Even though it shares a similar title, “Bagman,” is not a retelling of the book by Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz that focuses on the crimes committed by Spiro Agnew. Costing an estimated two million dollars, it is nominally an original screenplay from John Hulme, although it feels more like an attempt at adapting a […]
Did you hear about the story of the “Saturday Night Live” writer who went on a cross-country trip with his friend Will Ferrell to see how Americans accepted trans people after he decided to transition into being a woman? Nope? Then, I must say you are in for a treat because it is quite interesting.
There are many questions that still remain unanswered in regard to ” Devara: Part 1”. “Devara” is a fine but familiar Telugu language Indian action drama and the star vehicle for N.T.

The documentary by Sue Kim titled ‘The Last of the Sea Women’ kicks off with a peculiar lady’s first recount of a story as she gets ready to get into the water for some seafood gathering. As the camera focuses out, it is apparent that the ocean is filled with women dressed in swimming suits.
The critically dividing and debatable “The Apprentice” adapts the life story of Donald Trump into a story that is similar to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. And guess who is the good doctor in the glass case? I’m sure you’ve already guessed, that it’s Roy Cohn, who also receives some help in creating his monster from the
As the clock ticked down on October 11th, 1975, a new set of challenges arose. The lights on set almost toppled over the actors, seats remained empty, costume changes were yet unsolved, a set script was ‘work-in-progress’, and most importantly, John Belushi hadn’t even signed the contract.

A combination of a musical and documentary into a Lego movie like “Piece by Piece” is truly wonderful. Most likely, the life of producer/musician Pharrell Williams would seamlessly integrate with the animated world because he is the genius who brought us Happy, one of the most popular songs of all time.
