In the ongoing pursuit of O.J. Simpsons as he – as a passenger – headed down the Los Angeles freeway towards his home, there was a lot for watchers to take in. And there were a lot of viewers, as 95 million people tuned into the slow-speed chase, glued to their television sets to find out what would happen once the white Bronco finally stopped. But there was a lot going on behind the scenes, too, involving people we would have never thought had any ties to the O.J. Simpson chase – and we’re not just talking about Kurt Russell here. As it turns out, none other than Sharon Stone was put under police lockdown during the chase. What did they think, that O.J. was coming after every blonde in L.A.?
As she recently told InStyle, Sharon Stone remembered a police squad arriving at her home during the chase, telling...

Pop singer/songwriter Mika Hashizume is finally debuting his solo career with his brand new EP, ‘bleached’. The EP’s soulful lead track, characterised by R&b flavours and alternative elements titled “So I Don’t Forget”, was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Patrick “J.Que” Smith, who is also one of the co-writers of Joji’s “Die For You”.
The drifting atmosphere of “So I Don’t Forget” carries a sense of nostalgia, and the fleeting worldview evokes a feeling of transience. The track is not only for listeners with a high sensitivity to music, but also for those close to Western music culture.
“In the beginning stage of creating the EP, I didn’t have a fixed concept, except for the fact that I wanted each song in the EP to represent styles and genres that I fell in love with after starting my song-writing journey. It was only...

With its list of new releases for June 2023, Prime is bringing a handful of Amazon Originals and many recent movie hits to the fold.
It’s actually quite a busy month for non-American programming in Amazon Originals department. Shows and movies like Deadloch, My Fault, and Medellín all originate from outside the U.S. and U.K. For the American and British crowd, however, the streamer is debuting two big tentpoles.
The first is I’m a Virgo on June 23. Acclaimed director Boots Riley’s TV followup to Sorry to Bother You will tale the surreal and satirical tale of a giant in Oakland. That will be followed by the more conventional (assumedly) fourth season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan on June 30.

Last week, we shared a clip from Session 9 (watch it Here) director Brad Anderson’s new horror film Blood that showed characters played by Michelle Monaghan (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and Finlay Wojtak-Hissong (The Banana Splits Movie) getting attacked by a vicious dog. Now another clip from Blood has arrived online, and this one shows Monaghan’s character going to extreme lengths to help her son after that dog attack. You can watch the clip in the embed at the bottom of this article.
Scripted by Will Honley, Blood sees Monaghan taking on the role of Jess, a nurse and mother recently separated from her husband, who moves with her daughter Tyler and young son Owen back into her old farmhouse. Shortly after settling in, Owen’s dog escapes into the woods and returns days later, blood-soaked and rabid. When he attacks and bites Owen, the resulting infection from...

With its list of new releases for September 2022, Prime Video is finally unveiling the most anticipated (and expensive) series in the streamer’s history.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will arrive to Prime Video’s servers on Sept. 2, 2022. This Lord of the Rings prequel, set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age, is in many ways the kind of TV property that Prime Video must have always wanted. It’s certainly the TV property most fitting with the company’s largesse and riches. The Rings of Power will cover the creation of the titular rings and many important events from Tolkien’s lore (condensed into a more TV-appropriate timeframe).
Middle-earth is going to be the happening spot on Amazon and the streaming world at large this month, but Prime Video does have a handful of other originals for the fantasy-phobic. Flight/Risk, a documentary about the Boeing 737 Max design disasters,...

“I was super apprehensive,” reveals Jacinte Blankenship about working on “Intersection” in our recent webchat. She continues, “I actually got so much more confidence as a writer and producer having done this. Realizing I had this part of me that existed this whole time, and seeing our Atlanta filmmaking Community come together, was overjoying. My heart is a so full thinking about it.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
“Intersection” is a six episode web-series available on YouTube. The dark comedy revolves around a tight Atlanta community coping with the challenges posed by gentrification. Blankenship says, “Gentrification is happening. It’s not stopping. For the negative parts, it really is a sign that we need to integrate more and not separate and segregate. A lot of times folks who move in from other places are not really cognizant of what existed there before. They try to rebrand it or make something else,...

Eric Zemmour, the French far-right pundit and TV journalist who has been called “France’s Trump,” sparked a scandal in French media earlier this week when he announced his presidential bid with a video that incited nationalist fervor and included unauthorized footage from classic movies, TV shows, newscasts and soccer games.
The controversy echoes musicians such as Neil Young and the Rolling Stones threatening lawsuits over Donald Trump’s campaign using their songs..
French production powerhouse Gaumont and the producers of the popular primetime show “Quotidien” are among those who have threatened to sue Zemmour over the use of their materials in the video.
The 10-minute clip — the first of its kind posted by a French presidential candidate to social media — is set to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 and shows Zemmour sitting at a desk with imagery reminiscent of French General Charles de Gaulle’s 1940 filmed appeal to resist the Nazi occupation.

The festival, which unfolds in the birthplace of the Cinematograph and its creators, the Lumière brothers, is dedicating its 13th edition to its long-time president Bertrand Tavernier, the beloved filmmaker who recently died.
During his opening speech, the usually voluble Frémaux had to take a moment to regain his composure as he paid an emotional tribute to Tavernier, his friend and close collaborator, with whom he worked side by side for nearly four decades at the Lumière Institute.

After conquering eyeballs in the Middle East, Latin America and Europe, Turkish TV dramas are now reaping stellar ratings in the U.S. on Spanish-language media giant Univision.
And at its recent upfront Univision announced it’s set to serve up more of the often female-centric skeins known in Turkey as “dizi.”
Since its U.S. launch in February, Turkish romancer “Sefirin Kizi” (The Ambassador’s Daughter) known as “La Hija del Embajador” to Hispanic viewers – who account for 19% of the U.S. population, or 63 million people – has now reached more than 9.2 million total monthly viewers, making Univision the No. 1 U.S. network among Hispanics and bilinguals and outperforming ABC, CBS, NBC, Telemundo and all cable networks in the weeknight 10 p.m. slot, Univision says.

Cambodian filmmaking collective Anti-Archive’s Echoes of Tomorrow initiative debuted in Busan’s Wide Angle shorts competition with the world premiere of Danech San’s “A Million Years.” Echoes of Tomorrow provides an opportunity to three first-time filmmakers to direct a short each.
“The film is not really like a story. My intention is to really talk about inner feelings,” San told Variety. “A Million Years” follows a woman taking a break in a riverside restaurant who talks about her past experiences with her server. The other two shorts, “Garden,” by Sreylin Meas, and “Intersection,” by Kanitha Tith, will be completed by the end of the year.
Anti-Archive was founded in 2014 by Davy Chou, Kavich Neang and Steve Chen, with Park Sungho joining in 2016. The collective has had considerable success around the world. “Dream Land” (2015), directed by Chen, was selected for the Locarno Film Festival; Chou’s “Diamond Island” was...

Emmy winners Jeff Daniels (“The Newsroom”) and Alec Baldwin (“30 Rock”) head up the new Hulu original series “The Looming Tower,” which chronicles the rise of Osama Bin-Laden. Also featured in this docudrama about the inter-agency rivalry between the CIA and FBI in the first part of this century are Golden Globe nominees Peter Sarsgaard and Michael Stuhlbarg. The first of the 10 episodes starts streaming on Hulu on Feb. 28.
Before then, Hulu viewers will get a chance to see another acclaimed docudrama, the film “Detroit” by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”). She reteamed with screenwriter Mark Boal, who also picked up an Oscar for “The Hurt Locker,” for this acclaimed film. “Detroit” documents the riots that beset the motor city in the summer of 1967 after the police raid an unlicensed bar on July 23 and arrest the 82 patrons and staff. Over the course of just five days, 43 people died...

He had recently left his wife Catherine (Lea Massari) for a new love, Helen (a young Romy Schneider), but is having second thoughts about their coupling. En route to a business trip, he smashes his automobile and is thrown from the car. The film begins with the accident, and reconstructs his life’s dilemma...

Arbitrage; Parker; Safe Haven; Me and You; Broken
Despite the seductive beefcake reputation that first made him a star, Richard Gere has always excelled at essentially unsympathetic (and untrustworthy) roles in which his charismatic exterior masks a darker inner truth. From Internal Affairs to Intersection, he's at his best when actively undermining the affection bestowed upon stars by their audiences.
Three cheers, then, for Arbitrage (2012, Koch, 15), in which Gere is perfectly cast as a duplicitous businessman and unreliable husband and father whose life is teetering on the brink of collapse, both personal and financial. As his philanthropist wife (Susan Sarandon) and natural successor daughter (Brit Marling) struggle to penetrate the labyrinthine machinations of his increasingly fractured personality, hedge fund manager Robert Miller (Gere) hangs on tenaciously to the belief that he can buy his way out of a crisis, if only a key deal comes through in time.

He could have had it all, yet he never quite lost it all either. The mysterious and rather annoying case of Richard Gere
I've been rolling my eyes at Richard Gere for 30 years, alternately alienated and charmed by his good looks and his shockingly evident narcissism and self-regard; his abidingly terrible taste in projects, and the fact that somehow, no matter how many movies like Intersection he makes (or like King David, or Mr Jones) sooner or later there will come an end to his lengthy career-drought and, like a flailing magician, he will somehow revive his good name and box office rep with a blockbuster comeback like Pretty Woman, or an intelligent movie like Internal Affairs. Or, Nicholas Jarecki's very watchable new thriller Arbitrage.

Last week, we took a look at the relative dearth of leading men in Hollywood: why Tom Cruise, Will Smith, et al. remain at the top of the tree and why so few serious competitors have emerged since. But one of the most exciting things about our job is getting to watch the new names that emerge, breakouts who have the potential to join the A-listers, or at the very least, deliver a host of hugely exciting performances for decades to come.
So we've decided to kick off our On The Rise selection for 2012 by looking at some of the actors who we're tipping for big things in the next few years. Last time we made these kinds of picks and predictions we did pretty well, listing the likes of Joel Edgerton, Edgar Ramirez, Jason Sudeikis, Adam Scott, Jake Johnson and David Oyelowo who have all gone on to become much-sought-after names,...

Jennifer Morrison has found a great variety of roles throughout her career. Of course, most will remember her from her co-starring role on the Fox medical drama, House. Morrison is now on another hit series, the ABC fantasy drama Once Up on A Time. She also gave a great performance in the film Warrior. Morrison has been a working actress since 1994, and told us that from a young age, she always considered herself an actress. However, it was not until she worked on her first film (Intersection, which starred Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, and Lolita Davidovich) that she had a major epiphany about acting, which she would carry with her to this day.
A new episode of Once Upon a Time airs Sunday night at 8/7 central on ABC.

In 1999, pre-millennial dread made for an exciting year of existential cinematic panic. That sense of mortality helped revolutionize the horror genre, as M. Night Shyamalan took the scene by storm with "The Sixth Sense."
Another 1999 horror film, however, was unfortunately overshadowed that year. "Stir of Echoes" was a nifty little ghost story based on a short story by Richard Matheson, and it featured none other than Jennifer Morrison -- currently costarring as Tess Conlon in the mixed martial arts drama "Warrior" (opening Sept. 9) -- as a creepy ghost girl who haunts Kevin Bacon.
Bacon plays Tom Witzky, a phone lineman who's hypnotized by his sister-in-law on a dare at a party. He subsequently begins seeing visions of Samantha Kozac (Morrison), a 17-year-old girl who recently disappeared from the neighborhood. Samantha, as it turns out, was the childlike, mentally disabled sister of his son's babysitter; and as her ghost continues to torment Tom,...

Most films, however awful they may be, always contain at least one nugget of cinematic richness.
Below is our list of seven features (some of which are plain disappointments, while others are just plain bad) that all share a commonality in regards to the inclusion of one scene where that ticket purchase or time invested in home viewing was (almost) justifiable.
Richard Gere’s car crash in Intersection
Some of you may not be overly familiar with this film, and why would you? It’s a little-seen 1994 feature in which Gere stars alongside a post-Basic Instinct Sharon Stone in a familiar flashback-leaden Hollywood melodrama about a marriage on the rocks, which failed to make any dent at the box office and has since slipped into relative anonymity.
It does however (oddly) feature one of the greatest car crashes committed to film and happened towards the end, before Gere’s...

Memorable roles in American Gigolo and An Officer And A Gentleman seem a long time ago
Allow me to favour you with a little movie list. Try to guess what they have in common and I'll meet you in paragraph two: No Mercy, Power, Miles From Home, Mr Jones, Final Analysis, Sommersby, Intersection, King David, Red Corner, The Jackal, Red Corner, The Mothman Prophecies, Unfaithful, Shall We Dance, Amelia.
I know, I know: it looks like the Razzie Winners' display at some bleak video store in the sixth circle of Hell, or perhaps the entire directorial oeuvre of Alan Smithee handily quarantined to prevent them from infecting the poor innocent DVDs on neighbouring shelves. But let me straighten you out: they all star one Richard Tiffany Gere, who can be seen this week in another of his patented misfires, Brooklyn's Finest.

Poor Sarah Jessica Parker. She probably doesn't have a prayer of beating such formidable foes as Beyonce, Miley Cyrus And Megan Fox to claim the highly coveted, gold paint-sprayed Razzie Award as worst actress of 2009. All of the latter three divas are good examples of women who've "won" in the past. Fox has serious hope of prevailing because Razzie voters adore brassy sexpots like past champs Paris Hilton ("The Hottie and the Nottie") and Sharon Stone ("Basic Instinct 2," "Intersection," "The Specialist"). Beyonce and Miley Cyrus might need to get an acceptance speech ready because voters also love songbirds like past victors Madonna ("Swept Away," "The Next Best Thing," "Body of Evidence," "Who's That...

The right car crash can make or break a movie. For this list, I’ve included any type of wreck, whether it is two cars hitting each other or a car hitting a person on foot. As some type of parameter, I tried to exclude any wrecks derived from a lengthy chase scene (The Matrix Reloaded and The Blues Brothers). However, since chase scenes do yield some pretty ridiculous car wrecks, I wasn’t able to keep them off the list completely. I won’t go without stating the obvious: chase scene or not, I just wanted an excuse to watch clips of cars hitting things.)

Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct 2 sequel appears to be have been a risk not worth taking after notching up seven nominations at next month's Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress Of The Year. Competing against the film in the Worst Picture category is BloodRayne, Lady In The Water, The Wicker Man, and the Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans comedy Little Man, which also received seven nominations including Worst Director. The Wayans brothers share a Worst Actor nod battling against Little Man co-star Rob Schneider, The Wicker Man's Nicolas Cage, Larry The Cable Guy for Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector. And Tim Allen has three nominations in the same category - for The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, The Shaggy Dog and Zoom. Meanwhile, sisters Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff are both nominated for Worst Actress for their roles in Material Girls. They will fight it out with Stone, Jessica Simpson for Employee Of The Month, Lindsay Lohan for Just My Luck and Kristanna Loken for BloodRayne. Stone - who has previously won the Razzie for Worst Actress for The Specialist and Intersection - earns another mention for her "lopsided breasts" in the category for Worst Screen Couple. The awards' founder, John Wilson, says, "She's what we call a Razzie repeat offender. Perhaps even a recidivist."...
