The partial meltdown at the nuclear power plant at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979 was a perfect coalescing of factors in two senses. First, a series of cascading mechanical and human errors brought the plant close to a catastrophe that would have potentially made much of the East Coast uninhabitable, we’re told in the new documentary “Meltdown: Three Mile Island.” Second, coming as it did both within memory of the height of Cold War paranoia and days after the release of the film “The China Syndrome,” the disaster was perfectly primed to set off anxieties about the danger of atomic energy.
“Meltdown: Three Mile Island,” a new four-part documentary on Netflix, does an elegant job of braiding those two truths — that Three Mile Island was a narrowly averted nightmare scenario and that it lives on in the public imagination as an argument against nuclear energy. It can default,...

It’s a volatile time in our country. We are divided and there’s an extreme sense of civic unrest. As hopeless as many of us feel, there are heroes on the front lines who are protecting our constitutional freedoms when it comes to abortion rights, immigration rights, LGBTQ rights and voting rights — and those heroes are chronicled in the documentary The Fight which debuts today in select theaters and on demand.
Directed by Elyse Steinberg, Josh Kriegman and Eli Despres, who produce alongside Kerry Washington, The Fight debuted at Sundance earlier this year. Who would have known that this documentary would be so poignant during this pivotal moment in history when Black lives are being killed, trans women of color are being murdered, the well-being of immigrants is at risk and the Trump’s administration is doing everything they can to put civil liberties of marginalized communities in danger.

Arriving more than a decade too late in both its inspirational and foundational appeal, “The Secret: Dare to Dream,” a fictionalized adaptation of author Rhonda Byrne’s popular self-help book “The Secret,” traipses through familiar territory without enhancing anyone’s insight. This story, about a financially and emotionally taxed family learning to find light in the darkness and love in chance encounters, is a blundering attempt to hawk books while aping another famous author’s patented style. Littered with confounding clichés and hokey devices, director/co-writer Andy Tennant’s feature is the exact inverse of what a passionate romance should aspire to be, let alone one preaching the power of positivity.

Katie Holmes is thinking good thoughts as she uses her gift to impart the wisdom of The Secret.
Katie Holmes is set to headline a feature film adaptation of hit 2006 book The Secret. Rhonda Byrne didn’t just write a self-help book series with her works. She created the law of attraction, which breathed new life into the New Age spiritual movement. The Secret spawned the follow-ups The Power in 2009, The Magic in 2010, and Hero in 2013. Byrne aims to bring joy to the world by helping people control the universe with their minds, using the teachings of Madame Blavatsky and Norman Vincent Peale and a little bit of quantum physics.

"John Wick" and "Sicario" producers Thunder Road are assembling the action thriller "Smoke on the Water" which Basil Iwanyk and Kent Kubena will produce.
The script by Trey Callaway ("I Still Know What You Did Last Summer") and Rick Parks ("Ever After") deals with the worlds of offshore boat racing, high-tech open water drug trafficking and the so-called 'nautical narcotic highway' from Cuba to Key West.
The film has more of a "Fast and Furious" than "Sicario"-style tone of energetic and fun action, and will reportedly make good use of the still cinematically untapped world of Cuba as a filming location.
Thunder Road is currently developing "Gang Story" with Liam Neeson, "A Star is Born" with Bradley Cooper and "Splinter Cell" with Tom Hardy.

Those of you educated in the art of cinema- a rare and hardy group though you are- will perhaps instinctively recoil at any film project that openly describes itself as a “skiing dramedy.” And, if so, it reflects rather well upon your intellect. In this instance, however, there may be a saving grace and that is director Ron Underwood. If the name doesn’t immediately ring a bell it is because he has been relatively quiet on the big-screen during the last decade, but earned his renown with the consecutive films of Tremors and City Slickers, but now he is back and ready to direct an original screenplay entitled Woodchucks.
Underwood’s low profile of late is, broadly speaking, a consequence of a lack of good scripts post-City Slickers which culminated in the appalling The Adventures of Pluto Nash starring Eddie Murphy, which earned him a Razzie nomination and made huge box office losses.

Director Ron Underwood (City Slickers) is developing a new ski team comedy called Woodchucks. The film is based on a screenplay written by Len Britton (Precious Find) a former pro ski coach and Rick Parks. J. Todd Harris (Bottle Shock) of Branded Pictures Entertainment will produce along with Bradford Broyles and Britton. Branded's Marc Marcum will serve as a co-producer.
Woodchucks is a dramatic comedy that follows "a Vermont ski team as it tries to prevent a corporate resort developer from wrecking their local mountain. Principal photography is scheduled to begin at the top of next ski season on location in Vermont."
Underwood also directed Tremors, Heart and Souls, Speechless and Mighty Joe Young. He also was responsible for the craptastic The Adventures of Pluto Nash starring Eddie Murphy. Recently, he's been directing TV on series such as Heroes, Reaper and Ugly Betty.

The dramatic comedy follows a Vermont ski team as it tries to prevent a corporate resort developer from wrecking their local mountain. Principal photography is scheduled to begin at during the next ski season on location in Vermont. "It's been a long time since 'Downhill Racer,' and while 'Woodchucks' is certainly a lighter tone, it has the makings of the first exciting narrative ski movie in a long time," said Underwood. "I'm an avid skier and I can't wait to showcase the sport."...

Len Britton is a former professional ski coach. He was, even more, 2009 running for U.S. Senate as a Republican and told that understood problems Vermonters face. Britton is the father of five children and I believe he is the right person to pen such a scenario. Despite his only sci-fi movie wasn’t well-liked.
On the other side, Parks’ co-written Cinderella is far a better movie so no needs to doubt him. Rick Park is a Vermonter too and is partnered with Britton in the Vermont-based media company Britton-Broyles Media.

An old yarn has been restitched with '90s lacing in 20th Century Fox's "Ever After", a captivating new spin on the classic "Cinderella" story. Featuring Drew Barrymore as a sprightly, decidedly feisty Cinderella figure, the sumptuous film should especially delight young girls. Enchantingly lensed, adults will find it appealing as well, and down the line it should be a hit as a slumber-party rental.
Danielle (Barrymore) is no ordinary 16th century girl: She is prone to quoting Sir Thomas More when not scampering about her father's castle, climbing trees and tossing apples at itinerant princes. But Danielle's world is shattered by the death of her kindly father, and she must endure the treachery of her cruel stepmother (Anjelica Huston) and two stepsisters -- one a manipulative beauty (Megan Dodds) and the other a lethargic tattletale (Melanie Lynskey). While Danielle is subjugated to servantlike duties, her high spirits remain intact: In the '90s lexicon of much of the script, she is no victim.
Narratively, "Ever After" is ever amusing. It's a refreshing blend of adventurous escapades, personal treachery and individual growth. Screenwriters Susannah Grant, Andy Tennant (who also directed) and Rick Parks have concocted a frothy blend of all the best fairy tale ingredients and condensed it to a keen story of one girl's valiant personal battles against great odds. It will surely be an inspirational grid for young girls everywhere -- not to mention us older coots -- as they follow Danielle's daily battles.
Barrymore is enchanting and charismatic as the young girl who must survive the backbiting of her siblings and stepmother. Her spunky, athletic performance imbues her Cinderella-esque character with a dimension we haven't seen before. Huston is wonderful as her evil stepmother, while Dodds is well-cast as vainglorious, beautiful stepsister Marguerite. Dougray Scott is both dashing and humble as the apple of Danielle's eye, Prince Henry, while Lynskey brings particularity to the other stepsister, Jacqueline. Jeanne Moreau graces the production briefly, fittingly playing a Grande Dame.
Adorning the central story and magnifying it to its fullest dimension are superb technical contributions. Director Tennant ("Fools Rush In") has magically mustered his cinematic palette to most vivid scope. Under his wise, spry hand, "Ever After" is a visual treat. Cinematographer Andrew Dunn's atmospheric lensings of magnificent, castlelike settings truly give the film a sparkling air, while Michael Howells' production design is fittingly earthy, both harrowing and funny. Costume designer Jenny Beavan's adornments are eye-popping and clue us to the characters' personalities; in particular, Huston's intimidating hats are both amusing and forbidding. Topping it off is George Fenton's robust but dreamy score, another technical high note in this well-spun old/new tale.
