Movie Review: ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’ Excites With Showmanship, Drama

Movie Review: 'Magic Mike's Last Dance' Excites With Showmanship, Drama

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7 (UPI) — The Magic Mike franchise has come a long way from the 2012 film inspired by Channing Tatum's experience as a stripper to acting.

Magic's Last Dance , which hits theaters Friday, is the perfect combination of Tatum's dance moves and showmanship.

Mike lost his furniture business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was a fitting way to prepare him for new opportunities. While bartending at a party hosted by Maxandra (Salma Hayek Pino), a guest tells her about Mike's previous job.

Max convinces Mike to give him one last dance, but Mike is so nice that he convinces him to return to London, where he owns a theatre. Max gives Mike the right to host a dance show, which challenges him and complicates their romance.

Mike's private lap dance for Max convinces viewers that there is more juice in this franchise. He began remodeling the space for his performance and testing the equipment he would later rely on.

Tatum, like Mike, gets really excited when he gets close enough to Max to be intimate, but never kisses or makes out. Together they create a sexual desire and can be seen to provide much needed release – in a way that is physically and emotionally safe.

Hayek plays the role of the erotic Ginger Rogers. He also does a bit of dancing, but it's more of a fiery reaction than an addition to Tatum's choreography.

Mike and Max sleep together and it's honest. Mike doesn't do this with every client, and Max keeps Mike in the dark about his plans until he takes him to the theater.

This leads to a fairly standard "put on a show" story, but the vibe of the film's dancers should surpass the moves that fans of the first two films have seen.

The dancers Mike brings together in London are impressive. They never become backstage characters, but they pull off his choreography impressively.

As auditions and rehearsals progressed, the show began to take shape. Mike isn't on the show, but he still has to play to show newcomers how it's done.

Max's radical new ideas run into trouble when Max and Mike run into obstacles. They are chosen as much as possible and luckily some of them are chosen by jumping.

The problems in Max and Mike's relationship are not so obvious. Max has an unfinished business history and his impending divorce is complicated by a prenuptial agreement.

Mike makes peace with London snobs and meets Max's daughter Jaydee (Jemelia George). Zadie is skeptical about mom's new toy, but Max's butler Victor (Ayub Khan Din) seems even worse.

The show that Mike is doing is really cool. He has a lot to say about feminism and desire, all with an epic dance number.

The Last Dance is Mike's solo show. It's about the four dancers from the previous two films, and luckily they're fine, but they'll be missed.

They're calling it Magic Mike's Last Dance, but instead of wrapping up the trilogy, it might be " Fast Five " that takes the franchise in a bold new direction. Magic Mike could be a series where Mike fills his company with new members and builds more and more ambitious shows with each sequel.

‘Fawlty Towers Reboot In The Works With John Cleese, Camilla Cleese & Rob Reiners Castle Rock Entertainment

‘Fawlty Towers Reboot In The Works With John Cleese, Camilla Cleese & Rob Reiners Castle Rock Entertainment

© Submitted by deadline

The return of Basil Fawlty. A reboot of John Cleese's British comedy Fawlty Towers is in development, and Rob Reiner's Castle Rock Entertainment is in development.

More than 40 years after the end of the second and final season, Monty Python star Cleese will co-write and direct with his daughter Camilla Cleese in a remake that will delight generations of British comedy fans.

The new series will explore how Cleese-hating, cynical and gay Basil Fawlty navigates the modern world. Plot details have largely been kept under wraps, but the development will push the story forward to explore Basil's relationship with a princess he's just discovered, as the pair defy fate and get together… run a small hotel.

The Cleese family partnered with Rainer's Castle Rock in development, with Rainer, Michelle Rainer, Derek Rossi and Matthew George serving as executive producers.

John Cleese praised George's "understanding" of the "creative process" and described their first meeting as "one of the best creative sessions I can remember".

Rob Reiner added: “John Cleese is a comedy legend. Just the thought of working with him makes me laugh', while George described meeting John and Camilla Cleese as 'one of the greatest thrills of my life'.

Castle Rock is currently working on another sequel to the popular British hit This is Spinal Tap, as well as the 2017 sequel Wind River. The Next Chapter

Despite only running two six-part seasons and ending in 1979, Fawlty Towers has been at the top of many lists of the best British comedies of all time.

Written by Cleese and Connie Booth, the show follows hapless hotel manager Fault and a hilarious cast that includes legendary Spanish butler Manuel (Andrew Sacks), Cleese's oppressive wife Sybil (Prunella Scales) and his maid Polly, played by Booth.

The idea came from Cleese, who was living in a hotel in an English seaside town, and the show defined the "Middle English" genre.

Fawlty Towers is currently broadcast on BBC Two and is available on BritBox.

Cleese, whose credits include Monty Python, A Fish Called Wanda and Shrek, has become a cult warrior in recent years. He recently criticized the BBC for not broadcasting reruns of Monty Python , a claim that has been denied. He is making a documentary for Channel 4 about the culture of abandonment and plans to host the right-wing British network GB News, which will campaign for freedom of expression.

Cleese is repped by CAA and Anonymous Content. Camilla Cleese Weintraub portrays Tobin Chedyak Coleman Grodin.

‘Knock At The Cabin’ Review: M. Night Shyamalan Knocks Again With BMovie Thrills

'Knock At The Cabin' Review: M. Night Shyamalan Knocks Again With BMovie Thrills

Qat! Who is there? Why, it's M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin – another great movie moment.

Since Shyamalan's breakthrough The Sixth Sense gave us the unforgettable "I see dead" line, the writer-director has specialized in telling stories with a simple, brutal catch designed to throw you off balance and off your guard. After watching, slow down. In his latest film, Knock on the Cabin, now in cinemas, Paul J. Tremblay's novel La Cabane du bout du monde is based on a chilling premise. What would you sacrifice to save the world?

With a quiet January opening still dominated by Avatar: The Last Airbender's "Water Road ," Knock on the Cabin is a small movie with big ideas. He faces the greatest stakes in the apocalypse, but is caught in a brutally intimate microcosm.

Little Wayne (Kristen Koo) is relaxing in a secluded cabin when a gigantic man in a menacing shirt (Dave Bautista) emerges from the woods and hints at a terrifying proposal. Wayne and his foster parents Eric and Andrew (Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge) find themselves besieged by a group of fanatics driven by nightmares.

Few films use this setting as a jumping off point for survival horror, in which a family is forced to fend off strange invaders in heart-wrenching, poignant sequences. But the story takes a different turn, one that is more distinct and disturbing. The bastards are both apologetic and apologetic, offering their competition with quiet politeness.

Dave Bautista is great as the leader of a group of insolent sociopaths. It's a looming monolith, a physical nightmare whose complexity makes its sensibility all the more chilling. He's more menacing here than Specter 's one-dimensional, muscle-bound villain, and he builds on the silent, scene-stealing vulnerability we saw in Blade Runner 2049 .

Rupert Grint (former Harry Potter star in Shyamalan's latest Apple TV Plus series) also excels as the twisted, quivering redhead, adding a dose of brutal instability. Nikki Amuka-Bird and Abby Quinn have smaller roles, but add heart and even some laughs amidst the growing horror.

On the surface, Knock at the Cabin is a chilling horror story that puts you in the shoes of a kidnapped family. From the room's patio doors wide open carelessly to the moment Dad is cooped up in his pajamas, the family is helpless. Wouldn't having a small child cover the parents up (especially if they'd read the book)?

The gruesome side of the story is unfortunate, but Shyamalan seems to be pulling his punches. As with Shyamalan's other recent work, the turbulent atmosphere is reminiscent of Legacy and Get Out. But he's not attached to the villain that gives these movies their shocking bite.

Likewise, the sheer simplicity of the structure will not complement the overall flow of the film. We get flashbacks to Eric and Andrew's relationship that flesh out their characters and help you relate to them. But the flashbacks are perhaps the most embarrassing part of the movie. While it's gratifying to see two people fall in love and support each other's struggles, it's not always as interesting (or at least not as interesting as trying to escape a relentless weirdo in a dungeon). This backstory adds an intriguing and complex twist, but never really allows for development because the characters involved disappear from the story far too soon.

Told sparingly and sparingly, Knock on the Cabin gives us plenty of room to think about the deeper global issues raised by Desperate Dilemma. He is confronted with the reality of a world going to hell and our power to stop it. And unlike the wry tone of Adam McKay's apocalyptic satire Don't Look For Shyamalan, Shyamalan's film more accurately conveys the responsibility we all bear for the future of our planet. At the end of the day, that's the quandary we're left with. What sacrifices must our generation make so that our children have a world to live in?

And of course, since The Sixth Sense, we've been conditioned to expect a twist ending. Shyamalan's latest movie, the beach-set Shocker Old, stripped some of the genre away with a very literal ending that says it all. Cleverly, dings in the cabin make it all the more mysterious.

M Night Shyamalan deserves admiration for consistently producing tense, boring B-movies with great ideas. Saloon beating may not be as nerve-wracking as similar horror stories, but Shyamala's punch is more than welcome when it comes to knocking.

Knock on the cabin… (Review)

The 41-year-old pop star made history by winning Best Dance/Electronic Album for her latest album, Renaissance.

This brings the number of Grammys he has won in his two-decade career to 32, surpassing the previous record set by Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti.

Meanwhile, the biggest gong of the night – album of the year – went to Harry Styles for his third album Harry's House, beating out Beyoncé and Adele.

Marvel Snap Featured And Hot Locations Explained

Marvel Snap Featured And Hot Locations Explained

The second developer dinner offers plenty of incentive to stay involved with Marvel Snap, especially with hot and popular spots. These in-game events make certain locations more likely to appear, motivating players to change their tables. But what are Favorites and Hotspots and when do they start? Here's what you need to know.

Decent location

Featured locations are the Marvel Snap events, which introduce multiple new locations at a faster pace. A new spot with 40 % of the audience premiered at the event. An example is Plunder Castle, where you can only play cards that cost 6 energy. "Special Places" airs every Tuesday at 10pm ET and runs for 48 hours .

Now Playing: The Best Mobile Games of 2022

After the 48 hour period, the featured locations will be combined into a regular location pool with the possibility of appearing in the regular game. So even after the "Recommended Position" period has expired, it's a good idea to know the position in order to adjust whether or not it's displayed during gameplay.

Hot location

Hot spots are similar, but 60% of the time they focus only on regular pools. This means that you won't find new locations when hot locations are available, but instead you'll see locations that appear in regular games, such as Onslaught Citadel, Asgard, or Hala (among dozens of others). Hot Locations airs live on Saturdays at 10pm EST and runs for 24 hours only. Therefore, they have a higher view rate than selected countries, but only include countries you know.

It's important to at least know the highlights and common traits so you can build your deck around them or plan your matches. Even if you have a solid deck, you can easily miss certain points if you don't know how they work.

For example, if the hot spot is Luke's Bar (if you play a card here, return it to your hand), you'll want to equip a card with some type of effect that triggers every time it's played, like Scorpion or Iceman. . . Knowing this can turn the game in your favor.

For more information on deck building around the Arpila Castle location, visit our guide here.

The products discussed here were independently selected by our editors. GameSpot may share revenue if you purchase something on our site.

The CFO As Change Manager: Mastering The 21st Century Finance Role

The CFO As Change Manager: Mastering The 21st Century Finance Role

While CFOs face relatively new challenges and responsibilities in the 2020s, from corporate sustainability to digital transformation, they need to learn a deeper and broader truth: The expectations of CFOs have risen almost beyond recognition over the past few decades, requiring a change in mindset. not just new skills. I recently spoke with Robert Bendetti, CFO of Lifecycle Engineering and founder of the Global Finance Council, which helps CFOs share knowledge on how to approach and excel in their jobs in the 21st century.

Jeff Thompson. As the CFO of Life Cycle Engineering, you will be responsible for all of the company's financial operations, including accounting, finance, contracts, purchasing, security, equipment, process automation, and IT. The CFO is expected to play at least some role in all of these areas, but this requires adaptation and development of the skills of more traditional financial leaders. How do you see the CFO role evolving and diversifying throughout your career, and how are you changing with it? What lessons do you have for other CFOs?

Robert Bendetti. When I graduated, the CFO role was all about transactions and background. Now the CFO role is focused on transformation and the future. We are the main future officers. To be successful in the future, CFOs must be experts in change management. Certifications such as CMA [Certified Management Accountant] and Lean Six Sigma training can help you become more efficient and accelerate your career. But to significantly increase the effectiveness of your change management projects, you need to master the human side of change.

I have had success using Proschi's ADKAR model to manage the human side of change. ADKAR stands for awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and empowerment;

A – Awareness of the need for change.

D – Willingness to participate and support change.

K – Knowledge of change.

A – Ability to practice desired skills and behaviors.

R – Reinforcement to support change.

We need to support the people in the organization as they transition from the current state to the future and understand what it takes to get each person to embrace and embrace change. In this way, organizations can significantly increase the chances of project success and the return on their investment in the project.

Thomas: Process automation and IT are of particular importance to finance, given the trend towards automation of low-level finance tasks and the growing importance of understanding technology issues for finance managers. What technology areas are of greatest interest to future finance and accounting professionals? How should accounting programs and departments better prepare their employees for these technological trends?

Bendetti All businesses are going digital, and CFOs must stay at the forefront of technology. Two areas that I am personally interested in are data analytics and process automation. I'm still in the early stages of becoming an advanced user of tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Amazon QuickSight. But I'm really amazed at the power of these tools to analyze, visualize, extract and share results to manage results in real time.

I am also fascinated by process automation and its impact over the past 20 years. The commercial area (accounting, human resources, purchasing, etc.) was barely recognizable from the start. Process automation, robotic process automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing business. But it is important to remember Peter Drucker's famous saying: "There is nothing more useless than doing effectively what should not be done at all." Don't use RPA to automate tasks that shouldn't be done. Use Lean Six Sigma principles to reduce waste and variance; then automate what's left.

Thomas: With so many changes and disruptions, it's more important than ever that CFOs work together to share ideas and experiences. That is why you are not only the CFO of Life Cycle Engineering, but also the founder of the Global Finance Council. What made you return to the financial profession? What are the benefits of networking and information sharing for CFOs?

Bendetti Global Finance Council is an educational and networking forum for financial leaders. The purpose of the Global Board of Financial Directors is to provide an educational and networking forum for Senior Financial Officers (SFEs) to share best practices, discuss current finance issues and learn about current challenges in doing their jobs. He is a member of the Board of Global Financial Directors [SFE], including the Chief Financial Officer, Comptroller, Vice President of Finance and Treasurer. I started a few years ago and now we have 1500 members in 30 countries.

I consider myself a lifelong student. I like learning new things and meeting new people. In-person and virtual meetings allow me to connect and learn from industry experts. Mahatma Gandhi said that "the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." This is a small way to serve the financial community.

Movie Review So Cold The River (2022)

Movie Review  So Cold The River (2022)

Here's how cold the river will be in 2022.

Paul Schulberg wrote the screenplay and directed it.
Starring: Bethany Joy Lentz, Alicia Reiner, Katie Sariff, Andrew Jay West, Deanna Dunagan, Aaron Roman Weiner and Kevin Cahoon.

Syntax :

A documentary filmmaker investigates the town's mysterious benefactor and discovers an unexplained evil while staying at a local resort.

Fortunately, the river is not that cold at all. At its center is steamy drama, flashy set design (apparently one of the most expensive films ever made in Indiana), and a mysterious supernatural aquatic conspiracy that looks straight out of Gore Verbinski's The Health Cure . , as both films deal with haunted and unsettling places full of question marks and gothic horror.

It's also interesting that writer/director Paul Schulberg wrote the Michael Korita novel of the same name (which was also adapted into last year's Angelina Jolie vehicle, They Want Me Dead), and he wrote the book six years before the movie. Going out.

The concept of magic water isn't exactly new though. However, it's done very skillfully, whether it's the design of the jet skis, which in part prompt our hero to travel to this haunted city, the vast circular hotel that looks like an entire world, or the ominous lighting. There is always an interesting story that is both encouraging and confusing.

Unfortunately, that same level of detailed world-building doesn't necessarily translate into characters or the larger story, which is sometimes exciting and sometimes clichéd. It also doesn't help that when the story comes to a head, it stalls and ends in a confusing and frustrating way.

Erica Shaw (Bethany Joy Lentz), based on an acclaimed documentary filmmaker known for her dark depictions of human life, leaves that career after the failure of one of her previous roles. Or rather, he saw the darkness in the man while filming, then kept quiet, giving him the guilt trip he has today.

However, he changes his mind when Alyssa Bradford-Cohen (Alicia Reiner) spends an absurd amount of money talking about her dead billionaire father, who is connected to his distant city and unfinished business. When Erica arrives, the atmosphere is quite tense as the characters drop the conversation just by mentioning the rich man. Erica also contacts the man's great-nephew (Andrew J. West), who has found no future outside the city and now works at a rundown hotel.

This is also where So Cold the River veers into awkward territory when Erica tries to seduce a man in a cheap way (perhaps to let her guard down and get more information) which doesn't fit the character, seems to escalate if anything. , his journalistic integrity is constantly questioned, as one of his admirers and assistants (Katie Sariff) looks upon him with disgust when she witnesses his manipulative behavior. At one point the phrase "Never meet your heroes" is mentioned.

Meanwhile, the heroes drink water from a special bottle, dive into outdoor indoor pools and generally appreciate their unique features. Some characters also start having hallucinations of their past, which are mostly generic but sometimes take a terrifying turn. These views give a glimpse of the city's history, but the cold river still doesn't leave the atmosphere. His tale of a hapless film industry dealing with the sins of billionaires for the supernatural never translates into anything worthwhile or meaningful. I would have believed you if you had told me that the filmmakers ran out of money before the climax.

Flickering Myth Rating – Movie: ★★ / Movie: ★★

Robert Koeder is a member of the Chicago Film Critics Association and the Critics Choice Association. He is also a reviewer for Flickering Myths. Follow me here for new reviews, follow me on Twitter or letterboxd, or email me at [email protected].

‘Acting Naturally Review: Finding A Mirror At The Movies

‘Acting Naturally Review: Finding A Mirror At The Movies

David Thompson loves movies, and it's not strange, most of us love movies, but he loves actors more than movies. Not exactly the likable cast, but all the cast, even the wooden, dark, inevitably forgotten cast. He only sees typical, slightly embellished versions of all of us. The premise of natural representation is reflected in the last few sentences of the book. "It's not like life. If we can handle it normally so our friends don't panic, he'll be alive."

The idea of ​​being alive necessarily means being an actor is not new, but Mr. Thompson deals with it heavily in forensics, using choices that are more subtle and clear. It does not equate to cheating. "Please don't say you're just yourself. You're so much more versatile than that. You're the crowd. You're an actor who plays your part and deserves a round of applause. Sometimes, just by walking into a room, you can destroy the whole house."'But there's a big difference between amateurs and professionals.' , between the images of light that we look at in the dark, because we "have no text. We have to take it on the road."

The great German critic and thinker Walter Benjamin set out to write a book consisting only of quotations. David Thompson is such a wonderful writer, energetic and genial, thoughtful and funny, witty and down-to-earth, that this review, as is already evident, can only be a collection of his elegant and incisive sentences and aphorisms. We won't go that far, but be prepared for the writer to have a lot to say with his words.

The book opens with a brief display of "proper gratitude" to his father, a version of the kind but distant Mr. Thompson he sometimes played in the Phantom. He brings four-year-old David on stage to meet the cast and show "how good they are on stage and how normal they are in real life". Although he was too young to realize this, this theatrical visit could be "a clue or cautionary tale" for him. He notes that "the professional game" is usually seen as pejorative, "but it's unfair to the way most of us play every day. Constant performance. Lovers are lovers." Mr. Thompson's life could be and is. – an act of dedication.

As a child, visiting a Christmas pantomime, he believed in the characters, but knew before they were put on stage that the actors were real people; There they were, moving, talking, their breath slashing the air, their heels clicking. Paintings "I smell what my dad told me was greasy." They even took the little boy to the cinema, where "I couldn't understand how you could see so many important people." He was correct in his belief that a screen is a window and that the characters act behind it.

But how could those crystal ghosts move so easily and remain silent except when they spoke? How could they be now in the middle distance, and now suddenly, instantly, close? “The people in that window were so strong and beautiful that they could do whatever they wanted, and I loved that, too. I wanted to be there so I could be with them. I still do.”

The people featured here range from Carey Mulligan, whom Thompson cites as a star of the 21st century for her "strange combination of glamor and restraint," to enduring icons like Louise Brooks, James Dean, Meryl Streep, and of course, Brando. . But Mr. Thompson also has time for several lesser-known supporting actors.

In his loving analysis of Jean Renoir's The Law of the Game, published in 1939, when all the rules of the game were about to be changed, Mr. Thompson delights in performances for players neither he nor I have ever heard of. Or Forgotten: Marcel Dalio, Nora Gregor, Roland Totin, Milla Barelli and others . This living encyclopedia of cinema follows Dalio's brilliant career in Hollywood. With hundreds of dealership roles, Mr. Thompson describes Dalio as a no-name collections agent who is "just part of the moving furniture" in Casablanca.

14 books we read this week

The screen stars of David Thompson, the political path of Mario Vargas Llosa, the pioneering black tennis player Althea Gibson and more.

The cast of La Règle is unknown, although it was directed by Auguste Renoir's son, it is one of the greatest films ever made, it made the bittersweet tragicomedy all the more bitter because it was made in 1939. It was a disaster. Behind the main characters "there is of course another circle, servants or people serving the inner circle," that is, minor actors.

Why do we like so many star-studded musicians, Mr. Thompson wonders, as if they were more normal or like us? Most of us are little players, not even little gods overshadowed by the brilliance of the great gods, but mere mortals. This is our situation. We sit in front of the screen, amazed by the stars, watching what happens on Mount Olympus and trying to hold on to the shattered pieces of identity. “The world may not know you, but you are fighting to be in the spotlight. Can you reconcile your timeless close-up with your chaotic reality among dozens or hundreds of supporting players?”

In Mr. Thompson, the brilliant director has lost his way, or at least has lost his way. Not the least of what this book has to offer are the imaginative versions it offers us; Submit Thompson Pictures! To my joy and surprise. Perhaps the best chapter here is "Marlon and Merrill " – the name is already a provocation. Mr. Thompson is completely smitten with Brando, though he acknowledges the actor's laziness, insecurities, and refusal to take himself seriously enough. He laughed at acting and talked about it as a license to lie and deceive celebrities. That's all true, but here after playing an old-fashioned hero in The Godfather, he turns up seven months later as the handsome Paul Paris in Last Tango, "helping us appreciate the hidden trick." The actor got a job for Vito Corleone.

Mr. Thompson takes Last Tango as a villain and instead spotlights this Parisian apartment between Brando and 23-year-old Meryl Streep. "Can't you hear these two talking?" Likes to present seemingly impossible coincidences. "I'm looking forward to Stanley Tucci as Mrs. Bracknell," and in her alternative Last Tango, she lets her wild imagination run wild. Brando and Miss Streep could play and play and play and play; "They can pretend they're tigers together, or Laurel and Hardy trying to lift the piano."

Imagine such danger, such wealth. It might have been possible in 1972 when the last Tango was made, but today? "The men and women of the screen are increasingly alienated from each other by frustration or hostility and rampant ignorance." Mr. Thompson's sumptuous review of this flawed but important film and many others is a small but poignant antidote to the waning screen time.
