1. Allied (Release Year – 2016)

Available On – Netflix

Plot: Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the 1940s-set film revolves around the romantic relationship between a Canadian intelligence officer, Max (Brad Pitt), and a French Resistance Fighter, Marianne (Marion Cotillard). After surviving a dangerous mission, they fall in love and marry. But their loyalties...

African refugees struggling to reach Europe receive an unpleasant welcome in Uwe Boll’s Run. The action thriller from the renegade German director of First Shift and BloodRayne dropped its first official trailer today, shared exclusively with The Hollywood Reporter (see below).

Oscar-nominees Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction) and Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips) star, alongside an impressive ensemble cast that includes James Russo, Ulrich Thomsen, Kristen Renton, Daniel Sauli, Marcus Henderson and newcomer Hannah Balogun.

The feature follows a group of migrants traveling by boat across the Mediterranean Sea toward Italy. When the vessel goes off course, tensions rise, leading to violence as the migrants turn on the smugglers. Upon reaching shore, some passengers evade capture, setting off a series of events throughout the day that escalate into further conflict, intertwining the lives of migrants, locals, and tourists.

Plummer plays a local U.S. expat who tries to help the migrants,...

Sometimes, a movie is so good that it immediately makes the audience hungry for more. Often, studios attempt to capitalize on this desire by churning out sequels as soon as they possibly can, even if it means pushing out a movie sequel with a massive budget. By doing this, they can continue to keep people excited about the franchise, maintaining its status as a lucrative outlet for the company. The downside of this strategy, however, is that the need to rapidly produce these movies can often come with the consequence of having to sacrifice the high level of quality achieved by the original film.

Once in a while, though, a studio makes the bold decision to make audiences wait quite a while before giving them the sequel they have been craving. This is a risky move, as it can result in losing the excitement surrounding the franchise, but it also...

Armie Hammer’s comeback is picking up steam after nabbing the starring role in Uwe Boll’s latest film, “The Dark Knight.”

Hammer is set to play the crime-fighting titular character in the vigilante thriller, which is scheduled to begin principal photography in Croatia on Jan. 27.

The embattled actor, who saw his career come to a halt in 2021 following allegations of sexual misconduct, recently returned to work in Travis Mills’ forthcoming western “Frontier Crucible,” which also stars Thomas Jane and William H. Macy.

Following a lengthy probe, Los Angeles prosecutors in 2023 declined to charge the actor with any crime.

Prior to the allegations, Hammer starred in such high-profile pics as Gore Verbinski’s “The Lone Ranger” alongside Johnny Depp, Guy Ritchie’s “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” with Henry Cavill and Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me by Your Name” with Timothée Chalamet.

In a recent podcast interview, Hammer said that his...

Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic, has found a new streaming home on Paramount+. So, now's the chance to give the hard sci-fi thriller a rewatch, as it's one of the genre's best films.

Blade Runner 2049 takes place in the universe first created by Scott. The sci-fi thriller follows a law enforcer hunting down androids who have become sentient and gone rogue in a futuristic society. Blade Runner 2049 centers around K (Ryan Gosling), a "replicant" (an android) who’s also a "blade runner" (futuristic bounty hunter). The plot synopsis reads as follows:

Thirty years after the events of Blade Runner, a new Blade Runner, L.A.P.D. Officer "K" unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former L.A.P.D. Blade Runner,...

Hulu is definitely one of the most underrated streaming services out there as it is one of the biggest streaming services in the world but it doesn’t have as much flashy content as its other counterparts like Netflix or Prime Video.

Filmmaking is a business, where movies are carefully constructed and meticulously crafted products meant to turn a profit for major studios and independent publishers alike. But a carefully crafted product is only as successful as its marketing and branding initiatives can sell, and sometimes some of the best-crafted movies are brought down by less-than-ideal marketing campaigns.

Bad marketing is the death knell for a feature film, even if the movie is critically acclaimed and beloved by the audiences that did see it. When movies are burdened with bad marketing, even the best can fail.

Paul Greengrass makes harrowing movies. He established this with his gripping 2002 Northern Ireland docudrama "Bloody Sunday," which was his springboard to Hollywood, where he turned the Jason Bourne franchise into a master class in jittery, handheld, shoot-for-the-edit cinema. These successes for Universal compelled the studio to take a managed $15 million risk on Greengrass' "United 93," his masterful staging of the heroic events that transpired on the fourth hijacked plane, which thankfully did not reach its target, on 9/11. It's his best film to date, but one that's also way too intense for many people to endure -- which can also be said of his biographical thriller "Captain Phillips."

The account of Somali pirates hijacking the shipping vessel Maersk Alabama in 2009 stars Tom Hanks as the title skipper who managed to engineer the rescue of himself and his crew from the ship. It's shot in Greengrass' trademark docudrama style, which means a lot of shaky cameras,...

UTA Independent Film Group has acquired Uwe Boll’s upcoming migrant crisis thriller “Run,” starring Emmy and Tony award winner Amanda Plummer (“Star Trek: Picard”) and James Russo (“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1”).

UTA will handle global sales for the pic, produced by Boll’s U.S.-Canadian shingle Event Film and his German outfit Bolu.

UTA takes over from the film’s initial sales company, Stuttgart-based Kinostar, headed by “Run” executive producer Michael Roesch. The move is seen as an advantage for potential worldwide deals.

“We are thrilled to work with UTA for the global sales of ‘Run’ and can’t wait to introduce the movie to audiences around the world,” said Boll.

“We are excited that UTA loves the strong performances of our ensemble cast as much as we do, and we can’t wait to start working with them,” added Roesch.

The film’s cast...

Andy Muschietti's mega-blockbuster adaptation of "It" kicked off a new boom of Stephen King adaptations when it hit theaters in 2017, but if we were in a boom, is it safe to say we've now hit a bust? There are still tons of new King adaptations coming (I'm excited to see Osgood Perkins' take on "The Monkey" and Bryan Fuller's horned-up "Christine" update), but the massive hits have slowed down (remember "Firestarter?"), and one major adaptation, Warner Bros' "'Salem's Lot," is only now coming out after years of sitting on the shelf.

The works of Stephen King will always continue to be rich and entertaining, whether they're dominating the pop cultural zeitgeist or not. But if one title exemplifies the fickleness of the recent King adaptation boom, it's "Castle Rock," a wonderfully complicated, delightfully mysterious King-adjacent series that unceremoniously died on the vine at Hulu despite delivering two great seasons of television.

Tom Hanks was seriously snubbed at the Oscars in 2014, particularly for "Captain Phillips" and "Saving Mr. Banks." Despite critical and financial success, these movies didn't receive Oscar nominations. Hanks' acting abilities sometimes go unacknowledged by the Academy Awards, but his fans appreciate his talents.

Tom Hanks has had a wildly successful acting career, but one of his best movies that was just added to Netflix highlights just how badly he was snubbed at the 2014 Academy Awards. Hanks has had a bit of good fortune with the Oscars: he's been nominated six times, with five of those nominations being for Best Actor. He also won the Best Actor Oscar twice in a row, for 1994's Philadelphia and 1995's Forrest Gump. All of Tom Hanks' best movies have been successful, usually both financially and critically, but some of them went underappreciated at the Oscars.

While he's far from the actor with the most Oscars,...

Captain Phillips, now on Netflix, is based on the true 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Richard Phillips and Barkhad Abdi plays the pirate leader Muse, with both receiving critical acclaim. Most of the cast's supporting actors were new to the industry, with exception to a few character actors like Chris Mulkey and Catherine Keener

The Captain Phillips cast features one Hollywood veteran and several new faces. Now streaming on Netflix, Captain Phillips is based on the true story of the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates. Tom Hanks leads the cast as the titular Captain Richard Phillips, the ship's commanding officer who is taken hostage by the pirates, led by their ruthless leader Muse, played by a new actor in a breakout role. The film focuses on the intense standoff between the crew and the pirates, highlighting Phillips' harrowing ordeal...

Tom Hanks' movie Captain Phillips is based on the memoir of Captain Richard Phillips titled A Captain's Duty. Phillips' memoir provides a detailed account of the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates and his life after the event. Phillips retired from his maritime career in 2014 and now speaks publicly about his experience.

Played by Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips, there is a real man behind the titular protagonist. Captain Richard Phillips was born in Winchester, Ma, in 1955 and worked as the ship captain of the Mv Maersk Alabama when it was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009. Four years later, this feat was chronicled by the Paul Greengrass film Captain Phillips.

Captain Phillips brought wider exposure to Richard Phillips remarkable true story. The docudrama was nominated for several awards, including six Oscar nominations. Among said nominations were Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for the just-introduced Barkhad Abdi, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Though the film itself is gripping,...

Abduwali Muse was the only surviving pirate of the Maersk Alabama hijacking. Muse pled guilty to six felony charges and was sentenced to 405 months, or nearly 34 years, in federal prison. Muse is currently serving his 33-year sentence in a federal prison and will be released in 2038 with five years of supervised release.

Abduwali Muse was a main focus of Captain Phillips, but the movie never explained what happened to the pirate after the hijacking. Captain Phillips focuses on the true story of the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. On April 8, 2009, Abduwali Muse and three other Somali pirates boarded the Maersk Alabama, took control, and eventually fled in a lifeboat with Captain Richard Phillips as their hostage. It was the first time a United States ship was boarded by pirates since the early 1800s, and the true story behind Captain Phillips was just as intense as the movie depicted it.

Tom Hanks' versatile acting career includes standout roles in films like Big, Forrest Gump, and Saving Private Ryan. Captain Phillips, now on Netflix, is a biographical drama based on the true story of a hijacked ship, with Hanks portraying the ship's commanding officer. Hanks' final five minutes in Captain Phillips showcase a masterful, emotionally charged performance, humanizing the protagonist and earning praise.

One of the greatest scenes of Tom Hanks' entire 44-year career is in a movie that just released on Netflix. He is one of the best actors in Hollywood. Movies that define Tom Hanks' career demonstrate his unbelievable acting range. He began in comedy, showcasing his knack for humor and charm, from Bosom Buddies to Ron Howard's Splash, to The Money Pit alongside Shelley Long. However, his career truly took off in the late 1980s with the film Big, where his performance as a child in an...

Uwe Boll’s migrant crisis thriller “Run” is making its market debut in Cannes via Stuttgart-based sales company Kinostar.

Boll just wrapped shooting on his latest pic and unveiled the first images from the production. Shot entirely in the resort town of Baška on the Croatian island of Krk, which doubles for a coastal community in Italy, “Run” follows a group of desperate migrants as they make landfall after a perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea and the impact of their arrival on locals and tourists.

The cast includes Emmy and Tony award winner Amanda Plummer, James Russo, European Film Award winner Ulrich Thomsen, BAFTA winner Barkhad Abdi (“Captain Phillips”), Kristen Renton, Daniel Sauli, Marcus Henderson, Mohammed (Michel) Qissy, Sammy Sheik, Costas Mandylor, Daniela Piperno (“Ferrari”), Ezra Mabengeza, Hannah Balogun and Matteo Pasquini (“Return to Silent Hill”).

Showtime’s satirical thriller “The Curse,” created by stars Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie and also starring Emma Stone, has exclusively shared its Emmy submission plans with Variety.

The three multi-hyphenates will have more than one chance at recognition across various categories for producing, acting, directing, writing and editing.

“The Curse” explores the tumultuous lives of a married couple (Fielder and Stone), who encounter a string of misfortunes while filming an HGTV series in New Mexico. Their challenges are compounded by a dubious “curse” and a manipulative producer (Safdie), which together threaten both the show and their relationship.

Stone, fresh off her second best actress Oscar win for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things,” is eyeing her first Emmy nod. She seeks recognition for her portrayal of Whitney, the co-host of the couple’s show about eco-friendly homes. Additionally, Stone is vying for a guest comedy actress nod for...

Amanda Plummer of “Pulp Fiction” and “Star Trek: Picard” fame and veteran thesps James Russo and Ulrich Thompson (“The Celebration”) have joined Uwe Bolls’s forthcoming migrant crisis thriller “Run.”

Tyson's Run features a stellar cast that brings to life the story of a determined autistic boy on a quest for approval. The film sheds light on the challenges faced by children on the autism spectrum, both at school and in their homes. Despite its moderate box office earnings, Tyson's Run is now a popular movie on Netflix due to its heartwarming and memorable story.

The 2022 drama film Tyson's Run boasts an extraordinary cast that breathes life into the tale of courage and perseverance. Tyson's Run is based on a true story and follows the journey of a 15-year-old autistic boy named Tyson, who works to earn his father's approval by running a marathon. The film sheds light on the challenges faced by children on the autism spectrum, both in school and at home.

Tyson's Run was written and directed by Kim Bass, who is known for A Snowy Day in Oakland...

Tyson's Run is very loosely inspired by a true story, but not based on one. The characters of Aklilu and Tyson are fictional but Barkhad Abdi and Major Dodson portray them authentically. It's important for autistic actors to portray autistic characters in film.

Tyson’s Run is a complex story with such developed characters, raising the question whether the movie is based on a true story. This film follows Tyson, a 15-year-old autistic boy played by Walking Dead actor Major Dodson, who has complicated family relationships. In order to gain his father’s praise, he decides he is going to run a marathon. In order to succeed with this goal, he teams up with a champion runner named Aklilu. Tyson’s Run is meant to be inspirational but perpetuates some harmful ideas about overcoming autism, instead of recognizing autism spectrum disorder as a neurotype and disability.

Despite this, Tyson's Run has...

Many viewers are wondering what aspects of Tyson's Run legitimately happened in real life - here's the answer.

Tyson's Run is a 2022 film directed by Kim Bass that tells the story of Tyson Hollerman, a 15-year-old boy with autism who embarks on a journey to prove himself by training for a citywide marathon. 

Many viewers have found the film a few years after its release now that it is streaming on Netflix, featuring Rory Cochrane, Amy Smart, Major Dodson, and Barkhad Abdi.

One day, Barkhad Abdi was driving taxicabs in Minneapolis and the next, he was on movie sets in Malta and Morocco, making his acting debut opposite Oscar winner Tom Hanks in the high-octane hostage picture Captain Phillips for filmmaker Paul Greengrass.

A few days after cameras started rolling, Abdi dialed up Francine Maisler, the casting director who locked him in the movie playing the lead Somali pirate responsible for hijacking an American cargo ship. “I called Francine and said, ‘I like this. I want to do more. How can I make this my career?'” remembers Abdi, who beat out more than 1,000 hopefuls vying for the role from open casting calls in Minneapolis, Ohio and San Diego, cities home to large populations of Somali Americans. “She asked me how many Black actors I see in movies each year, and I said, ‘Not that many.’ She then said, ‘Whatever you do...

Creating original sequels to adaptations can expand the story beyond the source material's reach. Certain mediums, like TV shows, can be more effective for book adaptations than feature films. Some adaptations diverge from the source material, crafting new narratives and timelines, as seen in various successful shows and movies.

The success of a live-action adaptation can sometimes lead to another installment, but sometimes extending the story means the project falls outside the remaining source material - that is if there is any left at all. When this happens, the approach taken by the producers can vary. While one of the most common ways a story can be fleshed out after the source material has been exhausted is to write an original sequel, sometimes the new entry into the canon takes place before the already-established events.

Live-action adaptations can become TV shows or feature-length films. However, there are various examples that...

Certain television shows push the boundaries of what audiences consume and lead to thought-provoking anxiety about one's own existence. Some anxiety-inducing shows use comedy to explore why uncomfortable situations make us anxious, while others rely on high stakes and compelling narratives to keep viewers on edge. These anxiety-inducing series, while tough to get through, are rewarding in their ability to provoke internal questions and provide unique insights into dark realities and cringe-inducing moments.

Certain television shows have featured compelling characters, strong storylines, and wonderful writing, but are just so anxiety-inducing that they can be difficult to get through. Television shows such as these are a testament to the media’s power to make audiences feel uncomfortable by confronting them with the dark realities of lived existence, the cringe-inducing power of comedy, and the horrific distressing nature of tragedy. While shows like this can be difficult to get through, they are...

Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has praised the show ‘The Curse’ and said that it’s unlike anything he has ever seen on television before.

Nolan was seen moderating a panel for ‘The Curse’, the Showtime series that stars Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone.

In the panel that the cable network shared on YouTube, Nolan praised the show, saying: “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television before. I think the show is incredible.”

Nolan said that this type of show could only be made now during the “anarchy of the streaming era” and that “tone is the star” of the series — comparing it to the first season of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks.

“Congratulations on an incredible show that’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television before. There are so few shows that come along that genuinely have no precedence,” Nolan said as the panel ended, reports deadline.

Christopher Nolan recently moderated a panel for The Curse, the Showtime series that stars Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone.

Benny Safdie, who starred in Nolan’s Oppenheimer, is a co-creator of the series alongside Fielder. In the panel that the cable network shared on YouTube, Nolan praised the show, saying, “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television before.”

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from the finale of Showtime’s “The Curse” now streaming on Paramount+.

The finale of “The Curse,” set nearly a year after the previous episode, begins in an unlikely place: the set of “The Rachael Ray Show.” Asher (Nathan Fielder) and Whitney (Emma Stone) appear on the cooking show via Zoom to promote the new season of their HGTV series, now called “Green Queen,” and explain to the masses the environmental benefits of “passive living.”

They also plan to announce their pregnancy during the live broadcast, Whitney’s baby bump purposefully in frame. But the “flipanthropist” couple is all but entirely ignored as Ray banters with her in-studio guest, “The Sopranos” star Vincent Pastore, who’s teaching her how to cook his famous meatball recipe.

Their Flipanthropy renovation series, now rebranded Green Queen, has a spot on HGTV … albeit the HGTV streaming app but HGTV all the same. They get to promote their program on an episode of The Rachael Ray Show. Granted, Rachael is far more interested in her guest Vincent Pastore (of The Sopranos) and his meatball recipe but still … Rachael Ray! Whit is finally even pregnant, perpetually resting her hand on her bulging belly as if to reassure herself that the baby they tried so hard for is actually there. Baby Braxton, of course, is in...
