Netflix’s latest thriller Don’t Move promises a spine-tingling experience as it follows a woman’s desperate struggle to survive against a relentless killer. Directed by Brian Netto and Adam Schindler, with Sam Raimi as a producer, this 92-minute survival horror delves into themes of grief, resilience, and sheer willpower. Set in the expansive yet isolating woods, Don’t Move showcases a talented cast, each bringing their own depth to the high-stakes storyline.

Don’t Move: Main Cast & Characters Kelsey Asbille as Iris Character: Iris, the film’s central character, is a grieving mother who finds herself injected with a paralytic agent by a killer. Her race against time to survive is complicated by her body slowly shutting down, yet she displays remarkable resourcefulness and resilience. About the Actor: Known for her roles in Yellowstone and Wind River, Kelsey Asbille delivers a powerful performance, capturing Iris’s vulnerability and fierce determination.

Kelsey Asbille has earned the reputation of being somewhat of a chameleon. From her early roles in One Tree Hill and Teen Wolf to her Native American portrayals in Wind River and Yellowstone, the young Chinese-American star has adapted to the opportunities Hollywood presents her. In recent months, Asbille has donned daring looks that suit her blunt bob and new roles. Now, she’s pivoted to the horror genre with 2024’s Don’t Move.

On October 22, Asbille stepped out with Don’t Move costar Finn Wittrock for an LA photo call promoting the horror-thriller. The Yellowstone star went minimalist regarding her accessories. She walked in simple black slingback heels, forgoing jewelry entirely. The 33-year-old didn’t need much in that department as her sequined black gown stole the show.

CloverWorks is an animation studio, better known for its romantic comedies with gorgeous animation and amazing storylines. From Horimiya and the quirky Spy x Family, they never fail to deliver a great story and memorable characters. While the studio is very much used to catering towards a female audience, they went beyond their comfort zone and decided to take on Wind Breaker. This anime involves a lot more fight scenes and a predominantly male cast than CloverWorks is used to animating but they were up for the challenge.

The studio seems determined to get rid of the perception that it’s an animation studio primarily catering for either gender too. By taking on Wind Breaker, CloverWorks is ready to tackle animating action and male characters but also to not box the anime into something catered to one gender. They want Wind Breaker to shine to any audience,...

John Wayne is an American institution, and that's kind of a pity. The films he made from the 1930s through the 1970s all presented what many consider the most persistent cinematic archetypes of old-world machismo. Wayne was a symbol of stalwart, unbending manliness, a testament to the power of being gruff and insoluble. It is, however, hard to accept him as a positive role model when one recalls how bigoted he was in life. Every few years, his 1971 interview with Playboy Magazine resurfaces and a new crowd discovers Wayne vaunting the values of white supremacy and flippantly excoriating minorities.

He also, in that interview, talked about the moral righteousness of his old Westerns, saying that Europeans were in the right for stealing American land from the First Nation people. He was pretty despicable.

But he was also one of the biggest movie stars of all time, and cinema lovers have...

Al, 69, has appeared on NBC since the late 1970s and NBC’s Today full-time since 1996.

The interesting events of House of the Dragon Season 2 have prompted fans to take a trip down memory lane to Game of Thrones. Several moments in the Og series still excite fans, however, the fate of Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen is not something they want to remember with fondness. Fans agree that her one decision if made right could’ve earned her the throne much earlier on the show.

Fans believe that she should’ve picked another more cunning character in the show as her hand over Tyrion Lannister. Fans criticized Tyrion for being bad at his job and blamed him for stopping Dany from invading Westeros when she had the chance.

Although pretty much all of the projects tamed by Taylor Sheridan have been absolute pieces of real masterworks, Wind River, somehow, surpassed all of those expectations by tremendous margins. But while it was a major blockbuster success both at the global box offices as well as among critics and general audiences, it also received some typical scathing criticism from some viewers.

Other things apart, one of the most nitpicked parts of the iconic masterpiece from 2017 that might as well be called its biggest criticism was casting Jeremy Renner in the lead instead of an Indigenous actor. However, as harshly as critics pointed this one primary feature of the movie out, Sheridan also didn’t quite have the choice if he really wanted to get people to watch the film in the first place.

Wind River‘s Greatest Criticism is Connected to Its Male...

With the release of films like Mad God and The Spine of Night (not to mention a poignant reminder by Guillermo del Toro at the 95th Academy Awards ceremony), it seems like Western audiences are one step closer to catching up with the rest of the world in realizing that animation is more than capable of telling complex, adult-oriented stories.

However, this doesn’t mean that older animated films avoided mature themes and experimental narratives – it’s just that many of these movies turned out to be huge flops, with the very best of them destined to become cult classics decades after they underperformed at the box-office. And when it comes to animated flops, there are few films more remarkable than Clive A. Smith’s beautiful disaster, 1983’s Rock & Rule. An unprecedented financial failure, this oddball rock opera would go on to entertain fans of weird cinema for decades...

Wind Breaker Is Missing This Character Trope, and It's Refreshing - Main Image

Among the character tropes featured in Wind Breaker, fans observe that one specific trope found in most shonen anime is absent from the series. Rather than complaining, many find it refreshing that Wind Breaker does not feature this character trope.

TV Tropes had a list of the character tropes in Wind Breaker, from the non-action guy trope that is Nirei Akihiko to the tsundere character that is Haruka Sakura.

If one scans through it, they'll see that Wind Breaker is unlike any other shonen or delinquent anime because of this missing character trope.

Wind Breaker Has No Perverted Character Trope

Unlike other shonen or delinquent anime, Wind Breaker does not have any perverted main characters that constantly want to go on dates with girls, peep into girls' locker rooms, or incessantly chase girls they encounter on the street.

This week, two attorneys will stand and make their cases to the jury. Yes, that jury and that trial, which may put a former—and future?—president behind bars. This is when the pressure falls on the prosecution and defense to make their final claims of guilt or innocence.

“At this point, parties are free to use hypothetical analogies to make their points; to comment on the credibility of the witnesses, to discuss how they believe the various pieces of the puzzle fit into a compelling whole, and to advocate why jurors should decide the case in their favor,” explains the official site of the Federal Court System.

Or, we can just recall the most memorable, decisive arguments made on screen. Hey, we can handle the truth! Here is my list of 10 to remember.

Writer-director Pablo Berger’s Robot Dreams opens on a nighttime shot of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan skyline in the distance. The year is 1984, and the Twin Towers loom, figuratively and literally, as ghostly figures. Berger’s breathtaking adaptation of Sara Varon’s graphic novel of the same name isn’t about the towers in any specific fashion, but about a world in which change is the only constant, life of any kind is at the mercy of randomness, and joy and melancholy are in ongoing symbiosis. In other words, our world—albeit one populated here, not by humans, but by anthropomorphic, humanoid animals.

Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone days may be over, but one couldn’t deny the fact that the show would’ve never taken off without John Dutton. Costner was partly responsible for why Paramount trusted Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama to work as a TV series. Costner earlier revealed that the project was planned as a very long movie initially, but the plans changed midway to make it into a series.

Costner shared that Yellowstone was made into this larger project mainly due to the involvement of a mainstream star like him. The series is currently in its fifth season, with the second part of the finale season under development. It also spawned two spinoff series so far, 1883 and 1923.

Taylor Sheridan brought anyone with an experience on the ranch into his show Yellowstone. This included the acclaimed country musician Ryan Bingham. Bingham plays the guest role of a ranch hand, Walker, in the series. Interestingly, Sheridan is a big fan of the singer’s music and listened to one of his songs on a loop while writing the script for his pre-Yellowstone film, Wind River.

Ryan Bingham’s most recent album, American Love Song, featured a ballad called Wolves, which was inspired by the student organization March For Our Lives. The song was featured in the Taylor Sheridan series, where Bingham’s character sings the song in a scene.

China’s unprecedented economic and social transformation in the latter part of the 20th century has been picked over in dozens of movies by filmmakers ranging from Jia Zhangke and Zhang Yimou to Wang Xiaoshuai. But with more than one billion people affected by China’s transformation, there is no shortage of personal stories and no end of ways to tell the tale.

Sophomore filmmaker Huo Meng trains his eye on one of those stories in his second film, “The Wind Is Unstoppable,” which he is just finishing off.

Huo burst onto the indie scene in 2018 with his debut feature, “Crossing the Border — Zhaoguan,” which travelled to the Pingyao and Berlin festivals and the Golden Rooster Awards. He will present ”The Wind Is Unstoppable” as a work-in-progress at the Hong Kong — Asia Film Financing Forum.

Fade up on a mountain of rocks in a quarry — raw material for construction, for literal nation-building, yet mining also destabilizes the land. The shot tracks along, as we hear a distant rumble – is it a storm on the horizon, far-off construction, or something more ominous? The camera comes to rest on an empty frame. The protagonist, Lim Cheng Soon (Peter Yu) and his brother Cheng Boon (Johnson Choo) rise from below, where they've been digging for rocks, up into frame.

Mountain thriller Kingdom Of The Blind and ground-breaking Guadeloupe-set feature Zion were among the in-development feature projects and works-in-progress picking up prizes at Les Arcs Film Festival’s 15th Industry Village on Monday.

Around 700 cinema professionals from across Europe are attending the meeting taking place within the framework of the festival, unfolding in the French Alps from December 16 to 23.

The industry meeting, running December 16-19, encompasses the Coproduction Village and the Talent Village, for projects at development stage, as well as a Works-in-Progress showcase and the Music Village.

The thriller was among 18 European film projects presented at the Coproduction Village, selected from 269 submitted projects.

Set in an imaginary valley in the French Pyrenees mountains, the picture revolves around a woman with a dark secret from her childhood who attempts to start a new life under another identity.

Say what you want about 1960s classic rockers, they usually spoke their minds about their contemporaries. Paul Simon called a Paul McCartney song “garbage.” He said the mindset behind the song and a political song from John Lennon offended him. The former track was banned by the BBC for being too controversial.

Paul Simon dismissed a Paul McCartney song that promotes Irish republicanism

One of Wings’ most controversial songs was “Give Ireland Back to the Irish.” It promoted Irish republicanism — the belief that Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland should be one nation with no ties to the British monarchy. During a 1972 interview with Rolling Stone, Simon dismissed the tune. “‘Give Ireland Back to the Irish’ — that’s garbage,” he said. “I don’t say that someone can’t write a social song, or even a song that’s a political song, and have it work, as a song and as a political statement.

Controversial Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy doesn’t like what he’s seen about how the journalism sausage is made.

Portnoy is hosting a “One Bite Pizza Festival” in Brooklyn, N.Y. today. Before the festival, Washington Post reporter Emily Heil reached out to the festival’s sponsors to see whether they had any comment on Portnoy’s association with the event.

A screenshot Portnoy published on the Barstool website quotes the email: “We are planning to write about the festival and how some of the sponsors and participants have drawn criticism by seeming to associate themselves with Dave Portnoy, who has a history of misogynistic comments and other problematic behavior.”

Portnoy confronted Heil in a phone call he taped and posted on social media. The video was headlined, “I Caught Wind That The Washington Post Was Writing A Hit Piece About Me And My Pizzafest So I Did What I Do.

Thursday night’s audience at Broadway’s Here Lies Love got a surprise bonus performance when DJ Fatboy Slim, who co-wrote the musical with David Byrne, took to the stage and spun a one-night-only set following the show.

Among those audience members: Byrne, who hugged and did a brief dance with Slim (aka Norman Cook) when the DJ jumped from his stage booth to the dance floor of the heavily renovated Broadway Theatre. The DJ’s 90-minute set was his first New York City show in more than 10 years.

During the set, Slim spun such records as Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” and John Paul Young’s “Love Is in the Air,” not to mention Byrne’s own “Lazy” and his Talking Heads classic “Once in a Lifetime.”

Here Lies Love, which tells the story of former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos in a dance-club setting, began previews at the...

Lionel Richie is apologizing for having to cancel a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden.

The “Hello” singer took the stage on Monday at the massive New York City venue — for the postponed concert that was supposed to be held on Saturday — and explained why he had been forced to cancel the previously scheduled show.

“I had two ‘No’s at the same time… [and] When God says no, and then the pilot says no, the answer [is no],” said Richie.

On Saturday, the 74-year-old “All Night Long” singer was booked to perform alongside Earth, Wind & Fire, however, the event was cancelled and rescheduled for Aug. 14 after fans had already filled the venue.

At 8:30 p.m., Richie took to X/Twitter to announce the show would not go on and shared, “Due to severe weather and being unable to land in the NY and surrounding areas, I’m unable to make it to the show tonight.

There isn’t anything anyone could say to Victoria Monét that would knock the confidence that functions as the driving force behind her latest single, “On My Mama.” The record, which will appear on her debut album Jaguar II when it arrives on Aug. 25, opens with a declaration: “When they say, “She get it from her mama” / I’ma say, “You fuckin’ right” / Body rude, it’s unpolite / Done bein’ the humble type.” In the newly released “On My Mama” video,” directed by Child., Monét leans fully into those affirmations.

Lionel Richie angered thousands of New York City fans on Saturday night when he didn’t make it to his concert at Madison Square Garden, cancelling the show more than an hour after it had been scheduled to start.

According to Deadline, promoters pulled the plug on the sold-out show, on which Richie shared the bill with Earth, Wind & Fire, disappointing the 19,000-plus fans in attendance who had been patiently awaiting his arrival.
