A strange and tall glimmering monolith, akin to the ones which mysteriously appeared in 2020, has popped up in Gass Peak, a hiking area in the Nevada desert just about an hour north of Las Vegas. It looks like it’s from another world, with the glimmering rectangular prism's reflective surface imitating the vast desert landscape surrounding the mountain peak where it has been erected. Where did the object come from? Is it an art installation? An elaborate prank? Is Daft Punk preparing a comeback? Or is someone just a really huge fan of Arthur C. Clark’s short story ‘The Sentinel’ and Stanley Ku...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Hollywood's alleged "wokeness" is a frequent target for right-wing commentators and politicians. But for the tiny Utah-based movie studio behind last year's huge breakout hit film "Sound of Freedom," it is a lucrative gap in the market. "Hollywood is just this bubble. They're not connected with the average person," said Angel Studios co-founder Jordan Harmon. "We make movies for the other 90 percent," he told AFP. Co-founded by four Mormon brothers, Angel Studios rocked Hollywood last July with its wildly successful thriller about a vigilante who takes on a child sex traffi...

Few European nations are as impacted by the refugee crisis as Greece – the first port of call for many hoping to reach Europe.

Starting with an icebreaker: Did you know that 'Super Freaky Girl' by Nicki Minaj is apparently the most popular song on peoples' sex playlists? And in other, no-less serious news, Taylor Swift announced the end of her Eras Tour (something you can experience secondhand here) while Brits also went crazy for a tiny ceramic goat made by King Charles III 55-years-ago. What we're trying to say is, it's been a weird time. And our emotions are all over the place (we blame Inside Out 2), so it's probably best we just dive into this week's recommendations.

For decades, it seemed that Pixar couldn't lose. Starting with "Toy Story" in 1995, the Emeryville-based computer animation studio rolled out hit after hit, with movies that achieved critical acclaim as well as box office riches. But after the COVID-19 pandemic struck, even the once-unflappable Pixar fell victim to the doldrums plaguing the entertainment industry and the company's own missteps. Films such as "Lightyear" did poorly at the box office, partly due to their timing during the pandemic and a perceived falloff in quality, for which Pixar had long been considered the gold standard. Par...

When it was announced that German director Julia von Heinz was going to adapt Australian novelist Lily Brett’s semi-autobiographical novel “Too Many Men”, there was every reason to be excited. Coming off the back of her Venice-premiering Antifa thriller Und morgen die ganze Welt (And Tomorrow The Entire World), von Heinz seemed like the ideal fit for Brett’s novel, a moving, insightful and often comic chronicle of how Ruth, an American businesswoman, brings her father Edek, an Auschwitz survivor, back to Poland to face the past to better confront the future. The 1999 book stands as a thoughtfu...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The producers of the James Bond movies will receive honorary Oscars at a ceremony this November, the Academy said Wednesday, as anticipation swells for the announcement of who will next play 007. Half-siblings Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have controlled the beloved espionage franchise since 1995's "Goldeneye," having been passed the reins by Broccoli's father Albert. They have overseen several of the series' biggest-ever movies including the $1 billion-grossing "Skyfall" in 2012, in which Daniel Craig played the suave British spy with a license to kill. The award...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Will Smith marked his first major film hit since his infamous Oscars slap as "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" debuted atop the North American box office, in a sign audiences are ready to welcome back the actor. Sony's fourth installment of the action comedy series took home an estimated $56 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported, making it a major step in Smith's career rehabilitation after he slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards in 2022. "Bad Boys is in elite company and the series has room to run. These are excellent numbers," said analyst David A. Gross of Fr...
