Can I interest you in a horror movie about Jesus? How about a horror movie about Jesus ... starring Nicolas Cage? The new movie "The Carpenter's Son" will be just that — a horror pic inspired by the unknown childhood years of Jesus H. Christ himself. For those of you not very schooled in a little book called The Bible, just know that after Jesus' birth is recounted, almost nothing is known about his childhood. The traditional story traditionally jump-cuts to his adult years when he's starting out his ministry. However, there are unofficial, uncanonical texts that recount Jesus' youth, including the apocryphal gospel the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. This apocryphal gospel will be the basis for "The Carpenter's Son," which hails from director Lotfy Nathan.
According to Deadline, Cage will play the Carpenter, aka Joseph, Jesus' adoptive father. Jesus' mother, Mary, will be played by FKA twigs, and Big J himself,...

Apple took home its first animated short Oscar for “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse,” a magical fable featuring a star-studded voice cast and luxurious hand-drawn animation.
The film won at the 95th Academy Awards over the category’s other nominees: Pamela Ribon and Sara Gunnarsdóttir’s buzzy “My Year of Dicks”; “The Flying Sailor” from Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby; “Ice Merchants” from João Gonzalez and Bruno Caetano; and Lachlan Pendragon’s “An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It.”
“The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” is based on the book of the same name by British artist and author Charlie Mackesy. Apple Original Films acquired the film last year and it debuted on Apple TV+ on Christmas Day 2022. The film was presented in partnership with the BBC, which made it available on broadcast and streaming in the U.

As the animation team came together to adapt Charlie Mackesy’s 2019 book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, the challenge for art director Mike McCain was to recreate Mackesy’s artistic style in motion. The animated short follows a boy searching for a home. Along the way, he meets three animals who are also looking for a place to belong and begin to develop a bond. While McCain hadn’t had much experience with ink lines and watercolors at the start of the project, he had Mackesy helping to guide the animation to capture his “fluid and gestural” style. By the end of the project, McCain and the animators created hundreds of backgrounds for the animation.

“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” was the big winner at the 50th annual Annie Awards, winning five categories in the award show that honors the best in animation. Fellow Oscar-nominees “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” and “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” won three and two awards, respectively.
“Pinocchio” led all films with nine nominations and went into the ceremony as a strong favorite to win the top award. The dark stop-motion take on the “Pinocchio” story also came into the ceremony at a time when its distributor, Netflix, has been dominating the Annies. Last year, its film “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” was nominated in eight categories and won all eight, including Best Feature, while the eventual Oscar winner “Encanto” settled for three awards in categories in which “Mitchells” was not nominated. And two years before that, Netflix’s “Klaus” was a surprise winner over Pixar’s “Toy Story 4,...

Universal and Blumhouse’s creepy doll thriller “M3GAN” crushed expectations with its killer 30 million opening weekend, heating up a traditionally frigid time at the box office while affirming moviegoers’ obsession with horror films.
Since January tends to be quiet at the movies, “M3GAN” also became the first release in over a decade — since 2012’s “The Devil Inside” kicked off to 33.7 million — to open above 30 million in the first week of the new year. It’s also the largest debut for an original film since Jordan Peele’s “Nope,” another Universal title, debuted to 44 million last July.
None of these box office milestones are surprising to anyone who has recently been on Twitter or TikTok, where the manicured robotic doll — with her chaotic dance moves and pithy one-liners — has become the instant camp icon of every marketing executive’s dreams. Legend has it that Chucky, Annabelle and The Boy were found...

BBC News reporter Sean Dilley says he tackled and apprehended a thief following an attempted phone robbery.
Dilley is congenitally blind and uses a guide dog, but was able to “instinctively” leap on the alleged perpetrator after his phone was snatched from his hand.
According to Dilley, the assailant was riding a bike when he grabbed his phone.
“A man on a bike just Snatched and stole my iPhone from my hand,” Dilley wrote on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon (27 December). “Wrong blind person wrong day.
“Jumped on him, safely detained and got my phone back. Quite a few cuts and bruises but tweeting on the phone he stole (and I recovered).”
In a series of follow-up tweets, Dilley provided further details about the incident, assuring followers that he was Ok but admitting that the manoeuvre was “risky”.

TV viewers have been left in floods of tears after watching the BBC’s adaptation of The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.
Based on Charlie Mackesy’s 2019 illustrated book about a group of animals who become unlikely friends, the half-hour TV adaptation featured an all-star voice cast including Idris Elba and Tom Hollander.
The episode aired on Christmas Eve on BBC One, with viewers admitting that the “beautiful” and simple animation “broke” them.
“The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse on @BBCOne is absolutely stunning,” one viewer tweeted. “What beautiful, beautiful animation. I’m a blubbering wreck.”
“A classic that is sure to be a regular Christmas staple. Not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby!” another commenter wrote.
One viewer called it “the most beautiful thing you’ll watch this Christmas”, while another said it was “heart-warming and life-affirming stuff”.

Author and illustrator Charlie Mackesy didn’t necessarily set out to write a book, let alone a best-seller that has affected the lives of countless people around the world.
“It was a series of drawings that I posted on Instagram, really,” Mackesy, the author behind “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse,” tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. Mackesy started by posting drawings of a boy and a mole, and their imagined conversations prioritized values like kindness, empathy, and forgiveness. After he added a horse to the mix, Mackesy wrote an interaction that spawned a movement: “What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever said?” the boy asks the horse in Mackesy’s book. “Help,” says the horse in response.
“I think that was the first time I was really shocked by the response worldwide from hospitals and schools, and even the army in Australia, and Canada,...

Within structure, create chaos.
While likely not “What We Do in the Shadows'” guiding mantra, the above has proven to be a winning formula for the FX comedy. Over three-plus seasons, Jemaine Clement’s creation does utilize various rules. The series follows its cinematic predecessor’s mockumentary structure, relying on a small group of documentarians to tell the story of four vampire roommates and their familiar-turned-bodyguard, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén). Similarly, Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) must abide by their own laws of survival (and vampire society) as they make the most of life in Staten Island. There’s also the classic sitcom structure that provides rules of its own — from runtimes to joke buttons, character arcs to inciting incidents, A-plots to C-plots — but let’s not get too far into these weeds.

Glee went to a dark place this week. They've done that before, and created some of the show's best episodes in the process. Despite a few notable highs, this wasn't one of those times.
To summarize: Kurt was adorable in gold lamé pants, Dot Marie Jones was impossibly good as Shannon Beiste, Tina had dialogue and got to sing, Blaine was funny, there were three good songs, and can I please, please not have to write this recap? This episode made me want to lie down on my bed and cry and sob and never get up.
Everything is just terrible in Lima this week. Coach Beiste is being beaten up by her husband, and she says she's leaving him and everyone is supporting her and then she goes back to him, and Rachel chokes at her audition and cries and cries and cries, and at first I didn't care...

From the few details available, this looks like it's going to be a quiet, reminiscing, character focused drama somewhat akin to Roland Vranik's Transmission which is much loved here at Quiet Earth.

The film is directed, written, scored, shot, edited and narrated by Alexander Voulgaris and stars Argyris Thanasoulas, Ioanna Stavropouou, Giannis Laspias, Dafni Manousou, Leonardo Sfontouris, and Angeliki Karistinou.
