The popularity of Formula 1 in the United States has skyrocketed, and it is not only due to the three races held in the country, the admirable character of the head of the American F1 team or the appearance of a new young American driver who accumulates points. in the world championship standings. . The real catalyst is Netflix's “Drive To Survive,” a captivating documentary series that deftly chronicles the recent seasons of Formula 1, employing selective editing and subtle reshaping of events for dramatic effect. This series creates villains, highlights heroes, and gives viewers a digestible overview of the world of F1. Despite the sport's long history dating back to the 1940s, many F1 stories predate reigning world champion Max Verstappen and rising star Daniel Ricciardo - stories that Netflix fans may ignore. “Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story,” an extraordinary Disney+ series premiering November 15, explores one such story: the miraculous 2009 Brawn GP season. This und...

 Dr. Ibram more convincing. Accompanied by Academy Award-winning Ava DuVernay’s “13th” and “Is That Black Enough for You?!?” by Elvis Mitchell, further cements Netflix's position as a hub for powerful documentaries about Black history. The film distinguishes itself by centering the perspectives of black women in the history of American racism. With the exception of Kendi, all of the film's expert commentators are black women, a notable choice that adds depth to the narrative. The inclusion of iconic movement leader Angela Davis is a coup, even if her contributions are minimal. The film shines with the insights of dynamic police reform advocate Brittany Packnett Cunningham and poet Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, whose vocal intonation becomes a powerful tool to comment on the intricate intersection of race, class, and gender. Director: Roger Ross Williams Writers: Ibram X. Kendi, David Teague Stars: Angela Davis, Alexa Rachelle Jennings, Ibram X. Kendi This feminine lens injects new l...

 While it's no secret that I love a good horror movie, I don't talk as much about certain types of Christmas movies. Honestly, when it comes to a Christmas movie, I don't like them very much. Some, whether it's Love Actually or Die Hard (yes, it counts), shine, but the old standbys don't do much for me.  So while a horror version of It's a Wonderful Life intrigued me, my indifference to the latter kept me from being as excited about it as I normally would be by a Michael Kennedy script (Freaky is awesome, in a nutshell). Fool Me, It's a Wonderful Knife is a clever and fun take on the story, clearly paying homage with affection, while spilling more than its fair share of blood. In hybrid terms, this is superior. Director: Tyler MacIntyre Writer: Michael Kennedy Stars: Jane Widdop, Jess McLeod, Joel McHale It's a Wonderful Knife works like a Christmas movie, no doubt, as long as the blood doesn't bother you. As for horror fans, they will surely love th...

This is the second docuseries about Twin Flames Universe, after Marina Zenovich Desperately Seeking a Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe came out on Prime Video last month. This documentary series tells of several former TFU members and one or two parents and siblings of members who are still there but have become estranged from their families. Most of the people Peck spoke to ended up working for TFU or its subsidiary MAP, either as coaches, salespeople, web designers or social media specialists. In almost all cases, people had already met someone with whom they thought they had a strong connection, but their feelings were not reciprocated. Searching for answers, they found Jeff and Shaleia and took TFU's Ascension classes. Stars: Arcelia, Sarah Berman, Janja Lalich One of them is Keely, who provided the filmmakers with video footage of TFU classes through a hard drive where hundreds of videos were stored. In fact, she pursued her Twin Flame after he broke up with her and the...

 Robbie Williams is not wearing pants. Sitting cross-legged on his bed in his Los Angeles mansion, the pop star looks back on his past on a dusty laptop: a stream of behind-the-scenes archive footage ranging from Take That fan frenzy to popular super-tours from his solo era to his painful departure from the heart of the zeitgeist. It's not clear why he needs to do this in pants. Is it meant to be a metaphor for the intimate and limitless nature of this documentary series? A nod to the fact that this is Robbie: candid and unfiltered? Or maybe it's just a sign that Williams is a born exhibitionist (as if we needed another one). Stars: Thai Long Ly, Robbie Williams Whatever the reason, the underwear can't help but underline the onanistic vibe. It's primarily Williams in the footage, his only other main character being his on-again, off-again songwriting partner Guy Chambers (who filmed most of it). And except for a brief appearance by his wife, Ayda Field, there are no oth...

 Murder mysteries are a conceit that, ironically, will never die. The crime novel remains eternally compelling because it not only sends us on a journey to try to decipher the identity and motive of the killer; invites us to try to piece together the clues ourselves, to see if we can solve them before the revelation happens. Combine that with the fact that TV viewers have been eagerly awaiting the next big project from creative partners Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, and you have a series that has already been inviting anticipation. Good news: A murder at the end of the world is worth the wait. While this show may be a simpler story of the duo compared to previous works, it takes all the familiar components of a murder mystery and gives them surprising twists, dropping its characters in a remote setting before the dangerous setting forces them To do it. a tighter confinement. As the body count rises and suspicions mount, tensions rise between the remaining guests until they all l...

 For centuries, shame has been a powerful tool used to enforce women's subordinate roles. The threat of humiliation and exclusion has kept women from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds silenced and docile. However, even as they navigate the limitations of “polite society” or toil as workers and caregivers in the working class, women have always found ways to challenge the oppressive norms that have limited their humanity. Adapted for television by Katherine Jakeways from Edith Wharton's unfinished novel, Apple TV+'s "The Buccaneers" is set in the 1870s and follows a close-knit group of American socialites who embark on a transatlantic voyage in He searches for suitable partners on the London marriage market, armed with his naivety and wealth. Sharing an inclusive cast and anachronistic music reminiscent of “Bridgerton” (and Apple TV+’s “Dickinson”), this series offers a frenetic and charming exploration of the culture clash between the American and British ...

Akuma-kun is the second anime adaptation of a manga series written and illustrated by Shigeru Mizuki, following the 1989 version. It is directed by Junichi Sato, who directed the 1989 adaptation, and Fumitoshi Oizaki, with Hiroshi Ōnogi writing the scripts and Daichi Nagatomi producing the series. Akio Izutsu composed the show's music. When you're a child prodigy, you usually have the ability to change the world for the better. However, we did not expect that one of them would have the ability to summon demons. Well, a kid does and apparently it's a great gift for him. I had never heard of Akuma-kun until I realized it was coming out on Netflix. This is mainly because the manga series originated in 1963, sixty years before its recent Netflix adaptation. So, being a youngster in the anime world, I'm now in another new territory for the format. Fortunately, the concept alone is enough to see how popular it was in the '60s. Stars: Cristina Valenzuela, Frank Todaro, Bil...

Spiritual care is, for many, a very important part of loss and grief. When something unexpected or unfortunate happens, people tend to turn to a higher power. It doesn't have to be the same god or even a deity, but there is a comfort that comes from the idea of praying or just sitting together. The impact is not only on the patient or loved one, but also on the chaplains who provide that care. A Still Small Voice presents an insightful look at the benefits and burdens of counseling others. Mati is a resident chaplain at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, working during the height of the pandemic. He sees patients throughout his day and works with their loved ones, and meets periodically with his cohort and his supervisor, the Reverend David. As he struggles, he processes how much he is investing in the people he knows, which affects his own well-being. When Mati goes to Reverend David for support, he discovers that he has a different view of his involvement in his work and that...

 Writer-director Dan Brown's debut feature, Your Lucky Day, elevates a simple concept with palpable tension and intense confrontations. A convenience store at Christmas transforms into a harrowing battlefield when a winning lottery ticket appears, creating an intense thriller full of surprise escalations and propulsive action. It's not just the narrative twists and grim authenticity that make Your Lucky Day appealing, but the Christmas prank's daring commitment to nihilism. A normal night turns out to be anything but for six strangers in a convenience store on Christmas. A criminal, Sterling (Angus Cloud), arrives at the store in a bad mood, as he has just lost valuables to thieves. When a rich man discovers that he just won the $156 million jackpot, Sterling holds him at gunpoint. Rookie cop Cody (Sterling Beaumon) tries to intervene, but fails so spectacularly that it turns into a deadly hostage standoff that also ensnares store owner Amir (Mousa Hussein Kraish) and futur...

 Most faith-based movies, even good ones, are dramas designed to impart serious ideas about religion. The trip to Bethlehem is quite different. It tells the story of Mary in the form of a musical. And not just a musical, but a musical with romantic comedy elements. That could have been a disaster, except that director Adam Anders is very careful to keep the meaning of the biblical story intact. The film is fun, vibrant and uplifting. Mary (Fiona Paloma) has a traditional “meet-cute” with Joseph (Milo Manheim) before discovering that he is the man her parents decided she would marry. You certainly know how the story goes from there, so a plot synopsis is not necessary. Singer Lecrae plays the angel Gabriel and Antonio Banderas is King Herod. You also get three wise men with directional challenges that provide comic relief. Actually, Gabriel also laughs a lot when he bangs his head on Mary's door while he's floating in her room. Director: Adam Anders Writers: Adam Anders, Peter B...

 From the opening title cards and credits of Alexander Payne's latest film, The Holdovers, we are instantly transported back in time by presenting a film that is not only set in the 1970s, but feels like a lost gem of the It was the greatest of cinema.  Filmed and presented in 35mm, and paying enormous homage to the great directors who came before him, such as Robert Altman and Hal Ashby, in the opening frames and the construction of its main characters, Payne takes us to a quiet New England town covered by snow blankets. preparing for the upcoming Christmas season in the winter of 1970.  Director: Alexander Payne Writer: David Hemingson Stars: Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Dominic Sessa Within this town lies an elite, all-boys prep school, housing the brightest young people whose parents can afford them the privilege of attending said institution. This turns them into arrogant, stuck-up rich kids who know that no matter how badly they do in their studies, the prob...

The first rule of “Manodrome” is that there is no talk of “Fight Club”. “Fight Club” looms large in writer-director John Trengrove's disturbing second feature, even if no one overtly mentions David Fincher's provocative late '90s film in this dark psychological thriller with social criticism, which finds that the state of masculinity is even more fraught than Fincher was a quarter of a century ago. Trengrove, who is gay and hails from South Africa (his 2017 debut,  “The Wound,” was shortlisted for the international Oscar), brings a queer sensibility to his otherwise unsatisfying analysis of contemporary masculinity, enlisting Jesse Eisenberg to play another skinny guy. white man seeking a way out of deep wells of festering aggression. Director:John Trengove Writer:John Trengove  Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Adrien Brody, Odessa Young Here, he finds himself in a secret society of like-minded guys, headed by Adrien Brody as a self-proclaimed father figure who calls himself "D...

While the theatrical romantic comedy appears to be going through a moment of crisis – struggling to honor the patented formulas of yesteryear while meeting the demands of the modern multiplex crowd – television appears to have adapted more quickly and deftly to the recent remapping of relationships. gender and personal boundaries. . One creative response has been to devise intentionally more embarrassing, Larry David-influenced variations on the romantic comedy theme: shows that depend on the acquired taste for foot-and-mouth disease, where lovers, far from being star-crossed, make entirely uneven progress toward happiness, going through an increasingly longer path. -Changing minefield of social customs. Creators: Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer Stars: Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer, Zak The eight-part Australian comedy “Colin From Accounts,” currently courting BBC viewers after debuting on the Antipodean Binge streaming service late last year, follows in the footsteps of Sharon Horgan ...

 Companions of Travelers is not for those who know nothing about history or much about the struggle and plight of gay men in the different eras chronicled in this book-to-screen adaptation. I mention this because I have seen some comments chastising the creators for showing the power imbalance between the two protagonists and it usually comes from people who were born in a world where it was not illegal to be gay, the world they came to was one where equality LGBT was in the spotlight and same-sex marriage was beginning to become legal in many countries around the world, along with the introduction of workplace anti-discrimination laws and hate crime laws in many modern societies. So, for those people who don't understand this story about the paranoia and hatred that arises from a government in power, a government mired in the mire of a cold war and itself paranoid beyond reason, it is mainly because they are shocked and They expect every gay story to be like Heartstopper or Red, W...
