‘A reminder that we can resist’: hard-hitting documentary takes aim at anti-trans rhetoric

-
Heightened Scutiny is a new film premiering at Sundance looking at the troubling rise in anti-trans legislation and the mainstream media outlets who have helped stoke the fire A new documentary at the Sundance film festival delves into the fight to preserve access to gender-affirming care for minors via the US supreme court, with a major decision due in June 2025, and details the mainstream media’s role in legitimizing anti-trans legislation. Heightened Scrutiny, directed by Sam Feder, argues that the fear-based ideology underlying bans on hormone therapy or puberty blockers for minors has been pushed not only by conservative activists but center-left publications such as the New York Times, the Atlantic and the Wall Street Journal, whose articles have fixated on surgery, potential regret or risks. As the film notes, such therapies, with the same side effects and risks, are prescribed for other conditions and only raise alarms when applied to trans youths, and the rate of “detransiti...

Zack Snyder’s Justice League wins an Oscar thanks to the public

-
The feature film won an Oscar for "Audience Favorite Moment" on Spider-Man: No way Home and Avengers: Endgame. Zack Snyder's Justice League has become a timeless movie. Since before its "birth," it was already a work that fans were crying out for from the very moment that Joss Whedon released his version of the film in 2017 after the person's departure in charge of Watchmen due to personal and family reasons. The DC Comics universe may have decided to reboot into the cinematic realm, but it's clear that Snyder's stamp is eternal. This year the audience at the 2022 Oscars was allowed to participate with a couple of prizes, and Snyder has been postulated as a filmmaker extremely loved by the stalls since both Army of the Dead and his Justice League have taken a statuette. The first is the most popular film, and the second receives the "Audience Favorite Moment" award for showing Flash's speed in the final stages of the film. That Flash moment has surpassed the meeting of the three Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the moment in which the Avengers meet to finish off Thanos in Endgame, one of the most relevant films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The most voted moments were the following: The Matrix (1999) - Neo dodging bullets Dreamgirls (2006) - Effie White singing "I'm Telling You." Avengers: Endgame (2019) - The Avengers unite to defeat Thanos Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland together. Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - Flash displays his maximum speed. Zack Snyder's stamp remains unique in the industry, and he is one of the few filmmakers who has a gigantic wave of haters and, at the same time, followers. His next project, Rebel Moon, will be released in 2023. The 2022 Oscars, as you well know, have been overshadowed by a slap that Will Smith has given to Chris Rock after the comic made a joke regarding the alopecia suffered by the wife of the protagonist of The Prince Bel-Air. The networks have caught fire, and the reasons why Smith reacted in this way have even been sought (the actor's support has had from other colleagues after starring at that moment has even been detailed ). It seems that Rock, for now, will not denounce Smith for the slap, but it is clear that the actor's career is now in check.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Exorcism review – Russell Crowe v the Devil in cursed horror about a cursed horror

-
The actor plays an actor struggling with a demonically bad film shoot in a well-made yet increasingly messy chiller Like many other dethroned A-listers of his generation, Oscar winner Russell Crowe has found himself a steady career hustling far further down the food chain, headlining B-movies he once would have balked at. The last few years have seen the famed actor crop up in gonzo road rage thriller Unhinged , shepherd the other Hemsworths in war drama Land of Bad , lead the barely released crime thriller Sleeping Dogs earlier this year and become the pope’s exorcist in The Pope’s Exorcist . The latter became something of a surprise hit, first theatrically and then on Netflix, albeit in a rather jokey way, the film most easily remembered for the many memes of Crowe on a scooter. Its success was such that it not only guaranteed a sequel (The Pope’s Exorcist 2 is coming), but it also led to another of his exorcism movies getting saved from streaming hell and being delivered to th...
