Months before the 21-year-prison term of Sydney serial killer dubbed ‘The Mutilator’ is due to expire, the NSW Supreme Court has ordered Damien Anthony Peters to undergo a mandatory psychiatric and psychological examination. Peters was held guilty of murdering and dismembering the bodies of two of his ex boy friends. Trigger Warning: This story has details of a violent murder, which might be distressing to some readers.

But that doesn't mean the series is looking to make its stars feel uncomfortable.Recently, Minka Kelly sat down for an interview with  and revealed exactly how her discomfort with one planned nude scene led to a rewrite by writer-creator Sam Levinson.Kelly joined the HBO drama in the second season as Samantha, a wealthy would-be mentor of sorts to Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie), whom she hires as a babysitter for her son.According to Kelly, she signed on with the expectation of it being for a single episode, but her chemistry with Demie led to Levinson stretching the role out to something more significant that spanned the rest of the second season.However, on her very first day on set, Kelly said that there was one scene that she asked to have changed because she didn't feel right about the level of nudity involved.

Spike Lee has been in the headlines a lot lately. Obviously, he’s out there promoting his new Netflix feature, “Da 5 Bloods,” which arrived on the service last Friday.

Spike Lee is “deeply” sorry for remarks made in support of his fellow filmmaker Woody Allen amid longterm allegations of sexual abuse.

Spike Lee is “deeply” sorry for remarks made in support of his fellow filmmaker Woody Allen amid longterm allegations of sexual abuse.The Do The Right Thing director spoke out in defence of Allen during an interview on New York radio show In the Morning on Friday, insisting he disagrees with the way his pal has been blacklisted in Hollywood following molestation claims by his estranged daughter, Dylan Farrow.“I’d just like to say Woody Allen is a great, great filmmaker and this cancel thing is not just Woody,” Lee said.“And I think when we look back on it we are going to see that – short of killing somebody – I don’t (know) if you can just erase somebody like they never existed.”“Woody is a friend of mine… so I know he’s going through it

June 13, 2020Allen recently criticised “self-serving” members of the film community who denounced him in relation to the ongoing abuse allegations.“The actors have no idea of the facts and they latch on to some self-serving, public, safe position,” he told The Guardian.

Spike Lee will never allow anyone to remake his classic 1989 film Do the Right Thing – even after he’s dead. The Da 5 Bloods filmmaker’s movie about life in his beloved Brooklyn confirmed his status as one of Hollywood’s top auteurs and is often listed among the greatest films of all time.

Spike Lee has called on HBO Max bosses to reinstate Gone With the Wind on the streaming service because he feels “one of the most racist films ever” should be seen.The 1939 movie adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel about the American Civil War and Reconstruction Era South has been temporarily removed from the new platform due to the “racial prejudices” on display in the movie in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests against racial injustice following the death of George Floyd last month. But filmmaker Spike, who included footage from the film in his hit 2018 movie BlacKkKlansman, is urging the powers that be to reverse the decision and let viewers decide for themselves.

Earlier this week, the filmmaker, Spike Lee, came to bat for his friend in the movie-making business, Woody Allen. Allen has been accused of molesting his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, over twenty years ago and Spike Lee defended him in a new interview with 710 WOR’s In The Morning program.

Director and filmmaker, Spike Lee, says he doesn’t approve of the “cancel culture” that has come in conjunction with the #MeToo movement. Page Six picked up on comments from the Da 5 Bloods director today in which he spoke on his relationship with the Rainy Day In New York director.

Jordan Moreau Director Spike Lee has defended controversial filmmaker Woody Allen against being canceled by some people in Hollywood.In an interview on New York City radio station WOR’s talk show “In the Morning,” Lee shared his thoughts on how Allen has been treated with hosts Len Berman and Michael Riedel“I’d just like to say Woody Allen is a great, great filmmaker and this cancel thing is not just Woody.

In today’s edition of “why are you doing talking about this?” director Spike Lee raised his hand as a Woody Allen supporter for no reason at all and called him “a friend” amidst the sexual abuse allegations that have followed Allen for decades.

Ever since his debut with “She’s Gotta Have It” critics and audiences have noticed the timeliness of Spike Lee‘s movies — that the world he portrays doesn’t change for the better certainly has something to do with it. So now that his latest joint, “Da 5 Bloods” is premiering on Netflix in the middle of world-wide protests against police brutality and racism, Spike Lee is being asked about the timeliness of his film.

Because on most platforms, Netflix will try to autoplay something else once the credits get going.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticThis is the biggest weekend yet for new movies. Not only are more cinemas re-opening nationwide, but three relatively huge titles from big-name directors — Judd Apatow, Spike Lee and Kenneth Branagh — find their way straight to streaming as well, offering movie buffs myriad options to feed their appetite.The largest of these new releases is “The King of Staten Island,” which was supposed to open the SXSW Film Festival back in March, until that event was canceled by the coronavirus outbreak.

Director Spike Lee has slammed NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s apology to players, stating that his decision to exclude Colin Kaepernick from the statement was “weak”.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorComposer Terence Blanchard has collaborated with Spike Lee for over 30 years, going back to 1991 when the director tapped him to score “Jungle Fever.” Since then, Blanchard’s credits include over 15 Lee films including “BlacKkKlansman,” “Malcolm X” and his latest, “Da 5 Bloods,” now streaming on Netflix.The story of four Vietnam War veterans, played by Isiah Whitlock Jr., Norm Lewis, Clarke Peters and Delroy Lindo, who return to the to retrieve the body of their leader, Stormin’ Norman (Chadwick Boseman), the film flips between past and present as  Blanchard’s score threads the characters’ individual stories.

On this episode of The Discourse – the show where we discuss film and television news, reviews, and any other pertinent pop culture items that we feel the need to weigh in on – I’m joined by Kathia Woods (Cup of Soul, Philadelphia Tribune, Awards Watch) and Ronda Racha Penrice (Zora, NBC THINK, Atlanta Journal Constitution) to discuss the now four-decade spanning career of Spike Lee.

Renowned producer Spike Lee indicated on Friday that former Vice President Joe Biden got plenty of private backlash after he suggested that black Trump supporters weren't authentically black. “I think that Uncle Joe knows that he misspoke," Lee said during an appearance on "The View." "He got a lot of phone calls about that.

If you’ve been paying attention to the news or been involved in protests in the wake of the brutal killing of George Floyd, you probably have heard the message from people asking to “defund the police.” Unfortunately, depending on where you get your news from, you may not fully grasp what that movement is about. And this is something that Spike Lee thinks can be detrimental to the changes that people are hoping will happen.

Netflix still have plenty more to offer this week with plenty of new releases and all time favourites added.To help you navigate the streaming services a little more easily, here are the new films this week.In Spike Lee's first film since his Oscar win, Da 5 Bloods follows four young African American Vietnam veterans return to Vietnam in search of the remains of their fallen Squad Leader and the promise of buried treasure.In this fun family animation, a local scientist is often regarded as a failure until he invents a machine that can make food fall from the sky.

You would think that Spike Lee wouldn’t have much trouble finding a studio to finance and distribute his films. After decades of films that have been nominated for all sorts of awards and coming off his first Oscar win, it would stand to reason that a filmmaker would have a line of studios hoping to work with him.

the Oscar winner has four black men in their sixties meet up for a happy present-day reunion at a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.The buds — called the “Bloods” — are back to their former battlefield, we learn, to retrieve the remains of the fifth “Blood,” Stormin’ Norman (“Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman, in flashback).So, this must be Lee’s reckoning-with-’Nam film, you think. Movies about older men confronting the ghosts of that disastrous war is a popular club, with “The Last Full Measure” and Richard Linklater’s “Last Flag Flying” among the most recent members.But “Da 5 Bloods” is not some misty-eyed heart-tugger with Bob Dylan crooning in the background.
