Glen Powell is one of the hottest movie stars in the world right now. Following a scene-stealing turn as Jake "Hangman" Seresin in 2022's billion-dollar-grossing "Top Gun: Maverick", the 35-year-old has quickly become one of Hollywood's most in-demand leading men. Later this summer he is headlining "Twisters", the sequel to the 1996 disaster film. But despite his current success, Powell said in a recent interview with CBS Mornings that he doesn't feel like he's "made it." "I've had the benefit of watching other guys in my position have the same moment," he told Gayle King.

“Hit Man” suggests that when backing away from misogyny, men, too, have more options, more happiness and more love. “Double Indemnity” turned the trope into an indelible archetype for the morally ambiguous world of film noir. Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Tom Powers are pictured in Billy Wilder's "Double Indemnity." The patriarchal world of “Double Indemnity” is as bleakly loveless for men as it is for women. “Hit Man,” and other contemporary noir films, in contrast, are trying to imagine a way out of the “Double Indemnity” double bind.

It’s the kind of thing I’ve thought a lot about my entire life: What could transform me? I was probably more in the camp of we’re fixed, give or take whatever little percentage around the edges. So I was interested in this notion lately that, oh, you can change, the personality isn’t fixed. I sort of like that it’s all on the table, that everybody’s thinking you kind of are who you say you are. I feel this little rush of competitiveness, which I really don’t have in the world of art at all — or my life even.

CNN —What sounds like an enticing historical thriller mostly falls flat in “Manhunt,” an Apple TV+ series about the frantic search for John Wilkes Booth after he assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Anthony Boyle as John Wilkes Booth in "Manhunt." That’s especially true of Booth, through no fault of Boyle’s, who as written possesses less depth than his flamboyantly villainous mustache. “Manhunt” sounds promising on paper, only to mirror Apple’s even-splashier World War II series “Masters of the Air” by offering a meticulously produced window into the past that only fitfully gets off the ground. “Manhunt” premieres March 15 on Apple TV+.

It has to do with “Hit Man,” a comedy Powell co-wrote with the director Richard Linklater that casts him as a hapless teacher who must pose as an assassin for hire. I first saw it at the Venice Film Festival in September, where it proved so crowd-pleasing that the audience broke into applause midway through the movie. A week later at the Toronto International Film Festival, the response was also through the roof. But for months, Powell had only heard about all that secondhand. Since the Screen Actors Guild strike was still going strong during the fall tests, Powell wasn’t able to attend a premiere of “Hit Man” until it played Monday night at the Sundance Film Festival.

MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) — International movie stars arrive in Morocco on Friday to kick off one of the Arab world's largest film festivals amid a shadow cast by Israel’s latest war with Hamas and protests that have swept the region for almost two months. The Marrakech International Film Festival, along with Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival that is scheduled to open next week, are taking place despite war in Gaza. That’s in contrast to the Cairo International Film Festival and Tunisia’s Carthage Film Festival, both of which were canceled due to the war. Scorsese will preside over the festival's Atlas Workshops — an initiative designed to screen films or films in progress by emerging Arab and Moroccan filmmakers. The festival is scheduled to run through Dec. 2.

Streamers increasingly are leaning into true crime and stories about the heartland, and Texas Monthly can check those boxes. Of the publication's 50 film and TV projects, half fall into the true crime genre. "They're trying to reach the middle of the country, and we've got things that do that," Scott Brown, Texas Monthly's president, told Insider. Texas Monthly also has a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at Max (and an Austin native), told Insider Texas Monthly has an "uncanny ability" to identify not only gripping true crime but also cultural stories with unforgettable characters.

Netflix has acquired Richard Linklater's “Hit Man,” starring Glen Powell, for $20 million. “Hit Man,” which Linklater and Powell co-wrote, stars the “Top Gun: Maverick” actor as a New Orleans psychology professor who also works undercover posing as a hit man for the police in sting operations to catch would-be murders. Netflix didn't announce release plans yet for “Hit Man,” which also played at the Venice Film Festival. But the “Hit Man” sale is the largest yet of the season. Netflix, which also distributed Linklater's previous movie, “Apollo 10 1/2,” earlier acquired Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, “Woman of the Hour,” following its premiere in Toronto.

Teresa Taylor, a drummer for the Texas acid-punk band Butthole Surfers who became an emblem of Generation X aimlessness and anomie with a memorable appearance in Richard Linklater’s 1990 film “Slacker,” died on Sunday. She was 60. Her death was announced on Monday in a Twitter post by the band. The cause was lung disease. Cheryl Curtice, her partner and caregiver, wrote on Facebook that Ms. Taylor “passed away clean and sober, peacefully in her sleep, this weekend.”“She was so brave, even in the face of her horrible disease.”Ms. Taylor, also known as Teresa Nervosa, addressed her long battle with what she called an “end stage” lung condition, which she did not identify, in a 2021 Facebook post.

‘Horseplay’ Review: Boys Will Be Boys
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Kyle Turner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Boys will be boys, as the saying goes. There’s not a lot of forward momentum in “Horseplay,” directed by Marco Berger and set outside a city in Argentina. !” taken to extremes, both in its laid back pace but also in the consequences of its characters fooling around. The audience sees something roil in one member of the group, Poli (Franco de la Puente), as he gazes at some of the young men faking fellatio and playacting penetration. But everyone else is content to lounge in the cognitive dissonance of the blurry boundaries of their homosocial intimacy rituals.

Rapp, watching Spacey accept his prize, threw a pencil at the screen, he testified this week. Spacey’s lawyers have tried to convince the jury of six men and six women that Rapp fabricated his claim in large part because he was bitterly envious of their client's success. Rapp, they contend, desperately wanted Spacey’s career: the hit films, the plum roles, the two Oscars. But through the first five days of the trial in downtown Manhattan, Rapp’s alleged jealousy has been a recurring and striking theme. “I wanted my career.”Warrington Parker, a San Francisco trial attorney, and Danny Cevallos, an NBC News legal analyst, both described the jealousy argument as a high-risk bet for Spacey’s lawyers.
(video) Recomandări de la Mircea, fără spoilere: acum pe Netflix – cinci filme existențiale care te vor ajuta să înțelegi cine eștiCând eram copil, obișnuiam să cred că toate familiile sunt la fel, că au aceleași probleme, rutină și model de educație. Cu acest gând și pentru că totul începe din familie, am pregătit o listă de filme disponibile pe Netflix, despre cinci modele de familii disfuncționale și despre dificultățile cu care se confruntă acestea. O poveste profund personală, chiar înfricoșătoare, în care o femeie învață să trăiască purtând în suflet durerea unei pierderi copleșitoare. Prezentarea cu umor a unei lumi crude pe care o recunoști sau de care trebuie să te bucuri că n-a trebuit să o înfrunți. Boyhood este atât o capsulă nostalgică trecutului recent, cât și o odă adusă maturizării și educării unui copil.
