Dennis Harvey Film Critic After getting through the reopened old wounds and fresh corpses of “The Dry” in his dusty outback hometown, Eric Bana’s Federal Agent Aaron Falk certainly deserved a change of scenery. He gets one in woodsy “Force of Nature: The Dry 2,” though naturally the second feature adapted by director Robert Connolly from Jane Harper’s print mystery series soon finds him equally knee-deep in troublesome sleuthing. This sequel to one of Australia’s biggest homegrown hits reprises much of its page-turning plottiness — as well as a straining for emotional depth that proves elusive.

Baby Reindeer‘s real-life Martha will have her say on the Netflix series in a YouTube interview.

Baby Reindeer’s real-life Martha is considering legal action over the show in which she is portrayed as a terrifying stalker.

“We believe in this case, and we will be retrying this case,” prosecutors in Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape case told a judge today in the first hearing since the much-accused producer’s 2020 conviction was overturned last week. “It was a strong case in 2020 …and it remains a strong case in 2024,” added Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg.

Jordan Moreau Harvey Weinstein appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday, less than a week after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction. It’s the first time the former movie producer has been seen in public since he was convicted of rape in a Los Angeles court and sentenced to 16 years in prison in February 2023. Weinstein was seated in a wheelchair and wheeled by a security guard into a courtroom packed with journalists, lawyers and other officials.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic A distinctive, dynamic R&B vocalist who seemed on the verge of major stardom through the 1960s, Jackie Shane disappeared soon after — so completely that many fans and former associates assumed her dead. It was a riddle rendered all the more mysterious by her singular status within that field as a more-or-less “out” transperson, her persona an assertive exercise in gender-blur before that term existed.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Solitary confinement, theoretically used only when a prisoner is at high risk of harm to or from others, has long been regarded as a severe punitive measure best applied in small doses. The United Nations’ “Mandela Rules” recommend inmates be placed in such conditions for no more than 15 days, to avoid significant damage to physical or psychological health. Yet “The Strike” spotlights one U.S.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic In an odd quirk of distribution timing, this month has seen the arrival of no less than two imported, semi-comedic thrillers featuring decrepit apartment building invaded by giant spiders. Already playing U.S. theaters is the Australian “Sting,” which is fun, if formulaic.

Jordan Moreau Harvey Weinstein‘s lawyers celebrated his overturned rape conviction at a press conference in New York Thursday. “From the bottom of our hearts, we knew Harvey Weinstein didn’t get a fair trial,” his attorney Arthur Aidala told reporters. “There are some people who are unpopular but we still have to apply the law fairly to.

The cast of Pulp Fiction is back together to celebrate its 30th anniversary!

Todd Gilchrist editor John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson and Harvey Keitel reunited at the TCM Classic Film festival on Thursday for a 30th anniversary screening of Quentin Tarantino‘s “Pulp Fiction” to reflect on the film’s impact on their careers — and upon the medium itself. “It changed cinema, so it’s almost hard to have it sink in,” observed Uma Thurman, who joined Samuel L.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic A grueling two-pedal route to the Grand Canyon just might provide the course-correction male juvenile offenders need in “Hard Miles.” With Matthew Modine as their teacher-coach, this fact-inspired tale covers familiar redemptive sports drama terrain. But it’s traveled with affectingly understated assurance by director R.J.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic At their least, the myriad serial-killer movies that followed in the imitative wake of “Se7en” three decades ago have gotten the grisly part down, but find compelling suspense, atmospherics and original narrative ideas harder to come by. Such is certainly the case with “Damaged,” which serves up a considerable number of victims’ severed limbs, yet is likely to leave scant impression — scarring or otherwise — on the viewer. Though Samuel L.

Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe is ready to take the stage and star as the main character in the musical Kinky Boots.The 36 year old dancer - who has been on the hit BBC show since 2018 and has been partnered up with the likes of Catherine Tyldesley and Ellie Taylor - announced that he will be taking on the central role of Lola the drag queen for his musical debut in the play. Led by former Billy Elliot director, Nikolai Foster, the show is inspired by Cyndi Lauper's iconic music and Johannes will perform in venues dotted around the country from February until July 2025.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic “Some secrets are meant to stay buried” says the ad line for “Strictly Confidential.” But you’d need a sizable underground bunker to contain all the effortfully shocking revelations sprung in this very silly sudser, which starts out looking like an erotic thriller-mystery, then descends into a series of flashback-laden explication monologues more apt for “Dynasty” than Agatha Christie. Damian Hurley’s directorial feature, with famous mum Elizabeth top-billed and producing, provides several hardbodied younger performers opportunity to model clothes and approximate recognizable human emotions on the coastline of tax haven island nation Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Call it a daytime double. Steve Harvey, who has become an almost ubiquitous presence on TV through his host duties of both a daytime talk show as well as the long-running game show “Family Feud,” is teaming up with Dr. Phil.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic The proliferation of billionaires — with trillionaires reportedly soon to come — has raised a lot of questions in world politics. But one question has been around as long as wealth itself: What can an individual actually do with that much money? A new answer arises in “The Bones,” proving that the rich will always break fresh ground in the realm of luxury expenditures. Even for the man or woman who “has everything,” there may still be unfulfilled need for a reconstructed Triceratops skeleton dating from approximately 67,000,000 B.C.

Coronation Street fans have pointed out a huge blunder in one of the soap's storylines involving Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor). Harvey is currently serving time in prison for the murder of Natasha Blakeman. In Wednesday's (6 March) episode of the ITV soap, Harvey was left furious after realising he hadn't been successful in his attempt to bring Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) down.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic It is no great aberration in the modern mysteries of film finances that the Manhattan-set “5lbs of Pressure” was, for whatever reason, shot in Manchester, England. While the ruse works well enough superficially — maybe the industrial U.K.

Wrexham AFC have the biggest international audience of any Football League club, according to its director.

Coronation Street fans were distracted by the same thing as Adam Barlow was mowed down in shock scenes. The solicitor, played by Sam Robertson, has been playing with fire by agreeing to a deal with drug lord and killer Harvey Gaskell.

PJ Harvey has announced a late summer/early fall run of shows across the United States and lower Canada, her first North American trek in seven years. The tour is scheduled to begin on September 11 at The Anthem in Washington, D.C.

PJ Harvey has shared the most video for ‘Seem An I’ which features actor Ruth Wilson.The video for the song, taken from Harvey’s recent album ‘I Inside The Old Year Dying’, was shot at Kennel Farm outside Salisbury and was created by Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director, Colm Bairéad. In recent years, Wilson has appeared in shows including Luther, The Affair and His Dark Materials, while her film credits include Jane Eyre and Saving Mr. Banks.“Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard’s film Dark River,” said Harvey in a press release.

The best in independent film and television were honored at the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards!

Dennis Harvey Film Critic English animator Robert Morgan has deservedly accrued a shelf of awards over the past quarter-century or so for shorts like “The Cat With Hands,” “The Separation” and ickily awesome “Bobby Yeah.” Their macabre, surreal nightmares are at once threatening and oddly winsome, with a sinister aesthetic equally redolent of the Brothers Quay, early David Lynch and the painter Francis Bacon — all of whom count among the director’s admitted influences. He’s been in no hurry to adopt a longer format, and his first feature underlines the wisdom of that reluctance.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Those dismayed by the cancellation of the big-budget “Coyote vs. Acme” — a high-profile casualty of the recent Hollywood trend towards pulling the plug on near-completed projects — may find consolation and then some in “Hundreds of Beavers.” That is, if they become aware of it, of course.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Religious hysteria, family secrets and a tinge of the occult make hard times all the harder for protagonists in “Queen of Bones.” This Ontario-shot U.S. indie production is a rural gothic with echoes of both “Flowers in the Attic’s” dark YA melodrama and “Carrie’s” supernaturally vengeful coming of age.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Slasher movies often droop between grisly highlights due to the weak plotting and cardboard characters meant to lend structural integrity to their shock content. “In a Violent Mind” avoids those pitfalls by pretty much sidestepping entirely the standard niceties of narrative and psychological detail. There is explanatory backstory — however piecemeal and possibly-inaccurate — but otherwise writer-director Chris Nash’s first feature approaches the usual bloody business with a sort of minimalist purity, enabled by focusing almost wholly on the POV of one Unstoppable Killing Machine.
