Casino gambling has always been attached to glamour and style. Most people believe that visiting casinos belongs to the activity of rich people. Hollywood has created an additional image of the casino world, introducing characters like James Bond who live hard and rapid lives while drinking, gambling, and seducing women. All of that you can watch in the same movie.
Over the previous decades, things have significantly changed for the entire community. With the introduction of poker cha...
Festival to Open with “Just Mercy,” Close with World Premiere of “Verticals”
The ninth annual Napa Valley Film Festival (NVFF) has announced its film line-up, including Opening ...
Taking place every year in October, the HIFF is among the biggest events in the film industry. This year, there seems to be a familiar rhythm of narratives about Manhattan, especially in the New York theater industry. The footage from Time Square during the 1970s and late ‘60s would be a great place to start, showing the rats and garbage-filled streets with sex worker promenading in peep shows marquees.
In “On Broadway”, his richly illustrated documentary, Oren Jacob...

IFTA joined this summer CreativeFuture, the MPAA, and SAG-AFTRA in comments to the U.S. Department of Commerce on ways in which the U.S. government can help combat digital piracy which in the U.S. alone is estimated to cost between $30-$70 billion annually, between 230,000 and 560,000 jobs, and between $45-115 billion in GDP, as well as threatening consumers and our nation's cybersecurity with exposure to dangerous malware.
In the submission, the groups identified the following...

My friend, Vijoo
Of his reported 440 film count, I shared screen space with the late Vijoo Khote in only two. Yet, I could call myself his friend. During the 1970s and 80s, the refrain I often heard from producers and directors whom I approached for acting assignments was, “You are an educated man. Why are you pursuing a career meant for ‘good-for-nothing-else’ types?” Obviously, I saw no merit in this facetious argument. Nevertheless, in an active career of 26 years, ...
Thanks to the Internet, nowadays a simple search for “best movies to see now” can bombard you with a wide variety of mainstream movie results. But what if you wanted to see something beyond how many punches Jason Statham and The Rock received in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Although the film industry has recently become a money-making machine, there are a couple of places in the world where you can discover unknown independent movies worth watching and which yo...
IPTA’s 48th ICDC: Testament to teenage talent
An inter-collegiate short Hindustani (Hindi/Urdu) drama competition (ICDC), introduced by the Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA) 47 years ago, has captured the imagination of budding talent in Mumbai’s colleges. It was this contest that has given us actors like Aamir Khan, Kunal Khemu, Neha Sharad, Channa Ruparel and Deven Bhojani. The 48th edition took place, as usual, in September, attracting 23 entries from local educa...
2010 - The world was introduced to the Crawleys and their personnel. “Downton Abbey” took viewers by storm. I’m bed-ridden. I’m fighting a letter that more often than not, carries a death sentence.
Years pass by, I travel extensively in-between treatement sessions, I co-produce a documentary, and I write a lot. I’m young but I feel a higher sense of urgency. I eventually conquered, the beast is down.
2017 - R...

Just like sports, movies have been around for a very long time. However, it’s hard to get interesting sports films, though film producers have started working with sports personalities to give the viewers an immersive experience in different games. Nonetheless, the success of a
sports movie depends on how well the actors can pass as athletes to make the movie realistic and interesting to watch.
Below are some of the greatest sports movies of all-time.

If you love movies, you’ll probably have favorites in every genre such as dramas, actions and maybe horrors if your taste reaches that far. However, most people rarely think of sports as a genre when choosing the movie to play. That’s mainly because most people don’t find sports
movies interesting, though there is a number worth playing.
Let’s take a look back at some sports movies that are worth playing.

In a world where films play a significant part in shaping public consciousness, it’s only natural that their reach would extend beyond the silver screen. Chances are, you heard the opening words of this article in Don LaFontaine’s legendary grisly tone, as this modern cinematic trope has become so pronounced in the English zeitgeist - and this is just one example.
Don LaFontaine, the instantly recognizable voice artist who recorded more than 5,000 film trailers, was bor...
