'Million Dollar Baby' movie with Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood. 'Million Dollar Baby' movie: Clint Eastwood contrived, overlong drama made (barely) watchable by first-rate central performance Fresh off the enthusiastically received – and insincere – Mystic River, Clint Eastwood went on to tackle the ups and downs of the boxing world in the 2004 melo Million Dollar Baby. Despite the cheery title, this is not the usual Rocky-esque rags-to-riches story of the determined underdog who inevitably becomes a super-topdog once she (in this case it's a “she”) puts on her gloves, jumps into the boxing ring, and starts using other women as punching bags. That's because about two-thirds into the film, Million Dollar Baby takes a radical turn toward tragedy that is as unexpected as everything else on screen is painfully predictable. In fact, once the dust is settled, even that last third quickly derails into the same sentimental mush Eastwood and...

Saturday’s episode of ‘The Voice India’ began with the public voting results of team Mika and team Shaan. Host Karan reminded viewers that the winner would receive a record deal with Universal Music and prize money. The special guest for this episode was legendary playback singer Usha Utthap. Ushaji has sung many famous Bollywood numbers from ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ to the more recent ‘Darling’ from Saath Khoon Maaf.

It was then time for host Karan to announce team Mika’s public voting results. Tanvair was safe and Passang was eliminated. Passang thanked all four coaches for supporting her through her journey on the show and she feels very lucky to have made it to the Top 4. Host Karan then announced the public voting results from team Shaan. Snigdhajit was safe and Ritu was eliminated. Coach Mika took a selfie with Ritu and her brother. Now each team has 3 contestants.

The popular musical reality show ‘The Voice India’ on &TV is slowly but surely reaching its final stages, and will feature a star studded musical line up of special guests this weekend.

As various reports suggest, legendary veteran playback singer and performer Usha Uthup will be appearing on Saturday’s episode this week. According to Bollywood Life, Usha ji said, “I have been following The Voice India and I’m more than impressed with the budding singers and the mentoring they have been receiving. It’s an absolute pleasure to be a part of such a good music show and amongst all the lovely coaches.”

Sunday’s episode will see Father and Son duo Udit Narayan and Aditya Narayan as special guests on the show. Aditya has also previously hosted reality show SaReGaMaPa challenge 2007 and 2009.

Oscar-nominated composer Marco Beltrami creates a stirring, evocative score for Twentieth Century Fox’s contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, Fantastic Four.

Beltrami co-scored the film with iconic minimalist composer Philip Glass.

Fantastic Four opens in theaters nationwide on August 7, 2015.

The soundtrack is terrific and is available digitally now; on CD August 14, 2015 from Sony Classical.

Directed by Josh Trank, and screenwriters Jeremy Slater and Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: First Class,” X-Men; Days of Future Past”, “Sherlock Holmes”), Fantastic Four is a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s first, and longest-running superhero team. Based on the Marvel comic written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the film follows four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe that alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

Reed Richards (Miles Teller) introduces Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) to his fellow inter-dimensional travelers Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) and Victor Domashev (Toby Kebbell) in the first clip for Fantastic Four. The scene takes place as they all make a history-breaking journey to an alternate universe, where they will all get their own unique super powers. We haven't seen much of Toby Kebbell's Victor Domashev before he turns into the villainous Doom, but he appears to be just a normal guy getting ready to travel into another world in this scene. And the clip begs the question, where is Sue Storm?

20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four reboot is said to be based on the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" comics, offering a a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel's original and longest-running superhero team. The story centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

20th Century Fox and Sony Classical have unveiled full details on the upcoming soundtrack album for the Josh Trank-directed Fantastic Four, which stars Michael B. Jordan (Creed), Miles Teller (Whiplash), Kate Mara (The Martian), Jamie Bell (Snowpiercer), and Toby Kebbell (Warcraft) in the lead roles. The album features music composed by the duo of Marco Beltrami (The Wolverine) & Philip Glass (The Hours) and will be released everywhere on August 14th, a week after the film's worldwide release.

Spiro chief Eitan Mansuri will be in Toronto with final draft of Lavie’s The Current Love Of My Life.

Talya Lavie’s second feature The Current Love Of My Life, a New York-set comedy in which secular and orthodox worlds collide, is moving towards a 2016 shoot, according to producer Eitan Mansuri of Tel Aviv’s Spiro Films.

Lavie’s debut Zero Motivation, which captured the ennui of a group of female army recruits, became the best-performing Israeli film at the local box office when it was released last year.

“It’s got the backing of the Israel Film Fund and now we’re trying to figure out whether it makes sense to go with North American partners for the financing or build a European co-production,” Mansuri said of Lavie’s new project.

He plans to attend Toronto and the project forum of the Independent Filmmaker Project in New York in September as part of the decision-making...

Britain's Got Talent stars The Neales have admitted that they aren't trying to make anyone cry after Simon Cowell got emotional during their performance of 'Father and Son' last night.

The father and sons group - Laurie, James, Phil and Dan - made it into Sunday night's final after the judges decided to send them through over Boyband.

The group - who admitted they thought they had "no chance" of getting through over Boyband - explained that it was "amazing" to move people with their performance.

"We just went on stage and you can see we loved it, and then for people to find that emotional because we're on stage having a great time together is really touching," Phil told Digital Spy today. "All of the judges were a little bit choked up and I know a lot of the audience were from the tweets. It's just a...

Father and son wine tour tale reunites directorial duo Benoit Delépine and Gustave Kervern with Gérard Depardieu and Benoît Po

Le Pacte has picked up sales on Benoit Delépine and Gustave Kervern’s latest collaboration Saint Amour, starring Gérard Depardieu and Benoît Poelvoorde as a farmer and his son who bond and find love on an eventful wine tour.

Delépine and Kervern last worked with Depardieu on their 2010 comic road movie Mammuth, which premiered in Berlin, was a breakout arthouse hit in France and sold well internationally.

Poelvoorde is a frequent collaborator with Delépine and Kervern, starring most recently as middle-aged punk in Le Grand Soir – which won Un Certain Regard’s Grand Jury Prize in 2012.

In Saint Amour, Poelvoorde plays disheartened cattle breeder Bruno who is attending the Paris International Agriculture Show with his father Jean, played by Depardieu.

The latter is hoping their prize bull Nabucodonosor will finally take top honours at the event and that...

New projects by Karabey, Aydogan, Sakaoglu among award winners at Istanbul Meetings

New film projects by Hüseyin Karabey, Zekeriya Aydoğan, and Sinem Sakaoğlu were among the award winners at the 10th edition of Meetings on the Bridge (April 15-16) during the Istanbul Film Festival.

Four awards were given to projects presented as part of this year’s Film Project Development Workshop and were decided by an international jury comprising of such leading industry figures as Meinolf Zurhorst (Zdf), Sergio Garcia De Leaniz (Eurimages), Gabrielle Dumon (Le Bureau Films), Giovanni Robbiano (Mediterranean Film Institute/Mfi) and Khalil Benkirane (Doha Film Institute).

The $ 10,000 Meetings On The Bridge Award went to German-born director Tarik Aktaş’ Dead Horse Nebula - about a sequence of incidents taking place around a small village -, while the € 10,000 Cnc Award was given to The Death of Father and Son by Zekeriya Aydoğan, a period drama set in the Kurdish society.

Father and son relationships can be complicated, and that's certainly the case for Tony and Senior on NCIS. Robert Wagner returns as Anthony Dinozzo, Sr., in "The Artful Dodger," and his surprise visit just so happens to come at the exact time that his knowledge and contacts in the black market art world are needed for a murder case.

As much as I love to see Senior, it feels like every time he shows up, it's the same old cycle. Senior comes to visit, and he's the same Anthony as always. (Remember, Tony only found out that he didn't get on a flight for Thanksgiving after it had already landed.) Something happens, and he gets involved in the team's current case, a surefire way to make the investigation more intriguing. Tony wants him gone, the others just find him amusing and Tony's childhood (and comments made before his father first...

Eric Christian Olsen and wife Sarah Wright are both on hit TV shows and they opened up to Et about how they balance it all.

Video: Chris O'Donnell Directs "Most Intense Episode" Yet of NCIS:La

Between Eric's role on CBS' NCIS: Los Angeles and Sarah's gig on the NBC comedy Marry Me, the couple has to split duty in taking care of their 17-month-old son Wyatt Oliver.

"I would put him to bed and do the bath and everything, and then he would wake up and he'd be like, 'Mama?' and I'd be like, 'It's just me and you, man,'" Eric told Et.

Eric and Sarah wed in June 2012 in Wyoming and welcomed son Wyatt one year later. Father and son have had plenty of time to bond lately as mom's been working late.

Old man, take a look at Jimmy Fallon, he's a lot like you.

John Belushi may have done it with Joe Cocker on Saturday Night Live, but it takes a lot of guts to do an impression of a musician onstage with that musician. Fortunately, Fallon, 40, is up to the challenge.

The Tonight Show host performed alongside Neil Young on Tuesday night's show … as Neil Young.

Fallon trots out his Neil Young impression pretty frequently, but it's never had a more appropriate spot than onstage next to the legendary singer as he's performing "Old Man." Fallon starts off the clip playing solo,...

What better way to celebrate the life of one of the world's greatest ever singers? A man who sold over 150 million records and won eleven Grammy Awards?

Scoop up some rejected singers from The Voice UK, gather some rejected props from The Voice UK and assemble some judges not good enough to be rejected from The Voice UK. Then put it on BBC One.

Spread all over last Saturday night like tar, Frank Sinatra: Our Way featured seven 'talented but unknown music acts from across the UK' who were competing to win a slot to perform at the singer's centenary concert later this year.

Presented by Alexander Armstrong and Rochelle Humes, who were both doing the best with what scraps they had, we were confronted with a judging panel that comprised of Rufus Hound, Mica Paris, Dave Stewart and Leo Green. And they had absolutely no sway at all.

'Tis the season of the year-end mash-up (we're lookin' at you, Us the Duo and DJ Earworm). But we're taking a break from pressing repeat on those two for these videos that have caught our attention.

Yet another film is aiming to be rebooted as a TV series for next Fall. NBC is reportedly planning a small screen adaptation of the 2000 lo-fi time travel thriller "Frequency" which starred Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel.

"Supernatural" writer, producer and show runner Jeremy Carver has reportedly created a new take on the material and the network has issued a script-plus-penalty commitment for the character driven drama.

Carver will write the pilot episode which, like the original, will focus on a NYPD detective who connects with his son thirty years in the future. Father and son will work together to stop several tragic events from coming to pass, all while finding time to heal their own fractured relationship.

Toby Emmerich, who wrote the original film, will return as a producer on the series.

Another old movie is getting the TV reboot treatment. NBC plans to turn the 2000 time travel thriller Frequency into a weekly series, with Supernatural writer, producer and show runner Jeremy Carver creating this new take on the material.

NBC has issued a script-plus-penalty commitment for what is being described as a character driven drama. Jeremy Carver will write the pilot episode, which is set to focus on a NYPD detective who connects with his son 30 years into the future. Father and son will work together to change history and stop several tragic events from coming to pass. In the meantime, they will find time to heal their own fractured relationship.

Toby Emmerich wrote the original feature film, which took place in 1999, and followed a homicide detective (James Caviezel) who makes contact with his late father (Dennis Quaid) 30 years in the past, on the day of his death. The two work...

Last week was a low blow for our heroes. Captain Irving is still struggling to maintain his sanity without his soul and the gang accidentally acquired a super rare poison for Henry aka the Horseman of War. He used that nefarious, suspiciously blood-like mixture to create a Freakin’ Spider that crawled into Katrina’s mouth. No. God, no. Please…no. Ugh. With Moloch’s minions having the upper hand, will the Scooby gang rack up a win this week in “Deliverance?” ******* We open on Ichabod and Katrina in bed, bathed in blue light and gossamer sheets. So this is either a memory or a dream. The couple share some platitudes about the grueling schedule of the Revolutionary War interfering with them getting it on like rabbits. Ichabod shares his hopes for their future children, which is sweet. He then flips Katrina over and chokes her out while spitting spiders into her mouth,...

I was dimly aware, as a fan of both Stephen King and Joe Hill, that movies based on King's A Good Marriage and Hill's Horns were on the way. But Uncle Stevie totally took me by surprise with this tweet from last Friday: "My son's film, Horns, is Also available via VOD today. Father and son movies! How Cool Is That???" Horns is the first film made from a work by Joe Hill, based on his 2010 sophomore novel. A Good Marriage is from the same year, with Stephen King adapting his own novella, found in the collection Full Dark, No Stars, for the screen, something he's done rarely and not recently. (The last King feature screenplay appears to have been Pet Sematary, 25 years ago.) I watched both films back-to-back. Here's how they stack up alongside one another.Stand-alone Entertainment ValueHorns starts out like a realist film about a guy...

Jim Mickle's "Cold In July" isn't just set in Texas, it sweats Texas. Taking place in the 1980s, the filmmaker has great fun with the era, embracing everything from the hairstyles to the loud fashion, and he infuses it with a distinctive swagger that makes his neon slicked noir more than just a genre exercise. And some of that unique texture also comes from the film's soundtrack, and today we have two tracks to give you a flavor of what "Cold In July" serves up. Starring Michael C. Hall, Don Johnson, Sam Shepard and Vinessa Shaw, the film follows an ordinary man who, in the process of defending his home from a break in, shoots and kills the intruder. But things only get more complicated when the burglar's father, an fearsome ex-con, comes looking for vengeance. And Jeff Grace's synth soaked score, highlighted in "Father And Son" below,...

Father and son cancer survivors Dave and Connor O'Leary won the 24th season of "The Amazing Race" on Sunday. This all-star edition of the CBS staple brought together 11 teams from previous seasons that had been thwarted in their previous bids for the million dollar prize.

As Dave tells us during our webcam chat (watch below), he had just finished a year of physical therapy when the call came to be in this new season.  -Break- What did you think of this season of 'The Amazing Race'?

New York (AP) — Kiss made up, but its music went unheard. Nirvana used four women rockers to sing Kurt Cobain's songs. And Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band — predictably — turned its honor into a marathon. The three acts were ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday in a colorful induction ceremony at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. They were joined by the blue-eyed soul duo Hall & Oates, British rocker Peter Gabriel, 1970s folkie Cat Stevens and the absent Linda Ronstadt. Nirvana was the emotional centerpiece. The trio rooted in the Seattle-area punk rock scene was voted into the hall in its first year of eligibility. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit like a thunderclap upon its 1991 release, but the band was done after Kurt Cobain committed suicide 20 years ago this month. "Nirvana fans walk up to me every day and say thank you for the music," said Krist Novoselic,...

Interview Simon Brew 7 Feb 2014 - 07:17

Simon talks to the director of Mr Peabody & Sherman about child actors, straight to video sequels, and animation vs live action

Since he co-directed The Lion King, Rob Minkoff hasn't made a full-on animated film since. He mixed animation with live action in a pair of Stuart Little movies (setting off a bit of a trend there), and went on to tackle The Haunted Mansion, The Forbidden Kingdom, and Flypaper amongst others.

Mr Peabody & Sherman brings him back to animation though, and he spared us some time to chat about. What's more, he talked too about the time he was offered the director's chair on Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2. Here's how our chat went...

If I've got this right, then this one's been on your plate for a decade, if not more than that. At one stage it was said to have a live action element to it.

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average Lego minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

The wild-and wildly popular-History show returns when Swamp People: Season 4 arrives on DVD February 11 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Hanif Kureishi's muse has long been transgression: dazzling early success was followed by a sex-and-drugs phase, family falling-out and a lacerating novel about marital breakdown. Now, with The Last Word, has he finally pinned down who he really is?

The first time I met Hanif Kureishi it was the mid-80s, and we talked about writing fiction for Faber and Faber whose list I was directing. Kureishi came into my office like a rock star and I remember thinking that he did not seem in need of a career move. He was already riding high on the international success of his screenplay, My Beautiful Laundrette.

In fact, Kureishi was cannily pondering his next step. He was on the lookout for a means of self-expression that might sustain a way of life and over which he could have some control. Movies, he said, were chancy, a gold-rush business. There was...

With Nebraska, director Alexander Payne returns to his home state of Nebraska to gracefully examine the lives of aging Midwesterners. Lensed in nostalgic black-and-white, Payne’s new film is anchored by an epic, awards-worthy performance by 7-year old Bruce Dern (crowned Best Actor at Cannes), but it’s not the unstable crazed Dern that made the actor a star in the ‘70s with films like Black Sunday, Tattoo and Coming Home. Dern’s Woody Grant (a role offered to Gene Hackman to unsuccessfully lure him out of retirement) doesn’t say a lot in Nebraska nor does his expression change much. It’s a role that forces him to skate by on a Hollywood veteran’s charisma and gravity and presence, something tough for any actor to do, but Dern pulls it off in spectacular form, turning this deceptively slight film into one of the year’s best.

‘Story of Father and Son’ (父與子)

Written by Ching Gong

Hong Kong, 1954

The further away we are from a given time period, the easier it becomes to sharpen our focus on what is being said in their films. There is a hyper-awareness that comes from the inspection of anything that isn’t directly (and easily) related to you. The defensive shields are down and the viewpoint becomes increasingly historical as time passes. That’s not to say objective criticism (an oxymoron) or objective observation is possible, just that the viewpoint is different. This logic can extend even further when you’re inspecting something from a distant culture–yes, this is the right time to shudder at the use of such barren words as inspect or logic. While the subtlety and arcanum of a culture may be lost on foreign and future gazers, a film’s ideological...

Lee Daniels tries very hard to become the next Steven Spielberg with The Butler, a 132-minute heartfelt, epic paean to the Civil Rights struggles of black Americans in the 20th century. The result is a film that is indeed convincingly earnest, yet intermittently clumsy in its attempt to shoehorn too much history into a family tale of survival, dysfunction, alcoholism, adultery, rebellion, and disco dancing -- or vice versa.

While consistently intelligent, it's at times a bit crass, wearing its integrity on its sleeve. Yes, inarguably hard-hitting and appropriately horrific, the movie is also exploitative with its endless, often jarring parade of star cameos. I mean, Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower? Now really.

The wanting-to-have-it-all screenplay by Danny Strong is a fictional takeoff 'inspired' by a 2008 article in The Washington Post: "A Butler Well Served by This Election." The piece, scribed by Wil Haywood upon Obama's election, focused on...

Mohsen Makhmalbaf calmly announces early in The Gardener that he does not belong to any religion, and is instead an agnostic filmmaker. Now in his mid-50s, the Iranian former fundamentalist—long since disillusioned, even living in exile since Ahmadinejad assumed power—has come to film the gardens within the world's center for the Bahá'í faith, located in Haifa, Israel. His embittered adult son, Maysam, also a filmmaker, accompanies him while declaring that religion has caused humanity nothing but trouble. Father and son strike a deal: Each filmmaker will record the other, as Mohsen seeks to capture the good in this place and Maysam the bad. Both men go on to meet believers who explain how the Bahá'í (the largest religious minority in Iran ...

Colin Farrell plays a brutal serial killer with possible supernatural powers in Solace, due out next year, but on Monday, Aug. 5, he was all cuddles and sweetness while enjoying a day at the beach with his son Henry. The 37-year-old dad was photographed looking incredibly fit and perfectly tanned in Malibu as he held his adorable 3-year-old after playing in the surf. (Henry's mom is ex-girlfriend Alicja Bachleda. Farrell is also father to 9-year-old James with ex-girlfriend Kim Bordenave.) Father and son sported matching wet hair, but [...]...

Turkish director Erdem Tepegöz’s social drama The Particle (Zerre) has won the Golden George for Best Film at the 35th Moscow International Film Festival (Miff).

The film’s lead actress, Jale Arikan, also picked up the Best Actress Silver George for her performance as Zeynep, trying to make ends meet in the dusty and dim atmosphere of abandoned apartments evacuated for clearance.

The International Jury under the presidency of Iranian film-maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf awarded the Silver George for Best Director to South Korea’s Jung Young-Heon for Lebanon Emotion (Le-Ba-Non Kam-Jeong).

The Best Actor prize went to Russia’s Alexey Shevchenkov for his title role as Judas in Andrey Bogatyryov’s Judas (Iuda).

The Special Jury award went to The Ravine Of Goodbye (Sayonara Keikoku) by Japan’s Tatsushi Omori.

The Documentary Competition jury - which included Claas Danielsen, director of Dok Leipzig - gave its award to Poland’s Pawel Lozinski for Father And Son (Ojciec...

Okay, so everyone knows that Tom Cruise is vertically challenged and wears lifts in his shoes. But T.C. isn’t the exception in Hollywood — most male movie stars are downright lilliputian (perspective? Clooney’s considered a giant and he barely clears 5’10″). From Kevin Hart to Robert Downey Jr., these celebs prove that fabulous things come in small packages.

Writer-director Paul Andrew Williams's Unfinished Song is a full-frontal attack on its audience's tear ducts. Shamelessly manipulative, it's a highly effective if not very good film, its success entirely due to the talents of its cast. They bring heart to a script that is unabashedly about pushing buttons. Vanessa Redgrave plays Marion, an elderly woman fighting cancer as her gruff husband, Arthur (Terence Stamp), and adoring son, James (Christopher Eccleston), struggle to come to terms with her impending death. Father and son have an icy relationship that pains her. But all is not gloom. Marion sings in a multiculti choir of senior citizens rendered cutesy in that time-honored silver-screen way; they're both harmlessly raunchy and puppy-dog lovable. Their earnest, unlucky-in-lo...
