BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Movie Review: #KuboandtheTwoStrings

A boy, a monkey, and a beetle go on an adventure to save his life and no, this is not a joke. By Erika Ashley Kameyo, a mother, runs away from her evil, powerful, and magical family to save the life of her young son, Kubo, after Kameyo’s father, Moon King, took the child's eye and killed her husband. In the process of fleeing Kubo’s mother sustains a head injury that causes her to lose her memory and slip into states of unconsciousness. To which Kubo spends his days tending to her needs and going into the small town down the hill to play the samisen while storytelling and using his magical gifts to do origami. During one of her rare conscious moments his mother warns him how dangerous it is for him to be out of their cave home after sundown because his grandfather will find him and take his other eye. Kubo promises to stay indoors during night like usual but the following sunset he loses track of time while trying to pray to his father. Soon after the sun sets, his ma

Movie Review: #HellorHighWater

Hell or High Water is a welcome respite from the drudgery of this summer's movie season. Review by Matt Cummings Early Westerns - and even more recent ones - depict the bad guy as a black-hat wearing psychopath bent on destroying a town or wresting its people into submission. But with a film like the instantly classic Hell or High Water , that villain isn't a person at all, replaced in an interesting turn that makes this one of the best films of the year so far and the first must-see experience in many months. For brothers Toby (Chris Pine) and Tanner Howard (Ben Foster), the 2008 economic collapse has made farming and even basic survival in West Texas a near-impossibility. Faced with massive bills after their mother's death, Toby learns that the local bank has sunk his family into debt and seized the property, in hopes of drilling oil to amass a huge fortune. But Toby has a plan as well, and both he and Tanner set off an elaborate scheme to rob specific

Movie Review: #BenHur Acting is subpar at best and lacks heart.

First off, the acting is subpar at best and lacks heart. By: Erika Ashley Judah Ben-Hur, a wealthy Jewish prince, and his adopted Roman brother, Messala Severus, start out as the best of friends and enjoy their playful competitive spirit. However, Messala feels the constant need to prove himself to the Ben-Hur family and make a name for himself that is not associated with his deceased grandfather’s prior mistakes. Messala flees to join the Roman Military, making his way through the ranks for years, while Judah remains a passive leader amongst his struggling people. Years later the two brothers come together again when the Roman Empire begins to occupy Ben-Hur’s homeland of Jerusalem and a group of radicals end up putting Judah and his family’s lives in danger. Falsely accused of treason Messala is forced to turn his back on his adoptive family and dooms Judah to a life as a galley-slave until his death. More time passes and Judah, fueled by hate, survives a fatal military attac

The Lost Boys TV Show Heading To The CW

Despite rumors to the contrary, vampires don't suck (sorry), especially if you’re Warner Bros Television. While it’s been announced that The Vampire Diaries is going into it final season, there are plans afoot to keep the undead alive at the studio with a TV series reboot and complete reimagining of 1987’s The Lost Boys . That film, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz and the Coreys (Haim and Feldman), dealt with a pair of Arizona brothers who unexpectedly go up against a local gang of vampires. The intent of the series, being written and produced by iZombie's Rob Thomas, is to thoroughly examine the notion of immortality. Whereas previous entries in this horror subgenre (Angel, Forever Knight, Being Human, etc.) have done so via flashbacks, The Lost Boys promises to take a different approach. Describes Deadline, “This version is being envisioned as a seven-season arc. It will tell a story spanning 70 years, each season chro

Movie Review: #WarDogs

The sobering comedy War Dogs encourages extreme both laughter and forces scorn at a corrupt system. Review by Matt Cummings August is typically a pretty bleak month for film, sporting incredible losers from the second week on, as studios keep their more high-profile films for the Labor Day weekend crowds. But with so many high-profile failures this summer, it's quite unclear just what audiences want these days. Luckily, War Dogs proudly stands up to declare its awesomeness, even if its box office chances feel like a slaughter is imminent. For loser David Packouz (Miles Teller), poor life choices have forced the Miami native into all kinds of dead-end jobs including male massage therapist and selling bed sheets to financially-strapped rest homes. At the same time, his middle-school buddy Efraim (Jonah Hill) is raking in the dough by fulfilling government weapons contracts during the Iraq War. And he's doing it in small batches, thanks to a recent policy of op

JOEY KING JOINS WISH UPON

ACTRESS JOEY KING LANDS LEAD IN ‘ WISH UPON ’ DIRECTED BY JOHN LEONETTI FOR BROAD GREEN PICTURES.

When 16-year-old misfit Claire finds a magic box that promises a chance at the life she’s always wanted, she never could have guessed that each wish would demand a deadly payment. “I was mesmerized by Joey’s performance on the set of The Conjuring,” said Leonetti. “I am looking forward to watching her bring Claire to life in Wish Upon.” The deal was brokered on behalf of King by Brian Nosokoff at UTA, Dan Spilo, Industry Entertainment and Howard Fishman, HWHM+F.

Natalie Portman Is Done With Marvel

Looks like Thor is a single god again. According to Natalie Portman , her time in the MCU is at an end. Jane Foster’s absence from Thor: Ragnarok is likely to be a permanent development. “As far as I know, I’m done,” she revealed in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "I don’t know if maybe one day, they’ll ask for an Avengers 7 or whatever, but as far as I know, I’m done. It was a great thing to be a part of.” Of course, Portman’s astrophysicist has been rather left behind by the evolving state of the MCU. We last saw her in Thor: The Dark World and, although Thor mentioned her at Tony Stark's party in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, she’s inevitably faded into the background since her Norse love interest returned to Asgard. If true, it’s a departure from Marvel’s policy of keeping its players on long contracts, even if she seems to have left the window open for a return down the line. Don’t bet against that Avengers 7 prediction coming true one day, albeit with a dif

From the over-exuberant parrot Mak to the snack-obsessed tapir Rosie, from the persnickety echidna Epi to the acrobatic pangolin Pango, from the ditzy goat Scrubby to the commonsensical kingfisher Kiki and the always-cool chameleon Carmello, things are larger-than-life on a tropical isle that is pure wild animal paradise.

Enter for a chance to see A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS  on August 25th at 7:00 PM in PHOENIX. A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS is based on the memories of Amos Oz, growing up in Jerusalem in the years before Israeli statehood with Arieh, his academic father and Fania, his dreamy, imaginative mother. They were one of many Jewish families who moved to Palestine from Europe during the 1930s and 40s to escape persecution. Arieh was cautiously hopeful for the future but Fania wanted much more. The terror of the war and running from home had been followed by the tedium of everyday life, which weighed heavily on Fania’s spirit. Unhappy in her marriage and intellectually stifled, she would make up stories of adventures (like treks across the desert) to cheer herself up and entertain her 10-year-old son Amos. He became so enraptured when she read him poetry and explained about words and language; it would become an influence on his writing for the rest of his life. When independence didn’t brin
