Composer Gerald Fried, who won an Emmy for the landmark miniseries “Roots” and whose 1960s scores, from “Star Trek” to “Gilligan’s Island,” left an indelible impression on a generation of TV watchers, died of pneumonia Friday at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Bridgeport, Ct. He was 95.
His wide-ranging career included scoring five early Stanley Kubrick films, including “Paths of Glory” and “The Killing”; receiving the only Oscar nomination ever given for a documentary score, 1975’s “Birds Do It, Bees Do It”; and earning five other Emmy nominations for music in specials, TV movies and miniseries.
The prolific Fried scored approximately 40 films, some three dozen TV-movies and miniseries, and episodes of another 40 TV series during a career that spanned more than six decades.
Among his most famous TV series music was from the original “Star Trek.” He scored five episodes of the series, most famously the Spock-in-heat episode “Amok Time,” which...

The team behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine killed it with the comedy and jokes on their half-hour series, now, they’re sending the show’s beloved recurring character actor Craig Robinson to uncharted territory with Peacock’s Killing It. All 10 episodes of the upcoming series from Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici will arrive Thursday, April 14 on the NBCUniversal streamer. Described as a comedy about class, capitalism, and a man’s quest to accomplish the American dream, Killing It is a series that happens to be about hunting really big snakes. (Credit: Peacock) “We love all the ambitious, challenging, thematically-rich series that populate the current peak-tv landscape. We also love jokes. So, we tried to make a show that could deliver both,” Goor and Del Tredici shared in a joint statement. “We wanted Killing It to explore America’s quasi-religious obsession with entrepreneurship and wealth, and we also wanted it to be funny.

During the “Killing Eve” Season 4 premiere, Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh) find themselves face-to-face once more. Eve, a former MI6 desk jockey who moved into active duty while pursuing the assassin presently staring her down, is now working in private security. Villanelle, a killer for hire who grew bored with the gig before losing her taste for blood completely, is struggling to find joy in her evolving identity. Still at odds after their acrimonious split in 2020’s Season 3 finale, the testy couple’s reunion isn’t pretty, and they challenge each other’s progress (or lack thereof) in a curious pitch and catch: “If you really changed, you wouldn’t have come here,” Eve says, to which Villanelle replies, “If you’d really changed, you wouldn’t have let me.”
Regrettably, they’re both right. It’s indisputable how much both women have changed since they met, yet...

The Busan International Film Festival will be a homecoming of sorts for Zhang Lu. The celebrated art-house director was born in China, but is of Korean ethnicity, and has enjoyed many of his successes in Busan, at the festival or through the project market.

His past track record suggests that further globe-trotting is likely: “Grain in Ear,” “Fukuoka,” “Dooman River,” “Desert Dream” and “Gyeongju,” have gone on to win prizes in Cannes, Berlin and Locarno.
For what is his first Chinese-made picture after a decade making films in Korea, Zhang has secured the services of top actors Ni Ni, Zhang Luyi and Sosuke Ikematsu. The film nevertheless continues Zhang’s exploration of cultural, political and emotional spaces.

We moviegoers are a caring, law-abiding community, or at least we’re assumed to be, but regardless of how timid or tender-hearted we are, producers know that we’re usually pushovers for movies about Big Heists. As long as the crime is perpetrated against an institution like a bank, a multinational corporation, or a casino, and no person is threatened or injured, the protagonists’ antisocial behavior becomes an abstraction. We’re free, vicariously, to admire their ingenuity and tenacity as they carry out their complicated scheme. But what if the story is based on a big payout that directly endangers an innocent person? Then it becomes harder to sell the concept as escapist entertainment, as journeyman filmmakers Stanley Kubrick and Hubert Cornfield discovered in the mid-1950s, when they both became interested, independently, in a 1953 novel by Lionel White.

Shinya Tsukamoto's Vital and A Snake of June are playing on Mubi in the United States in the double bill The Human Extremes of Shinya Tsukamoto.Top: A Snake of June. Above: Vital. Shinya Tsukamoto has explored the full spectrum of human darkness over his four decades of filmmaking, including the raw nihilism of 1989’s Tetsuo: Iron Man, the desperate grief of 1998’s Bullet Ballet, and the paralyzing pacifism of 2018’s Killing, just to name a few select examples. And yet the director is usually only associated with the violence and surrealism of the earlier films, particularly edgelord employee pick Tetsuo. What’s often overlooked by fans is that these earlier films stem from the same fascinations foregrounded in his later, more restrained works like Killing (2018) and Fires on the Plain (2014): abject corporeality amid environments molding us as much as we exist in them, and ontological explorations of breaking through those constraints.

Ever since his international breakthrough with “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” Japanese director Shinya Tsukamoto has been a constant presence on many film festivals. His body of work includes such titles as “Bullet Ballet”, “A Snake of June” and “Fires on a Plain”, most of which discuss the link between body and spirit as well as the changes the body goes through in the face of at times hostile circumstances.
At this year’s Nippon Connection in Frankfurt Tsukamoto was given the Nippon Honor Award for his role as a representative of Japanese film and culture. Asian Movie Pulse met with the director to talk about his new film “Killing”, his inspirations for the project and the possibility of a new “Tetsuo”.

Exclusive: Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films is teaming with Copperheart Entertainment, producers of the Ginger Snaps trilogy of cult horror movies, on a TV series adaptation of the darkly comic tale of teenage sisterhood. The project is executive produced by John Fawcett, co-creator and director of the original film and co-creator and executive producer of BBC America’s award-winning series, Orphan Black.
Anna Ssemuyaba (Guerilla) will write the potential Ginger Snaps TV series, which tells the story of sisters, Ginger and Brigette, who are self-imposed outcasts in their hometown. Inseparable and fascinated with the macabre, they make a pact to escape their sleepy suburban home by sixteen or else take their own lives. But on the night of her first period, Ginger is attacked and infected by a werewolf which unleashes a monstrous kind of puberty. Brigette can’t understand this new version of her sister who is violent and sexual.

Co-founded in the 1950s by Samuel Z. Arkoff, American International Pictures used a simple acronym, the Arkoff formula, to help guarantee the success of the independent production company’s films: Action, Revolution, Killing, Oratory, Fantasy, and Fornication.
While, as Vanity Fair put it, the youth-oriented company during its 26-year run was known for churning out “disposable B movies you could make out to,” some of those same kitschy, low-budget, teen-focused films went on to change the course of American cinema: launching the careers of Roger Corman and protege Martin Scorsese, birthing franchises like “The Fast and the Furious” and “Max Max” and inspiring the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez.
Now, 40 years after releasing its last movie, Aip is back: MGM announced Wednesday that it is reviving the label. Its first acquisition is Tate Taylor’s “Breaking News in Yuba County,” which will be released by MGM’s United...

Beloved actress Fiona Shaw has been keeping busy in recent years, thanks to turns in everything from “Killing Eve” to the upcoming historical drama “Ammonite,” but few of the BAFTA-winning star’s roles feel quite so delightfully suited for her than her starring work in Joe Marcantonio’s upcoming psychological horror thriller “Kindred.” In the film, which also stars rising talents Tamara Lawrance and Jack Lowden, Shaw gets to make a meal out of the kind of part she was born to play: nutty mother-in-law of your nightmares.
The film follows Lawrance as Charlotte, a young Brit stunned by the one-two punch of learning she’s pregnant and losing her beloved boyfriend soon after. Shaken to her core and without much support in the English countryside she’s desperate to get out of, Charlotte gets tangled up with her dead partner’s creepy family, who are a little too excited about the impending birth.

Zendaya made history on Sunday night with her surprise victory, becoming the youngest actress to win the Emmy Award.
The 24-year-old actress won the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series honour on Sunday for her performance in 'Euphoria'.
Zendaya plays Rue Bennett, a drug addict in the HBO's high school drama series.
She has reportedly made history with this win, not only for becoming the youngest-ever Emmy winner in the category but also for being the second-ever Black woman to win the category, following Viola Davis, who won in 2015 for How To Get Away With Murder.
During her acceptance speech, the former Disney star thanked her family, team and 'Euphoria' creator Sam Levinson.
“I appreciate you so much; you’re my family,” said Zendaya, addressing Levinson, who based the series on his own battle with drug addiction. “I’m so grateful for Rue.

As recently as a decade ago, being a ‘TV actor’ was viewed as inferior to starring on the big screen, but as the era of so-called ‘Peak TV’ continues, the lines have become more blurred than ever as many of the industry’s highest-profile names are making the jump to the small screen with increasing regularity.
For instance, during his heyday, Al Pacino wouldn’t be caught dead appearing on television, and yet the acting legend showed up in a TV series for the first time since 1968 in Amazon’s Hunters, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With so much content available across so many platforms, which has only increased dramatically since the streaming wars kicked into high gear, there’s almost too many options to choose from as fans find their watch-lists constantly filling up, creating a huge backlog of must-see projects that they simply don’t have the time for.

It’s mid-summer. Normally we’d be covering the openings of “The Forever Purge” and “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” with “Minions: Rise of Gru” in its second weekend competing for #1. As usual, all franchise titles, likely all hits.
Thirty-three years ago on the same weekend, another “franchise” was #2. His name was Stanley Kubrick, and “Full Metal Jacket,” his 12th film, went wide and began its successful road to profit.
The master filmmaker’s first release in seven years, “Jacket” continued his fruitful exclusive relationship with Warner Bros. (similar to the studio’s ties with Clint Eastwood and Christopher Nolan). Atypically for the season and the studio, it started as a limited release on June 26, then expanded on July 10. 12 years later his posthumously released “Eyes Wide Shut” opened on July 16. It’s impossible imagining either going in summer or even being made.
Kubrick’s ability to make such esoteric films didn’t happen in a vacuum.

For the first time ever, fans can trace the decades-long evolution of Gamera, from the “friend of all children” in his more light-hearted earlier films, to the Guardian of the Universe in the groundbreaking 1990s reboot series, often hailed as three of the best kaiju films ever made.

This Killing Eve review contains spoilers.
Killing Eve Season 3 Episode 7
It’s starting to become clear that death no longer sticks on Killing Eve – at least not for anyone who matters. Not anymore.
We lost Mo rather unceremoniously this episode, and in three seasons of both male underlings and assistants of color (he’s the first to fill both roles simultaneously), he is perhaps the one we know the least about and are the least invested in. That’s no crack on the actor or the character’s personality – viewers simply haven’t had much chance if an opportunity to become invested in him. His most pivotal role has been as a human comedic springboard for Fiona Shaw’s deadpan humour to clang off of. True to form, the only emotion wrought out of the whole thing was a thinly veiled confrontation between Geraldine and Carolyn about their grief over Kenny.

There are many reasons to love Killing Eve: heart-pounding action, razor-sharp writing, jaw-dropping fashion, the peerless treasure that is Sandra Oh. Personally, I watch Killing Eve for its nuanced and engrossing investigation into queerness.
The series revolves around the rise of a highly-skilled - and highly unstable - assassin who goes by the name Villanelle and the MI6 agent, Eve Polastri, who is on a mission to track her down. As the show progresses, the relationship between Villanelle and Eve transforms from one of pursuer and pursued into a much more interesting, obsessive relationship.
At first, I was concerned that the hints of queerness I saw in season one were simply another form of queerbaiting. For those who don't know, queerbaiting is when television shows or movies or books hint that characters are gay in order to keep Lgbtq+ fans hooked, but never fully take a stand or do the actual work of representation.

Korean-Chinese director Zhang Lu has finished shooting “Yanagawa,” his first Chinese film in over a decade, which he filmed in Japan. The project is backed by China’s Huanxi Media and Midnight Blur Films, with both firms holding global rights.
The new title is now heading into post-production, though the coronavirus epidemic in China has complicated work flows. It is the first film to come out of the production arm of Midnight Blur Films.
The movie tells the story of two very different brothers who take a trip to Yanagawa, Japan, to find the woman they both loved in their youth. It stars Chinese actress Ni Ni, who appeared alongside Christian Bale in Zhang Yimou’s 2011 historical war drama “The Flowers of War,” as well as actors Zhang Luyi (“The Devotion of Suspect X”) and Xin Baiqing (Chen Kaige’s “Legend of the Demon Cat”) as the two brothers.
