Taito Ban is the Japanese voice actor who lent his distinctive voice to Sung Jinwoo, the protagonist of the currently ongoing superhit series Solo Leveling. Originally from the Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan, Ban has been the voice behind multiple fan-favorite characters over the years before recently coming into fans’ eyes once again for his iconic voiceover of Jinwoo.

Of all the characters he has given his voice to date, Taito Ban has also played a role behind the mics for one of the biggest fan-favorite anime series ever. While most fans must be unaware of this, it is only true that Ban has been the voice behind none other than the Cocky Demon Slayer in the superhit Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime series.

Embarking on a journey through rose petals and heartbreaks, ‘The Bachelor’ series has woven itself into the cultural tapestry of America. It’s not just a show; it’s a phenomenon that has given us moments of romance, drama, and sometimes, the unexpected. As we stroll down memory lane, let’s revisit those iconic scenes that left an indelible mark on our hearts.

This year celebrates 25 years since the final year of the 1900’s. A year that brought about such classics as The Matrix, Fight Club, American Pie, and Office Space as well as my personal favorite movie of all time: Arlington Road. The year was so successful that 20 years later it would inspire a book titled Best Movie Year Ever.
With a vast cannon of films ranging from highly anticipated block busting prequels (Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace) to that years’ eventual Best Picture winner American Beauty and a movie that changed the meaning of twist endings forever (The Sixth Sense) 1999 truly was a year for the ages.
I will be honest, after compiling last weeks list for Best Movies from 1994 and now this list, I have to say 1994 was far more deserving of its own book! But that isn’t to say that 1999 doesn’t have a number of...

It’s a strange time for Agnieszka Holland. Green Border, the new film from the acclaimed Polish director — a three-time Oscar nominee — just celebrated the best opening for a Polish movie in cinemas this year with 137,000 admissions over its first weekend, according to local distributor Kino Świat. It’s particularly impressive given that the film, a black-and-white drama depicting the real-life plight of refugees stranded on the natural border between Poland and Belarus, can be a rough watch.
In late 2021, thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Africa were lured to the Polish border by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko, who cynically engineered a geopolitical crisis, promising migrants easy passage over the Polish border into the European Union. But the Polish government refused to let them in, leaving families stranded and starving in the swampy, treacherous forests between the two countries. Holland’s film intertwines the perspectives of the stranded refugees,...

There can be no doubt why Searchlight Pictures was excited to bring Flamin’ Hot, the true life story of the man known as the “godfather of Hispanic marketing,” to the screen. Premiering today at SXSW, the life story of Richard Montanez — a high school dropout from a struggling Latino family who worked as a janitor in a Southern California Frito-Lay factory for 10 years — is, at its heart, really a Rocky-style inspirational tale perfect for the Hollywood treatment. He eventually realized the American Dream and rose to one the highest ranks of the company,
In choosing Eva Longoria to make her directorial debut, they also have a budding filmmaker determined to make it authentic for the people it is about, not least in insisting and getting a largely Latino group of New Mexican actors, extras and artisans to bring it to life.

Of the many films playing at Cannes which have gained in resonance since the coming of the pandemic, “Zero F*cks Given” from French duo Julie Lecoustre, and Emmanuel Marre does not represent the creepiest, most alarming kind of coincidence — that description would better fit “Benedetta” from Dutch master Paul Verhoeven, which features an actual plague, face coverings and quarantine measures.

Netflix is adding six new titles this Tuesday, November 17th. It’s not one of the busiest days that the streamer has ever had, but there are still a handful of fresh movies and TV shows coming our way. And among them is a new comedy special, a family-friendly animation and an Oscar-nominated film.
There are four movies that just hit Netflix today. Ainu Mosir is a Japanese coming-of-age drama about a 14-year-old boy who travels to a forest believed by his people to be a path to the dead, hoping to reunite with his deceased father. 2017 documentary Whose Streets?, meanwhile, which is even more timely and frightening now than it was a few years ago, is an unflinching look at how the people of Ferguson, Missouri reacted following the murder of black teen Mike Brown by a white police officer.
