    The Apprentice": New Film Opens Despite Trump's Attempts
    to Block Anyone from Seeing It

    Democracy Now!



    Oct 11, 2024

    We speak with the director of _The Apprentice_, "the movie Trump doesn't want you to see," which opens today in theaters despite legal threats from the former president. The film looks at how Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn, former chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare. He went on to represent Trump as he built his New York real estate empire, and "was the person who sort of built Trump, as a person, as a brand, as an identity," says Abbasi.

    I saw this movie on the opening night. It's excellent, and it is not "pro" or "anti" Trump -- it's quite based on real events that can be easily verified. They went to great effort to accurately replicate historical scenes. Ali Abbasi did a great job with this movie.

    An Aussie Short

    Walter



    Two peace-loving hippies, Clay and his pregnant partner Rocky, are driving in their van, enjoying the ride, each other's company and the music playing on the radio. But their free-spirited journey hits a bump as they discover they've hit and run over a dog.

    They discover that the small canine -- called Walter -- belongs to a family of patriotic war veterans. Owning up to their role in Walter's demise, they attempt to inform the family of what happened -- and find themselves embroiled in a culture clash and potentially deadly confrontation.

    This short Australian comedy -- written and directed by Dave Wade and produced by Kirsty Stark -- has a pared-down, slender narrative: it's essentially a small dramatic event and then a resulting difficult conversation and confrontation. But with great wit and brevity and a uniquely dry, laconic tone, the storytelling elevates this tall tale into a small comic gem about cultural and generational divides, all while building a surprising amount of suspense in its compact run-time.

    Great twist. Two interesting things about this one. 1. I never realized that the hippy thing was cross-cultural. 2. My Czechoslovakian stepmother's favorite dish was Hungarian Goulash. I always hated it. ������

    Gladiator II’ First Reactions From Early Screening: “A Total Spectacle With a Pulsating Pace” The sequel starring Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal opens in theaters on Nov. 22.


    By Carly Thomas

    October 18, 2024


    Gladiator II had its first screening Friday night and early reactions have already made their way to social media.

    The sequel to the 2000 film was screened at the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles, where media outlets and film critics got a first look at the movie starring Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal.

    Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott, sees Mescal playing a grown-up Lucius Verus II, a nephew to emperor Commodus from the original film, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Lucius returns to Rome after being forced into slavery to battle not as a ruler, but as a gladiator out for revenge and power, and seeks to return the glory of Rome to its people.

    The cast also includes Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, Derek Jacobi, Rory McCann, Fred Hechinger, Matt Lucas, May Calamawy, Tim McInnerny, Peter Mensah and Alec Utgoff. The movie opens in theaters on Nov. 22.

    Gladiator II is set for a tentpole release by Paramount Pictures at Thanksgiving after the original film, which was released more than two decades ago, won five Oscars and earned $465.4 million worldwide. The first trailer released in July also racked up 215 million global cross-platform views in just a few days.

    Full critics reviews for Gladiator II won’t drop until closer to the film’s release date, but read on for a sampling of the first reactions to the movie after the screening.

    A short film ...

    THE BUYERS

    Adriana is a wife and mother who has recently moved into a new home with her children and husband. While her husband is away for work, she is left to unpack and settle into the new home, and it's a stressful experience since everything has been essentially "shoved into a box" by movers.

    Her new neighbors, Carol and Felix, come by to introduce themselves. They're eager to help -- almost off-puttingly so -- but Adriana turns them down. Yet Carol and Felix persist in being neighborly, to the point of being intrusive and offensive. When Adriana tries to banish them off her property altogether, it ignites a confrontation that spins out of control.

    Directed by Felicia Manning and written by Samantha Wilson
    Cinematography by Jesse Aragon
