All Happy Families’ Review: Not All Indie Family Dramedies Are Alike

All Happy Families’ Review: Not All Indie Family Dramedies Are Alike

News
By Michael Nordine According To The Daily)  “All happy families are alike,” claims the immortal first sentence of Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina”; “each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” And while jaded viewers may opine that all indie dramedies about dysfunctional families in the “Little Miss Sunshine” or “The Squid and the Whale” mold are alike, writer-director Haroula Rose’s “All Happy Families” suggests the genre has moved in a more grounded direction. Whether that’s ultimately a better direction remains to be seen. The focal point of this particular family is Graham (Josh Radnor), an aspiring screenwriter/actor whose older brother Will (Rob Huebel) stars on a hugely popular (and seemingly terrible) TV series. As Will surprises Graham by flying from Los Ange...
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.’ Review: Eddie Murphy Works Hard to Act Game in a Sequel Made to Tickle Your Nostalgia

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.’ Review: Eddie Murphy Works Hard to Act Game in a Sequel Made to Tickle Your Nostalgia

News
By Owen Gleiberman According To The Daily) Nostalgia, when it comes to reviving an old movie series, can be axiomatic. Every so often you see a genuine great piece of nostalgia — like “Creed” or the 2009 “Star Trek” reboot or the 2014 “Godzilla.” But then there’s the kind of nostalgia represented by “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.” Plotted like a generic police-corruption thriller, lit with cruddy efficiency, pausing every 10 minutes or so for a “light” moment, the movie is no “Beverly Hills Cop.” But it’s better than the ballistic noise orgy that was “Beverly Hills Cop II” (1986) or the clunky retro mess of “Beverly Hills Cop III” (1994), so I guess we should be grateful. And I suspect that a lot of viewers who grew up in the ’80s will be. Let’s be clear, though, about the level of no...

News
By Zack Sharf According To The Daily) Marvel fans are expecting a ton of mind-blowing cameos in the upcoming “Deadpool and Wolverine,” but one returning X-Men actor has already been revealed: Aaron Stanford as Pyro. The actor popped up in the official “Deadpool and Wolverine” trailer, much to the delight of fans. Stanford debuted as John Allerdyce, aka the mutant Pyro, in 2003’s “X2: X-Men United” and reprised the role in 2006’s “X-Men: The Last Stand.” He’s now back after an 18-year break and “very happy” with the results. “I was just very happy to even have a costume,” Stanford said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly about his return as Pyro. “In the original ‘X-Men’ films, Pyro gets really shortchanged in terms of a costume.” “In ‘X2,’ we start off wi...

The Bear’ Season 3 Hits 5.4 Million Views in Four Days, Hulu’s Biggest Scripted TV Premiere Ever

News
By Selome Hailu             According To The Daily) The Season 3 premiere of “The Bear” reached 5.4 million views in its first four days of streaming, according to Disney. That marks not only the best performance ever for an FX premiere on Hulu, but the most-watched season premiere for any scripted series on Hulu. With unscripted series included, “The Bear” Season 3 is Hulu’s third-biggest season premiere of all time. (Note: a view is calculated by dividing the total time a title was watched by its runtime.) Additionally, Disney says this puts Season 3 of “The Bear” at 24% more views than the Season 2 premiere achieved in the same amount of time. That’s a second consecutive season of growth for “The Bear,” which reached surprise word-of-mouth success in Season 1 and...
Imagine Entertainment Enlists J.P. Morgan to Field Sale Offers

Imagine Entertainment Enlists J.P. Morgan to Field Sale Offers

News
By Cynthia Littleton According To The Daily) Imagine Entertainment is in the market for suitors again now that leaders Ron Howard and Brian Grazer have tapped J.P. Morgan to field incoming inquiries for the production company behind such distinctive hits as “A Beautiful Mind,” “Apollo 13,” “24” and “Friday Night Lights.” A representative for Imagine declined to comment Monday on a report in the Wall Street Journal on the hiring of J.P. Morgan. A rep for the investment bank did not immediately return a request for comment. A source close to the situation notes that the process is in the early stages and was prompted by incoming calls to Howard and Grazer. Imagine is one of the few sizable independent outfits that remain major players in film and TV. At a time of...
‘Real’ Review: Oleh Sentsov’s Ukrainian War Documentary Is Unplanned but Utterly Immersive

‘Real’ Review: Oleh Sentsov’s Ukrainian War Documentary Is Unplanned but Utterly Immersive

News
By Guy Lodge According To The Daily) A lot of great cinema is made by happy accidents: certain intangible chemistries and tricks of timing that can’t be calculated even by the most exacting auteur. In the considerably rarer case of “Real,” the whole film is an accident, and one more vital than happy. Shot inadvertently while director Oleh Sentsov — not working as a filmmaker, but as a lieutenant in the Ukrainian Defense Forces — was holed up with his unit during a perilous battle in the early days of the war against Russia, the film captures the horror and claustrophobia of trench warfare with an immediacy that no big-budget fictional combat movie could hope to match, all courtesy of a GoPro camera on Sentsov’s helmet that he accidentally turned on while checking his equi...
