Joe Leydon Film CriticIt may sound counterintuitive at best, tone-deaf at worse, to label a documentary focused on food providers aiding people in the wake of disasters as a feel-good movie. But that’s an honest, accurate and, yes, appreciative label for “We Feed People,” Ron Howard’s technically polished and emotionally stirring close-up view of celebrity chef José Andrés and his nonprofit World Central Kitchen.The movie effectively begins in media res, with the robustly gregarious Andrés and his dedicated crew  years into their vocation, providing hot meals to isolated residents of Wilmington, N.C., in the wake of 2018’s Hurricane Florence — and coming perilously close to tasting their own disaster when floodwaters almost topple their delivery truck — before backing up to explain just who Andrés is and what started him on his mission.A native of Spain, Andrés moved to the U.S.

How did you get involved with the project?Seven or so years ago I directed a short documentary about this woman named Grace Hopper, who worked in computing. And that sparked this whole interest that I have in STEM. Even though I don’t really know anything about STEM, I don’t have any technical knowledge.

Did you catch that? Jason Sudeikis revealed a subtle nod to his ex Oliva Wilde on the set of Ted Lasso, and that nod is apparently here to stay. When showing Norah O’Donnell of 60 Minutes around the locker room set of the Apple TV+ hit show, he showed how the writers named members of the team after “friends, family members, and former mentors.”

Jason Sudeikis, star and co-creator of Ted Lasso, asked “How’s it going?” when he joined a SXSW panel on the Apple comedy virtually to a room of laughter.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaLizzo slammed new Texas laws and policies that restrict access to abortion and target trans children and their families during a keynote conversation at SXSW on Sunday. The pop star, who grew up in Houston, said the controversial moves unfairly target women and the LGBTQ community. “I’m proud to rep Houston, but I’m not proud to rep Texas politics right now,” Lizzo said to loud applause.

In the first look photo at Robert Zemeckis’ “Pinocchio,” Tom Hanks dressed as Geppetto admires at his puppet boy wonder and re-imagines a scene that closely resembles the 1940 animated classic. The live-action film combines Zemeckis’ CG visual effects in order to bring Pinocchio to life on Geppetto’s quest to help him become a real boy.

Halo,” a makeover of the massive video game hit by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin TV and 343 Industries, will open this year’s Canneseries.In other potential highlights, Gillian Anderson will be on hand to receive the Variety Icon Award. “Euphoria” star Sydney Sweeney will pick up the Madame Figaro Rising Star Award, the French TV festival announced Tuesday March 8 in Paris, unveiling its 2022 lineup. “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-huyk producer Yeon Kim-ji will be in Cannes for a South Korea Focus. Main growth at 2022’s Cannesseries will be in industry terms, said Canneseries Managing Director Benoit Louvet.

Richard Linklater’s latest film “Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood” poses the question: what if the first person to walk on the moon wasn’t Neil Armstrong but was actually a kid from Houston leading a mission called Apollo 10 1/2 in secret because NASA accidentally built the space shuttle too small? That amusing fantasy and twist on American history though is just the set up for Linklater’s latest and arguably most personal film, which just released its first trailer Monday. It’s one in which he explores the reality of what life was like in Houston, Texas in 1969 just before the moon landing, all seen through the eyes of a kid who lived right next door to all of it.

Hollywood’s biggest night will apparently be without one of its brightest category stars.
