The movie has also been attracting overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics, earning a Metascore of 72. Why are consumers so eager to pay a premium for a movie they could watch in the comfort of their own homes? While many viewers likely belong to the Baby Boomer generation that still favors a theatrical experience, other factors are luring audiences to see the Fab Four in theaters, including a 30-minute short film of the Beatles’ legendary 1966 Shea Stadium concert that is being shown immediately after all theatrical screenings, but not on Hulu. “We are very happy with the results, as they were well above our expectations,” said Rodolphe Buet, President of International Distribution at StudioCanal.

Mann’s book Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood 1910-1969 won acclaim as a thoughtful examination of the gay experience in the American film industry during the studio era. Mann’s next project will be a consideration of the life and image of Katharine Hepburn, promising to finally separate fact from fiction and to offer insight into the legacy of the Great Kate. His forthcoming biography, Edge of Midnight: The Life of John Schlesinger, was written with full access to the late, legendary film director. Mann is an award-winning, best-selling author and historian, alternating his creative energies between fiction and nonfiction.

Former tennis stars Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe have taken on each other once again as skippers at the new Laver Cup in Prague, but also as critics of a new movie about their on-court rivalry. Fatefully, Ellie is assigned to work with a SCOPE contingent operating in her home county. Her father and mother are vehemently opposed, her brother, Buddy, somewhat less vehemently. Ellie is the rare White Southern volunteer. In 1965, 20-year-old Ellie Hockley, a student at the University of North Carolina, joins SCOPE, a summer project recruiting mostly White, Northern college students to help Black Southerners register to vote in anticipation of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Ann, a stranger, knows too much about Kayla, including that she has a small daughter, that she’s about to move into a new house in an upscale but isolated new development, and that it's a house she had intended to share with her husband, Jackson, who died of an accidental fall at the construction site. In 2010, architect Kayla Carter is visited by Ann Smith, a “sixty-five or seventy”-year-old woman in mirrored sunglasses, who comes to her office seemingly intent on scaring her. This is a novel of alternating timelines, each unspooling in or near Round Hill, a small town in North Carolina. Chamberlain’s tale of mid-1960s freedom fighters intersects with contemporary tragedy. The paragraphs are wonderfully descriptive, but Maitland never goes overboard. Without beating me over the head with historical knowledge, I felt like Maitland was building up the world of 1348 England around me. Instead of sharing stories, the characters in this tale hide their pasts. Though they travel to pilgrimage sites, they are not pilgrims. Before long, Camelot reluctantly becomes a leader of a group of fugitives, a story teller, a mountebank, a pair of Venetian musicians, a Jew in hiding, and a seer. The first character we meet in this book is Camelot, a seller of fake relics (a cottage industry in the fourteenth century). But as I got deeper into the book, I started to think that it would be a lot like the Tales if Chaucer had been a horror or mystery writer rather than a bawdy comic. Company of Liars is absorbing, educational, and frightening in the best way.Ĭompany of Liars has been compared to Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Not only can she take me back in time, but she can terrify me with the mysteries that she cooks up. I continue to be amazed at the depth of the worlds that Maitland creates in her books. But philosopher Nick Bostrom worries we might not always be so lucky. Thus far civilization has stayed one step ahead of its problems. Humanity solves one problem, but the unintended side effects of the solution create new ones. This situation illustrates the push and pull effect of new technologies. Feeding the world without deepening the climate crisis will require new technological breakthroughs. It turns out some of the same farming techniques that staved off a Malthusian catastrophe also led to soil erosion and contributed to climate change, which in turn contributes to drought and other challenges for farmers. But a report from the World Resources Institute last year predicts that food producers will need to supply 56 percent more calories by 2050 to meet the demands of a growing population. In his 1798 An Essay on the Principle of Population, Thomas Malthus predicted that the world's population growth would outpace food production, leading to global famine and mass starvation. I would have loved to have seen it … And, while we’ve already referenced Taylor Sheridan, apparently he’s working on a series with Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldana called Special Ops: Lioness. Where was Elton, Mick, Paul or Rod? … Keifer Sutherland’s Rabbit Hole series on Paramount+ ended this past week with nary a whisper. I wouldn’t have thought King Charles as a “Brick House” fan. Confusing for sure … Lionel Richie and Katy Perry were the main musical entertainment at the weekend’s King Charles coronation. The ending has the cast in a simulated disco (with great lighting!) singing a raucous disco number. Ham, which receiver a TONY nom for lighting, had some funny moments, but was really nothing more than an outside barbecue family which almost always is a recipe for disaster. Dancin’,which just posted a closing notice this week, is a gem of a play and sadly, never really broke through. We saw two Broadway presentations: Dancin’ the Bob Fosse tribute which was just spectacular and Fat Ham, which looked great but I have absolutely no idea what it was about. Sounds good, huh? What’s that? You want to buy it? I really don’t blame you.
