The race is on. After a punishing first season that saw teams trek across the Alaskan wilderness, USA Network is heading to New Zealand for season 2 of the competition reality series Race to Survive.
Race to Survive: New Zealand will follow teams of contestants as they navigate harsh terrain in a quest to take home a $500,000 prize. Winning won’t be easy. Cast members will have to endure challenging conditions and tough competition as they speed toward the finish line.
“This is a pass or fail evolution,” one contestant says in the trailer for the new season (via YouTube). “You either make it or you don’t. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
“It’s not a race to survive,” another observes. “It’s being able to survive the race.”

Nine two-person teams will be attempting to survive in treacherous New Zealand terrain on USA Network’s Race to Survive: New Zealand. This season’s competitors include endurance athletes, airborne firefighters, and river guides, all vying for the $500,000 grand prize.
“In the most harrowing outdoor adventure competition yet, challengers must rely on a combination of endurance racing, survival skills, and intuition as they navigate 150 miles of New Zealand’s harshest terrain,” reads USA Network’s synopsis. “From the depths of ancient caves to frigid alpine summits, every step and every calorie is hard-earned. However, strength and speed alone won’t be enough to win $500,000. Rather, only those with the strongest will to survive can claim this life-changing prize.”
The reality competition series is executive produced by Jeff Hasler, Brian Lovett, and Meredith Prunkard. Jeff Conroy serves as executive producer and showrunner. The season premieres on Monday, May 20, 2024 at 11pm Et/Pt with a 75-minute episode.

Last year up-and-coming filmmaker Keith Hodder made quite a splash in the indie genre community with the faux Grindhouse-style trailer Van Gore he co-directed with Peter Strauss and Jerrad Pulham that was selected to be a part of the Hobo with a Shotgun home release.
Now Hodder is back with his latest project called Shift, a short thriller about recent university graduate Ryan Stewart (Nick Stojanovic), who travels to Toronto with dreams of big success but instead comes face to face with harsher realities.
When he's jobless and out of money, Ryan has to make peace with his own personal defeat and make the long drive back home to eastern Canada. But things take a different turn when he picks up a clever and manipulative hitchhiker (Christian McKenna), who begins to test Ryan's emotional and psychological limits along the way.

While it isn't fair to those still working there to pronounce Cinematical dead, this week has seen a steady stream of writers and editors leave the site in recent days, all but leaving it for dead, and without sounding too grandiose, taking a little bit of film culture along with it.
Of course, there are thousands of film sites now covering every crevice of the industry and artform. Whether you're into the films of Paul Thomas Anderson, title sequences, films of the '60s and '70s, or a podcast devoted strictly to the Criterion Collection, there's a place where nearly every cinematic interest can be satisfied. But that wasn't the case back in 2005 when Cinematical debuted with the drive to cover them all. At the time the site was launched under the stewardship of Weblogs founder Jason Calacanis, Mark Rabinowitz and Karina Longworth, film writing on the Web was...

It's been eight years since Mel Gibson has played a lead role, and it looks like he's aged about twice that much since starring in 2002's Signs. Was it worth the wait? So far, this is a highly polarizing pic.
"An intense Mel Gibson performance anchors this brutally effective crime thriller."
— Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
"Onscreen much of the time, thicker and more creased than you remember, he [Gibson] can make this rather unshapely movie seem taut."
— Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
"In terms of consistent visceral thrills, Taken this isn't — despite [director] Campbell's demonstrable flair for shooting action."
— Brian Lowry, Variety
"...a tonally stilted procedural with an inappropriately impassive air, given the hero's quest to avenge a beloved daughter shotgunned to pieces in his presence."
— Ryan Stewart, Slant Magazine
"For obvious reasons ... Mel Gibson desperately needs a good movie. His fans need to see him in one. I am sorry to report...

Drew Barrymore's directorial debut is being criticized by some as more of a meta-movie than an original thought, but others seem to really dig it.
"The movie is miles more intelligent than most of the cream-of-wheat marketed to teenage girls. Funnier, more exciting, even liberating."
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"...clicks on so many levels — heartwarming family story, rough-and-tumble display of grrrl power and a secondary but tender and convincing romance..."
— Peter Brunette, Hollywood Reporter
"Whip It suggests what might have happened if Juno had gone to a high school as poky as Napoleon Dynamite's and decided that although her mother wanted her to be a beauty queen like Little Miss Sunshine, she'd rather just strap on roller skates."
— Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"The only thing that keeps [director] Barrymore's effort from playing like an American Movie Classics rerun is the soundtrack..."
— Robert Wilonsky, Village Voice
"There's a lot of underlying potential here,...

Despite a strong premise, Megan Fox, and a screenplay by Juno darling Diablo Cody, it appears Jennifer's Body is more than a little bit of a letdown.
"Jennifer's Body represents a cornucopia of ideas, both comedy and horror, and the determination of the filmmakers to simply play the odds of getting more elements right than wrong instead of pursuing a purer vision makes it a mixed viewing experience, though often a very strange and funny one."
— Ryan Stewart, Slant Magazine
"An unoriginal and mostly unscary horror-comedy from, surprisingly, the pen of Diablo Cody."
— Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
"A premeditated cult classic..."
— Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
"...this high school horror romp tackles its bad-girl-gone-really-bad premise with eye-rolling obviousness and, fatally, a near-total absence of real scares."
— Justin Chang, Variety
