screenplay, direction, performance and film. And I hope people really show the film the respect deserves.”

Variety caught up with Waithe and Rockwell over a Zoom call on the morning after the Gotham Awards, where Rockwell won in the category of breakthrough director.

Since then, “A Thousand and One” was named by...

Lena Riggi never remarried after her husband's death, a testament to the strong bond they shared and the love she had for him. Lena continued to honor John Basilone after his death by serving as the official sponsor of the destroyer named after him, the USS Basilone. Before her death in 1999, Lena Riggi remained actively involved in her community, volunteering her time to organizations such as the Women's Marine Association and the American Veteran's Auxiliary.

The powerful miniseries, The Pacific, provides a detailed look at the lives of three U.S. Marines in World War II, but it does not detail what happened to Lena Riggi after her husband's death. Praised for its honest and visually stunning depiction of real-life events, the film is backed up by cinematic legends Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. It does an excellent job in terms of historical accuracy and its captivating main characters are based...

A.V. Rockwell never saw herself as a writer until her hit feature debut “A Thousand and One.”

The film, which counts Lena Waithe as a producer, centers on Inez and Terry, a Black mother and son who are growing together as they navigate gentrification, police brutality and financial distress in a changing New York City.

Almost a year after its Sundance debut, the Gotham Award-nominated film that Rockwell wrote and directed continues to receive acclaim for its riveting story and raw characters.

Why did you choose this story for your feature directorial debut?

I wanted to tell a story that spoke to my upbringing in New York City. Around the time I started writing the movie, gentrification was a big thing that was happening. I think the movie explores the fact that [Black people] were under attack the entire time, feeling targeted in the way that our community was by gentrification. I...

Find Me in Paris is a unique teen sci-fi dramedy that combines time travel, romance, and impressive dance scenes. Shows like Shake It Up, Terra Nova, and Victorious have similar elements of young people navigating dance, rivalries, and a performing arts school. Timeless, Emily in Paris, and Step Up: High Water offer thrilling and engaging stories with elements of time travel, fish-out-of-water experiences, and dance competitions.

Find Me in Paris is a highly original teen science-fiction dramedy, but despite its unique story, there are a number of TV shows with similar moods that fans of Find Me in Paris will enjoy. Premiering in April 2018 on Hulu and created by Jill Girling and Lori Mather, Find Me in Paris is an imaginative, colorful sci-fi adventure. The three-season series follows Lena Grisky (Jessica Lord), a Russian princess in 1905, training to be a ballerina in Paris. Lena's boyfriend, Henri Duquet (Christy O'Donnell...

Leg 8 of “The Amazing Race 35” started off well for sisters Morgan and Lena Franklin, but their dreams of continuing the trek for $1 million came crashing down when they weren’t able to locate a parking garage. Despite a disastrous stretch of luck for Steve Cargile & Anna Leigh Wilson (which included climbing a mountain for an Express Pass that was long gone), the father/daughter duo reached host Phil Keoghan at the Pit Stop just moments before the sisters.

“We couldn’t find the parking garage,” Morgan tells Gold Derby (watch their exclusive video interview above). “Unfortunately for us, when we made it up to the tower, when we came down to get directions a lot of people kept pointing us the wrong way. We ended up running to other bridges because people thought they knew where they were and did not.”

Mollywood is gearing up for one of the most awaited films of the year, Bandra, starring Dileep and Tamanna Bhatia in the lead roles. The film is directed by Arun Gopy, who made his debut with the blockbuster Ramaleela, which also featured Dileep in a political thriller. Bandra is an action-packed film that promises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats with its twists and turns.

According to reports, Bandra is the story of Alen “Aala” Alexander Dominic, played by Dileep, a Mumbai-based businessman who has a mysterious past. He gets entangled in a web of crime and corruption when he crosses paths with Raghavendra Desai, played by Dino Morea, a ruthless gangster who rules the underworld of Bandra. Tamanna Bhatia plays Tara Janki, a journalist who is on a mission to expose the truth behind the crimes in Bandra. She joins hands with Aala to fight against the evil forces.

The Privilege is a Netflix horror film that combines supernatural and body horror elements, resulting in a unique viewing experience. The revelation that Finn, Lena, and Samira are adopted connects them to a larger conspiracy and mirrors themes of teenage depression and isolation. The film leaves it up to the audience to determine if the demon is real or if the events are hallucinations, while the cult's goal is to turn the kids into vessels for the demon. The ending suggests a larger message about the pharmaceutical industry and the contagious nature of depression.

The Netflix-exclusive German horror film The Privilege is jam-packed with familiar concepts found in other movies, but it features a truly wild ending that makes it unique. Released in 2022 and directed by Felix Fuchssteiner, The Privilege follows awkward teen Finn (Max Schimmelpfennig) as he uncovers a dark secret from his past that threatens his life in the present.

One performer's intense portrayal of the villain in Jack Reacher was so convincing that it affected his real life. After the movie was released, his wife received concerned calls from her friends in Paris, offering her shelter because they were frightened by his character's evilness. He reveals that he knew he did a good job with his performance because people's genuine fear and concern for his real-life persona validated his portrayal of the terrifying villain.

Jack Reacher villain Werner Herzog explained how he knew his performance was effective. The 2012 movie, which starred Tom Cruise, was adapted from the Lee Child novel One Shot, and became the first of three onscreen adaptations of Child's Jack Reacher series, which now includes the sequel Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and the ongoing Prime Video show Reacher starring Alan Ritchson.

Simultaneously enigmatic and visceral, the new Spanish horror film The Elderly instantly sets a dreadful atmosphere and continues to build it to a crescendo of pure terror. It's a slow-burn until it isn't, with one of the grisliest final acts in recent memory. The film begins when an elderly woman dresses herself up in order to jump out a window and take her own life. Her husband, Manuel, is left alone but doesn't seem particularly fazed. In fact, his indifference to death and suffering becomes increasingly disturbing as the audience asks themselves, is he insane, suffering from dementia, or something somehow more... inhuman?

Manuel's loving but struggling son, Mario (an endlessly relatable Gustavo Salmerón) takes him in, much to the chagrin of his pregnant new wife, Lena. Mario's first wife died some time ago, and their daughter, Naia (Paula Gallego in one of the year's best performances), harbors resentments and insecurities as a result.

It’s just so much better."Lena continued: "Well, I always think everybody would. But actually, they don’t. A huge amount of actors have no interest in doing it.

I was starting to panic. I was like, 'Am I capable of loving something? I don’t know what this is.' It makes you question love. Then when I had my baby, I wondered, 'Is love really unconditional? How far would you go? How much forgiveness is there? Would you really sacrifice everything for another person?'"Lena, 50, cast her 'Game of Thrones' co-star Michelle Fairley in the character-driven psychological drama alongside James Nelson Joyce and admitted she wrote the movie with Michelle in mind.She said: "We are great mates.

TV shows often tease audiences with will they/won't they relationships that never fully play out, leaving fans unsatisfied with the lack of closure. Some of the greatest TV shows choose to keep audiences hooked by not delivering a happily ever after for certain relationships, even in the series finale. TV characters such as Buffy and Spike, Kate and Sawyer, and Castiel and Dean should have been their shows' endgame romances.

One of the most engaging aspects of any TV series is the relationships, and while some shows pay these off in incredibly satisfying ways, others miss their chance to pair up the most shipped couples from their run. Fans shipping couples on screen has been a practice for some time, but in modern times of fan-fiction and the ability to telll love stories that never fully played out on-screen, shipping is at an all-time high. From newer ships of...

After winning the first two legs of “The Amazing Race 35,” Jocelyn Chao and Victory Limary had one terrible, no good, very bad day in Vietnam — and it was a Mega Leg on top of that. They struggled to recover from dropping to the back of the pack in the first half of the leg and then luck was just not on their side in the final Roadblock, a needle-in-the-haystack task to match a tile on the Hùng King Temple grounds to their photo. It came down to Victor and Lena, who found hers first, making the couple the third team to be eliminated this season.

“Even at the end, after Lena left, I thought, ‘Maybe they’ll invoke this mercy rule,’ so I just called for a check anyway and he didn’t pass me. I called for it again just to make sure and he still didn’t pass.

Tonight on “The Amazing Race,” teams continue racing in Vietnam and face the hustle and bustle of a congested Vietnamese market, where they must properly set up a fish stand and deliver mattresses to a local hotel. This episode titled “The Day Keeps Rockin’ Here in Vietnam’ airs Wednesday, October 18 on the CBS. Phil Keoghan hosts.

The Malayalam film industry is known for its rich and diverse content, ranging from realistic dramas to comedy capers. However, in recent times, the industry has also ventured into the genre of action thrillers, with films like Lucifer, Ayyappanum Koshiyum, and Drishyam 2 making a mark at the box office. Now, two more films are set to join this list, with their trailers creating a buzz among the audience. These are Garudan and Bandra, starring Suresh Gopi and Dileep respectively.

Garudan, directed by debutant Arun Varma and written by Midhun Manuel Thomas, features Suresh Gopi as a cop who is investigating a rape case that leads him to a confrontation with Biju Menon’s character, a former convict who has a personal vendetta against him. The trailer of the film, which was released on October 171, showcases the intense cat-and-mouse game between the two actors, with some high-octane action sequences and dialogues.

Coming off another year marked by uncertainty and conflict, ordinary, unlikely heroes take center stage in a slew of new shows. While crime especially the Nordic-inspired kind is not going anywhere, and there are quite a few spectacles waiting around the corner, including Mipcom world premiere “Concordia,” intimate stories about families and friends butting heads but ultimately trying to come together continue to dominate the market stage. There are also more portrayals of strong, complicated women who dare to dream big today or in the past. The following is a list of some of the buzziest titles at Mipcom.

“After the Party”

She is harboring a painful memory,...

How the thought of Veg proposing to Lisa affects Danny in a subtle manner until he again comes across Amy in the middle of the road also gains a significant point. Danny’s feelings have grown slowly, but they have bloomed for sure, as we can see him zoning out after pondering what Lisa says. Will Danny be able to help Lisa in her vulnerable state? Will Amy’s re-arrival affect Danny’s feelings for Lisa? Let’s find out!

The Pacific explores the struggles of soldiers post-war, offering a detailed and nuanced depiction that goes beyond the battle itself. The show delves into the experiences of loved ones left behind, shedding light on their struggles and adding depth to the overall narrative. Unlike Band of Brothers, The Pacific focuses on individual soldiers rather than the company as a whole, providing a more personal and intimate perspective on the war.

Though both World War II HBO miniseries are hugely acclaimed, the Band of Brothers vs The Pacific debate rages on and there are a number of notable reasons that The Pacific is actually better than Band of Brothers. Despite having similarities in content and style, the series have significant differences that make one a better watch than the other. Although many fans would argue that Bands of Brothers reigns supreme in the Band of Brothers vs The Pacific debate, The Pacific...

In the early 1940s, a young Lena Horne began an engagement at an intimate L.A. club called Little Troc, where her silken voice — with her perfect enunciation and her sophisticated interpretation of the lyrics — dazzled the likes of Marlene Dietrich, Cole Porter, Lana Turner and Greta Garbo. Among the many eyes that observed her during her run were those of the astute, sensitive Roger Edens, who was an integral member of the Freed Unit at MGM Studios. Led by innovative producer Arthur Freed, the unit consisted of musical artists who created many of MGM’s great musicals from the golden age: It had recently produced Babes in Arms (1939) and would strike gold with An American in Paris (1951), Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and Gigi (1958).

Within the Freed Unit, Edens stood out as a highly respected composer, arranger and associate producer who eventually won three Academy Awards. After seeing Lena perform,...
