"“When the bats fly low and night’s in the sky, Universal Studios are at their best.” That’s how a critic in the 1930s described the magic of Universal monster movie. This was a genre that the studio essentially invented - enabling it to survive and thrive–and that led to cinematic classics that continue to influence entertainment of all kinds.Now, from Universal itself, comes a lavishly illustrated book that provides the words and image ..."
"Cassie McKinney has always believed in the Hive. Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers. Even hackers --- like Cassie's dad --- were powerless against it. But then the Hive came."
"Anne Rice’s The Feast of All Saints is a tale set in 1840’s New Orleans about "free people of color", who formed their own class at a time when the predominant role of blacks in society was as slaves. The film focuses on the ordeal of one young man named Marcel Ste. Marie (Ri’chard), who searches for the truth about his heritage. As he finds his individual path into the future, Marcel is fully aware that he is a child of African and Eur ..."
"Sobald eine Serie neues Territorium betreten hat, stellt sich die Frage, wo es danach hin geht. L Word von Showtime, in dem es um die Beziehungen inerhalb einer Gruppe Lesbierinnen in Los Angeles geht, hat durch die schlauen und witzigen Geschichten und die realistischen Charaktere viele Herzen gewonnen. Staffel zwei bietet noch mehr davon, dazu einige Gastauftritte und Experimente in Sachen Erzählstil und Musik. In dieser Staffel stell ..."
"Vier Jahre nachdem der Fernsehsender Showtime schwule Männer zum Dreh- und Angelpunkt seiner Serie "Queer as Folk" machte, war es Zeit für eine kleine Wende durch L Word. Dieses Drama, das sich mit einer stark verwurzelten Gruppe von Lesben in Los Angeles beschäftigt, war sowohl in Sachen Stil als auch Inhalt weit von seinem männlichen Arbeiterklasse-Gegenstück entfernt. Während die Männer von "Queer as Folk" ein tolles, wenn auch melod ..."
"For a "fear of flying" group onboard a jumbo 747, the friendly skies are about to turn deadly. When turbulence disables the crew, a sadistic terrorist takes over, leaving it up to a cool-headed contorller to get them down alive."
"Magloire Dazincourt, the owner of Bontemps, the largest sugar plantation of the entire South, asks his favorite cousin, Philippe Ferronaire, to marry his daughter Aglae Dazincourt and take over most of its management and family, including his colored mistress Cecile Ste. Marie, for whom he has a cottage build in New Orleans. When Magloire dies, Philippe becomes her lover and the father -not in law- of her son Marcel, named after his own ..."
"Adrian Lynes grelles Märchen über eine Tänzerin, die sich ihren Lebensunterhalt.tagsüber als Schweißerin verdient, passt wunderbar in die Ära der von Soundtracks getriebenen Big Budget-Produktionen der 80er Jahre wie Footlose und Top Gun. Angetrieben von Giorgio Moroders stampfendem, der neuen Sportart der achtziger Jahre -- Aerobic -- angepasstem Soundtrack ist Flashdance abwechselnd übertrieben fröhlich und total gezwungen. Die dünne ..."
"Nicolas Cage is perfectly cast in this devious black comedy of a New York literary agent whose latest one-night stand lands him in bed with vampire Jennifer Beals, who takes a big, bloody bite out of his identity. The emotionally unstable executive develops an aversion to sunlight, a fear of crosses, and a sudden appetite for cockroaches (not to mention a sadistic pleasure in tormenting hapless secretary Maria Conchita Alonso), but is i ..."
"Rock star Sting plays the mad scientist and Jennifer Beals lends her dynamic presence as his supreme creation, THE BRIDE. This spectacular movie follows Frankenstein's creations as they look for their place in the world-- the gorgeous Eva (Beals) by declaring her sexual independence, and her grotesque mate Viktor (Clancy Brown) by learning self-worth from a compassionate circus dwarf (David Rappaport). Can Sting survive when the monster ..."
"Before Daniel Day-Lewis starred in Steven Spielberg's eponymous big screen film, this superb made-for-tv movie was arguably the most rewarding dramatization of the 16th (and greatest) American president's tempestuous, tragic, yet loving relationship with long-suffering wife Mary Todd (played intriguingly against type here by probably too beautiful Jennifer Beals). Sam Waterston stars as The Great Emancipator, in a role he was seemingly ..."
"Obwohl sich die Kritiker darüber ergingen, dass es sich hier um den stilistisch eindrucksvollsten und intelligentesten Krimi seit vielen Jahren handele, fand diese Adaption von Walter Mosleys Roman aus dem Jahre 1995 nie die Beachtung eines größeren Publikums. Das ist schade, denn Carl Franklins Film ist beinahe in jeglicher Hinsicht perfekt: von seinem bildgewaltigen, von Schatten geprägten Look bis zu seiner Darstellung des Lebens der ..."
"Based on a flop Broadway play, this film was made for Showtime but given a theatrical release, with not much more success than the stage version. Still, it's an intriguing idea, even if the dramaturgy tends toward the didactic. The jumping-off point here is the scientific discovery that homosexuality is genetic--and that the gene can be detected in prenatal testing. This disrupts the Gold family, where Dad (Garry Marshall) barely tolera ..."

"This is a low-key gem that is at once about the power of dreams, the power of suggestion, and the tyranny of artistic vision (when there really isn't one to fight for). This disarming comedy by director Alexandre Rockwell was a hit at the Sundance Festival but barely registered commercially. Steve Buscemi stars as a hard-luck case: Adolpho, a wanna-be filmmaker with a phone-book-sized screenplay and no money. He lives in a hellish Lower ..."
