The first look at Prime Video's outlandish crime-comedy caper Deep Cover sees Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed swap the stage for the streets as the three improv comedians turn their hand to spy work, only to discover that it's no laughing matter. The images, which come courtesy of Empire Magazine, offer a closer look at the three central characters who must adapt to their new roles undercover after a life spent in the spotlight. One photo shows Howard midway through a performance, while the other two snaps show the trio in slightly less glitzy surroundings.

The story originated with filmmaker Colin Trevorrow, who directed Jurassic World and 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion and co-wrote all three movies, including Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, from an idea that he and his writing partner Derek Connolly thought up, with Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen also penning the script. Trevorrow may have...

Review of Harlin’s Action Thriller “The Bricklayer” Does it Live Up to the Promise of a Gripping Espionage Tale?(Photo Credit –IMDb)

What’s Good: Harlin’s dynamic direction and Eckhart’s compelling lead performance elevate the film, delivering thrilling action with well-choreographed fight sequences. The movie’s brisk pace, stunning Greek settings, and a mix of archetypal characters create an engaging experience. The cinematography by Matti Eerikainen and other technical aspects showcase expertise, making it visually appealing.

What’s Bad: Despite its strengths, “The Bricklayer” succumbs to some conventional spy tropes and noticeable conveniences in the plot. Overtly cheesy dialogues hinder the impact, and the central conflict fails to establish a palpable sense of peril, falling short of elevating the stakes required for the genre.

I spent an unhealthy amount of time on conspiracy forums as a kid, so it stands to reason that I grew up with a grim fascination with stories concerning Esp abilities and Mk Ultra experiments. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of media out there that properly explores these fringe concepts and their narrative potential (possibly because the government itself has recognized that most of this research was a gigantic and largely unethical waste of public resources).

That being said, one of my favorite representations of psionic powers and government conspiracies in media comes in the form of Midway Games’ underrated Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. A story-driven third-person shooter from 2004, the title may not have taken the gaming world by storm, becoming overshadowed by other high-profile releases of the time, but it was a lot more influential than most folks give it credit for. That’s why I think this...

Kiefer Sutherland isn’t much for new technology.

The Canadian actor is starring in the new spy thriller series “Rabbit Hole”, premiering March 26 on Paramount+, and he sat down with Et Canada to talk all about it.

Asked if returning to the thriller genre allowed him to do things he wished he could have done on previous projects, Sutherland explained, “There’s no carryover. There’s no experience that I had on ’24’ where I was like, ‘Oh, God, we didn’t get that there, but I’d like to use it down the line and put it in my pocket and save it. That doesn’t really exist.'”

But while he had no specific action beats he’d been itching to do all these years, the actor found the show was able to...

Ian Fleming’s James Bond is one of the most recognizable and successful characters in modern popular culture. The novels have sold over 100 million copies, and the film franchise is the second most successful in history, having been recently displaced by the Harry Potter series. For most readers and viewers, 007 is merely a Western pop icon. However, there is much more at work in the novels and films than appears on the surface. In fact, there are deeper undercurrents, themes, symbols, and messages that operate as psychological warfare propaganda and an in-depth semiotic analysis of the novels and films yields an interpretation that confirms this thesis. Much has been written on the subject of Ian Fleming’s James Bond. From Umberto Eco’s older essay “Narrative Structures in Fleming” to Christoph Linders’ modern collections The James Bond Phenomenon and Revisioning 007: James Bond and Casino Royale,...

Updated with details and quotes: The Sundance Film Festival awards ceremony tonight in Park City saw a dramatic dual decision and strong political voices to put a cap on a hot-deals festival. Like last year, when Whiplash took both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award on its way to an Best Picture Oscar nomination, the much-sought Me And Earl And The Dying Girl took both this year.

“I want to dedicate this to all the young filmmakers in my hometown of Laredo, Texas,” said director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon onstage. Fox Searchlight and Indian Paintbrush teamed to land the pic earlier this week after frenzied bidding, with a 2015 release planned. The Jesse Andrews script follows Greg, who is coasting through senior year of high school as anonymously as possible, avoiding social interactions like the plague while secretly making spirited, bizarre films with Earl, his only friend. But...

Bradford Dillman: A Compulsively Watchable Actor

By Harvey Chartrand

In a career that has spanned 43 years, Bradford Dillman accumulated more than 500 film and TV credits. The slim, handsome and patrician Dillman may have been the busiest actor in Hollywood during the late sixties and early seventies, working non-stop for years. In 1971 alone, Dillman starred in seven full-length feature films. And this protean output doesn’t include guest appearances on six TV shows that same year.

Yale-educated Dillman first drew good notices in the early 1950s on the Broadway stage and in live TV shows, such as Climax and Kraft Television Theatre. After making theatrical history playing Edmund Tyrone in the first-ever production of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night in 1956, Dillman landed the role of blueblood psychopath Artie Straus in the crime-and-punishment thriller Compulsion (1959), for which he...

It was only a matter of time, after Werner Herzog used the under-the-ice Antarctic footage shot by scientists for his hodgepodge sci-fi meditation "The Wild Blue Yonder," until this most peripatetic of world-class filmmakers realized that the Poles may be the only patches of Earth he hasn't yet roamed through with his camera. Herzog's documentaries, from "Land of Silence and Darkness" (1971) to "Grizzly Man" (2005), are all subjective and full-disclosure, all the time; there is a reality in these films, but it is Herzog's, and that's why we're here. "Encounters at the End of the World" (2007) is perhaps more personal than most -- he does not propose any motive for his trip to Antarctica other than his own curiosity, and eventually becomes, by nature, impatient with the large science base he finds there, saying outright that he wants only to get out into the field and find something wondrous that isn't man-made.
