A pair of naive young girls learn that even the most insignificant actions can have lasting consequences. Influenced by the hip-hop thug lifestyle and seeking to explore life outside of their insulated, culturally homogenized suburb, pretty young teenagers Allison and Emily set their sights on East L.A. To experience the 'gangsta' lifestyle firsthand. By the time the pair meet a ruthless Mexican drug dealer named Hector, some true-life Latino gang-bangers, and realize just how far out of their element they really are, it may already be too late to turn back. Words cannot express how much I hated this movie. I hated every aspect of it, from the direction to the writing to the acting. ![]() Past festival. Holiday Havoc 2017 in Las Vegas. Dec 2017 line-up with Rise Against, Portugal. The Man, and Royal Blood. Havoc is the story of one teenager's (Anne Hathaway) exploration of a world outside that which she is accustomed. And that's putting it in a way that gives this movie more credit than it deserves. ![]() Hathaway's character is part of a 'gang' of white, upper-class high-schoolers who backlash at their upbringing by emulated black culture. She and her friends eventually decide to take a trip to East L.A., and no hilarity ensues. I decided to watch this movie for two reasons: Stephen Gaghan had a hand in it; and Anne Hathaway, who I have always found enjoyable to watch, was starring in it. I'll begin my criticism with the writing. After finally viewing the movie, I can honestly say that I found nothing that resembles Stephen Gaghan in the script. Vapid is the only word I can think of to describe the thoughts and ideas of this movie. It is one of the those movies that tries so hard to make a social comment, yet fails so miserably. The characters are all one-dimensional, especially Toby (Mike Vogel), the wigger boyfriend of Hathaway's character Allison. His actions are so broad and exaggerated, I had a hard time taking anything he, or anyone on screen at the time, did seriously. Finally, each character was written to be an example of a stereotype. I almost laughed when Hector (Freddy Rodriguez) tried to explain that not everything in East L.A. Was about gangs and drugs, then proceeded to fill every stereotype of a movie gang member. Each and every actor in this movie lost points in my book for being associated with this film. Even those I like and respect. Michael Biehn, Laura San Giacomo, Anne Hathaway and Bijou Phillips all have done serious, believable roles.

Enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing American Made near you. ENTER CITY, STATE OR ZIP CODE GO. Martha Stewart's American Made spotlights the maker, the DIYer, supports the local, and celebrates the handmade. Martha is selecting the next generation of American. In his best performances, often gives off the impression that he’s getting away with something. Whether it’s Frank T.J. Mackey in Magnolia or Maverick in Top Gun, the 55-year-old actor burrows deep into his characters’ ability to hustle, scam or charm all those around him. The men he portrays are almost always full of shit, but because it’s Cruise playing them, they’re also very fun company. There are many reasons he’s been a movie star for decades, but that might be among the most crucial: No matter how cocky or ridiculous he or his characters can be, we don’t mind being taken for a ride. The true-life drama American Made is powered by Cruise’s catch-me-if-you-can spirit, exuding a showy, impish disposition that’s sometimes grating but often enticing enough that we forgive its limitations. Aspiring to be Goodfellas but more closely aligned with American Hustle’s manic irreverence, the film has a doozy of a story to tell, and so naturally it would have been far more effective if it had simply told its story rather than endlessly marveling at its own madcap absurdity. And yet, Cruise buoys American Made’s flop-sweat intensity because he seems to understand his character’s desperate, ingratiating whirligig restlessness from the inside. This is that rare time that one of his slick charmers lets you see behind the curtain—and what a fascinating sight it is. Cruise plays Barry Seal, who from the late 1970s until the mid-1980s lived an incredible life—not that he could tell many people about it, mind you. A TWA pilot enjoying a lucrative side hustle by smuggling Cuban cigars along his commercial routes, he’s busted by Schafer (Domhnall Gleeson), a CIA agent who offers him an alternative to prison: do reconnaissance for the U.S. Government instead. Soon, Barry is zipping around under the guise of being the proprietor of a private-plane company, taking surveillance photos and, eventually, serving as a courier to America’s interests in the region. That would be enough excitement for most men, but the CIA doesn’t quite realize what they’ve unleashed, and once what will become the Medellin Cartel apprehends Barry and convinces him to transport drugs for them into the United States, it only ignites the man’s hunger for money and thrills. Barry talks to the camera through a series of camcorder-recorded confessionals, but these interludes don’t provide a peek into Seal’s rationale or philosophy. One of the elements of Cruise’s performance that’s so appealing is its commitment to render Barry as opaquely as possible. Always calm under pressure, always able to flash the pearly whites at the first sign of danger, Barry could be Jerry Maguire or Mission: Impossible’s Ethan Hunt if they had no shame or moral code. The whiff of decency that Cruise’s characters normally possess—or come to discover in themselves—can’t be detected in American Made, and the nakedness of the portrayal wouldn’t be so enticing if it wasn’t Cruise playing him. The bulletproof star we’re used to seeing in M:I and Jack Reacher is stretched and strained as Barry tries to juggle competing interests while facing myriad plot twists and shifting allegiances. American Made was directed by Doug Liman, who first worked with Cruise on the underrated action-thriller Edge of Tomorrow. ![]() They seem to encourage a risk-taking attitude in one other, and where Edge of Tomorrow was a playful, witty summer blockbuster, American Made consistently tries to puncture the self-importance of the crime-drama biopic by emphasizing the rollicking, life-or-death stakes of Seal’s everyday existence. Shooting on what’s meant to appear to be different film stocks and featuring a brazen collection of jukebox rock hits, the movie exudes some of the ironic, controlled experimentation of a film, playing like a bizarre combination of The Informant! The rampant self-consciousness of American Made’s too-good-to-be-true storytelling never settles down, but Liman lets the rambunctious energy and blatant cinematic borrowing swirl so passionately that you get caught up in his and Cruise’s fervor. Amidst the rush, though, American Made does try to provide commentary about America’s hypocritical drug wars and foreign policy during the ’80s, letting Seal’s incredible tale serve as our entry point into the world of Manuel Noriega, the Contras and the Sandinistas. Gleeson perhaps overdoes his portrayal of this hotshot CIA agent—apparently, most everything in American Made that’s worth doing is worth overdoing—but the movie’s good-times exuberance proves to be a bit of a feint, satirically echoing an era in which the United States treated its Southern neighbors as malleable participants in its impetuous, ill-advised adventures. ![]() ![]() Popsugar.com David Beckham Talks Vow Renewal With Victoria Jan. 2017| POPSUGAR.

More Reviews For all his rock-star swagger, Sol goes home to drink alone in front of the TV set in his luxury apartment. He’s divorced from Katy (Sam Sorbo), who resents his public exploitation of their son’s death — particularly since she and their surviving two sons (Shane Sorbo, Braeden Sorbo) remain steadfast Christians. Passing involvements with women like vapid Russian supermodel Vanessa (Olivia Fox) hardly assuage the spiritual emptiness he won’t cop to. Driving home drunk from his book launch party, he smashes into a wall, experiencing a vision (while clinically dead for four minutes) that finds him “going toward the light,” seeing his deceased son and being given the titular message by the latter. For all his far-reaching fame, Sol Harkins, the world's most famous atheist, is a lonely soul and a lousy part-time dad. After a near death experience challenges his simplest assumptions about this world, Sol finds his purpose and reimagines his life, in a film that will make you laugh and cry and want to stand up and cheer. At the 2017 Emmy Awards we asked the people responsible for making 'Peak TV': 'What is the last show you had a strong, emotional response to?' The answers ran the. Naturally, the media is very curious about his having had a near-death experience, and whether he saw any “other side.” But Sol’s agent (Daniel Roebuck) and publicist (Donielle Artese) are equally eager that he stay on message at a moment when he’s poised to become “the next Bill Maher” — and not undermine his entire public persona with an “Oops! There is a God after all” turnabout. But despite some resistance (as well as a lot of vodka), he cannot keep the “light” he’s seen from leaking out for long, endangering his career while significantly repairing relations with Katy and the boys. The script by the director’s co-star spouse (née Sam Jenkins) and veteran screen scribe Don Gordon lays it on pretty thick in various departments, particularly using her character as a holy scold in the first half and a smiling-through-tears heroine worthy of a 1930s weepie in the second. The latter element is ramped up via a melodramatic turn that is too much, but then “Let There Be Light” wasn’t built for subtlety. Sorbo’s confident direction does smooth over some of the excesses of rhetoric and contrivance, though he can’t do much with the ludicrous figure of “Pastor Vinny,” an ex-con who’s such a wiseguy cliche he actually says “bada-bing” — even if thesp Michael Franzese actually is the born-again offspring of a famous mobster. The eventual approach of on-screen Hannity is heralded by various characters parroting some of his usual talking about ISIS, and his wackier conspiracy-theorist side is presumably represented by the bizarre notion (supposedly Katy’s) of a phone app that somehow beams Christian messages from your cell phone into heathen hearts of darkness like Pakistan and North Korea. But he’s not the only celebrity shoehorned into the narrative: Dionne Warwick appears as herself in a wedding scene (performing one of the soundtrack’s several decent hiphop-flavored gospel pop tracks), while country star Travis Tritt appears as one of the world’s less likely oncologists. Performances are understandably variable, with denizens of the “secular” world encouraged to emphasize loud shallowness. While the elder Sorbos clearly enjoy working together, however pat the psychological dimensions here, their sons probably should have been given less screentime (and precocious dialogue) given a too-evident lack of acting experience. ![]() ![]() Jun 28, 2017.

Pottersville is a 2017 American comedy film directed by Seth Henrikson and written by Daniel Meyer. The film stars Michael Shannon, Judy Greer, Thomas Lennon, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks and Ian McShane. The film was released on November 10, 2017, by Echo Bridge. ![]() ![]() Here’s the only plausible explanation for “,” a nearly unwatchable — but inexplicably star-studded — new comedy which is making a brief pitstop in select theaters before spending the rest of eternity in the storage room of your local Walmart: A veteran producer at the Hallmark Channel was at the end of his rope (for the purposes of this hypothetical scenario, let’s pretend said producer was “Pottersville” director Seth Henrikson, whose sparse IMDb credits leave plenty to the imagination). Frustrated by a career spent churning out festive — and weirdly horny — shlock like “A Very Merry Mix-Up,” “Matchmaker Santa” (featuring Lacey Chabert), and “A Boyfriend for Christmas” (the story of an infatuated girl who wastes her 20s waiting for Santa Claus to come down her chimney), he finally broke. Some scholars argue that it was the 2007 Melissa Joan Hart / Mario Lopez vehicle “Holiday in Handcuffs” that pushed him over the edge; others maintain that he didn’t show signs of fatigue until 2014, when Hallmark aired a movie that’s literally called “.” Regardless, it became clear that something had to be done. So Henrikson —or the version of him that we’ve invented here — did what any tortured artist would do in that situation: He pitched his boss on an edgy Christmas movie, something that could meld Hallmark’s signature tone with some darker subject matter. Casual racism! It could still run deep with that ho-ho-holiday spirit, but with some furries thrown in for good measure. A warm and fuzzy comedy wrapped around a noxiously bitter sense of humor, the film’s premise would sell itself: “Miracle on 34th Street,” but instead of Santa Claus, it’s about Bigfoot. Read More: He was immediately fired. But then, a Christmas miracle: Destitute and alone, left with nothing but their yuletide vision, Henrickson drunkenly stumbled upon an abandoned USB drive behind the manger of a local church. On it he found a genuine treasure trove of blackmail, full of incriminating information about a random assortment of beloved character actors.! They were all there. And soon, they would all be gathered together in upstate New York, bringing the dream of “Pottersville” to life in exchange for their freedom. There’s really no other way to make sense of this madness. Historians may rationalize it as a means to an end, given the fact that the film was produced in conjunction with Utica’s SUNY Polytechnic Institute as part of a state tax scheme to build an upstate hub for film production, but such semantic details would only explain the incompetence on display if “Pottersville” had been written and directed by the local politicians behind the plan. And even then, maybe not. This doesn’t feel like a work of art that was arranged by carefully assembling a cast of willing professionals, that came together through mutually agreeable conversations with their agents. No, bad movies happen to good actors all the time, but “Pottersville” is something worse — not malevolent so much as utterly mystifying. It’s a movie that’s mere existence is infinitely more amusing than any of its jokes. It’s a movie that has zero sense of its own tone, and somehow even less of a handle on its relationship to the genre that it exists to parody and/or celebrate. It’s a movie that starts with the worst digital snow you’ve ever seen, and ends with someone earnestly saying the words: “You thought you had to become Bigfoot in order to save this town, but it turns out you saved it by just being you.” Read More. ![]() Mary Shelley.
