Murder on the Orient Express,” a miserable, poorly cast, sleepy take on the author’s most famous novel. Bad on its own terms, the film was made even worse by the fact that Sidney Lumet’s superb 1974 version, starring Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman and Albert Finney, is a screen classic.Running time: 127 minutes. Rated PG-13 (violence, some bloody images, and sexual material).

led the company to bankruptcy after it bled more than $100 million in a single quarter. Moviepass first hinted at its plans for a relaunch in November, when Spikes bought the company in New York bankruptcy court for a meager $14,000. He said in court filings that company was testing a “new proposed business model with a sample group of 1,000 customers” in late 2021. The filings did not provide details of the new business model but did show that Spikes wanted to launch a full-fledged MoviePass comeback in the fall or winter of 2022. Spikes originally co-founded in 2011 but the service only gained steam in 2017 after it was purchased by Helios and Matheson Analytics, a data analytics firm.

Snoop Dogg is a fashion icon in his own right, so he may have a lot to say about someone else’s style — including a fellow rapper! The 50-year-old West Coast hip hop icon couldn’t help himself when it came to commenting on Kanye West’s latest wardrobe statement: a pair of knee-high Balenciaga x Crocs black boots. During a recent interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Snoop didn’t mince words when he said he would never be caught sporting such footwear, which Kanye boldly wore at Paris Fashion Week in January.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorDirector Steve McQueen’s new five-part anthology series, “Small Axe,” takes starts in the late ’60s and ends in the mid-’80s, following the West Indian community in London through the decades. Although each of the films serves as a standalone, the connective tissue is the Black West Indian experience and music — specifically reggae music.“With Black people in general and in the U.K., music has always been a part of our survival and refuge,” says McQueen, who will appear on Day 2 (Dec.

Early in Steve McQueen's Alex Wheatle, the young protagonist whose name gives the film its title prompts derision from a barber shop full of Londoners of West Indian descent by revealing that he doesn't consider himself African. "I might be Black, but I'm from Surrey," says the young Brit abandoned by his Jamaican parents, who has grown up in the loveless Social Services foster-care system.

One of 2020’s few joys has been Steve McQueen’s Amazon anthology “Small Axe,” a series telling, in some instances for the first time, the stories of the Black Brits who faced oppression during the ’60s and ’70s. While “Mangrove” touted empowerment through self-representation, “Lovers Rock” through music, and “Red, White and Blue” through reform from within, “Alex Wheatle” calls for literature as a gateway to freedom.

Watch Video: 'Small Axe' Trailer: John Boyega, Letitia Wright Tackle London Racism in Anthology SeriesWhen Alex arrives in Brixton, he’s a fish out of water in the neighborhood; neighbor Dennis (Jonathan Jules, “Fighting With My Family”) takes it upon himself to fix Alex’s wardrobe, hair and inability to speak the Jamaican dialect. “I’m not African,” Alex tells the barber who has referred to him as such.

With the arrival of Alex Wheatle, the fourth of five installments that make up Small Axe, Steve McQueen’s adamant and penetrating series of roughly hourlong dramas centering on the Black immigrant community experience in post-World War II Britain, the emerging core concern is the hypocrisy involved in the nation laying out the welcome mat to newcomers in the first place while denying opportunity once they’ve arrived. The theme could hardly be clearer than it is in this episode, which sees the eponymous young lad bounced around for years by social services before becoming involved in the Brixton Uprising of April 1981. The reason we’re seeing a film about him now is that, some years later, Wheatle emerged as a successful writer.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorCinematographer Shabier Kirchner shot all five films in the “Small Axe” anthology, working alongside director Steve McQueen. “Lovers Rock,” now streaming on Amazon, is the second film in the anthology and focuses on reggae music sub-genre of the same name which was frequently heard at house parties among the Black community, who were barred from going to clubs.
