As the film begins, a woman who says her name is Andrea (Siren Jǿrgensen) arrives at a luxury hotel. She tells the manager that she’s a writer for the magazine “TravelBest,” but we can tell off the bat that something else is going on. With her fake story, she’s able to get an audience with hotel owner Morten (Frode Winther) on her first night in town—I guess Norwegian people in small villages tend to be very trusting?...

The plot, such as it is, concerns Joe Ruttledge and his wife Kate (Barry Ward and Anna Bederke), who have bought a small cottage by a lake on around twenty acres of land in remote Leitrim, Joe’s ancestral home on his father’s side. These childless artists don’t make great farmers, and their lives, as shown here, seem mostly taken up with dealings with the locals and some vestigial ties to London and its art scene....

This quotient of risk and thrill, when juxtaposed with movies, makes for a brilliant watch. Movies about gambling sell because of the adrenaline rush and the promise of the thrill. People derive pleasure from watching their favorite actors spiral into a web of losses and then emerge victoriously from it. Movies about gambling and casinos are real money spinners and have always been quite successful. That is why the film industry still keeps exploring the motif and makes more movies out of the same....

Months later, Colt is out of the game with his self-imposed estrangement from Jody and now works as a valet at a local fine dining establishment. Before you can blink an eye, Ryder’s long-time producer, Gail Meyer (Hannah Waddington), recruits Colt to take his place as Tom’s stunt double, adding that Jody is the director of the film as the convincer to get back in. When Colt arrives, he receives a chilly reception from Jody, who wants nothing to do with him....

Höss was a dedicated Nazi and a keen architect of Hitler’s Final Solution. The film mostly takes place between 1943 and 1944, when he was promoted to oversee a massive increase in prisoner transports from Hungary, amounting to a concerted and rapid liquidation of Nazism’s internal enemies. This is what we are witnessing in Glazer’s horror film, as spellbinding marginalia to the daily lives of an otherwise normal family....

Blake (Sean Meldrum) and his significant other, May (Simone Jetsun), are hard at work prepping for a dinner party. She’s cooking roast beef, the favorite dish of the honor guest. He’s pouring the cheaper wine into the empty bottles of the fancy stuff. It’s not long before the first attendees show up, Barclay (Michael Pearson) and Radia (Jenna Vittoria). In short order, another two guests, Giselle (Rachelle Lauzon) and Darby (Honor Spencer), enter....

As for Wheaton, a year after “Stand By Me,” his fame took even more of a quantum leap when he hitched a ride on the sci-fi gravy train by snagging the role of futuristic teen spaceman Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” So, just as puberty was really kicking in, Wheaton found himself surrounded by hot interstellar babes as well as the standard aliens who looked like they had ventilators built into their craniums....

Bring us up to speed on Shaun Peterson, the quick history. I was born in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up in both KC and in the small town rural areas outside of St. Louis (Wentzville, MO). I was a highly imaginative child. I spent most of my boyhood in the basement inside of a cardboard box pretending to be Luke Skywalker. I was very political in high school: I was student body president, voted Most Likely to Succeed and was one of 2 kids chosen from Missouri to meet with President Bush at Boys Nation....

It’s more Realistic You only have to take a look at Ocean’s Eleven to see what casino movies can be like. It’s packed with action, and unbelievable twists and turns. Sure, it’s a great movie, and it is really entertaining. But it doesn’t tell you what really goes on. 21 is different. It’s based on a true story, and it could genuinely relate to anyone who used to play online. Blackjack moved to land-based casinos, and people learned how to count cards in statistics classes....

Adult Swim Yule Log opens with a crackling fire and tinkly holiday tunes playing in the background. After a minute, a car pulls up, and we hear cabin owner Diane (Megan Hayes) bitching on the phone that the cleaner didn’t show up, so she has to get the place ready for the renters. Hilariously, the cozy fire is disrupted by Diane vacuuming. The crackling of the fire interrupted by loud sucking noises is the opposite of relaxing....

We talk about the unlikely celebrity that is Paul Williams, getting access to old footage to tell the story, and working with a subject that had mixed feelings about being the focus of a documentary.

What inspired you to make this movie or tell this story? Anna Novion: When I start a film, I always begin with a feeling, an emotion. I thought about a feeling of imprisonment and dislocation that I experienced when I was about 20 years old. I’d been ill and had to stay at home for six months. When I recovered, I felt very out of touch with the world, with young people of my age, with their carefree attitude....

People are going to the movies less these days. One of the reasons for this could be the fact that most of the films coming out suck. Plain and simple. There aren’t many good mainstream films out there to grab the doltish audience’s attention. Most of what you got to choose from this year were sequels, remakes of old television shows and movies, or book and comic book adaptations. Oh yeah, and Must Love Dogs....

How AI is Shaping Gaming AI technologies are enhancing gaming experiences in various ways already. For instance, the technology is leading to non-playable character intelligence enhancements to provide players with richer experiences. For example, Call of Duty: Mobile allows people to play a game in Practice vs. AI mode to develop and practice their skills. Also, AI is even being used in casino games, as some use AI programs to monitor player behaviors and check they are playing by blackjack rules....

Noah and Lea talk about getting out of Antwerp and buying a house in the country somewhere. Unfortunately, this is just a pipe dream due to a severe lack of money. However, Noah’s recently released cousin, the insane Carlos (Jeroen Perceval), has a simple driving job that will pay big if successful....

This is a busy film. So much so that a viewer would benefit greatly from two trips through Grenzfurthner’s demented frenzy of a story. It all eventually does make sense, but he accelerates us through a dizzying, head-spinning cacophony of information, which is necessary for the final impact of the film to become clear. Once you’ve taken it all in, the focus point hits like a nuclear test on Navajo lands....
