Film: Time Cut (Netflix)Cast: Madison Bailey, Antonia Gentry, Michael ShanksDirector: Hannah MacphersonRating: 2.5/5Runtime: 90 min An intriguing time-travel thriller, “Time Cut” takes its characters back in time to 2003, in order to stop a serial killer. Screenwriters Michael Kennedy and writer/director Hannah MacPherson serve up an unobjectionable slasher movie that goes mild on the blood and gore content. Aimed at a younger audience even the violence is more verbal than graphic. It’s 2024, Lucy (Madison Bailey) raised in the shadow of her sibling Summer (Antonia Gentry)’s horrific murder, is struggling to come out of the protective control of her overbearing parents. She sees her chance when she is offered a future internship at NASA. Summer had gone to a farm for a celebration of life with her classmates, and failed to make it out alive, because of a masked killer. When Lucy visits Summer’s memorial at the farm, she discovers a hidden laser-based time machine and accidentally activates it. The device takes her back to 2003, when Summer was still alive. Lucy thus, is able to get closer to Summer, and learn more about the sister she’s never met. Lucy realises she has the power to alter the course of history and seeks the help of a physics genius,Quinn (Griffin Cluck), in order to get Summer and the others away before the ‘Sweetly Killer’ ( since it all happened in Sweetly, Minnesota) can get to them. In order to stymie that fate, Lucy and Quinn have to retrieve antimatter from a nuclear facility to make the time machine run. There was opportunity in developing Lucy’s character after her arrival in the past. But that expectation is never fulfilled. Her view of her life and her family’s feelings towards her lacks deeper exploration. The writing feels straitjacketed by generic elements. The dialogue is also rather dull. The narrative is mildly intriguing and the runtime doesn’t tax the attention span. The fashion choices of the past are well represented and so is the music. The film doesn’t feel original because ‘Totally Killer’, a movie with an almost identical concept, came before it. The inconsistent pacing, underdeveloped characters, and predictable plot-line fritters away any potential. There’s no real depth in this telling. The performances from the young cast are competent enough though. MacPherson delivers a fairly engaging, modest slasher movie best suited for the teens. It’s another matter that they might find it too mild for their more worldly expectations.
01 November,2024 07:15 PM IST | Mumbai | Johnson ThomasThe US Presidential election is closing in and celebrities are doing their best to spread awareness and encourage the citizens to step out and vote. The two candidates this time are - Republican Donald Trump who is also a former President and Democrat Kamala Harris who is currently the Vice President of the country. Harris recently got support from some of the biggest names in Hollywood- the cast of Marvel's Avengers. Avengers stars endorse Kamala Harris In a surprise video, actor Mark Ruffalo who actively comments on politics and environmental matters dropped a video of him talking to his Avengers co-stars on a video call. The video featured Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Paul Bettany (Vision), Danai Gurira (0koye), and Don Cheadle (War Machine), trying to come up with a slogan to support Kamala Harris. The cast came up with different catchphrases. "Kamala Forever," says Danai Gurira a fun wordplay on the famous Black Panther chant 'Wakanda Forever'. Eventually, they settle on "I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m down with democracy." Sharing the video, Ruffalo wrote, "We're back. Let's #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts 🗳️ #VoteBlue! Vote @KamalaHarris@Tim_Walz He added, "Don’t sit this one out. It’s the one where we will lose big: Project 2025, women’s reproductive rights, climate change, LGBTQIA+ rights, public education, student debt relief, Affordable Care Act, Social Security, and as of today, life saving vaccines. This shit is real and it’s going to come for you. Take 3 friends and know, no matter what you are a hero. Always give it all." We're back. Let's #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts 🗳️ #VoteBlue! Vote @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz pic.twitter.com/Xp7YdUEqxa — Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) October 31, 2024 Scarlett Johansson on BTS of making the video Speaking to Vanity Fair about the making of the video, Johansson, who played Black Widow in the Marvel films, said, “It just immediately turned into people trying to one-up each other with one-liners,” and joked that Downey Jr and Ruffalo were “bickering like two old ladies. And, of course, I’m the person that’s just trying to organise everybody. It’s very similar to what our dynamic is in the films. It was wonderful to feel everybody assemble around it, and hopefully it will engage our fans in the process of voting.”Johansson initiated the project, reaching out to her fellow MCU alumni via their group chat and reminding them: “We’ve got a lot of powerful people on this thread, and it would be great to unite … in hopefully creating a bit of a viral moment for Kamala.” Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jennifer Aniston bat for Kamala Haarris Arnold Schwarzenegger, the iconic actor and former governor of California, has publicly endorsed US Vice President Kamala Harris and Vice President nominee Tim Walz for the upcoming presidential election. Taking to X on Wednesday, Schwarzenegger shared his thoughts on the current political landscape, revealing his frustrations and hopes for the future. "I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz," he stated. Schwarzenegger highlighted his concerns regarding the political climate, particularly criticizing Donald Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 election results. He described such behaviour as "un-American" and expressed his frustration at the portrayal of America as a "trash can for the world." Jennifer Aniston let her fans know she voted through an Instagram post, where she showed her support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. She shared that she backs these leaders because they stand for issues and causes that are important to her too. Jennifer Aniston shared that her support is rooted in values like better healthcare, inclusivity, reproductive rights, fair opportunities, prioritizing education, and a balanced economy. She added that her choice reflects a desire for more sensible and compassionate leaders. In encouraging her followers to vote, Aniston, like other stars, emphasized that everyone’s voice counts, no matter where they are. The Murder Mystery star joins celebs like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Eminem in backing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
01 November,2024 02:36 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondent"It's through kundalini yoga,” says filmmaker Anthony Russo, for his deeply personal affinity to all things India. Which is somewhat ironic. Anthony is one half of Russo Bros—the world’s most commercially successful filmmakers—best known for directing Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Endgame (2019), from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Anthony and Joe Russo While both their global, blast-fest, super-blockbusters were loaded with an obvious sub-text, neither can be accused of possessing any yogic/meditative quality to them! Be that as it may, delving into the Russo Bros’ fascination with India appears obvious. Avengers Endgame Consider some of their recent work as producers: Extraction (2020), shot in Ahmedabad, that pitted America’s top pin-up, Chris Hemsworth, against Hindi cinema’s lead, Randeep Hooda. Amazon Prime Video’s spy-universe series, Citadel, that has Bollywood-Hollywood crossover star, Priyanka Chopra, playing the protagonist. Citadel Honey Bunny Indeed, Citadel’s independent offshoot, Honey Bunny, that’s wholly an Indian/Hindi show, headlined by Bollywood hero, Varun Dhawan. And the reason mid-day met Anthony, exclusively in London, before the series drops on Prime Video, November 7. Anthony Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, David Weil Arguably, no other A-lister from American entertainment has looked towards India in such mainstream ways. This gaze can’t be accidental, right? Well, it’s not. Anthony says, “The tipping point was the success of the Marvel films that we did.” Besides Avengers, they’ve directed two Captain America titles (The Winter Soldier, Civil War). Scan to watch the full interview The Avengers movies, in particular, had suitably shaken up the Indian box-office, to a serious invasion from Hollywood. Anthony recalls he closely watched desi audiences’ reactions to those films, through several videos, sent over to him: “It was overwhelming to observe that passion and excitement in the [Indian] movie theatres: to understand how those movies were moving and impacting people.” India, hence, became their next stop. To be fair to the brothers, while this Indo-Russo friendship treaty endures, they’ve actively pursued a ‘look east’ policy ever since acquiring Thanos-like powers in the global mainstream. For instance, financing an LA-Beijing joint company, to produce a Chinese super-hero film (The Hero’s Awakening). Let alone the absurdist, sleeper super-hit, Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), about Chinese-American immigrants, that they were the less-advertised partnering producers of. This global outreach dates back to the Russos’ origin story. Much before they became the only directors (after James Cameron) to post two $2 billion films at the global box-office (with the two Avengers, of course). They began as indie directors, from Cleveland, Ohio, breaking out with the boutique Slamdance Film Festival, where Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney spotted them and backed Welcome to Collingwood (2002). Anthony says, “We grew up as big fans of global cinema, with a heightened sense of the wonderful places that truly embraced cinema, through people dealing in the craft. India, of course, was one of them.” Also, Citadel, as a global spy series, with region-specific spin-offs, lends itself naturally to “collaborations with creators” from across the world. The Italian Citadel, Diana, dropped on Prime Video in October. As we speak, Anthony’s brother Joe/Joseph is filming the second season of Citadel, at a classified location, off London, with the leads, Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden. mid-day had access to the studio, during shoot. Only to marvel at the scale and precision of the action enterprise. Even if bulimic/low-key, is there an equivalent to the Russo Bros in Bollywood? Let’s go with directors Abbas-Mustan! What Abbas-Mustan have in common with the Russos is a sibling, in the shadow, that we barely get to hear of. As in, film editor Hussain, who’s third of the Burmawalla Bros. Likewise, sister Angela Russo-Otstot, who’s verymuch been part of the Russo Bros story—as executive producer of several of their works, including the Citadel global franchise. Is it a further coincidence that of all the gin joints in Bombay, the directors that Angela picked to create the Hindi/Indian arm of Citadel, Honey Bunny, were also a filmmaker duo, Raj & DK? Having knocked back their filmography, Angela says, “Raj & DK have a lot of shared sensibilities with Anthony and Joe.” That said, what Raj & DK have achieved with Honey Bunny is a wholly different take on the Citadel cinematic universe. More rooted and intimate, less techy—pretty much a period piece, with Varun Dhawan playing a Bollywood stunt-man, in a prequel to the original spy series. Which was also the point. As Angela points out, “The goal was to allow filmmakers to remain authentic to their own sensibilities. We wanted them to continue their artistic journey. “For a brief, what [Citadel creator] David [Weil] and I talked about was primarily the theme. That largely revolved around family, identity, and the struggle/balance between lies and truth, which is unique to the spy archetype.” That archetype, in this case, is centred on a Good Samaritan network of ex-spies, i.e. Citadel, saving the world, from the antagonists, Manticore, another espionage ring, funded/run by the world’s vilest, who’re essentially the wealthiest. There’s, of course, a lot of myth-taking—only framed in reality of sorts. Unlike the Russo Bros’ MCU, that’s pure mythology. Which works, because mainstream audiences believe in it, like blind faith, even religion. Only fair to check with the Russo siblings then, if they believe? In their own global conspiracy theories, surrounding Citadel/Manticore, that is! Angela says, “That’s a good question,” to let her brother Anthony take it. He reasons, “Part of the reason we like working in the spy, fantasy, or ‘genre’ space, is because it’s slightly different from real life. It’s a construct that we can have fun with. This allows audiences to engage—with complicated ideas, experiences, and global/political situations, without getting triggered [by it]. It’s a step removed [from reality]; [feels] a little safer. That’s part of the virtue of Citadel.” Okay, but do you believe in Citadel/Manticore? Citadel creator David Weil adds, “We believe that it’s possible. To [Anthony’s] point that there is fantasy, even sci-fi elements—that’s for the fact that we are five minutes into future. And this could potentially happen. So, we love to explore what could actually be. But may not be [the case] today.”

Alba will star alongside Anthony Hopkins, Michele Morrone, and Andy Garcia in the film, which delves into the lives of the brothers behind the iconic Italian car company.

The company's first Grand Prix vehicle was driven by Alfieri Maserati in the 1927 Messina Cup, where he suffered a near-fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later at 44, due to injuries from the crash. In 1937, the brothers sold a controlling stake in the company, which is now owned by Fiat.

01 November,2024 08:12 AM IST | Washington | ANIFilmmaker Quentin Tarantino has all the appreciation for Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix starrer 'Joker: Folie a Deux', reported People. Lady Gaga plays the role of Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix. Gaga plays Lee, who eventually becomes Harley Quinn, a patient in Arkham State Hospital, a mental institution where Phoenix's Arthur Fleck is a maximum-security inmate. The sequel to the 2019 film 'Joker' hit the theatres on October 4. The first 'Joker' was a huge success, both critically and commercially. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, with Joaquin Phoenix winning Best Actor and Hildur Gudnadottir winning for Original Score. It became the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever. Phoenix reprises his role as Joker in the sequel, and Lady Gaga joins as Harley Quinn. The supporting cast includes Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey. Zazie Beetz returns as Sophie from the first film. The sequel is said to be a musical, building on Phoenix's dancing scenes from the original. The first instalment earned over 1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office and bagged Phoenix a Best Actor Oscar. "I really, really liked it, really. A lot. Like, tremendously," the Oscar-winning filmmaker said about 'Joker: Folie a Deux'. "I went to see it expecting to be impressed by the filmmaking," Tarantino said, adding,, "but I thought it was going to be an arms-length, intellectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn't think worked like a movie... but I didn't find it an intellectual exercise. I really got caught up into it." He had particular praise for Phoenix as Arthur Fleck a.k.a. Joker and Lady Gaga as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel a.k.a. Harley Quinn. "As much as [2019's Joker] was indebted to Taxi Driver, this seems pretty... indebted to Natural Born Killers," said Tarantino. "That's the Natural Born Killers I would have dreamed of seeing." While calling the original film "one-note," he added that Phoenix gave "one of the best performances I've ever seen in my life" in Folie a Deux. Folie a Deux is a movie musical, as he mentioned, "I really liked the musical sequences. I got really caught up. I thought the more banal the songs were, the better they were. I find myself listening to the lyrics of 'For Once in My Life' in a way I never have before," reported People. 'Joker: Folie a Deux' is in theatres now.

01 November,2024 08:06 AM IST | Washington | ANIArnold Schwarzenegger, the iconic actor and former governor of California, has publicly endorsed US Vice President Kamala Harris and Vice President nominee Tim Walz for the upcoming presidential election. Taking to X on Wednesday, Schwarzenegger shared his thoughts on the current political landscape, revealing his frustrations and hopes for the future. Schwarzenegger admitted he typically refrains from endorsements. I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.My time as Governor taught me to… — Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) October 30, 2024 However, the former Republican leader feels compelled to act during this critical election. "I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz," he stated. Schwarzenegger highlighted his concerns regarding the political climate, particularly criticizing Donald Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 election results. He described such behaviour as "un-American" and expressed his frustration at the portrayal of America as a "trash can for the world." He emphasized, "To someone like me who talks to people all over the world, calling America that is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious." The actor articulated his belief that he prioritizes his identity as an American over his Republican affiliation, "I will always be an American before I am a Republican." He aims to resonate with those who feel disconnected from the current state of the nation, acknowledging the anger many Americans feel towards the political elite. Schwarzenegger also addressed long-standing issues like national debt and immigration reform, criticizing politicians for failing to take meaningful action. "It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed," he noted, adding that politicians often focus on talking points rather than actual public service. He took a strong stance against Trump, warning that another term for the former president would lead to further division and discontent among the populace. "We need to close the door on this chapter of American history," he said, adding, "I know that former President Trump won't do that." Concluding the statement, Schwarzenegger reiterated his desire for a united and progressive future, stating, "I want to move forward as a country."
