In “A Man Called Otto,” Tom Hanks plays one of those loners who never misses an opportunity to vent his spleen. Giving everyone a hard time is what gets him through the day; You might call it his hobby. Reporting from Variety, Friday (30/12/2022), from Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol” to Alan Arkin in “Little Miss Sunshine”, we have seen people like this many times before. But with the right actors and the right script, it's a formula for yocks (and for gently rediscovered humanity) that never leaves the audience bored – and Hanks, make no mistake, is the perfect actor for this role. Over the years, when he was America's top film star, Hanks was routinely portrayed as our very own James Stewart, the gentleman-next-door soul, but going back to his earliest appearances in films like “Bachelor Party” Hanks always had an edge to him. That's why his kindness never cloying. (James Stewart has an edge too. All the big stars do too.) The opening scene of "A Man Called Otto"...

We’re about to get a new entry into the genre’s echelon: M3GAN, so whether you’re after its release date, trailer, cast, ...

 Cristian Mungiu has been a leading light in the so-called Romanian New Wave, a breakthrough in national cinema over the past ten years or so. The director’s work, including Graduation, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, and Tales From The Golden Age, has earned him countless awards, including a Palme D’Or, Best Screenplay, and Best Director awards from Cannes. Mungiu’s thoughtful, low-key, mildly satiric films do not aim at international appeal. Instead, they find universal themes in stories focused on his home country and its problems, and his latest feature is no exception. R.M.N. is the acronym used for Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI in the Romanian language, and the film is intended as a diagnostic scan of certain problems that lurk beneath the surface of Romanian society.  The story takes place in a small town in the province of Transylvania, present-day but placed a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic to avoid complicating the plot with quarantine restrictions. It op...

 Pinocchio, a classic tale of the wooden doll made by the old carpenter Geppetto, loves to lie until his nose grows longer, what child (or was once a child) did not know him? In the cold hands of director Guillermo Del Toro, who is known for making dark mystery or horror films, the figure of Pinocchio is very different from what we know so far in Disney story books or animated films. The story is set in Benito Mussolini's Italy, where life was not easy. Boys are sent to fight, including Pino who is a wooden puppet Geppetto fashioned to replace his dead son, Carlo. Here, the different aura is really felt from those made by Disney and the sweet fairy tale books that we enjoyed when we were little. Pinocchio is not shown wearing colorful clothes or funny hats, but rather frail and without a doll's clothes. There is no funny Jiminy Cricket, the name of the cricket who is the narrator throughout this story is Sebastian, who seems serious even though sometimes he is humorous plus mak...

 Director James Cameron revealed his greatest inspiration when creating underwater life for the film Avatar 2: The Way of Water. James said most of the marine animals that were there were inspired by his experience when he entered the Twilight Zone or a zone that is 700-3,280 feet deep in the water. This zone, which has another name Mesopelagic Zone, is very dark because it never gets access to direct sunlight. My biggest inspiration comes from nature itself, from the thousands of hours I spent in the water, observing the oceans, their ecosystems, from the coral reefs to the colors," said James when talking to Dailyrelaxshows.com recently. James Cameron then explained that many interesting marine life actually live in the Twilight Zone. Due to the depth of the water that cannot be reached without advanced technology, the animals in the Twilight Zone are rarely exposed to the world. "You have to know that there are many extraordinary creatures that live in there, especially i...

 There are several interesting characters from Marvel Comics that Henry Cavill could play if he later joins the Marvel cinematic universe. Most of these characters are debutants or have never appeared before in a live action version. And even the fans, especially the MCU fans, might really look forward to Cavill's appearance when playing his character.

  it is too difficult to describe Avatar: The Way of Water or Avatar 2 in a few words. Director James Cameron has proven his love of cinema in his latest film — with a feat of jaw-dropping visuals, painstaking direction and an epic cinematic experience. Set a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water tells the story of the Sully family — consisting of Jake (played by Sam Worthington), Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana), and their children Neteyam (played by Jamie Flatters). ), Lo'ak (played by Britain Dalton), Kiri (played by Sigourney Weaver), and Tuk (played by Trinity Bliss). Departing from these familiar characters, the audience is invited to see the problems that follow them, how far they try to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they experience. They must fight against the People of the Sky — corrupt military criminals who are now fighting to colonize Pandora so that Earthlings can have a future. This gang is s...

 Avatar: The Way of Water has been shown in all cinemas in Indonesia. Avatar 2 is shown in HFR format, what is that? HFR stands for High Frame Rate. The frame rate itself is how many frames are displayed in one second from a movies , TV show , or video game . Reported by Mashable, for about the past century, cinema films have been projected at 24 frames per second. However, in recent years, several films have decided to experiment a bit with the enhanced format. Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy and Ang Lee's Gemini Man both offered HFR playback (much higher than 24fps) during their theatrical runs. As you can see in the Gemini Bathing clip below, the image features a more "realistic" visual texture. Everything is so seamless, it's as if the actors are in the room with you. It's just that a lot of people don't like HFR, for various reasons. First, most people are not used to it. Second, and perhaps more importantly, watching something at 120fps (in the...

 James Gunn was appointed as one of the bosses of DC Studio, at the end of October 2022. This is in line with major changes following the merger of Warner Bros. With Discovery, DC's booth has also changed. James Gunn had shocked the public, considering that he was previously known as the director of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy films. In The DC Extended Universe (DCEU), James Gunn is directing The Suicide Squad (2021). It is estimated that the DCEU, which was started by Zack Snyder, will end with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which will be broadcast in December 2023.

However, DCEU products seem to invite a lot of criticism and unsatisfactory results, while Marvel is growing with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. James Gunn and producer Peter Safran as well as DC Studios will be in charge of DC films, television series a...

 The first responses to Avatar: The Way of Water have emerged online after the film’s world premiere in London on Tuesday. Full reviews of James Cameron’s long-in-the-making sequel to his own record-box-office fantasy epic won’t be published until next Tuesday, as per the distributor’s embargo, but critics are posting short responses on social media. In the US, reactions have been largely positive. David Ehrlich, chief critic of Indiewire, said it was “light years better than the first & easily one of the best theatrical experiences in ages. streaming found dead in a ditch”. He added: “I was, uh, not exactly champing at the bit for an Avatar 2 … now I can’t *wait* to see Avatar 3. that’s basically all I wanted out of this and it delivered in a big way.” The Atlantic’s David Sims said: “Avatar: The Way of Water absolutely owns bones,” adding: “It’s an Avatar movie: slow start, big build, incredibly involving second act with a ton of world building and cool creatures that blisses...

  Brendan Fraser plays an obese writing instructor reckoning with grief and regret in Darren Aronofsky’s latest film. Charlie is a college writing instructor who never leaves his apartment. He conducts his classes online, disabling his laptop camera so the students can’t see him. The movie camera, guided by Darren Aronofsky and his go-to cinematographer, Matthew Libatique, also stays indoors most of the time. Occasionally you get an exterior view of the drab low-rise building where Charlie lives, or a breath of fresh air on the landing outside his front door. But these respites only emphasize a pervasive sense of confinement. Based on a play by Samuel D. Hunter (who wrote the script), “The Whale” is an exercise in claustrophobia. Rather than open up a stage-bound text, as a less confident film director might, Aronofsky intensifies the stasis, the calamitous sense of stuckness that defines Charlie’s existence. Charlie is trapped — in his rooms, in a life that has run off the rails, ...

 Barely any continuations accompany more question marks — or higher stakes — than "Symbol: The Method of Water." James Cameron's spin-off comes 13 years after the first "Symbol" turned into the most noteworthy film ever (a record that has since been broken), and many have contemplated whether anybody actually thinks often about what occurs in the world Pandora. To make his spin-off, which is essentially set in the expanses of Pandora, Cameron needed to go through years growing new innovation that would permit him to film movement catch successions submerged. The significant expenses of doing that expanded the film's spending plan to where Cameron expects it should be one of the main five most elevated earning motion pictures ever to equal the initial investment. However, Cameron isn't worried about the film's capacity to track down a group of people. In a new meeting, he refered to the outcome of "Outsiders" and "Eliminator 2: Day of a...

 Christmas Day will soon arrive. Of course, the entertainment industry has prepared a variety of the latest films, especially shows with Christmas and New Year nuances to accompany and entertain people who are enjoying their holidays. One of the most famous Christmas movies is "Home Alone", which tells of a clever little boy who is able to set a trap for robbers who try to break into his house. This year, another new Christmas-themed film is coming to Indonesia, namely "Violent Night". Judging from the title, "Violent Night" or "Night of Violence" might not sound at all suitable for the feel of a joyful Christmas. However, this film is no less interesting than "Home Alone". "Violent Night" is an action comedy film starring David Harbour, John Leguizamo, Cam Gigandet and Alex Hassell. Almost the same as "Home Alone", this film also tells about a group of robbers who want to steal in a house belonging to a very wealthy...
