DETAILS ON NEW SEPTEMBER TITLES, COURTESY OF HBO MAX:
From Warner Bros. Pictures comes director/producer Clint Eastwood’s uplifting and poignant drama Cry Macho. Based on the book by the same name, Eastwood stars as a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1979, takes a challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds unexpected connections and his own sense of redemption.
In Malignant, Madison is paralyzed by shocking visions of grisly murders, and her torment worsens as she discovers that these waking dreams are in fact terrifying realities.
Scenes From A Marriage is captivating re-examination of the dilemmas probed by the original, the five-episode limited series, starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, explores love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.
The teaser trailer for Netflix’s The Hand of God is stunning, yet even after watching it a few times it’s difficult to grasp the story. Which, in fact, isn’t necessarily a bad thing as most trailers give away far too much of the plot.
The Hand of God (È stata la mano di Dio) is writer/director Paolo Sorrentino’s most personal feature film. Sorrentino shot the drama in his hometown and when the project was announced in July 2020 he expressed excitement over the idea of returning to Naples 20 years after his first film.
“The Hand of God represents for the first time in my career an intimate and personal film, a novel of formation at once light-hearted and painful. I’m delighted to partake in this adventure with producer Lorenzo Mieli, his company The Apartment and Netflix. The mutual understanding between myself and Teresa Moneo, David Kosse and Scott Stuber from Netflix on the meaning of the film was immediate and dazzling. They made me feel at home, an ideal condition, because this is precisely what this film means to me: going back home,” stated Paolo Sorrentino.
The cast includes Filippo Scotti, Toni Servillo, Teresa Saponangelo, Marlon Joubert, Luisa Ranieri, and Renato Carpentieri. Massimiliano Gallo, Betti Pedrazzi, Biagio Manna, Ciro Capano, Enzo Decaro, Lino Musella, and Sofya Gershevich also star in the drama.
Netflix will release The Hand of God in select theaters in Italy on November 24, 2021. The film will expand in theaters on December 3rd and will be available on Netflix on December 15th.
The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:
From Academy Award-winning writer and director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) comes the story of a boy, Fabietto Schisa, in the tumultuous Naples of the 1980s. The Hand of God is a story full of unexpected joys, such as the arrival of football legend Diego Maradona, and an equally unexpected tragedy. Fate plays its part, joy and tragedy intertwine, and Fabietto’s future is set in motion.
Netflix just launched the official trailer for Nightbooks starring Critics Choice Awards nominee Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) and produced by Sam Raimi. The new trailer introduces Ritter as a witch with a wicked sense of style who holds a young boy (Winslow Fegley) captive and forces him to tell her scary stories.
The fantasy film is based on J.A. White’s book and was directed by David Yarovesky (BrightBurn, The Hive). Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis adapted White’s book for the screen, and Raimi, Romel Adam, Mason Novick, and Michelle Knudsen served as producers. Rob Tapert and Jeanette Volturno executive produced.
Netflix is set to release Nightbooks on Wednesday, September 15, 2021.
White’s Nightbooks was published in 2018 and has picked up numerous awards including the Missouri Association of School Librarians Truman Readers Award, Sunshine State Young Readers Award, Maine Student Book Award, Rhode Island Children’s Book Award, and Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year. White’s also the author of The Thickety and Shadow School book series.
The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:
Alex (Fegley) is a creative boy with a strong passion for writing scary stories. But when he’s labeled weird and rejected for what he likes, he swears he’ll never write again. That’s when an evil witch (Ritter), captures him in her magical apartment in New York City and demands that he tell her a new tale every night if he wants to stay alive. Trapped inside with Lenore, the witch’s spiteful cat watching his every move, Alex meets Yasmin (Lidya Jewett), another young prisoner who has learned how to survive the witch’s wicked whims.
With Yasmin’s help, Alex must learn to embrace what makes him unique — his love for scary stories — and rewrite his own destiny to break them free.
Mark Hamill‘s cameo in The Mandalorian season two’s finale shocked fans who were left wanting all the details on how the appearance of a young Luke Skywalker was pulled off. The upcoming special episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian focuses on Hamill’s surprise return as Luke Skywalker and offers a behind the scenes look at the shooting of the finale.
The new clip from “Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Making of the Season 2 Finale” features footage from the scene as Dave Filoni explains what it felt like filming Mark Hamill’s scene. “You see your crew just staring at Mark and you realize they’re remembering what it meant to them. And you realize that you’ve been a part of constructing something that’s giving that experience to people, this good feeling which, fundamentally, Star Wars should deliver a good feeling, an uplifting feeling, in you and your family, your kids, whatever,” says Filoni.
The special Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian episode will air on August 25, 2021 on Disney+ and will explore the technology used to bring Luke Skywalker back.
Disney+ issued the following description of the “Making of the Season 2 Finale” special episode along with the release of a few new behind-the-scenes photos:
“In last year’s Season 2 finale of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the appearance of a young Luke Skywalker was one of the biggest reveals and best-kept secrets of the acclaimed show thus far. Reaction to the episode was emotionally charged for many, deeply resonating with generations of fans who were elated to see the Jedi Master in his post-Return of the Jedi prime. The story of the cutting-edge technology used to bring Luke back is the subject of a special extra episode of Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian, debuting August 25 on Disney+.
‘Making of the Season 2 Finale’ is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this celebrated ‘chapter’ of The Mandalorian, with a focus on the technology used for recreating Luke Skywalker. It delves into the collaborative process, including working with Mark Hamill, to create an authentic and fitting recreation, and explores the immense pressure and responsibility the filmmakers had in bringing back one of the most important characters in film history.”
Warner Bros. Pictures’ Reminiscence is a detective story with a sci-fi twist, a dystopian tale in which time isn’t a one-way stream and it’s possible to relive the best moments of your life via special technology. With the idea of accessing the past as the jumping off point, writer/director Lisa Joy weaves a complex story full of startling twists.
Reminiscence takes place in a post-apocalyptic world in which oceans have overtaken cities and temperatures have soared to a point where human inhabitants have been forced to become nocturnal. The rising sea levels have made much of Miami uninhabitable, and only one-percenters can afford living in the Dry Lands – areas surrounded by dams that keep the water at bay.
Nick Bannister (Hugh Jackman) lives and works in the flooded area, operating a business that allows clients to step into a tank, strap on electrodes, and slip away into memories of happier times. Along with his platonic partner Watts (Thandiwe Newton), Nick uses this technology originally created for interrogations to provide brief moments of respite from the suffering and hardship of life in a world gone mad.
The technology requires Nick to act as a guide to prompt each client into the right frame of mind to bring up a memory. Once retrieved, Nick and Watts are witnesses to these very private, personal memories that play out like movies on a special stage.
Nick’s world is spun off its axis when a stunning woman seeking the location of her lost keys requests a session in the tank. Mae (Rebecca Ferguson) is absolutely striking and Nick is instantly ensnared after only a brief exchange of words. He’s caught up watching her memories come alive and uses the return of earrings she left behind as an excuse to seek her out at The Cotton Club.
The two begin a passionate relationship and Nick falls head over heels for the sultry singer. Watts, on the other hand, recognizes a femme fatale when she sees one and when Mae suddenly disappears, she urges Nick to move on with his life. He can’t. Nick’s incapable of forgetting Mae and becomes obsessed with discovering why she left.
Nick’s search for answers leads him down a rabbit hole and into the world of drug dealers, crooked cops, and murder.
Lisa Joy’s noir, post-apocalyptic thriller offers a unique twist on a detective story with the use of recorded videos of key memories as investigative tools. Nick’s pursuit of Mae plunges the detective into a downward spiral and into repeated use of the tank to recall details from each of the days he spent with Mae before she mysteriously disappeared. The memories propel Nick forward in his investigation in a completely unexpected but logical way; writer/director Joy does not bend the rules she’s set forth in unraveling the twisted, non-linear story.
Lisa Joy’s auspicious directorial debut is a gorgeous production and is in many ways reminiscent of Westworld which she co-created with her husband, Jonathan Nolan. The production design, score, and visual effects are effective in establishing this water-logged world.
Much of the exposition delivered by Jackman’s Nick seems to be written as an homage to classic crime films of the ’40s and ’50s. It’s effective but a little overdone, and Jackman’s narration at times sounds eerily like Rod Serling’s introduction of The Twilight Zone episodes. It’s unclear if it was meant to remind of us Serling, but either way it’s jarring.
At its core, Reminiscence is a love story. Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Ferguson sizzle, and the film’s at its best when it focuses on their relationship.
Joy wisely sought out Westworld star Thandiwe Newton to play Watts, a badass with a heart of gold who keeps her true feelings hidden for much of the film. Newton and Jackman make the partnership between Watts and Nick feel as though they’ve been part of each other’s lives for decades. Joy also brought in Westworld’s Angela Sarafyan in a pivotal role, and Sarafyan’s terrific in her limited time on screen.
Two twist-filled thrillers open on August 20, 2021, but only one tells a cohesive story worth investing time and money to watch. The Night House delivers a significant amount of chills and features one of the best performances of 2021 (delivered by Rebecca Hall), but the complex series of twists laid out over the film’s first two acts are wasted by a dreadful third act. Lisa Joy’s Reminiscence actually connects the dots in a satisfying manner.
GRADE: B
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sexual content, drug material throughout, some strong language, and strong violence
Release Date: August 20, 2021 in theaters and HBO Max

Gordon Ramsay’s popular competitive cooking series MasterChef has earned a 12th season renewal order from Fox. The official renewal announcement confirmed chef Ramsay, chef Aarón Sánchez, and restaurateur Joe Bastianich are returning as judges.
“Obviously, Gordon is a good friend and, given the recent launch of Studio Ramsay Global, an important part of FOX’s programming and growth strategy,” stated Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, FOX Entertainment. “MasterChef, Gordon, Aarón and Joe, and our fantastic partners at ESNA, have been vital to FOX’s DNA. Even in its eleventh season, this show continues to impress by sustaining FOX’s success on Wednesdays this Summer. We anticipate this momentum to continue next year when MasterChef returns for a much deserved Season 12.”
The current season of MasterChef – MasterChef: Legends – premiered on June 2, 2021 and airs on Wednesdays at 8pm ET/PT. Tonight’s new episode, “Cook for Your Legend,” finds Chef Ramsay challenging the home cooks to “create a dish for the most important legend yet – their own personal legends. Their personal legends could be someone they look up to, a personal hero, or even a family member who inspires them.”
MasterChef‘s renewal is a no-brainer as season 11 has been averaging 5 million viewers. The one-two punch of MasterChef and Crime Scene Kitchen hosted by Joel McHale has helped Fox rank #1 on six out of eight Wednesdays this summer.
MasterChef is produced by Endemol Shine North America and One Potato Two Potato. Ramsay, Elisabeth Murdoch, Natalka Znak, Danny Schrader, Pat Llewellyn, Ben Adler, Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre, and Shyam Balsé serve as executive producers.
