Aquarela Review: The Shape of Water, Indeed

Streaming Movies 2019 Full Online

Shot in high definition at 96 frames per second though most theaters will only be able to show it at 48 fps this eyepopper from Russian director-writer-cinematographer-editor Victor Kossakovsky (Vivan Las Antpodas!) is like nothing youve ever seen. His free-form documentary on water opens by scaring us to death. The scene is on frozen Lake Baikal in Siberia, in which cars are shown cracking through the ice, while a rescue team labors to save a driver and passenger. Its a showstopping sequence that reminds you how, when it comes to raging H2O, human beings are unfit opponents.

Kossakovsky and his fellow camera virtuoso Ben Bernhard capture sights that blur the line between reality and fantasy. The filmmakers show water in all its raw beauty, but also as a malevolent force. If you want to know what its like to ride Hurricane Irma as it pummels Miami, youll find out here. And Eicca Toppinens immersive, intrusive heavy-metal score wont calm your nerves nor, for that matter, will natures own crashing, thrashing sound design. Sure, the doc eventually treats us to the serene majesty of a rainbow over Angel Falls in Venezuela. But as the cameras travel through places as far-flung as Scotland, Mexico, Portugal and Greenland, theres no losing the awareness of a larger, far more imposing climate-based threat.

'Honeyland' Review: To Bee or Not to Bee10 Best Documentaries of 2018

Aquarela has no use for charts, grafs, voiceover narration or other contexual shortcuts. What you see is what you get, and that includes glaciers breaking apart leaving chunks of ice ready to rip. Theres no doubt who is starring in this movie when we watch a raging storm overtake a single woman piloting a sailboat. Whether the subject is taking the form of surging waves or making us believe its about to swallow up the cameras themselves, the documentary is a warning that insists attention must be paid. Itd be a calamitous mistake not to listen.

Streaming Movies 2020 Full Online

Shia LaBeouf wrestles with past demons, in the script and on the screen, in the new trailer for Honey Boy, the upcoming film based on his own experiences as a young actor.

The clip follows the fictionalized version of LaBeouf, Otis Lort, as he deals with family turmoil and the pressures of fame as both a child (Noah Jupe) and young adult (Lucas Hedges). LaBeouf himself appears as father James Lort, a former rodeo clown and felon who brings his son both inspiration and angst. Youre a fucking star, and I know it, the elder Lort tells Jupes character. Thats why Im here. Im your cheerleader, honey boy.

The preview traces the loose arc of the actors career from his ascent to stardom to eventual stint in rehab. It opens with Hedges on the set of a Hollywood action movie, filming a scene capped with a massive explosion; then in a montage, he swigs some alcohol, gets in a car crash and winds up yelling at the police from the back of a cop car: What am I being arrested for? You think youre hot shit? Cause you dont know how good I am at what I do!

Honey Boy, which premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and hits theaters November 8th, was directed by Alma Harel (Bombay Beach) from LaBeoufs screenplay. The cast also features singer FKA Twigs in her feature debut.

UPDATE: Leslie Jones will not return to Saturday Night Live after five seasons on the show. Jones joined the cast in 2014 and quickly became a fan favorite, especially for her appearances on Weekend Update. Its unclear exactly why Jones decided to leave the cast ahead of its 45th season, though a source told The New York Post, Leslie has chosen to depart as she has several upcoming projects in the works and she thought its as the right time to go. Jones is reportedly prepping a new stand-up special, which is expected to hit Netflix next year.

**

Saturday Night Livehas announced its Season 45 lineup, kicking off on September 28th with Woody Harrelson in his fourth appearance as host and Billie Eilish in her first musical guest slot.

The host lineup also includes Fleabag andKilling Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, slotted in for October 5th, as well asStranger Things actor David Harbour (October 12th) and Kristen Stewart in her second time as host (November 2nd).

But perhaps the most notable announcement for SNL fans is Eddie Murphy, who will be hosting the show on December 21st for the first time since 1984. The former SNL cast member has repeatedly distanced himself from the sketch series where he made his name, appearing very briefly duringSNLs 40th anniversary special but otherwise not participating. (It was later revealed by Norm Macdonald, in 100-tweet-long Twitter monologue, that Murphy was originally slated to give a Bill Cosby impression but turned it down.)

Other musical guests this season include Taylor Swift, joining Waller-Bridge on October 5th, and Camila Cabello on October 12th. The musical guests for the November 2nd and December 21st shows have yet to be announced.

Them That Follow Examines the Poison of Fanatacism and Poverty in Appalachia

Stream Movies 2019 Online free

Fresh from her Oscar win for The Favourite, the indisputably great Olivia Colman shows up in Them That Follow as a snake-handling Pentecostal congregationalist in the Appalachian mountains who finds her faith sorely tested. You might want to read that sentence twice since this movie does not follow any traditional paths. But the faith it examines, in practice for more than 100 years, is considered a religious freedom by those even in areas that seek to outlaw it. Writer-directors Britt Poulton and Dan Madison Savage do not come from a Pentecostal church background, so in making their feature debut, they were determined to show respect to what exists off-the-grid and outside conventional morality. A wise choice, especially when youre entering a world that could easily be misunderstood.

The World and 'Hollywood' According to Quentin Tarantino'The Mountain' Review: Mental Health Will Drive You Mad

Them That Follow takes its good, sweet time getting to the point, which may try the patience of viewers. Its the actors who put flesh on the bare bones of the story. Colman plays Hope Sister Slaughter to the community who claims she has only one vice: smoking. Having experienced the big, bad world outside before settling down with her husband, Zeke (comedian Jim Gaffigan, scoring solid dramatic points), Hope is ready to show Zeke the required slavish devotion. Its their son, Augie (Thomas Mann), who questions the precepts of their faith. Their pastor, Lemuel (Walton Goggins, doing that popping thing he does with his eyes), preaches the gospel according to Mark 16:18 that requires each parishioner at service to test Gods love with a venomous viper. If the rattlesnake bites and kills you (it can take up to 48 tortuous hours for the venom to finish the job), it is Gods will. If you survive the ordeal, the Lord has shown mercy.

Augie resists this dogma and risks expulsion from the community by carrying on secretly with Mara (a heartfelt and touching Alice Englert), the pastors daughter. Mara has already been promised in marriage by her father to local boy Garret (Lewis Pullman), who seems more attracted to her virgin purity than anything else about her. If Mara veers from the sects strict patriarchal rules, she will have to show her submission through such tasks as washing Garrets feet.

Credit Poulton and Savage for detailing life in this Pentecostal hamlet without condescension or ridicule. Nonetheless, its hard to watch Mara and her friend, Dilly (Booksmarts stellar Kaitlyn Dever), being forced to detour from a path that would allow them to think for themselves. The need for each individual to carve out a space for independent contemplation is the storys core dynamic. And when the script gives the actors a chance to play these home truths, the film comes meaningfully if fitfully to life. Sadly, Poulton and Savage have a tendency to dawdle without using the time to build meaningful characterization. And the swerve into bizarre melodrama in the final third knocks the film permanently off course, reducing a potentially rich examination of religious extremism into a missed opportunity.
