A girl holding an eagle is a cool image, and that’s pretty much the point of The Eagle Huntress, a family-friendly documentary that’s been charming viewers throughout its festival run. The film picks up the story of Aisholpan, a thirteen-year-old training in the male-dominated world of eagle hunting. She’s learning the skill from her father, and in doing so the pair are breaking the traditional patriarchal lineage.
The Supreme Court of the United States unanimously ruled in favor of Richard and Mildred Loving in 1967, overturning their conviction in the state of Virginia and effectively legalized interracial marriage across the nation. The court’s decision can hardly be considered a spoiler for Loving, though, as the case has regained national attention in recent years. The Loving’s outcome established that the rights of liberty and equality can be applied to marriage in the U.
John Wick is returning to satiate your action needs, following up the 2014 series opener John Wick with the simply titled John Wick: Chapter 2. A third film is already in development, so get your bets in early for whether the series will retain its uniform names.

A few days ago the trailer for a new film called Army of One dropped. The film was directed by Larry Charles whose credits include Sasha Baron Cohen films Borat, Bruno and The Dictator. Army of One stars Nicolas Cage who in recent years seems to have become a bit of a joke, even though he has always done interesting work.
‘90s nostalgia is in full swing, and with that comes a reboot of the so-terrible-it’s-good television series Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. To many, myself included, the series is a goofy relic of childhood, a cheap mashup of footage from a Japanese superhero program with California teen clichés. With memories of the original series firmly intact, this teaser leaves me wondering where the hell the Power Rangers are.
America should be done beating around the bush when it comes to race relations, but unfortunately many barriers still exist to open dialogue. That makes the honest language used in Get Out both striking and welcome. This is a movie about the horror of subjugation, but it’s not presented in a tidy biopic or a gritty drama.
It’s not easy to keep a series alive for five films, especially when it’s based on something as slight as an amusement park ride. Yet here we are with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, thanks in no small part to the swashbuckling weirdness that is Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow.

The first televised presidential debate in America took place in 1960, pitting the tanned and dapper John F. Kennedy against the sallow and literally sick Richard Nixon. It was a tumultuous time for the country, with each candidate taking tough questions ranging from the cold war to civil rights issues.
Talk about a project with some serious credentials. Having Denzel Washington and Viola Davis involved is enough to get most people hyped for a substantial drama, but Fences comes with much more behind it. The film is based on the play of the same name by August Wilson, which in the ‘80s had James Earl Jones in the lead, won a slew of Tony Awards, and landed Wilson his first Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Advertising is one of the driving forces alongside film that is keeping cinemas alive. I analysed how general advertisements are being handled within cinemas in an earlier article titled “Cinematic Advertisements: Forgotten Potential?
In the world of movies, you should never go home. It rarely goes well, and even if you do attain some measure of pathos, it comes at great cost. Jack doesn’t have much choice in Jack Goes Home; you have to attend your father’s funeral, but if your mother is horror fixture Lin Shaye, you should really know better.
A man named Paterson living in a town called Paterson seems quaint, like a small oddity you brush by on a road trip. It’s certainly not something you stop for, but then writer/director Jim Jarmusch rarely stops for the obvious thing. Many of Jarmusch’s films, which are considered exemplary of the American independent scene, ignore traditional plot structures, but Paterson seems to be taking things to a tranquil extreme.
