The John Wick spin-off Ballerina (which has been marketed as From the World of John Wick: Ballerina) is now in theatres. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray has shared his take on the film, and his 7/10 review can be read at This Link. Now we want to know, what did you think of the movie?

Back in 2017, Lionsgate bought an action thriller spec script called Ballerina, which was written by Shay Hatten and ranked on The Black List as one of the best unproduced screenplays of that year. The idea was to have Hatten rewrite the script to take place within the world of Lionsgate’s John Wick franchise – and Hatten was also hired to co-write John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which included a set-up for the Ballerina concept of ballerina assassins. Hatten did his rewrite, Len Wiseman was hired to direct the film, Ana de Armas was cast as the title character,...

After making an impression with her brief action scene in No Time to Die, Ana De Armas can be seen wielding guns and kicking bad guy butt again in the upcoming John Wick spin-off Ballerina. While that movie attracted some eyebrow raises during its production with news of reshoots, the end product doesn’t look to be a total disaster as first reactions say that the action in it is a lot of fun and the plot (while underwhelming) isn’t completely disorienting. Our own Chris Bumbray teased, “Happy to say Ballerina is actually a solid addition to the John Wick franchise, and a good star vehicle for Ana de Armas, who is a born movie star.”

De Armas continues to raise her stardom as she is also set to star in a movie with Tom Cruise, titled Deeper. Doug Liman directs Deeper, and reportedly, Cruise and Armas were spotted together,...

It has come to light in recent years that some of our recent crop of action movie stars have it in their contracts that they can’t be shown losing in a fight, and/or their character can’t take more hits in a fight scene than they deliver… which has always struck me as deeply strange, because the action heroes in the old days were often shown taking a beating. And their movies were better for it! Part of what makes Die Hard great is because John McClane isn’t invulnerable; in fact, he’s a bloody, wounded mess by the end of the movie. Sylvester Stallone was never afraid to have his characters get hurt. Riggs barely survived some of the Lethal Weapon movies. The list goes on, but the fact that the heroes of yesteryear took a beating made their movies more effective. And one filmmaker who...

Get your first look at the cast of killers in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina with a new set of character posters. There are old faces and new among the murderers' row of characters in the long-awaited actioner. The movie will pirouette its way into theaters on June 6, 2025.

Ana de Armas leads the cast of the film as Eve Macarro, a ballerina-slash-assassin from the same organization John Wick (Keanu Reeves) grew up in, as seen in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. That organization is led by The Director (Anjelica Huston), who returns for Ballerina. Other familiar faces on the posters include Reeves' Wick, Continental hotel manager Winston Scott (Ian McShane), and Continental concierge Charon (Lance Reddick); it will be the late Reddick's last performance. New faces include Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects), Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), Catalina Sandino Moreno(Maria Full of Grace), David Castañeda (The...

Tom Clancy was one of the literary world's most talented and successful authors, with the acclaimed late writer having sold more than 100 million copies of his novels throughout his stellar career. Many of his books have been given the Hollywood treatment, as both the TV and film world have created wildly entertaining adaptations of his characters like Jack Ryan and John Kelly. From silver screen hits including The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger to streaming knockouts like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Tinseltown can't get enough of tackling Clancy's beloved heroes.

The Ballerina reshoots are addressed by the movie's director. Set in the world of John Wick, Ballerina is an upcoming spinoff movie that sees Ana de Armas jump into the lead role, playing a female assassin. Said assassin goes on a mission for revenge, seeking justice against those who killed her family. In addition to de Armas, Ballerina features a leading cast including Keanu Reeves, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Anjelica Houston, Gabriel Byrne, and Robert Maaser. It is directed by Len Wiseman and set for release on June 6, 2025.

Speaking with Empire, Wiseman explains what the reported "reshoots" of Ballerina really were. In his interview, Wiseman was asked to speak about Ballerina's development process, which notably took a long time. Check out the full quote from Wiseman below:

War movies in 2023 evolved with a more critical, realistic, and bloody approach, exploring humanity's darkest aspects. Not every war film is about battles - "One Life" dives into a heroic humanitarian's story far from the battlefield. "Oppenheimer" stands out as one of the best films of 2023, critically acclaimed for its exploration of war technology and impactful character study.

2023 was a fantastic year for movies, with several great war films of varying styles and periods released. War movies can offer some of the most thrilling, heart-wrenching narratives of any genre, as their violence often feels less contrived than that of a typical action movie. While not every one takes place on the battlefield, many of the best war movies do. They're a vital subgenre of historical fiction that explores humanity at both its bravest and its most vile.

War movies continue to evolve with changing times. Like with the Western, modern...

Pictures: Netflix

What a year it has been for the biggest streamer in the world.

While the first half of the year was largely known for its widely seen star-studded critical failures, the second half of the year brought many successes. From a hit franchise blockbuster to multiple awards season contenders, Netflix’s year in films was turned around completely and may help them garner some hardware as we march towards the Oscars in March.

While this list may not represent the most-watched films of the year, I believe these to be the best Netflix had to offer over the past 12 months.

So, without further ado, here are my Top 5 Netflix Original Movies of 2023.

Please note that this author has not seen Best International Feature contender, Society of the Snow, as it will not be on Netflix until 1/4/24. This list will also not consider the Wes Anderson/Roald Dahl short...

"The Machine," starring Bert Kreischer, was primarily filmed in Belgrade, Serbia, which doubled as Russia in the movie. The production team used the Pink Films International Studios in Šimanovci, Serbia, for interior scenes that couldn't be filmed on location. Other Serbian towns like Sakule, Surčin, and Trešnja were also utilized for significant scenes in the film, including a forest sequence and Igor's village.

Comedian Bert Kreischer's famous 2016 stand-up routine was brought to life in the 2023 film The Machine, which tells the (mostly) true story of Kreischer's time abroad in Russia. However, the action comedy movie was not filmed in the largest country in the world by area, aka, Russia. Instead, most of The Machine was captured in a different European country a little ways south of the Motherland. The film jumps back and forth between the past and the present day to tell the story of Kreischer's real-life adventures with...

Few things scream "family bonding" like getting kidnapped by the Russian mob. In Sony's The Machine (2023), that's exactly what happens (more or less). Based on the viral story from comedian Bert Kreischer, The Machine chronicles his drunken trip to Russia during college. Over twenty years later, that trip catches up to him when he and his estranged father Albert (Mark Hamill) are kidnapped due to something Bert allegedly did. So, caught in a battle with a dangerous crime family, Bert and his father retrace young Bert's (Jimmy Tatro) steps, all while attempting to work on their relationship with each other. The Machine was written by Kevin Biegel (Cougar Town) and Scotty Landes (Ma), with Peter Atencio (Key and Peele) as the director. Bert Kreischer and his wife LeeAnn Kreischer produced the feature with Atencio, Judi Marmel, and Cale Boyter. It was executive produced by Jay Ashenfelter and Philip Waley.

The Machine is based on Bert Kreischer's iconic stand-up routine about his brief stint with the Russian Mob. While on a field trip with his college Russian language class, Bert partied with some Russians, only to discover they were Russian mobsters. He then helped them rob the train, including his own classmates. While this story sounds impossible, The Machine takes it to the next level with a fictitious follow-up set 25 years later. The Russian Mob kidnaps Burt and his father to help them find a piece of jewelry that was lost all those years ago during the train heist.

While Kreischer has developed an impressive reputation as a stand-up comedian, this is his big-screen debut. The Machine is directed by Peter Atencio from a script penned by Kev Biegel and Scotty Landes. In addition to Kreischer, The Machine also stars Mark Hamill, Iva Babić, Jessica Gabor, Stephanie Kurtzuba, and Robert Maaser.

It's safe to say that seeing Nazis be mercilessly beaten to a pulp often makes for an incredibly entertaining action movie subgenre. This Nazi-killing subgenre has been around for decades, and the likes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Inglourious Basterds, Captain America: The First Avenger, Overlord, and The Green Room are some of the best examples. There is just something so rewarding and satisfying about seeing Nazis getting their collective ass kicked.

Now, with Sisu, The Wrath of Becky, and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the subgenre has seemingly made a fantastical return. Netflix is the latest company to jump on this trend with the new German movie Blood and Gold, which promises more Nazi killing goodness. Thankfully, Blood and Gold delivers on the exceptional Nazi slaughter and so much more, in one of Netflix's best action movies.

Full of exceptional action sequences, Blood and Gold...

The Machine is loud, gross, obnoxious and overbearing. It’s also disarming, quick-witted, fast moving and becomes increasingly funny as it ends up in, of all places, Russia for its payoff scenes.

Presided over, if that is the right term, by the irrepressible Bert Kreischer, the big-gutted comedian who goes by the name The Machine and prefers to appear without a shirt on whenever possible, has landed his first big feature film at age 50 and continues the same comic shtick he’s been doing for years. Lo and behold, it’s still pretty funny stuff. This is a big picture for a big guy, and Kreischer is so persistent, and persistently off the wall, that it’s finally far easier to enjoy the party than to carp and resist.

Kreischer makes a point of performing with his shirt off when at all possible, something that becomes a tad strange in...

Plot: Set 23 years after the original story which inspired it, The Machine finds Bert Kreischer facing familial crisis and the arrival of his estranged father when the ghost of his booze-soaked past arrives: a murderous mobster hellbent on kidnapping Bert back to the motherland to atone for his crimes. Together, he and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self in the midst of a war between a sociopathic crime family while they attempt to find common ground.

Review: This weekend boasts two theatrical films featuring stand-up comedians with dedicated fanbases in stories about their relationship with their father. Both Sebastian Maniscalco and Bert Kreischer have performed elements of the stories at the core of their big-screen adventures, but the results could not be further apart. While About My Father is a wholesome bromance centered on the culture clash of two families, The Machine is a balls-to-the-wall action...

Blood & Gold is a movie directed by Peter Thorwarth starring Alexander Scheer, Robert Maaser and Florian Schmidtke.

Blood & Gold is a hilarious Pulp-style action movie.

Plot

A German soldier is looking for his daughter while some of Himmler’s SS boys are desperately looking for a treasure.

Blood & Gold (2023) Movie review

This movie is a great parody that not only tells a story, but also incorporates cinematic elements that make it interesting to watch. The film is well-balanced and attractive, and can only be criticized based on personal preferences. It’s a good movie that has intention, background, and form.

It’s not an action movie like Sisu, nor does it have a “comic book” style. Instead, it draws attention through metafiction and irony, which make the script reflexive and deep. The setting and photography are very good, and while it’s not a blockbuster, it’s magnificently lit.

A deserting Nazi private and a local farmer’s daughter enact bloody revenge on plundering troops in this tightly-staged switch-your-brain-off entertainment

This Netflix-backed action-driven story is effectively a spaghetti western that just happens to unfold in Germany in the last days of the second world war. (A sauerkraut or currywurst western?) Director Peter Thorwarth strives for that same pulpy-elegiac blend that made the films by Sergios Leone and Corbucci, Franco Nero and all the rest so compelling and repellent, with their squelchy violence and operatic conflict. Per the title, there’s indeed a lot of blood.

It starts with Heinrich (Robert Maaser), a lowly private in a small platoon about to be hanged for desertion because he’s disgusted by his side’s actions and just wants to go home and find his kid. But, counter to the German stereotype of ruthless efficiency, the troops just drive off and...

World War II movies have always been a great source of entertainment for viewers, whether it's Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, which tells the story of soldiers attempting to flee before enemy troops arrive, or Brad Pitt's Fury, in which a five-man crew takes on the entire army to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Despite having similar concepts, most of these films deserve the attention they receive. Perhaps something new will be found in the forthcoming Netflix World War II film Blood & Gold.

Blood & Gold is an upcoming action comedy film set near the end of World War II. Peter Thorwarth, who previously directed Blood Red Sky for Netflix, directs the movie, which stars Robert Maaser and Marie Hacke. The film, shot in the Czech Republic, is now one of the most anticipated Netflix movies and possibly the most anticipated war film in the coming month.

"An unlikely group of outcasts taking on the entire Nazi empire." Netflix has unveiled another new "special trailer" for the WWII action thrille Blood & Gold, the latest from German filmmaker Peter Throwarth. It will be streaming on Netflix at the end of May. This is his second film with Netflix recently after his vampire thriller Blood Red Sky. Desperate to return home to his daughter during the final days of World War II, a German deserter finds himself caught in a battle against SS troops on a mission to uncover hidden gold. On his way to find his daughter, deserter Henrich is stopped by SS troops and hanged from a tree. Courageous farmer Elsa saves him just in time. United by their common enemy, the two fight for justice and for their families. A thrilling and bloody search for stolen gold treasure begins, revealing bitter secrets along the way.

Netflix is getting into the "let's kill Nazis violently" sub-genre of World War II films with the upcoming "Blood & Gold." This movie may not be on your radar just yet, but it seems like the kind of title that is destined to build up some buzz once it arrives on the streaming service next month. To that end, a new trailer for the German war flick has been released online that offers an extremely fun look at what promises to be a murder-heavy tale of revenge.

What's particularly entertaining about this "special trailer" is that it gives the film an old-school, grindhouse makeover that gives us a little bit of a Quentin Tarantino flavor, with "Inglorious Basterds" being the obvious touchstone. But it feels more at home with the fake trailers that were attached to 2007's "Grindhouse," even though this is a very real movie that you can watch in just a few weeks.

Netflix has debuted the first trailer for its upcoming film Blood & Gold, a new German-language action comedy set “in the final days of the Second World War.” Directed by Peter Thorwarth, Blood & Gold stars Robert Maaser as Private Heinrich, a deserter who is “desperate to return home to his daughter,” but is sidetracked after being pulled into a treasure hunt.

"I'm done with this madness. Where is the gold?!" Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a WWII action thriller titled Blood & Gold, the latest from German filmmaker Peter Throwarth. This is his second film with Netflix recently (and the second with "Blood" in the title), following his vampire thriller Blood Red Sky a few years ago. Desperate to return home to his daughter during the final days of World War II, a German deserter finds himself caught in a battle against SS troops on a mission to uncover hidden gold. On his way to find his daughter, deserter Henrich is stopped by SS troops and hanged from a tree. Courageous farmer Elsa saves him just in time. United by their common enemy, the two fight for justice and for their families. A thrilling and bloody search for stolen gold treasure begins, revealing bitter secrets along the way.

Long before Ryan Reynolds stepped in as Deadpool, Detective Pikachu, or the co-owner of the Welsh football club Wrexham A.F.C., most people knew him as the star of "National Lampoon's Van Wilder." But did you know that the titular seventh-year senior was actually based on a real person? The charismatic character was based on a Florida State University student that was profiled by Rolling Stone in 1997. Dubbed "the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country," that student's name was Bert Kreischer.

Now known for his stand-up comedy (which he performs without a shirt on), the St. Petersburg native has proven that his life gets much Wilder than anything that inspired Reynolds' breakout role. One...

Comedian and star Bert Kreischer’s The Machine will laugh its way into theaters on May 26, the beginning of the long Memorial Day weekend. Legendary Star Wars actor Mark Hamill co-stars opposite Kreischer.

Sony and Legendary announced the film’s release date on Wednesday. The two companies recently announced a multi-year distribution deal.

The film is an adaptation of a story Kreischer told onstage about getting involved with the Russian mob while studying abroad in college. The tale of Kreischer’s exploits quickly went viral and has been viewed more than 85 million times, according to Legendary.

Peter Atencio (Key & Peele, Keanu) is directing The Machine from a script by Kevin Biegel and Scotty Landes.

Together, he and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self (Jimmy Tatro) in the midst of a war between a sociopathic crime family while they attempt to find common ground.

Kreischer will perform an exclusive live pre-show event at 6 p.m. May 25 in Los Angeles at a Tba theater location. The pre-show, which will be simulcast across 1,000+ theaters nationwide, will be followed by the first preview screening of the film. Tickets will go on sale at a later date.

Stars: Bart Edwards, Richard Brake, Richard Short, Robert Maaser, Alexandra Evans | Written by Giles Alderson, Jonny Grant | Directed by Giles Alderson

Jay (Bart Edwards) is spending a somewhat uncommon night in with the family. We come to find that something sinister is lurking outside the house. After searching for his wife and being knocked out by an intruder, he wakes up in a shitty dank ass basement chained up in the corner with three other prisoners for company. We soon come face to face with the prisoners captor, a man who hides behind a grotesque mask and is intent on tormenting and terrorizing his prey. What ensues is a battle of wits and will for survival as our captives begin to realize they share more in common than previously thought as actions from their past may hold the key to their current predicament.

This year will see two films of diverse genres releasing on the same day. We are talking about the romantic Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to be releasing along the same day as the hard hitting Shivaay. The release dates of both these films have been decided as October 28, 2016. Karan Johar directed Ae Dil Hai Mushkil stars Ranbir Kapoor, Fawad Khan, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. In fact Karan recently revealed that Aishwarya's name in the film is Saba Taliyarkhan. Shivaay, on the other hand, stars Ajay Devgn with Sayesha Sehgal and Robert Maaser, Erika Kaar. This is Ajay Devgn's second directorial venture. Besides Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay, this year will also see the clash of other two biggies in the form of Shah Rukh Khan's Raees and Salman Khan's Sultan, both of them releasing on July 3 this year.
