The Maynards have more money than God. The multi-billionaires use their considerable resources to influence politicians and take-over companies. They also have a non-profit nature reserve. Amon (Laurence Rupp) is the patriarch and would never harm an animal. However, the fitness nut has fewer scruples about snuffing out random people via a sniper rifle. Whenever this happens, servant Alfred (Markus Schleinzer) is at the ready to clean up and dispose of the body and any other resulting mess....

Some of the most iconic film scenes in the last thirty years have been set against the backdrop of gambling houses and table games, with the outcomes of games dictating the plot of the movie.

Set in 1976, this horror thriller opens with a butchering of a couple parked out in the middle of nowhere. The significance of this opening evolves as the story progresses. We are then quickly introduced to the main character, Abigail (Ava Cantrell), and her mother, Eve (Hermione Lynch). They are moving to a “dirtball” of a town in rural Alabama. This place is desolate, with one school, and everyone seems to live in trailers in the bush....

Marina, Hannah, and Mary Ruth have joined a class action lawsuit against Travis County, Texas, and the Austin Police Department. They are just three of scores of women who have been raped or otherwise assaulted in the Austin area. In all cases, the APD has failed to convict even a single rapist. While most of these women live in fear of their rapists – and of course they would, a reprisal could occur at any time – they nevertheless join the group in the hope of affecting change....

Then, the new narration by longtime BJM member Joel Gion kicks in, spilling the beans about how much abuse he and other bandmates suffered at the hands of Newcombe. Taylor-Taylor’s band gets a record deal while Newcombe ruins his big break by having a hissy fit and pounding on his bandmates during a Viper Room showcase. BJM is like a decrepit summer camp where the head counselor repeatedly breaks the arms of campers....

When two teenage brothers, Daniel (Marcus Scribner) and Eli (Lonnie Chavis), find themselves suddenly abandoned by their parents, life only gets progressively harder with each passing day. While Daniel juggles school and a part-time job washing dishes, he also cares for Eli as best as he can — whose abuse at the hands of their father, Cliff (Method Man), has left permanent scars on the younger brother’s psyche. While Daniel makes increasingly hard decisions to keep what’s left of their fractured family together, Eli struggles to cope with their absent mother (Crystal Bush) while leaving her daily voicemail messages that always go unanswered....

00:02 – What is it with sea-based movies and the title cards doing a little exposition in addition to setting the time and place? The same tactic was used in “Hunt for Red October”. Somehow I doubt, though, that we’ll see the disclaimer announcing no one will admit the events of this movie ever took place. 00:03 – OK, three minutes in and no dialogue. We have, however seen long, sustained shots of a cannon, an hourglass and a bell....

Perhaps it’s because Harper, the star of Suspiria, is the mother. She was the pin that stuck Argento’s madness to the frame, a tight and nervous face in the middle of a terrifying kaleidoscope, and she carries a bucketload of neurosis into this intrigue-laced inquiry into memory, too. Most of the cast does. Jessica Chastain plays Sylvia, a mother who works in the care field and a veteran member of Alcoholics Anonymous....

The company’s rise up the ranks in the industry was recently cemented when it secured a secondary listing on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this year. Paddy Power is an established leader in the competitive online gambling market, and a key ingredient in the company’s success story and brand recognition has been the strategic use of mini-movies as a marketing tool. Before their foray into mini-films, Paddy Power relied heavily on traditional advertising such as billboards and print adverts, often featuring their signature blend of wit and irreverence....

The documentary is intimate and inspiring as we follow Gorodetsky on her three-year journey to achieve her dream of competing and being the best wife and mother she can be. Born in the Eastern European transcontinental country of Georgia, Gorodetsky’s family immigrated to Israel when she was 11. She spent her grade school years fighting “with boys and girls” who bullied her for being an outsider. At 17, she was involved in a car accident that paralyzed Gorodetsky from the waist down, leading to life in a wheelchair....

“Nina” focuses on three people trying to overcome emotional and physical damages: a diner cook with a drinking problem, a Russian-born waitress in an abusive marriage and an underage runaway. The film’s screenplay is a riot of clichés and unconvincing plot twists – including a championship boxing tournament that seems to come out of nowhere – and the film is burdened with artsy visual and audio gimmicks that would have been better left in film school....

Taras and Akayo begin their odyssey as captives en route to Jaromir (Andriy Malynovych), the most ruthless landowner in Ukraine. As a captive, Taras is enthralled with a passion for freedom, not only for himself but for his “sweetheart,” a prisoner at Jaromir’s sprawling ranch. Even in captivity, Akayo appears meditative, only breaking his calm demeanor to discuss his desire to kill the man who killed his master. That man is the cruel Harimoto (Gen Seto), a powerful Samurai commanding a squad of ninjas....

The set-up of Prank is that the footage we’re watching is police evidence; it’s the footage filmed by three misfits in high school that have found themselves routinely the target of bullying, in particular from a student named Dax ((Alastair Ferrie)). As Jordan (Henry Monfries), Connor (Nick Renaud) and Chunk (Gemmenne de la Peña) film their daily lives, a particularly over-the-top bit of bullying at Connor’s expense sets in motion the ultimate revenge prank against Dax, albeit one that goes horribly awry....

Hutner, a professor at SUNY Stony Brook, has been researching this incident for some time. I recall the meltdown well, as the various congressional inquiries into Three Mile Island were a regular feature of Public Television’s programming when I was a boy. For most of the time since the accident, the Nuclear Radiation Commission (NRC) and the State of Pennsylvania have been fighting hard to prevent anyone from knowing what actually happened to the people of Harrisburg who lived near Three Mile Island....

Which is the case here. In May 2003 I was overcome with an urge to see if I could find out any information about the 1983 shot-on-video film “GBH” (or “Grievous Bodily Harm” – it’s a British legal term for serious assault), which had been one of my select few favorites around 14 or 15 years ago, when I was really into underground and obscure films. And to tell you about this film, it’s necessary to tell you a bit about my own personal taste in movies from back then....
