Ryuichi Sakamoto | Opus movie review (2024)

“Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus” is an hour and forty minutes of just that: Sakamoto playing. There is no introduction. There are no interviews. Sakamoto does not instruct the director, Neo Sora, on how to play the pool variant “Cutthroat” as Rick Danko did for Martin Scorsese in another farewell concert film, “The Last Waltz.” It’s just

Give a FECK!: Chaz Ebert on Her New Book About Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion and Kindness | Interviews

You make an important point in your discussion of Archbishop Desmond Tutu that forgiveness is not only a spiritual obligation but in the most practical sense “political expediency.” Many people might think that because an act helps to achieve a political goal it is somehow less “pure.” What do you think?

Space: The Longest Goodbye movie review (2024)

I also found it incredibly curious that Sukjin Han, a crew commander for one of the Mars simulations, was the only interviewee, be it study participant, scientific expert, astronaut, or family member—to concede that in order for a manned mission to Mars to actually succeed, there will need to be some self-sacrifice on the part

How Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Adapts the Un-Adaptable | Features

Michelle Rodriguez delivers plenty of stone-faced one-liners as the aptly named barbarian Holga Kilgore, and Regé-Jean Page is an undeniable scene stealer as the gallant, devastatingly heroic paladin Xenk, a character who perfectly encapsulates the kind of one-off character players might encounter when they need a hand dealing with a particularly difficult encounter. Though part

Outlaw Posse movie review & film summary (2024)

That said, the opening scene is some kind of instant classic, the kind that could have worked as its own short film and which makes promises that the subsequent proceedings cannot quite deliver. In it, a group of grizzled guys (Neal McDonough, Cam Gigandet, the inevitable M. Emmet Walsh) turn up in a dusty and

Skull and Bones Sinks Under Weight of Its Own Ambition | Video Games

The problem is that these sequences are only a small portion of the gameplay in “Skull and Bones,” which often comes down to shooting cannonballs at other ships or trying to ram them.
