Beerkus brings the know-how, while Nikolau elevates what they do atop the roofs/scaffolding to art. Soon enough, the couple is the face of rooftopping, scoring big huge sponsors who pay for Nikolau and Beerkus to jet set across the world. But COVID-19 ends that, and then Russia’s war in Ukraine makes things even more complicated. All these pressures pit the two against each other. In order to reaffirm their love, both for each other and their chosen profession, they plan on climbing the mega-tall skyscraper Merdeka 118, located in the very strict country of Malaysia, while still under construction....

Mari (Iabou Windimere) is an influencer who has captivated the attention of tens of thousands of regular viewers. Without getting too detailed, the point of an ASMR stream is for the streamer to create sounds with their voice or other objects, triggering a tingling sensation down the back of their viewers. Mari achieves this with great success and has a growing fanbase. After an anxious and sleepless night, she is in a state of panic, which is exacerbated by thinking she hears someone else walking around in her home....

As the “Star Wars” saga ends, so begins what is probably the most unnecessary review I will ever write. Those of you boycotting all things Lucas won’t be swayed by my words, just as those of you eagerly fondling the advance tickets in your grubby little hands won’t be dissuaded from attending on opening day even if I and every critic in the Western hemisphere declared “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” the worst movie since “Highlander 2....

1. Watch the Movie This is the obvious starting point, but surprisingly many students skip this step. It doesn’t matter if you’ve watched the movie twice before. If you’re asked to write an essay about it, you need to watch it again. Watching the film again allows you to pay more attention to specific elements to help you write an in-depth analysis about it. Watching the movie is crucial because it helps you not specific parts of the movie that can be used as illustrations and examples in your essay....

The Genesis: A Spin-Off Emerges “The Originals” first graced television screens in 2013, introducing viewers to the enigmatic and powerful Mikaelson siblings—Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. These characters had already left an indelible mark on “The Vampire Diaries,” and their compelling narrative warranted further exploration. The spin-off was conceived to delve deeper into the family dynamics, history, and the city that became both their salvation and battleground—New Orleans. New Orleans: A Pivotal Setting From the outset, New Orleans becomes more than just a backdrop; it’s a character in its own right....

Caroline’s entry starts up the controversy known as Marrow Gate. The judge of the contest (Mark Silcox) disqualified her marrow, claiming there was an inch-long cut in the vegetable’s outer skin. Caroline’s friend Paul (Richard Lumsden) disputes this vehemently. Paul vows to expose the corruption of the competition for Kristy’s film, as he is already obsessed with various conspiracy theories. Caroline starts growing an even bigger marrow with the help of her mate, Willy (Celyn Jones), who is always there to lend a hand....

Toni’s partner, Gwen (Trine Dyrholm), was in a horrific auto accident while pregnant with their child. Her brain injury caused the same effect as Joe’s: she can’t form new memories, and each night, going to sleep, she loses any sense of the last 15 years. It falls to Toni to ease her into each day. Gwen was an accomplished cellist, and some of that ability is retained deep in her mind, away from the damage....

However, the newspaper editor, David Brooke (the always reverent Mark Strong), is tired of Erskine’s heavy-handed negativity because he often enjoys the plays that the critic eviscerates. This is especially true of a new play starring the aforementioned leading actress, which deals with a sensitive topic for Brooke. Land’s acting brings him to tears, so he sends Nina a beautiful bouquet of flowers before each performance. Ever the rascal, a drunk Erskine and his trusted secretary Tom (Alfred Enoch) walk home one night....

Then John Carpenter had to f**k everything up. “The Thing” forced us to stare into a vaginal Venus flytrap poised to spring every manner of smelly surprise: crustacean claws, phallic earthworms, and a set of compact, razor-toothed choppers tucked efficiently inside a mucus-coated labial maw. This glistening goo-bag was Forrest Gump’s worst nightmare: a cruel, shape-shifting organism that could replicate any life form. Truly, you never knew what you were going to get....

One of the doctors most eager to follow Freud is Alma’s husband Leon, who has mysteriously disappeared a week before Freud’s appearance in front of the local psychoanalytic association. Alma is also nine-months pregnant and could go into labor at any moment, but that doesn’t stop her from going on a full-scale investigation to track down her baby’s father. Alma (a charming Leonor Watling) enlists her brother-in-law Salvador (Luis Tosar), who’s also Leon’s best friend, to help track him down....

All Dakota (Maci Engle) wants to do is live a peaceful life out in the wilderness. Hunting deer and running a campground seems to be the perfect life. With all the cabins being full, Dakota deals with the typical crap…guests complaining about no wi-fi, selling toothbrushes, and general annoying complaining. Tonight feels a bit different. As she monitors the deer cameras throughout the grounds, she spies a shadowy figure roaming around....

Mati’s job is an unenviable one: she comforts dying patients before they meet their Maker. Understandably, Mati’s outlook on life is tinged by pessimism and distress. She cannot cope with the harsh realities of suffering, which she encounters on a daily basis at the hospital. A Still Small Voice is structured as an interplay between two psychological roles: the patient and the caretaker. Both of them are played to maximum effect by our protagonist, Mati, whose distress becomes our own....

Unveiling Cabrini: The Inspiration and Journey [00:03-01:03] Cabrini emerges as a heartfelt tribute to volunteerism and charity, contrasting sharply with today’s activism and social media-driven society. The film narrates the story of Mother Cabrini, who, despite being a nun, undertook an extraordinary mission to uplift Italian immigrants facing hardship in the late 19th century. The filmmakers aimed to resonate with present-day issues surrounding immigrants and underserved communities, ensuring the film’s contemporary relevance despite its historical setting....

Ironically, Gordon concludes the conversation below – an overview of his films provided exclusively for “Cinema CPR,” emphasizing the different ways in which each movie has weathered the test of time – and is greeted by precisely such a fan. Attending a midnight screening of Gordon’s 1985 horror classic “Re-Animator” being shown at the Grand, the admirer is wearing a black t-shirt slathered with the poster art from Lucio Fulci’s “Zombie,” complete with maggot-ridden, eyeless corpse....

Reginald (Glenn Plummer) is a former gang member whose lover was murdered, turning him into a vengeful killing machine. He has a list of crime lords and gang members that he is going to kill vigilante-style one by one. T.A. (Demaris Harvey) has been on the wrong side of the law for too long, and after someone close to him is killed, he decides he needs to get out and undermine the gangs at the same time....

Later, Gathee decides to find Lila and apologize for what she did, but Lila refuses to accept his apology, saying that he shouldn’t even be friends with Chiumbo....

Unveiling the Magic of Cinematic Storytelling At the heart of every great movie lies a compelling story brought to life through cinematic storytelling. Through the lens of skilled directors and the talent of actors, movies have the power to transport audiences to distant worlds, evoke deep emotions, and provoke critical thinking. Whether it’s a gripping drama, a heartwarming romance, or a pulse-pounding action thriller, movies have the ability to leave an indelible mark on our hearts and minds just like when you are playing games from top online casinos for Canadians....

Almost from the dawn of filmmaking, there have been vampires on the big screen. Murnau’s “Nosferatu” gave way to the atmospheric Universal films, which ruled the belfry until Hammer upped the ante with gothic films like “Horror of Dracula” and “Dracula Has Risen from the Grave.” In fact, debate continues to this day about whether Lugosi’s Count could take on Christopher Lee’s (it may not be Ford vs. Chevy, but we film geeks do what we can)....
