Director tells Screen about the deeply personal approach she has taken with her first documentary
Ukrainian director Olga Chernykh’s debut feature A Picture To Remember, which opens this year’s IDFA in Amsterdam, was supported by the festival’s IDFA Bertha Fund and the European Solidarity Fund for Ukrainian Film.
One of many recent documentaries chronicling the war in Ukraine after the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, it is a deeply personal, essay-style documentary that looks at war and displacement from the perspectives of three generations of women — the director, her mother (a pathologist working in the city morgue) and her grandmother,...

Is nuclear war a suitable subject for comedy? Stanley Kubrick certainly thought so. During his research for his masterful Cold War satire, "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," he came to see comedy as the only sensible way of doing the subject real justice. Having bought the film rights to Peter George's novel, "Red Alert," he started out with the goal of making a serious drama. Yet the more he found out about thermonuclear war and the concept of mutual assured destruction (Mad), the more absurd the whole thing seemed to him. He explained:

Ann Curry will receive the Murrow Lifetime Achievement Award from Washington State University’s Edward R. Murrow College of Communication on April 5.
Curry, who hosted the TNT series Chasing the Cure, worked for NBC News from 1990 to 2015. The university recognized her focus “on human suffering in war zones and natural disasters through her work as an American journalist, photojournalist, and reporter.” She was the first network news anchor to report on the genocide inside Kosovo in 1999, and also visited Sudan three times in 2006 and 2007 to report on the violence and ethnic cleansing in Darfur and Chad.
Bruce Pinkleton, dean of the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, said that Curry’s work “stands as a testament to using communication for the common good.”
“Her courageous and essential reporting on the genocide in Darfur demonstrated a desire to use journalism to better the human condition, to hold those in authority to account,...

Paramount Pictures has released the first official trailer for “Jackass Forever,” the fourth film installment of the bone-smacking prankster comedy franchise pioneered by Johnny Knoxville. Though filming had to shut down for a week due to concerns about Covid-19, “Jackass Forever” is probably the only recent movie to incur more delays from hospitalizations for broken bones than a deadly virus. Just two days into filming, both Knoxville and Steve-o were hospitalized due to on-set injuries. Two days into test filming, and professional skateboarder Aaron “Jaws” Homoki had broken his wrist.
While there likely isn’t much plot to speak of, the official logline for the movie reads: “Forever young and still funny in the head. Celebrating the joy of being back together with your best friends and a perfectly executed shot to the dingdong, the original jackass crew return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd, and often dangerous displays...

Roger Waters and his band have recorded socially distanced performances of two deep cuts from Pink Floyd’s The Wall: “Vera” and “Bring the Boys Back Home,” which both come before “Comfortably Numb” on the double-album.
The renditions are quieter than the Pink Floyd originals, with Waters singing almost mournfully about Vera Lynn, the recently deceased World War II–era singer. But they soon transition into a passionate rendition of “Bring the Boys Back Home,” featuring the women from Lucius on backup vocals. During one moment of reprieve, Waters...

Queen Elizabeth addressed the U.K. on Friday night to mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (Ve) Day — her second major televised speech in just over a month.
In a pre-recorded message from Windsor Castle that aired at 9 p.m. on BBC One, the Queen said she spoke “at the same hour” as her father, George VI, did on May 8, 1945, when the Second World War ended in Europe. Her speech held special significance, coming at a time when the country continues its battle against the coronavirus.
“His message then was a salute to men and women at home and abroad who sacrificed so much,” said the Queen. “The war had been a total war. It had affected everyone. All had a part to play. At the start, the outlook seemed bleak; the end, distant; the outcome, uncertain. But we kept faith that the cause was right.”

Mary Higgins Clark, the prolific author known as the “Queen of Suspense” for her dozens of best-selling suspenseful novels, died Friday in Naples, Fla. She was 92. Publisher Simon & Schuster said Clark died peacefully and surrounded by family.
“It is with deep sadness we say goodbye to the ‘Queen of Suspense’ Mary Higgins Clark, author of over 40 bestselling suspense titles,” the company tweeted.
The writer spent more than four decades as a staple on bestseller lists, and her books sold more than 100 million copies in the U.S. alone. Many of Clark’s novels in her lengthy portfolio were developed into TV films including “The Cradle Will Fall” in 1983, “Moonlight Becomes You” in 1998, and most recently “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” which was adapted into the French production “Ce que vivent les roses.” Higgins Clark was extremely popular in France, where she was honored with the Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.

For the first time in five months, Matt Lauer has broken his silence on being fired from Today over allegations of sexual misconduct. On Thursday, April 26, the former anchor made it known that while he "fully acknowledges acting inappropriately as a husband, father, and principal at NBC," he did commit the crimes he's being accused of. "I want to make it perfectly clear that any allegations or reports of coercive, aggressive, or abusive actions on my part, at any time, are absolutely false," he told the Washington Post. Despite the 60-year-old's desperate attempts to clear his name, however, new allegations from his former co-anchor Ann Curry have now surfaced that paint a different story entirely. In the same Washington Post article, Ann, 61, explained that she was tearfully approached by a woman at Today in 2012 who told her she was "sexually harassed physically" by Matt. "She was afraid of losing her job.

Ann Curry ostensibly appeared on CBS' The Late Show to promote her six-part PBS docu-series, We'll Meet Again—but, to no one's surprise, Stephen Colbert was more interested in discussing her tenure at NBC's Today and her former co-anchor Matt Lauer, who was fired from NBC News in November amid allegations of sexual misconduct. (Lauer quickly apologized for his behavior, although he also maintained that "some" of the allegations were "untrue or mischaracterized.") Colbert claimed brought up reports that Lauer "forced" Curry off Today in 2012, which she declined to confirm or deny. "Mmm," she said. While she signed a nondisclosure agreement, "I can talk.

Ann Curry said she was "not surprised" by "inappropriate sexual behavior" allegations against her former Today co-host Matt Lauer in her first television interview since the scandal occurred.
Speaking to CBS This Morning Wednesday, Curry said, "I can tell you that I am not surprised by the allegations" that led to Lauer's firing in late November 2017.
"I would be surprised if many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed. I think it would be surprising if someone said they didn't see that," Curry added of working at Today.

While Colbert stuck to his usual politically-centered commentary throughout the final episode, we're sure the Comedy Central vet was a little emotional by the end of the show.At least Stephen had a great (and star-studded) support system to help him properly say goodbye...

Could anything be creepier than investigating your own murder? "Castle" makes Lanie and Esposito answer that question when lookalikes are found dead. And the answer is yes: It gets creepier when the shadow of 3Xk looms over the investigation in "Disciple."
Not dead yet
If you recall, the last time we saw 3Xk, aka Jerry Tyson, Castle had just shot the guy over the edge of a bridge, presumably to his death. But the body was never recovered. On television, that is code for "Of course he's alive, you fools!"
And it seems like Jerry is indeed alive and well and staging elaborate murders in order to creep out the detectives of the 12th Precinct.
Tyson has even managed to recruit some messed-up accomplices/disciples. There's Carl Matthews, the security guard who finds the first body on the docks. He's the guy who almost definitely carried out the killings in this particular episode.

Star Wars actor Richard LeParmentier has died, aged 66.
The British actor was best known for playing Admiral Motti in 1977's Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
In one of the film's most iconic scenes, Motti was Force-choked by Darth Vader for insubordination.
The circumstances of the actor's death have yet to be confirmed, TMZ reports.
LeParmentier starred in over 30 films and TV shows during his career, including roles in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Stardust.
He was married to British actress Sarah Douglas from 1981 to 1984, and both appeared in Rollerball, The People That Time Forgot and Superman II.
He also had roles in Octopussy and the TV shows Capital City and We'll Meet Again.
LeParmentier once said of his most famous role: "I did the choking effect by flexing muscles in my neck. It set off a chain of events, that choking.

As we promised, True Blood's "We'll Meet Again" was full of shockers for Bon Temps' supernatural residents -- and even its few remaining mortals too.
Blood was spilled, spit was swapped and a major bombshell was dropped about the death of Sookie's parents.
Spoilers ahead...
Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Alcide finally hooked up! The besotted werewolf might not have scored a home run, but they did make out. Unfortunately, (1) Joe Manganiello didn't take off his shirt; (2) both of Sookie's spurned lovers, Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard), witnessed their smooch session; and (3) because the frisky fairy was drunk, she's going to wake up with a hella hangover and a bitter taste of regret (flavored with Tara's marzipan cocktails). If so, the last remedy she'll seek is the hair of the dog -- or wolf.
So why is Sookie so sloshed? We blame Tara (Rutina Wesley), who unfortunately survived her latest suicide attempt.

True Blood shocked me this week.
Not through any nudity nor any supernatural shenanigans. Quite the opposite, in fact.
"We'll Meet Again" actually made me care about Terry Bellefleur.
Granted, his storyline with Patrick is utterly removed from everything else on the show. And that flashback to events in Iraq felt completely out of place on True Blood, unlike anything else we've seen on the series. But perhaps that's what drew my attention.
Going on five seasons in, I've practically grown numb to all of True Blood's over-the-top action. I barely raise an eyebrow at this point when a nine-year old Authority member gets decimated in one stab and the Guardian gives a chilling speech with that nine-year old's blood dripping down his face.
Been mostly there, done a lot of that.
But the cut to that combat mission actually took me by surprise. It was different and fresh...

Everything is going to change in the wicked world of "True Blood" scene-stealer Pam and the actress who plays her, Kristin Bauer, is opening up about it. Warning: Spoilers for "True Blood" Season 5, Episode 4, entitled "We'll Meet Again," below.
Eric has released Pam. As her maker, he no longer has hold over her, and Bauer revealed to The Huffington Post how difficult that scene was to film.

"It just was so emotional to me and so heartbreaking because he's the only thing that matters to her. He will always be her maker, but the fact that that umbilical cord has been cut, that the baby was pushed out of the nest to learn to fly,...

Singer and philanthropist who was married to Bob Hope for 69 years
The singer Dolores Hope, who has died at the age of 102, was known primarily for her 69-year marriage to the comedian Bob Hope, with whom she performed on television and in concerts for American troops stationed overseas. Growing up in the Bronx, New York, Dolores had always wanted to be a singer. Her husky voice and striking looks quickly brought her regular work under the stage name Dolores Reade (inspired by the Broadway star Florence Reed). In 1933, at the Vogue club in New York, Dolores's rendering of It's Only a Paper Moon captivated Hope, who was a rising Broadway star and performing in the musical comedy Roberta at the time. Hope became a constant visitor to the Vogue thereafter, and the couple married on 19 February 1934. Dolores joined his vaudeville show and they moved to Los Angeles.
She had been born Dolores DeFina in Harlem,...

There are moments in our lives when we realize how cool we truly are. When we score the winning touchdown. When we put down a royal flush after an epic game of poker. When we change a tire on the side of the road because we're Men and we have Balls and our balls are Awesome.
Then there are times we go to nerd conventions, which I totally did two weeks ago.
Now, regular readers know that I do a little cartooning, mostly for fun, but one of my fondest dreams is to create a webcomic, and the inspiration behind that ambition is the ultimate fanboy webcomic, Penny Arcade. About thirteen years ago, two geeky buddies named Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkinswith had a little time on their hands, so they pooled their creative resources – Mike his tooning skills, Jerry his skewering wit – and came up with a geek-culture comic...

British actress Susannah York has died at the age of 72. The star passed away on Saturday, January 15 following a long battle with cancer. Her son Orlando Wells says, "She was an absolutely fantastic mother, who was very down to earth. She was a woman with grace and stature."
"She had advanced bone marrow cancer which she had an operation for. But, last Thursday, she had a scan and then the descent was fast. In the end, her death was painless and quick."
York began her acting career in 1960, starring in "Tunes of Glory" opposite Alec Guinness and John Mills, and went on to appear in movies such as "The Greengage Summer", "A Man for All Seasons", "The Killing of Sister George" and "Battle of Britain".

Remakes fall into two categories, "Wow" and "Why did they bother". Sadly, the "Wow"s are few and far between.
For every Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead or David Cronenberg's The Fly, there's five Gus Van Sant's Psycho. Breck Eisner's The Crazies clearly falls into the "Wow" category. A fast-moving, exciting thrill ride that builds to a flat-out apocalyptic conclusion, this Crazies also has a healthy respect for the George A. Romero original even as it goes off in it's own direction.
David (Timothy Olyphant) is the Sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a small midwestern town. Judy, his doctor wife (Radha Mitchell), is pregnant and everything seems idyllic until a townsperson carries a loaded shotgun to a little league game. From that point on, the two realize the locals of their beloved little town are going insane. Government help is Not helpful, as fighter planes and gun-toting...
