A grueling two-pedal route to the Grand Canyon just might provide the course-correction male juvenile offenders need in “Hard Miles.” With Matthew Modine as their teacher-coach, this fact-inspired tale covers familiar redemptive sports drama terrain. But it’s traveled with affectingly understated assurance by director R.J. Daniel Hanna (“Miss Virginia”) and a strong cast, making for a satisfying scenic ride that picked up several festival audience awards last year.
In a film loosely based on the life and work of his character’s offscreen namesake, Modine plays avid cyclist Greg Townsend, welding instructor at a medium-security correctional residential school in Colorado. That job environment is no picnic, given volatile students who can go from bantering to insults to fistfights in a flash. Plus he’s got his own demons to wrestle with — there are flashbacks to an abused childhood, and phone calls from an incarcerated brother keep urging Greg to...

Carey Mulligan says she’d love to star in a rom-com with Adam Sandler following their work together in the new Johan Renck-directed Netflix drama “Spaceman.”
“The Wedding Singer’ is one of my favorite movies, ‘50 First Dates,’ everything he’s done with Jennifer Aniston, I am there for it,” Mulligan told me at the “Spaceman” premiere Monday night at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. “We have to do a rom-com 100 percent!”
And she’s already got the pitch – sort of: “We have to pick the location first where we want to have a really nice holiday and then build the story around that.”
Sandler stars in “Spaceman” as an astronaut on a solo, year-long mission in space. As he comes to realize that his marriage is in trouble (Mulligan plays his wife), he also starts seeing and talking to a giant spider (voiced by Paul Dano) that suddenly appears on his ship.

What Sets Us Free? New German Cinema is now showing on Mubi in most countries.The All-Round Reduced Personality.In September 1968, filmmaker Helke Sander delivered a spirited speech to the men of the powerful Socialist German Student Association (Sds). She demanded equal rights for women in all matters. How could women bring their perspective to political discourse when they were expected to organize the private lives of revolutionaries and raise the children? When she confronted the progressive men of the Sds with their sexism, Sander earned derisive laughter. The 1960s and 1970s were a time of upheaval and rebellion in Germany, but the male heroes of the anti-authoritarian student revolt had no interest in challenging their patriarchal dominance. As they fought against the established institutions with teach-ins, happenings and street protests, their wives, girlfriends, and lovers resisted male chauvinism at all levels of society. Film became an important means of...

New York, May 9 (Ians) An Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool has successfully identified people at the highest risk for pancreatic cancer up to three years before diagnosis using solely the patients’ medical records, according to a new research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world, and its toll is projected to increase.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Medicine, suggest that AI-based population screening could be valuable in finding those at elevated risk for the disease and could expedite the diagnosis of a condition found all too often at advanced stages when treatment is less effective and outcomes are dismal.
Currently, there are no population-based tools to screen broadly for pancreatic cancer. Those with a family history and certain genetic mutations that predispose them to pancreatic cancer are screened in a targeted fashion. But such targeted screenings can miss other cases that fall outside of those categories,...

Jazz Jennings, star of TLC’s I Am Jazz wants to make something perfectly clear: she has zero regrets about being a woman.
Jennings was one of the youngest individuals to transition from male to female and her journey and life has been documented in her I Am Jazz series. Now in college, Jennings said she still deals with misinformation and false narratives about her life, mainly from right-wing hosts.
For the first time in two years, Jennings posted a YouTube, clarifying that she is happy with who she is and that any anxiety she expressed on I Am Jazz had nothing to do with her transition.
Jazz Jennings is being misgendered and falsely accused of regretting her transition
Joined by her brother Sander, Jennings read headlines that insisted she regrets her transition. One article repeatedly referred to Jennings using he/him/his pronouns. “Don’t misgender me,” she said in her YouTube video.
