 What is it about these selfish men who, under the guise of religion, use and abuse people to feel powerful and line their pockets? This is not an isolated case, but a story that repeats itself over and over again: religion may be different or have a skewed purpose, but the underlying desire of the leader is always the same and the damage is exact for the people who have believed. his lie. It is deep and devastating. This documentary follows several young people (some more recent and some from the early origins of the church) who have been lured to Robert Shinn's Shekinah Church in the US under completely false pretenses. Of the newest group of young people, most are talented dancers, all starting out in the competitive career of professional dance. Of course, when Shinn sees this, he has dollar signs flashing in his eyes and through manipulation and proselytizing, he, along with the use of reinforcements from his family who follow his lead and also benefit financially, is able to ...

There's a sense of familiarity to Geek Girl, an almost nostalgic feel, as it's an amalgamation of many of the shows I watched during my teens and teens. This is not bad at all; I don't think today's tweens find it old-fashioned or tedious; I think that made me like the show a little more than I would have liked. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of qualms about how she portrays the lioness of an industry, but I admit, sometimes we need a pinch of sugar and unicorns to get us through an unpleasant day, and Geek Girl is exactly that. Previously, I made a comparison to Emily in Paris, but this is specifically in terms of how fantastic the series is, and if you already have that in mind, I think it becomes easier to watch. On the other hand, unlike the unpleasant Emily, who is a terrible fish out of water, Harriet is actually a pretty endearing character. I feel almost like a protective older sister to her, because it almost seems like she's a younger version of me w...

 Good Hands, the 2022 romantic drama, involved Melisa contacting the father of her son Can in a rather unusual way. The film ended with Firat taking responsibility for Can while Melisa said goodbye to her, as she knew she didn't have much time left thanks to her cancer. The first film was a Turkish Netflix original and was about people coming together as a family and learning uncomfortable truths about each other. The second film is an extension of that universe and premiered on Netflix on May 23, 2024. It was directed by Ketche, who also made the first film. In Good Hands 2 picks up where the first film left off. Can now lives with Firat. Thanks to Melisa, Firat now knows that Can is his son, while the boy has not yet been informed of the same. He still believes that his mother left him with his boyfriend, who was his guardian or father figure to him. While Firat is a successful businessman, he is still struggling to be a good father and deal with Melisa's untimely death. He...

 At this month's Cannes Film Festival, Francis Ford Coppola and Kevin Costner unveiled passion projects that they chose to finance themselves after initially abandoning institutional sponsors. This week, three authors are trend-setters, except instead of pouring their own funds into a radical, deeply personal epic, comedian Shane Gillis has made a raunchy, workplace bro-comedy set in a Pennsylvania tire store . Since being fired from “Saturday Night Live” before it even started for offensive jokes on his podcast, Gillis has become the poster child for a grassroots, decentralized attention economy that allows some performers to build thriving careers without the blessings of the guardians. Their 2021 special “Live in Austin” blew up on YouTube; the same podcast that cost him “SNL,” co-hosted with his comedic partner Matt McCusker, continues apace; Gillis even produced his own comedy series, “Gilly and Keeves,” culminating in a feature-length special last year. Gillis has strived to ...

 The movie starts off great. We have a police officer who is frustrated with her life, she is an emotional wreck, heavily addicted to coffee and falls asleep on the couch regularly, living the lifestyle of a bachelor. So your typical 80s and early 90s crime movie starts out but with a PG-13 rating. Our protagonist, Atlas, is also a little reckless, hyperintelligent, she doesn't like to follow the rules, she is distrustful and she is a little clumsy. I really liked this Hollywood trope and had never seen this type of character given to a female lead. He made the old trope fresher. Director: Brad Peyton Writers: Leo Sardarian, Aron Eli Coleite Stars: Jennifer Lopez, Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown  I hate to say this, but this movie is a missed opportunity for a great science fiction movement. But it's sort of divided into two parts. On the one hand, it is true science fiction and, on the other, it is a pure action movie. And much of this action could have been removed to explore mo...

 The Jurassic World movies, while fun, haven't been as well-received as Spielberg's original film (which still holds up more than 30 years later), but a surprisingly fun highlight of the Jurassic Park franchise was Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Netflix. series. The first season began with the idea that there would be a summer camp during the events of the first Jurassic World movie. However, when things went haywire, six children from the camp were accidentally left behind, and over the next five seasons, those children had to learn to adapt, survive, and depend on each other to survive being alone on Ilsa Nublar for a time. year and a half. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous was a surprisingly good series among fans and critics alike. The show gave us engaging characters, creative animation, lots of fun dinosaurs, and what I call "The Dave Filoni Clone Wars-ification" of the Jurassic Park franchise by telling a bunch of serialized stories to help fill the gap between ...

 Studio Colorido's My Oni Girl follows Hiiragi Yatsuse, a high school boy who struggles to form meaningful relationships despite his willingness to please people. Things come to a head for the young man after a chance encounter with an oni girl named Tsumugi when she asks him for help finding her mother in the human world. Throughout their journey, Tsumugi and Hiiragi face mini-oni (ghostly orbs born from humans who are afraid to express their feelings) and the calamity that comes when people let their emotions fester for too long. At first glance, My Oni Girl has all the hallmarks of a Studio Ghibli-inspired game. You've got a globe-trotting adventure with odd-couple protagonists, a myriad of gorgeously drawn vistas, deliciously glamorous titular shots of Japanese delicacies, cool mondo elders, and visionary monster designs to boot. Considering that the film's director, Tomotaka Shibayama, cut his teeth at Ghibli before coming to Studio Colorido, it's no surprise that ...

Big Guy is both the name of Rachel Feinstein's new stand-up special and the unromantic nickname her firefighter husband gave her. What makes “Big Guy” such a good fit? Before you rush to Netflix to watch her fun new hour, here's everything you need to know about Rachel Feinstein, from Rachel Feinstein herself... “When I was at my old house, like before we moved when I was seven, watching The Tracey Ullman Show was my only memory there. Putting on my mom's robe and doing that thing she did at the end of her show. She would come out and say: 'Go home, everyone go home!' I thought she was great.” Director: Gillian Laub Star: Rachel Feinstein “She did voices, and I remember doing voices when she was in kindergarten. She made something called Bagel Face for a laugh. People demanded the Bagel Face. “She played characters and impersonated people, and that's what I liked from a very young age.” “My second grade teacher was very cool. I was a terrible student, devastated...

A financial shepherd and snake charmer, hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting people spread across different parts of the world and a name with only three letters: Zoe. The documentary The Seller of Illusions: The Case of Generation Zoe, which arrives this Thursday the 23rd on Netflix, details in detail and chronologically the creation, rise and fall of an ambitious financial platform that blew up in the faces of both its creators and of their financiers. , ordinary people who dreamed of diamonds and woke up squeezing colored mirrors tightly. On April 4, 2022, Leonardo Cositorto, creator and mastermind of Generación Zoe, was arrested in the Dominican Republic by Interpol. The general director of the organization had been a fugitive from Justice since mid-February. Today he awaits trial in the Bouwer prison, in Córdoba.

Years ago, a high school boy named Franco went to a party with two of his best friends, Mario and Bolillo. It wasn't exactly a party, but more of a triple date scenario. There were only six people (Mario, Bolillo, his two girlfriends, Franco and another girl from school) who were far from pretty. Franco's friends didn't want him to feel left out and I guess the same thing happened to the girl. Soon, Mario's girlfriend took him to his room.  Franco wanted to go too, until he realized that showing him the room was just an excuse for you-know-what. Bolillo and the girl soon ended up in the bathroom. Now Franco was alone with the girl. He wasn't attracted to her per se, but he was a boy who didn't believe he could impress a woman, so he would make whatever decision he had. Then Franco ended up kissing the girl. It lasted eighteen and a half minutes, only because Franco didn't know how to get things to fourth base from first. Because the movies hadn't taught ...

When Netflix added shonen anime sensations like Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and One Piece to its library, it fell behind some of its competitors. But no one can argue that the streamer wasn't a precursor to anime's most underrated genre: mixed martial arts. After exciting shows like Baki Hanma and Kengan Ashura (and in anticipation of their long-awaited crossover special on the horizon), I was hoping Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf would be another notch in Netflix's belt. Unfortunately, you're more likely to discreetly check your phone while Garouden is on than to raise your fist next to his captivated peanut gallery. Directed by Atsushi Ikariya and adapted from the 1989 manga of the same name, Garouden follows a martial artist named Juzo Fujimaki who is on the run after killing the attacker of his instructor's daughter. While living as a fugitive and saving stray civilians from threats including, but not limited to, grizzly bears, Juzo is forced to join a dea...

 There are a lot of conflicting stories in Showtime's new miniseries Patrick Melrose: riches, acquired riches (which is extraordinary), class (which is still distinctive), terrible parenting, drugs, liquor, defeated desire, melancholy . It is quite a considerable summary. In any case, nothing compares to the sensational resonance at the center of the series: when you hurt a child, the damage lasts forever. In England, the five Patrick Melrose books by the writer Edward St Aubyn, who constructs them in the light of his own life, are revered as 21st-century artistic fortunes that reflect on the English class framework, state-funded schools ( which are their form of our non-public schools), the hardened assumption of the British and how, shocked by most of that, shocking occasions are usually not discussed or acknowledged by any stretch of the imagination. Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Hugo Weaving The five-part co-generation of Showtime and Sky Atlantic uses each...

 Tochtli (Miguel Valverde) has exquisitely refined tastes. He is sitting in a room with an elegant display of hats flanked by a strange display of desert taxidermy: leaping hares, cacti and all that. He chooses a burgundy velvet cocked hat, puts on a jacket with ornate epaulettes, grabs the reins of his pet pony, and walks through his sprawling, luxurious, one-of-a-kind home.  It's his birthday; He looks to be about 10 years old and please forgive me for not catching that specific detail, as his ornate surroundings are quite overwhelming. He sits down to enjoy a meal and gifts prepared by his father, Yolcaut (Manuel García-Rulfo), although Yolcaut doesn't actually organize things, he simply tells other people what to do, for example, his legion of tough guys with cowboy hat. sycophants and his loving elderly housekeeper, Itzpapalotl (Mercedes Hernández). Director: Manolo Caro Writers: Nicolás Giacobone, Juan Pablo Villalobos Stars: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Miguel Valverde, Raúl Br...

As with “The Traitor,” another overview of a changing world, Marco Bellocchio's political sympathies are not hidden, but the dilemmas and perplexities his characters face can often be oversimplified. Here in “Kidnapped”, he recounts a shameful episode in the last days of papal secular power before the unification of the Italian State, in which the authorities (they of the “Holy Office) ordain a 6-year-old Jewish boy” from infamy. of the Inquisition) to be torn from the arms of his parents because of an alleged furtive and illicit baptism performed when he was a child, turning him into a Christian who, for the protection of his immortal soul, could no longer be raised in a Jewish family . He is taken to Rome, to be raised in an institution for converted boys destined for the priesthood, while his case becomes an international scandal, exploited by anticlerical circles throughout Europe and beyond, to the immense irritation of the Pope and the Curia. . The notion of dogma is central ...

 In 1976, the comic called "Jon" by comic book artist Jim Davis was published locally in the Pendleton Times. The comic was so successful that it was published nationally under the name Garfield in 1978 and since then the greedy orange cat with a heart of gold has become indispensable. The drawing style was changed in 1984 to a more cartoon-like style as we know it well now. In 2002 it was one of the most printed comics in 2,570 newspapers around the world with 263 million readers.  Now with different animated series and different movies we can see the second movie about the orange hangover. This time voiced by Chris Pratt as Garfield, who of course had a lot of success recording Mario's voice in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Samuel L. Jackson speaks in the voice of Garfield's father, Vic, so we can mention a lot of celebrities. In the Dutch version, it is Jim Bakkum and Jörgen Raymann, who record the voices of Garfield and his father Vic. Either way, the film promises...
