Los Frikis, a new drama about a band of punk-rock outcasts in 1990s Cuba, will be available to rent or buy digitally this week. To commemorate the punk-rock spirit of the film, design house Mutant has produced four new exclusive posters for the film. Collider has an exclusive first look at the posters, which were designed by artist Boneface. Mutant and Boneface collaborated with the Los Frikis filmmakers to capture the film's anarchic ethos.

The poster features a lone rider in punk rock garb atop a horse that's up to its torso in water; both are surrounded by fluttering butterflies. There are four uniquely eye-popping color variants of the poster, each patterned after an iconic punk album cover: the US and UK releases of The Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, The Misfits' Walk Among Us, and The Ramones' Rocket to Russia. All four posters will be available on Friday,...

A spaghetti western is defined as a low-budget Western film created by European directors, and for the most part, they were primarily produced in Italy during the 1960s. In addition to a long list of different filming techniques, spaghetti Westerns were unique in the fact that they often focused on the negative aspects of Westerns, such as the corruption and violence at the center of many of it its stories.

As many Western fans are likely aware, Clint Eastwood famously starred in three spaghetti westerns: A Fistful of Dollars in 1964, The Good, the Bad and The Ugly in 1966, and For a Few Dollars More in 1965. Though he is considered a figurehead within the genre of Spaghetti Westerns, there are a wide variety of Spaghetti Westerns that are just as fantastical but do not star Eastwood.

When Dayanand Shetty Was Linked To His Cid Co-Star(Photo Credit – YouTube)

Actor Dayanand Shetty has become a household name for portraying the fiery inspector Daya on the cult crime TV show Cid. While he gained a lot of accolades for his performance on the show, did you know that he faced an unwanted linkup rumor on the sets? Yes, you heard that right! He was speculated to be dating his co-star Mona Ambegaonkar. For the unversed, Mona, who is a renowned Marathi actress, was seen playing forensic scientist, Dr Anjalika Deshmukh.

Dayanand Shetty Was Already Married When The Linkup Rumors Began

According to Bollywood Shaadi, Dayanand Shetty was already married to Smitha Shetty when his linkup rumors with Mona Ambegaonkar began. The Cid actor also has a daughter, Viva, from his marriage. While the rumors of his alleged extra-marital affair with Mona started in full swing, they got further...

Brandy Corbet’s The Brutalist from A24 hammered its way into theaters this weekend with one of the best limited openings of 2024 (no. 3 after Anora and Kinds of Kindness). It sold out nearly 30 showtimes in New York and Los Angeles for a gross of $266.8k on four screens for a per screen opening of $66.7k.

The majority of audiences were under 35 and almost half heard about the film via Letterboxd as the online film-centric social network continues to be a defining force for indie word-of-mouth in the post-Covid era.

Corbet’s third feature centers on Adrien Brody’s László Toth, a Brutalist architect from Hungary attempting to rebuild his life in postwar America. Initially forced to toil in poverty, Toth soon wins a contract that will change the course of the next 30 years of his life.

The sweeping film premiered in Venice where Corbet won Best Director and has built throughout the fall season.

As we watched acrobats twirl and twist across the air, committing to gravity-defying feats amidst the backdrop of elaborate sets — a full-sized pirate ship, two story-tall books opening their pages — all I can think back to is the pre-show of this performance of Cirque du Soleil’s JOYÁ: three seasoned musicians, humbly spotlit on the stage, simply performing the son cubano classic, “Chan-Chan”.

Exclusive: Georgian Anti-Putin drama The Antique, which had its world premiere at Venice’s Giornate degli Autori temporarily suspended after Russian and Croatian producers issued an injunction claiming copyright issues, is back in the courts again.

The film’s Georgian producer Zurab Magalashvili at Tbilisi-based Cinetech Film Production and director Rusudan Glurjidze have revealed that the production has been hit by a fresh lawsuit, in what they call “an increasingly aggressive attempt to undermine this Anti-Putin film”.

The drama, which is Georgia’s Oscar entry this year, takes inspiration from the real-life illegal expulsion of thousands of Georgian nationals from Russia in 2006.

The deportations were part of the so-called 2006 Georgian–Russian espionage controversy, sparked by Georgia’s arrest of a number of Russian military officers on charges of espionage and terrorism, when Vladimir Putin was in his first term as Russian president.

According to a writ filed at the...

It’s Monday so you know what that means, it’s time for our weekly review of Aew: Rampage! This week’s show emanated from the Snhu Arena in Manchester, Nh and featured Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Matt Menard on commentary. Now let’s get to the review…

Match #1: Hikaru Shida def. Viva Van The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Shida swung Viva Van in a waist lock and then planted Viva Van on the mat. Shida followed up with a running knee strike as Viva Van was draped over the edge of the ring apron. Viva Van fired back, hammering Shida, grounding and pounding Shida. Shida and Viva Van traded forearms in the center of the ring. Shida dropkicked Viva Van from the middle rope. Shida followed up with a running bulldog and a knee strike for a near fall. Viva Van connected with a springboard crossbody.

Sony will own the first weekend of November at the box office, with the second frame of the Culver City lot’s Venom: The Last Dance down around 60%, or $20 million, for No. 1, followed by the studio’s release of Miramax’s adult drama Here.

Here, which reps the Forrest Gump reteam of filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, scribe Eric Roth and stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, is expected to do around $7M with an eye on hopefully pulling older adults out again this weekend after they made a date for Focus Features’ Conclave last weekend ($6.6M opening).

It remains to be seen whether Here slots in second place, giving Sony the frame’s 1-2 punch.

The question is whether audiences will go along with watching a generations drama story about various families on the same property/house at a skewed-degree angle. Hanks and Wright are technologically de-aged to their former 1980s/1990s selves,...

Paul Morrissey, a fixture of New York’s cinema scene whose collaborations with Andy Warhol in the ’60s and ’70s reinvented the American underground and made local legends of amateur actors and transgender performers, died Monday at a hospital in Manhattan. He was 86.

Morrissey’s death was confirmed by archivist Michael Chaiken to the New York Times, which reported that the cause was pneumonia.

Warhol and Morrissey were first introduced in 1965, when the former had begun to tinker with experimental films in his infamous loft hub, dubbed The Factory. Working on budgets of under $10,000, the pair completed a series of features, reaching the most commercial success with a trilogy starring Warhol fixture and gay sex symbol Joe Dallesandro that consisted of “Flesh,” “Trash” and “Heat.” Warhol served as producer, while Morrissey’s cinéma vérité direction and largely ad-libbed scripts provided his leads, such as Dallesandro, Jackie Curtis, Holly Woodlawn and Viva,...

The Spanish guitar goddesses in Hinds have been through it lately, and they bet that you have, too. They begin their fabulously resilient Viva Hinds with “Hi, How Are You,” a garage-rock strut with some call-and-response about shaking off some bad luck. Ana Perrotte sings, “Hey, you okay?” Carlotta Cosials replies, “I’ve been better tbh.” Viva Hinds is their fourth and finest album, a joyful, brash half-hour of swaggering tunes about facing up to heartache by turning it into a sarcastic joke, with guitars cranked up all the way.

Fernando Arrabal’s Viva la Muerte is a mostly autobiographical account of the filmmaker’s youth during the Spanish Civil War that intermingles with disturbingly surreal dreams and fantasies. This alienation effect is rendered all the more unsettling since Arrabal opts to shoot the imaginal sequences on heavily color-filtered video, aligning them with Nam June Paik’s avant-garde video art. Another sort of alienation may stem from some unsimulated violence against animals, in particular a jaw-dropping scene in a slaughterhouse that combines the in-your-face verité of Georges Franju’s Blood of the Beasts with the dynamic writhing of Isadora Duncan.

Viva la Muerte opens at the end of the war, with a jeep full of fascist soldiers declaring the titular phrase and vowing to kill half of Spain’s population if that’s what it takes to cleanse the nation from the pernicious influence of atheism and communism. Young Fando (Mahdi Chaouch) looks on,...

CC4 in 2024? ? Fitting!

On Thursday, Camila Cabello sent fans into a frenzy as she debuted a completely new hairstyle and declared that the time for a new era of music has finally arrived.

“It’s time >:),” the singer captioned the post, where she’s seen posing for selfies using a digital video camera as she debuts fresh, blond hair with bangs. Backing the visual were some computerized sounds that included her voice, though it’s unclear what she was saying.

Several days before New Year’s Eve, the singer...

Camila Cabello is giving her fans a heads-up: new music could be on the way in 2024. On Thursday, the singer shared a series of photos on her Instagram Story and teased the arrival of new music in the new year.

After sharing a photo of the recording studio and another picture of her music collaborators, the singer posted a photo of herself in a recording booth with a mouth-zipped emoji, writing, “Mostly the year of this… See you next year, bitches.”

She also shared a text message to her mom Sinu Cabello,...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Trolls Band Together!

Trolls Band Together movie includes a mid-credits scene where Branch attempts to propose to Poppy, but she mistakenly accepts an invitation to join the band. There is a second mid-credits scene featuring Tiny Diamond in therapy, where he learns he must pay out of pocket for the session due to being out of his network. Stick around for the post-credits audio line from Viva, who exclaims, "Oh wow, it's like sunshine in my earholes!" which captures the positive and uplifting essence of the Trolls franchise.

More often than not these days it's worth it to sit through the credits for a fun extra scene at the end, but does Trolls Band Together have a post-credits scene? The third film in the Trolls franchise is directed by Walt Dorhn and focuses primarily on Branch (Justin Timberlake) and his four brothers who were...

“Trolls Band Together” — the latest entry in DreamWorks Animation’s family friendly franchise — brings together some of the biggest names in movies and music.

Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick reprise their roles from the previous “Trolls” films as Branch and Poppy, respectively. The two are now officially a couple, but when Branch’s boyband past comes back to haunt him, the Trolls embark on another music- and fun-filled adventure.

Click here to find out where to watch “Trolls Band Together,” which opens Friday. And read on to find out who voices whom in the film:

Justin Timberlake as Branch

Branch is a Pop Troll and Poppy’s boyfriend. Branch was the youngest member of the pop band BroZone, where he went by the name Bitty B.

Timberlake is best known for being a member of the boy band Nsync before embarking on a solo career. His film credits include “The Social Network,...

The new Trolls 3 movie is now in theaters and seeing as it’s the third installment in a successful franchise, there’s a good chance another movie could be on the way.

So, that means a post-credits scene might tease a future movie, right?

Fans who are checking out the movie will likely want to know if they should stick around after the credits for an additional scene. Many movies these days, especially ones that are part of a franchise, will include extra footage at the end to tease future installments or to give audiences some bonus content.

So, do you need to stick around after Trolls Band Together?

Keep reading to find out if you need to wait for a post-credits scene…

We can confirm that Yes, there are end credits scenes during Trolls Band Together, so make sure to stick around to watch them!

The first moment...

Though the end of the year is mainly the mainstay of serious and somber award-seeking films, there’s almost always room for family-friendly flicks. After all, there has to be a break from all the hectic holiday preparations, and what better way to relax than getting off your feet in one of those swell reclining plush multiplex chairs? So, the “mouse house” will arrive shortly with a slick fantasy fable, but how about their “major ‘toon rival”? Well, the fine folks at Dreamworks are completing a trilogy begun seven years ago when they put a new spin on a beloved baby boomer toy. Much of that spin involves music, as the lil’ critters interpreted classic (and some brand new) pop tunes. This makes their third outing feel a bit foreshadowed as those Trolls Band Together.

This new outing begins with a flashback to the final performance of the huge Troll boy band BroZone.

“Trolls Band Together” is nearly here. And before you rejoin Branch (Justin Timberlake), Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and the rest of the gang (this time in a daring attempt to save Branch’s boy band brothers), why not go behind the scenes of DreamWorks Animation’s latest marvel in this exclusive behind-the-scenes video? You can watch it above.

In the video you can see brand-new “Trolls” universe characters, like the inhabitants of Vacation Island that take on the appearance of floppy puppets. Plus learn more about Rhonda, the psychedelic, sentient bus that transports the trolls on their go-for-broke adventure.

“The best part about working on ‘Trolls’ is the incredible artists that we get to work worth,” director Walt Dohrn says in the featurette. “And pushing this world into new and exciting places.” Earlier in the piece, Dohrn says that he really wanted “Trolls Band Together” to have its own identity and...

Stop me before I pun again.

It’s a mantra that I dearly wish the creators of the third installment in the hugely successful animated Trolls series had taken to heart. Capitalizing on the fact that one of the film’s main voice stars, Justin Timberlake, was formerly a member of one of the biggest boy bands in pop history, Trolls Band Together is stuffed with so many groan-worthy punning jokes and one-liners referencing such bands from the ‘90s and other eras that you wonder whether the film was made for its target tyke audience or their parents. Many of the latter will at least enjoy the pop culture nostalgia while enduring the perfunctory storyline.

You have to admire Timberlake for being willing to make fun of his showbiz past. The plot involves the revelation that his character, Branch, was once the baby (literally) member of BroZone, a mega-successful boy band featuring his four brothers,...

The central theme of Trolls Band Together is the importance of family, which is portrayed in a not-so-subtle manner throughout the movie. While the animation and new character designs are visually appealing, the movie lacks creativity and fails to have a truly engaging plot. The music in Trolls Band Together is a mix of classic hits and original songs, with the original numbers being the most memorable and enjoyable. However, the movie doesn't take the opportunity to truly incorporate *Nsync.

After watching Trolls Band Together, it's obvious why the hot topic surrounding the movie has been star Justin Timberlake reuniting with his will boy band *Nsync after more than two decades. There is simply not much else worth commenting on, despite the myriad storylines buzzing around in order to accommodate the ever-growing cast of A-listers. The third film in the Trolls franchise opens with the revelation that the grumpy Branch...
