Directed by Paul Ziller, Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans begins in the cozy setting of Sir Alistair’s beautiful castle, where Goldy and Marla are catering a fundraising night. The castle is filled with guests and stunning medieval decorations, setting the stage for Sir Alistair to make some big announcements. But just as he’s about to speak, he collapses to the floor, dead! Everyone is shocked. Could the murderer be among the guests? Adding to the chaos, conman Edmund Schultz has escaped from prison, and US Marshal Gerard Track is here to sniff him out. Did Schultz crash the party, or was he the killer? Also, there is another twist to the story: Edmund is actually the father of Tom, the main detective in the case, who was also at the party! With so many enemies of Sir Alistair, the case becomes incredibly complicated. But fear not, because what we...

There were movies about the Holocaust long before "Schindler's List." Superb movies. George Stevens' "The Diary of Anne Frank," Stanley Kramer's "Judgment at Nuremberg," Alan J. Pakula's "Sophie's Choice," and Paul Mazursky's "Enemies, a Love Story" (to name but a few) grappled with this staggeringly evil, carefully coordinated campaign of genocide so that moviegoers could, hopefully, comprehend how ordinary people could become bigoted, bloodthirsty monsters. The answers weren't comforting, but we couldn't move forward as a species without them.
Aside from the "how," there was another agonizing question that needed to be answered, one that was not as easy to dramatize: why didn't more people step up to stop this?
It doesn't take a great deal of research to realize that most good people were paralyzed by a mixture of cowardice and self-preservation. And while it is vital that we keep hammering home this observation for future generations,...

Apple Original Films’ Killers of the Flower Moon marks the 16th time Martin Scorsese has worked with either Robert De Niro or Leonardo DiCaprio in a feature-length film, yet it’s the first Scorsese film that includes both actors in starring roles. Scorsese and De Niro began their 50-year association with 1973’s Mean Streets. 1976’s Taxi Driver, 1977’s New York, New York, 1980’s Raging Bull, 1983’s The King of Comedy, 1990’s Goodfellas, 1991’s Cape Fear, and 1995’s Casino followed, cementing their relationship as one of the most successful actor-director teams.
After a nearly 25-year break, Scorsese and De Niro reunited for 2019’s The Irishman, and now they’re back together again for 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
During the two-decade break in the Scorsese / De Niro films, the Oscar-winning director cast Leonardo DiCaprio in 2002’s Gangs of New York, 2004’s The Aviator, 2006’s The Departed, 2010’s Shutter Island, and...

More than three and half years have gone by since it was announced that Krysten Ritter would be re-teaming with Don’t Trust the B- in Apartment 23 creator Nahnatchaka Khan (who went on to create Fresh Off the Boat after Don’t Trust the B- ended) for a dark comedy series based on author/stand-up comedian Charley Warady’s novel Serial Killers Anonymous. But while Khan has gone on to direct two feature films since that announcement – the rom-com Always Be My Maybe and the time travel slasher Totally Killer – there hasn’t been any further word on Serial Killers Anonymous. The Hollywood Reporter decided to ask Khan about the project while she was doing press for Totally Killer, and she told them there’s still a chance the dark comedy series could happen.
Khan was asked, “In 2020, it was reported that you and Krysten Ritter were reuniting for a dark comedy/serial killer series.

The wellspring of creativity resides within the human mind. Amid the monotony of daily routines in a static world, people find solace in creativity and imagination. Within the confines of a mundane office setting, we all yearn for a room of our own, where the regular cacophony fades, and we can function attentively to bring out the best of our work. In this place, the hidden brilliance of an individual that gets lost in the crowd could thrive once again.
Drawing inspiration from Jonas Karlsson’s novel The Room, Joachim Back’s inaugural feature, Corner Office, explores a similar notion. It envisions a haven where reality’s limits disappear, letting people express themselves and their creativity. Unfortunately, only a few can create such a haven. Like the film’s main character, Orson (played by John Hamm), a typical office worker who excels only in his personal inner chamber at work...

Adapted from Swedish novelist Jonas Karlsson’s The Room, director Joachim Back’s Corner Office opens with Orson (Jon Hamm) arriving on the first day of his new job at The Authority. The company, housed in a monolithic, brutalist tower, is likely what the average person thinks of when they think of “Kafkaesque.” Whatever services its workers provide remains a complete mystery, and Orson, the consummate employee, adheres to a strict efficiency-maximizing routine and looks down on his co-workers, particularly his deskmate Rakesh (Danny Pudi), for what he takes to be laziness and incompetence. His stated desire to become “a person to be reckoned with” would seem to be out of joint with his subservience.
While hunting for office supplies, Orson stumbles across the titular office, seemingly unused. For him, this room represents the pinnacle of design, what with its precision layout, the abstract paintings adorning its wood-paneled walls, its lighting,...

"They don't care about you! You're a number in a column on a spreadsheet...!" Lionsgate has revealed the official trailer for an indie film called Corner Office, a workplace comedy in the same vein as Office Space and "Severance" with a few tricks up its sleeves. There's been many of these corporate-work-sucks series recently, such as "The Consultant" and "Glamorous" and "WeCrashed" and "Industry", along with all the classics like "The Office". This premiered at last year's Tribeca Film Festival, and played at the Raindance & Fort Lauderdale Film Fests. In this office satire, Jon Hamm plays Orson, a straight-laced employee at a big, generic corporation who discovers a blissfully empty corner office to get away from his colleagues. But why does this seem to upset them so much? What is really going on? Starring Danny Pudi, Christopher Heyerdahl, Allison Riley, Shawn Macdonald, and Sarah Gadon. That is one magnificent mustache on Hamm,...

Actress Aubrey Plaza, who plays the role of Sarah in ‘Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre’, has shared that her character is extremely competitive and wants to prove herself in front of Jason Statham’s character of Orson.
Elaborating on the character, she said: “Sarah is extremely competitive and wants to prove herself to Orson. That’s what drives her. Nathan is like the group’s father figure. Orson and Sarah poke fun at him all the time, but they love him – much like we do with Cary Elwes.”
The film is an action-comedy directed by Guy Ritchie. It also stars Hugh Grant and Bugzy Malone. It follows the story of super agent Orson Fortune and his hunt for a deadly weapon as he goes toe to toe with a billionaire arms broker.

We previously learned about Astrid’s backstory in “Welcome to Eden,” episode 5, how her father’s death infuriated her and drove her to seek vengeance on Som’s father, who was responsible for this catastrophe in her life. Eloy’s life, on the other hand, was saved thanks to Isaac’s relentless plea to his parents. Eloy returned to his friends and informed them of Astrid’s interplanetary communication. Bel’s rebellious group believed that they needed to act quickly before Astrid relocated them elsewhere and destroyed their lives forever. Let’s see whether Bel and Zoa can stop Astrid from wreaking further havoc in their lives.

Previously, in “Welcome to Eden,” Episode 3, Nico learned that Saul had threatened Astrid with death. Saul was the one who’d even attacked Erick and stabbed him. Saul, however, had to kill Nico by stabbing a knife into his neck while he was on his way to hand himself in. After Nico vanished, Eden implemented a voting system, and it was agreed that senior staff would determine who would survive and who would die. Saul, meanwhile, was planning a follow-up assault on Astrid while revealing his identity as the assailant who stabbed Erick. Furthermore, Mayka assisted Charly and Africa in escaping the cell, yet, Africa struck Saul in the head to protect Astrid. Though Africa had a chance to survive as she saved Astrid’s life, Charly was able to get out of the cell in the interim. Let’s see what decision Astrid would take against Charly.

Previously in Episode 1 of “Welcome To Eden” Season 2, we saw Africa being captured by Astrid after discovering the transmission room. Though Astrid planned to kill her later, Erick, who had recently recovered from his injury, wanted to protect Africa. He informed Africa of their interplanetary endeavor to discover a new Eden and relocate there. Africa didn’t buy it, but Erick appeared to be telling the truth. It could have been a fervent belief or the final truth that Astrid’s cult was working towards. However, Zoa and Gabi met in Eden and chose to keep their relationship a secret. Following Ulises’ death, level-two guards were instructed to identify the murderer, and Eva assisted them by claiming that Eloy had killed Ulises. Danae, one of the level-two security personnel, mercilessly tortured Eloy. Astrid gave the order to kill Eloy the next morning, and Alma was given the duty.

Editor’s note: This review was originally published at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. Lionsgate releases the film in theaters and on VOD and digital on Friday, August 4.
Orson (Jon Hamm) is an upwardly mobile corporate drone who suffers from Main Character Syndrome in a Kafkaesque work environment, his arrogance so vigorously rubbing against his anonymity that the friction created between those two forces is almost powerful enough to sustain the ultra-droll office satire that “Corner Office” constructs around it. Adapted from Jonas Karlsson’s lightly surreal (but extremely Scandinavian) novella, “The Room,” Joachim Back’s feature-length debut promotes a typical skewering of corporate drudgery with the hint of a curious new twist.
Whereas stories about paper-pushing worker drones have been done to death — to the point that Back’s film can seem perversely familiar when it isn’t futzing with the blueprints of reality — the human cog at the center...
