When real-life stories are turned into movies, sometimes the reality is watered down, as the screenwriter and director rely on dramatizations, rather than sticking to the events as they actually happened.

Based on a dramatic cave rescue in Thailand four years ago, Howard told us that the story was dramatic enough on its own that it didn’t need to be embellished, so he stuck to the facts as much as he could.

Having directed Apollo 13, Ron Howard was certainly no stranger to the demands of taking a real-life drama and translating it into a story for the screen. While Apollo 13 was set amongst the perils of space flight, Thirteen Lives details a kind of danger that — while no less deadly — is easier to understand, since it was about a group of ordinary kids (and their football coach) who are imperiled while sightseeing. Since the real-life rescue featured rescue divers who had to teach the kids and coach diving skills, the stars of Thirteen Lives, including Colin Farrell and Viggo Mortensen, had to learn those skills as well.

When a Thai boys soccer team was trapped in a cave by flash flooding in 2018, the world was riveted as divers attempted to locate and rescue the teenage boys and their coach in the flooded cave, ultimately calling in volunteers who specialized in cave diving. Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell play two of those cave divers, middle-aged hobbyists who travel from their homes in the U.K. to volunteer to help save the boys and their coach. As the days dragged on, hope faded and it seemed only a miracle could save them. Thirteen Lives dramatizes that 2018 rescue mission, and demonstrates exactly how miraculous it was.

Do-do-do-do-Dora. Do-do-do-do-Dora. Anyone with a child born within the past two decades is cursing out loud, singing the “Dora the Explorer” theme song in their head, or perhaps both! Either way, it’s inescapable in the live-action Dora and the Lost City of Gold in which a teenage Dora is forced to survive the challenges of high school and the jungle.
Opening with a young Dora and Diego deep in the jungle, Dora soon finds herself without her best friend when Diego moves to the city. Left with only her parents, she spends the next ten years being homeschooled by her professor parents, Elena (Eva Longoria) and Cole (Michael Peña), and making friends with the animals she finds on her many adventures. It’s only after Dora (Isabela Moner), now a 16-year old girl, stumbles upon a key to the lost city of Parapata that her parents send her to...

World Wrestling Entertainment calls the Texas Rattlesnake the most popular superstar in its history, perhaps because he defiantly (and literally) flipped off the man, WWE chairman Vince McMahon, and guzzled beer from the turnbuckle. A six-time WWE champion, Intercontinental and World Tag Team champion, three-time Royal Rumble winner and King of the Ring, Stone Cold has been plagued by injuries throughout this career. That hasn’t prevented him, though, from trying his hand at acting, starring in “The Condemned” as a death-row prisoner whisked off to a deserted island to compete in a “Survivor”-esque reality show in which the winner can claim his or her prize only if all the other contestants are dead. He also appeared in Sylvester Stallone’s all-star actioner “The Expendables.”
Choice Quotation:
Breckel (Robert Mammone): What were you doing in El Salvador?
Conrad (Austin): Working on my tan.
Breckel: Why did you blow the building up?...

Chicago – “I want to make movies that touch people in unique ways and affect people in unique ways. And, you know, that’s what I’ve tried to do with this film.”
“Knowing” director Alex Proyas has defied categorization throughout his career. Sure, all of his movies are what could be called “dark” and there’s a sci-fi edge to most of them but there’s such a variety of scope in his films. From the massive budget of a film like “I, Robot” to a more personal project like “Garage Days” to the beloved cult flicks “The Crow” and “Dark City”. His newest work is “Knowing,” starring Nicolas Cage and Rose Byrne, opening on Friday, March 20th, 2009.
Proyas recently sat down for a conference call to talk about his new blockbuster film, why he chose to write it, the trend of disaster-driven films, the spiritual side of his work,...
