The director, just weeks away from starting shoot on a Jurassic World sequel, was visibly moved with the film’s performance, not only when he took to the stage to collect his Goya for best director, but also when his collaborators on the film did so for the film’s other eight wins of the night, including best cinematography, special effects, sound and production design.
With a box office of $28.6m (€26.5m), A Monster Calls was the biggest film in Spain last year.

In 2013 there was an open call for artists to share their most ambitious ideas with the commissioning body Artangel. Ben River’s application was chosen from amongst 1,500 submissions. The filmmaker—best known for Two Years At Sea (2011) and A Spell to Ward of the Darkness (2013, with Ben Russell)—saw an opportunity to combine a number of ongoing projects in a mutually enlivening fashion. A feature film The Earth Trembles And The Sky Is Afraid And The Two Eyes Are Not Brothers is scheduled for release later in the year. In the meantime, however, elements of its production and of several other productions besides, have been brought together in a singular installation free to view in London until the end of August.One of the most notable features of Ben Rivers’ filmmaking practice is that he hand-processes his own exposed film stock. The resulting images are effervescent with imperfections. His frames...

As he works on multiple film projects, Ray William Johnson--once the man with more subscribers than anyone else on YouTube--has reduced his on-screen role on his personal channel. At the same time, he has built his YouTube hub into a full-on comedy network, with multiple series under the banner of his Equals Three Studios. The latest addition to this lineup is Comedians On, in which funny people deliver riffs on topical subjects.
The first episode of Comedians On takes on a ripe target: Snapchat. The featured comedians at first offer up their best wisecracks on the app’s infamous dick pics, but they ultimately migrate into more didactic territory as they attempt to offer their own witty explanations for Snapchat’s popularity. Johnson appears as one of the comedians, but he’s hardly the focal point. Instead, funnyman Carlos Santos serves as host, and a varied group of personalities provide additional commentary.

Director: Icíar Bollaín Writer: Paul Laverty Starring: Luis Tosar, Gael García Bernal, Karra Elejalde, Carlos Aduviri Even the Rain was made "in memory of Howard Zinn", and it was Zinn whose book A People's History of the United States studiously informed many of us about Christopher Columbus' true legacy of genocide and enslavement. In director Icíar Bollaín's Even the Rain, Sebastián (Gael García Bernal) is the righteously idealist director who shares Zinn's revisionist perspective on Columbus; thus Sebastián has set out to debunk -- by way of the all powerful cinema -- the conservative myths surrounding Columbus' arrival in the Americas. Sebastián cares first and foremost about Columbus' obsession with gold, involvement with slave-trade, and punitive violence against any Indians who refused to convert to Christianity. Sebastián then opts to counter Columbus' story with the tales of two priests -- Bartolomé de las Casas (Raul Arevalo) and Antonio...

Look out for the films that have made this year’s Academy Awards Foreign Language Film category. “Even the Rain” made the short list but was beaten out for an actual nomination — the standard must be high.
What might have stood in its way is the feeling that with this film comes a message, or that a message comes with this film. “Even the Rain” — with a screenplay by the superb Paul Laverty — deals with the trials and, well, further trials of a film crew in Bolivia.
They’re making a movie about Columbus landing in the New World, and the producer Costa (Luis Tosar) is very happy with the abundance of subminimum-wage labor available in the form of the local Indian population.

Speaking before the 118th annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Sharon Lamb, distinguished professor of mental health at the University of Massachusetts said that today's aggressive, emotionally unavailable, detached and self-engrossed macho versions of superheroes like "Iron Man", rarely address the virtue of doing good for humanity unlike the superheroes of yesteryear like Superman and Green Lantern.
Dr. Lamb found that marketing managers take advantage of boys' adolescent need to forge their masculinity by promoting/selling a limited definition of masculinity. Here, Dr. Lamb elaborates that the media message being put across is for boys to either be a "player", i.e., engaging in aggressive, sarcastic violence like today's comic book movie superhero, or a "slacker" that is, a person who gives up on the world and never tries. By psychologically limiting a boys' image of masculinity to only two options, his mental health and social life is put at risk.
