Back in March I had the great pleasure of attending the Miami Dade College’s Miami International Film Festival, a world-class event with an incredible program, enriching industry events, and outstanding parties as they could only happen in Miami. But the festival doesn't only shine in the spring, its permanent fall event is yet another film lovers haven and was created to whet Festivalgoers' appetites for next year’s 33rd edition running March 4-13, 2016.The lineup for this event, appropriately titled Gems 2015, was announced this morning
Taking place over four days (October 22 – 25, 2015), Gems will premiere highly acclaimed films from Cannes, Berlin & Sundance; Oscar hopefuls; and international box office sensations from the U.S., Spain, Chile, Italy, France, Colombia, and many others. Mdc's Tower Theater Miami will serve as the exclusive venue for all screenings and seminars. Note that this is the only major film festival worldwide produced by a college or university.
Gems will open with director John Crowley’s "Brooklyn," which premiered at Sundance back in January and stars Oscar-nominates actress Saoirse Ronan. The festival will close with Warner Bros' anticipated "The 33" starring Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche, Rodrigo Santoro, Cate Del Castillo, Mario Casas and Lou Diamond Phillips.
The Festival’s Executive Director & Director of Programming Jaie Laplante states, “Film festivals are dazzling times, when the shiniest lights of the current cinema are collected in one place for a concentrated moment. So it is with this year's Gems selection, and I invite film lovers of all types to experience las joyas de la corona of the season."
The Gems film slate includes:
1. "Brooklyn" (USA / Ireland), directed by John Crowley *Opening Night Film
Adapted by Nick Hornby ("An Education") from the Colm Toibin bestselling novel, this 1950s story follows the life of a young Irish woman caught between tradition and passion, between two countries and two futures. Starring Oscar nominee for Atonement, Saoirse Ronan, the cast also includes Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, Emory Cohen, and Domhnall Gleason.
2. "The 33" (USA / Chile), directed by Patricia Riggen *Closing Night Film
An international rescue effort to save 33 Chilean miners trapped 2,300 foot underground for 69 days in the Copiapó mine riveted over a billion people in 2010, and now a superb international film adaptation recreates the details of that unprecedented event. The epic list of cast names includes Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche and Rodrigo Santoro.
3. "The Assassin" (Taiwan), directed by Hou Hsiao-Hsien *Winner of the Best Director Award at Cannes 2015
In 9th century China, 10-year-old Nie Yinniang is abducted by a nun who transforms her into an impressive warrior. One day, she is sent back to the land of her birth, with orders to kill the man whom she was promised, and Nie Yinniang must choose: assassinate the man she loves or break forever from the scared honor of her training.
4. "The Club" (El club) (Chile), directed by Pablo Larraín
Director Pablo Larraín's follow-up to his global success and Oscar-nominated "No," (starring Gael Garcia Bernal), is a tough, scathing and psychologically sobering indictment on the Catholic Church's handling of moral failings within the institution.
5. "Embrace of the Serpent" (El abrazo de la serpiente) (Colombia), directed by Ciro Guerra *Winner of the Top Directors' Fortnight Award at Cannes 2015
Guerra’s previous film, "The Wind Journeys" (2009), was an international hit and one of the 2010 Festival's most popular films in Miami. For his new film, Guerra travels deep into the wilds of the Amazon jungle, and into the dangerous territory of the historical past. This is an epic and thrilling journey, capped with velvety, rich black & white cinematography, confirming Guerra's status as one of Latin America's most confident talents.
6. "Havana Motor Club" (USA / Cuba), directed by Bent-Jorgen Perlmutt
One of the most fascinating events of Miami International Film Festival in 2014 was filmmaker Bent-Jorgen Perlmutt's special presentation on his creative process in constructing his portrait of Cuba's top underground drag racers of classic American cars. A year later, the film is now complete, and Gems is delighted to bring Perlmutt back to Miami to share the finished work.
7. "It’s Now or Never" (Ahora o nunca) (Spain), directed by Maria Ripoll
This summer's biggest homegrown box office hit in Spain, It's Now or Never pairs Spain's newest film star, Dani Rovira, whose charms help propel "Spanish Affair" (Ocho apellidos vascos) to become Spain's all-time box office champion, with the luminous Goya winner María Valverde, who gets a rare opportunity to demonstrate her comedic gifts. The result is a frothy, frisky comedy of first-class creative power, expertly timed and filled with joyous performances, from the leads to the delightful character actors found in even the smallest roles. Clara Largo and Alicia Rubio co-star in this comedy that once again proves no one does inspired silliness quite like the Spanish.
8. "Krisha" (USA), directed by Trey Edward Shults
Winner of both the Grand Jury Price and the Audience Award at SXSW earlier this year, Trey Edward Shults’ highly personal and compelling hypnotic drama was also selected at this year’s Critics Week in Cannes. Shults has already drawn comparisons to the work of legendary American independent director John Cassavetes for their use of family members in the cast and also their maverick avant-garde style of shooting favoring characters and scenes that envelop the viewer in both observation and emotion.
9. "Mia Madre" (Italy), directed by Nanni Moretti
Nanni Moretti’s "Mia Madre" is possibly his most personal film, and a master class on autobiographical cinema. It displays without question why Moretti is considered one of the most skilled living filmmakers to create powerful universal drama out of our smallest little big tragedies. John Turturro co-stars.
10. "My Golden Days" (France), directed by Arnaud Desplechin *Winner of Directors Fortnight Award at Cannes 2015
After years working abroad, anthropologist Paul Dedalus (Mathieu Amalric) returns to France to find an explosive emotional time bomb awaits him. This epic coming of age tale portrays first love as a candid, sensual and unique experience that his alter-ego discovers could leave a mark that will last as long as life itself.
11. "A Perfect Day" (Spain), directed by Fernando León de Aranoa.
Spanish director Fernando León de Aranoa makes his first English language film with this Cannes-debuting tale of 24 hours in the lives of two veteran humanitarian aid workers in the waning days of the 1995 Balkan War. Veteran Hollywood stars Benicio del Toro and Tim Robbins are in fine form as the leads, who hold on to their boyish charms even as they age with graceful wisdom.
12. "Trash" (U.K. / Brazil), directed by Stephen Daldry. *Special Gems Preview Night on October 5, 2015.
Three-time Best Director Oscar nominee Stephen Daldry ("Billy Elliott," "The Hours," "The Reader") delivers the soaring triumphs of his earlier successes, while shining a spotlight on the sobering challenges facing one of the world's most closely-watched cities, Rio de Janeiro. The high-powered cast includes Brazilian superstars Wagner Moura ("Elite Squad") and Selton Mello ("Jean Charles," "The Clown"), as well as Martin Sheen and Rooney Mara.
13. "Yona" (Israel), directed by Nir Bergman
Like a "living thunderbolt", the bold and nonconformist Yona Wallach stormed through Tel-Aviv's male-dominated political and poetry circles in the 1960s. Yona’s work eventually became recognized in the most prominent literary books and magazines of her time, and she was honored with the Israeli Prime Minister’s Literary Award in 1978. Director Nir Bergman’s biopic vividly captures Yona’s highs, lows and her brave rebellion against a chauvinistic society with her unique voice.
14. "Youth" (Italy), directed by Paolo Sorrentino
The space (and communion) between the generations is the subject of Paolo Sorrentino's newest Fellini-tinged masterpiece. Coming off his 2014 Oscar win for Best Foreign Language Film for "The Great Beauty," the Italian auteur is on a roll, orchestrating grand themes around life's wisdom with a phenomenal cast of actors including Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz, and Jane Fonda.
In addition to Gems slate of premieres, the festival will be hosting a heartfelt special Master Class Tribute to the late James Horner. Known as Hollywood’s ultimate movie composer, he passed away in an aircraft accident this past June, not long after completing what would turn out to be one of his final great scores – the music for Patricia Riggen’s "The 33." On the eve of the premiere of the film Miami-based feature film composer Carlos Rafael Rivera ( "A Walk Among The Tombstones," 2014) will take an in-depth look at Horner’s work and career, using cues to demonstrate the powerful, yet often subtle, creative influence Horner brought to specific scenes and entire films.
Tickets will go on sale to Miami Film Society members exclusively on Friday, September 25, 2015 and to the general public on Thursday, October 1, 2015. Tickets: 1-844-565-6433(Miff) or www.miamifilmfestival.com/Gems.

They say when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. So when fortune and circumstance result in several hands either recovering from injury or shooting their latest role in a movie no one will ever see, you center storylines around CW superstars and vicious valets.

Well, presumably, that little $45.2 billion merger with Time Warner Cable might also occupy some corporate attention, but Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said his company will focus on rolling out its prized X1 entertainment delivery platform and related Xfinity service. “Our priority this year is rolling out X1,” Roberts told attendees at the Code Conference today in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. “It’s a game-changer, and the reason it’s such a game-changer is that we’re taking the guts of what we do and putting it in the cloud. The stinking cable box is the wrong platform. The moment we leave that box in your household, it begins to become obsolete.” Related: Comcast’s Brian Roberts: It Was “Now or Never” on Time Warner Cable Deal The X1 platform delivers all the Comcast-provided TV shows, movies and other content not just to a TV but also to customers’ cell phones and tablets.

I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But you’d think The Hollywood Reporter would get sick of following Deadline’s lead. Of course we scoop the news first. But here’s another case in point: back in August, I posted Lance Armstrong Biopic: Now Or Never? when he was about to be banned from cycling for life by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. So I wrote: “Did Hollywood miss its chance to tell a fascinating hero’s story? Or is there now an even more complex and interesting saga? His ending is not neat and tidy: rather, it’s messy and sad. It also should be a movie, albeit a different one from first envisioned by Sony Pictures.” THR did the same antihero story today – 3 months later.

Tonight, the CW aired two new episodes of The L.A. Complex. I'll tackle "Make it Right" first.
This was a great episode for most of the characters, but I especially loved (unsurprisingly) Kal, Connor and Raquel. Even Abby, who hung on to the coattails of the Kal/Tariq storyline, was completely likable this week.
Let's start with Connor. If him talking to that street Scientologist with Raquel earlier this season was dipping his toe in the water, here he's jumping in and he has to start with a personality test.
I loved the questions he was asked, most of it making him reflective of his current state of depression, but a number of inquiries just completely odd (corporal punishment?!).

This was a great episode for most of the characters, but I especially loved (unsurprisingly) Kal, Connor and Raquel. Even Abby, who hung on to the coattails of the Kal/Tariq storyline, was completely likable this week.
Let's start with Connor. If him talking to that street Scientologist with Raquel earlier this season was dipping his toe in the water, here he's jumping in and he has to start with a personality test.
I loved the questions he was asked, most of it making him reflective of his current state of depression, but a number of inquiries just completely odd (corporal punishment?!). Granted, I'm not a Scientologist, but I have done some reading on the subject and am vastly interested in any take on how it all works.

Brian McFadden saved Justin Bieber from a fan who stormed the stage during his performance on Australia's Got Talent. Amilia Radevska bypassed increased security and approached the singer at the end of his appearance on the show, according to Herald Sun. Radevska is said to have kicked and shouted "stop it Brian", and was then restrained by McFadden while host Grant Denyer interviewed Bieber. "I was looking around and saw a crack in security and thought 'Now or never," 14-year-old Radevska said. "He told me he loved me and it was all okay before I was dragged away." It (more)...

Ziva reached a breaking point with Ray, who returned this week on "NCIS" (Tue., 8 p.m. Est on CBS). After leaving her at a restaurant, she decided that she was done with him. But playing on the emotional connection he still knew was there, Ray had one more surprise up his sleeve.
Moments after she told him it was too late and walked away from him, he dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring. "I love you. Now or never, Ziva David," he pleaded. "Will you marry me?"
She didn't have an answer for him, instead pulling him to his feet. She didn't say yes, but more importantly for Ray, she didn't say not. Luckily, she didn't decide to run off an elope him, as the second surprise regarding Ray was that he was the ultimate target of this week's investigation.

Spoiler Alert: Stop reading if you haven’t watched the Sept. 1 mid-season finale of ‘Degrassi!’ You’ve been warned…
Ok, first of all, how incredible was the Degrassi: Now or Never finale?! I was fortunate enough to be on set the day they filmed it, and I’m pretty sure my ears are still ringing from Vince’s (Brendan Jeffers) gunshot. I also got to hold the bullet that ultimately found its way into poor Adam (Jordan Todosey), before grilling the actress on what it’s like to play a transgender character — and where she’d like to see Adam go from here…
Munro, Aislinn & Justin weigh in on Cake V. Eclare Justin Kelly & Chloe Rose on their new characters Munro Chambers tells us what scares Eli in season 11

Rick Ross and Teairra Mari have each debuted a new music video almost at the same time. The Maybach Music rapper premieres a clip for his single "9 Piece", and the Roc-a-fella R&B singer releases visuals for her own track "Pum Pum Shorts".
Rick shares screen with his high-profile featured guest Lil Wayne. They orchestrate a narcotics high-tech transaction in the video. Meanwhile, Teairra takes her collaborators Mr. Vegas and Gyptian to the rooftop and shakes her rump to the dancehall jam.
"9 Piece" appears in Rick's 2011 street album "Ashes to Ashes". It originally featured T.I., but Rick added Weezy to a new version of the song this past April. "Pum Shorts" is also a mixtape track. A remix of Mr. Vegas' song, it is listed in Teairra's "Now or Never".

Is Celebrity Apprentice missing that life-and death edge? Craving more insect buffets when you watch The Voice? Your wishes may soon be granted – NBC is bringing thrill-seeking reality game show Fear Factor back to primetime.
NBC’s non-scripted head honcho Paul Teledgy gave the continuously high ratings for Fear Factor reruns on cable channel Chiller as the primary justification for the series’ return. The executive cited the show’s sense of spectacle and brand recognition as major bonuses in the decision.
Fear Factor was based on a Dutch show called Now or Never-land. When NBC imported the format to the States in 2001, it enlisted comedian Joe Rogan as the host – fresh off the end of the station’s sitcom NewsRadio. The show’s three-act format became a quick hit ...

Heading into its 18th year in 2011, the Chicago Underground Film Festival is the longest-running underground film festival in the world. It used to be tied with the New York Underground Film Festival — both were started in 1994 — until Nyuff closed up shop in 2008.
In 1994, the Internet wasn’t the big promotional tool it is today so neither Nyuff nor Cuff that year had a website; or, if they did, those pages have since vanished off the web. So, details about what these fests screened in their first years have been sketchy. Well, until now for Cuff.
I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it, but I recently discovered that the alternative newsweekly the Chicago Reader had posted up the entire, full lineup of the first annual Chicago Underground Film Festival.

A remake of the 2000 German production “Now or Never”, the film was directed by Kang Ho Jin, who previously challenged gender roles with the fighting housewife drama “Punch Lady”. Thankfully, the film is far more entertaining than it’s potentially cringe worthy concept might suggest, and is a surprisingly engaging mixture of laughs and excitement. The film follows Jung Ja (Na Moon Hee), Young Hee (Kim Soo Mi), and Shin Ja (Kim Hye Ok), three grandmothers who have all fallen on difficult times due variously to uncaring children, financial troubles and ill health. To keep them going, the three have...

I have a very unusual love-hate relationship with movies that tackle the trials and tribulations associated with growing old. Although I’m not necessarily worried about what my life will be like when I’m wrinkled, senile, and clinically demented, I don’t like to spend a lot of time watching motion pictures that dwell on such depressing topics. Facing one’s own mortality is never a pleasant experience, especially when you’re still several decades away from drawing Social Security and taking full advantage of the Senior Citizens discount at McDonald’s. Ironically, I am a pretty big fan of of such “Steel Magnolias”, “Grumpy Old Men”, and “The Golden Girls”. Feel free to make of that what you will. Writer/director Kang Hyo-jin’s clever heist comedy “Revolver Gangsters’ Gang” (aka “Twilight Gangsters”) is a remake of Lars Buchel’s “Now or Never”, a German film about three...

The regular TV season has come to a close and while some finales have got us talking more than others (like that heartbreaking and awesome "House" ep), we still have a lot to say, so this week, we've selected a few series and will compare their 2010 season ender to their 2009 season ender.
We'll tell you which hour we feel was better, but we'll also have you vote on which one you think was tops.
So, without further ado, "Grey's Anatomy"...
"Here's To Future Days"/"Now or Never" (2009): Bailey got the pediatrics fellowship, but her husband told her if she accepted it, he would leave her. Bailey asked Richard if there were still spots in general surgery -- she left her husband, but was unsure if she could handle the new fellowship while dealing with the dissolution of her marriage.
Derek and Meredith were inspired by Alex and Izzie and...

Welcome to Part 2 of our 1999 Movie Retrospective. The final year of the last century was one hell of a cinematic ride and it offered some outstanding films for lovers of cinema.
Now be aware that this is not a definitive list of the films released - it’s a brief rundown highlighting interesting films that should be seen (although not always for the right reasons).
You can check out the first part (A-e) here or continue reading to see the other gems that were released in 1999.
Fight Club
Fight Club was a box office disappointment ten years ago, but it has gained a Huge cult following since - and it must have made an absolute mint on DVD. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton star in this David Fincher directed adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s now-famous novel. The film is another example of world perspective from a late 90s view point.

Box Office
Harry Potter cast another spell over the box office this weekend. The boy wizard should conjure up an impressive $160 million since his debut last Wednesday. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince looks to be another impressive money-spinner for Warner Bros., who delayed the film from its original November 2008 release after The Dark Knight hit big last summer. What’s more impressive is the popularity and quality of this franchise. Few film series make it to number six without losing box office or creative standards, but the Harry Potter films are keeping audiences happy. And with only two more on the way,...

Note: This is not news of Paul Verhoeven (Starship Troopers, Basic Instinct, Total Recall) being hired to take over the directing reigns of the upcoming Bruce Willis sci-fi actioner Surrogates. Rather this is news about Verhoeven’s next movie, which is an adaptation of a book called The Surrogate.
Again - The Surrogate, singular, not plural.
Verhoeven will direct The Surrogate for 20th Century Fox. It’s a contemporary thriller which is based on a 2004 novel by Kathryn Mackel. To put the overall story of the book quite simply, it’s about a couple who discover that the young college girl they have hired to carry their baby is insane. Yeah… that would be a bit of a problem. For a better feel of the story, here’s the official description from the novel:
“Kyle and Bethany Dolan reel from years of infertility, miscarriages, and finally, a disastrous hysterectomy. They...
