A.D. Amorosi In 1972, director-writer Perry Henzell released his Jamaican crime flick “The Harder They Come” with singer-songwriter Jimmy Cliff — then, a burgeoning reggae star — as its anti-hero lead actor. For his menacing cinematic debut, Cliff provided the lion’s share of the film’s riveting soundtrack, with lilting songs such as “You Can Get It If You Really Want” and the movie’s title tune. Both the soundtrack and film (the latter released in the United States in 1973) became sensations. “The Harder They Come” brought island culture to the world beyond the Caribbean, and helped popularize reggae in the Americas. Along with his anthemic title song becoming an instant classic, Cliff’s “Many Rivers to Cross” was subsequently covered by Linda Ronstadt, John Lennon and Annie Lennox, among other artists. Along with being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, the Library of Congress deemed Cliff’s “The Harder They Come” worthy of preservation in the National Recording Registry as of 2021.

podcast I’ve Got News For You about her stint working for a female-owned pornography company called Afterglow.The Aussie star said that while the content she worked on was “pretty intense” – the productions ran “just like any other film set.”She explained that she’d recently developed a film which was a play on mainstream perfume ads, which generally make “zero sense.”“But like, they’re always so sexy, and it always feels like sex is about to happen when they’re sniffing each other’s necks and like, licking each other’s wrists,” Stasey said.“So I kind of came up with the concept of a perfume commercial that then becomes a lesbian threesome.”The Aussie star added that the section of the adult film industry within which she worked has “a lot of women” behind the camera and that she found the experience to be “very warm and kind and patient.”Stasey – who had her breakout movie role as Ellie Linton in 2010s “Tomorrow When The War Began” – first revealed she was directing short pornographic films for a female-led erotic site in 2021 but has since also continued with her acting career.She’s currently part of the ensemble Aussie cast for “Class of ‘07,” a comedy that has just dropped on Prime Video.The show also stars Emily Browning and Steph Tisdell.During her interview with IGNFY, the actress also opened up to host Andrew Bucklow about appearing in the iconic “I Still Call Australia Home” Qantas ad when she was just a kid.“I was really lucky that was filmed before the evolution of the green screen … it was all practical back then. I went to India, I was in Africa, I went to China, I went all throughout Australia,” Stasey recalled.“It was truly one the most incredible experiences of my life, but I was like 10 years old.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ at Glendale, AZ’s State Farm Stadium but luckily we spent all Monday morning catching up with a) her career-spanning, 44-song set lists, b) numerous costume changes and c) jaw-dropping production design.Now that the tour is officially underway though, we have more pressing questions for when we do get to see the “Anti-Hero” singer IRL.Mostly, how does one best prepare to see Tay-Tay live at one of her 50 remaining North American concerts?Thankfully, the New York Post had Lindsay Dove, an Arizona-based Swiftie who attended Saturday, March 18, tell us everything fellow concertgoers will need to know about what what to expect at an ‘Eras Tour’ concert.Want to see Taylor Swift live? Get tickets for all upcoming shows here.First off, Dove shared, “Leave with plenty of time, every line is insane when you’re with 70,000 other Swifties.”That’s a smart tip fans often take for granted — don’t wait until the last minute. Get to your show early or you might just miss “Shake It Off” standing in the merch line.In terms of what you can bring into the venue, Dove had the scoop for State Farm Stadium.“The stadiums have a clear bag policy,” she added. “You can bring a 16 oz water bottle in too.”We’re not 100% sure this stands for all venues on the tour but all fans should check their hometown venue’s FAQ ahead of time to ensure you don’t have a bag denied before entry.All that being said, Dove does have one regret about her ‘Eras Tour’ experience and wants to make sure Swifties in the future don’t make the same mistake.“Be sure you have space on your phone, and it’s fully charged.

Tim Gray Senior Vice President This year, all the Oscar-contending directors are nominated for original screenplay: the Daniels (Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert), Todd Field, Martin McDonagh, Ruben Östlund and Steven Spielberg (writing with Tony Kushner). This is the first time it’s happened in AMPAS history.  The only year that came close was 2017, when all five helmers had written or co-written their scripts, though they didn’t all get writing noms. So here’s Film History 101. In Hollywood lore, Preston Sturges is often credited as the first scribe to become a hyphenate, as writer-director of the 1940 “The Great McGinty.” But as with all Hollywood “facts,” there is only an element of truth here.

Ruben Östlund has been named president of the jury at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Cannes organizers announced Tuesday morning in Paris.Östlund is a two-time winner of Cannes’ highest honor, the Palme d’Or, which he won in 2017 for “The Square” and last year for “Triangle of Sadness,” which is currently an Oscar nominee for Best Picture.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Ruben Östlund, the Oscar-nominated director whose latest film “Triangle of Sadness” won last year’s Palme d’Or at Cannes, will be back at the French festival to preside over the jury of its 76th edition. Östlund is a Cannes regular, having won the festival’s top prize twice, for “Triangle of Sadness” in 2022 and for “The Square” in 2017. Before that, he presented two films at Un Certain Regard, including “Force Majeure,” which won the Jury Prize. “I am happy, proud and humbled to be trusted with the honor of jury president for this year’s competition at the Festival de Cannes,” said Östlund, who will be the first Swede to head the jury in 50 years, following the footsteps of Ingrid Bergman. “Nowhere in the film world is the anticipation as strong as when the curtain rises on the films in competition at the  festival.”

The Cannes Film Festival has appointed Swedish director and two-time Palme d’Or winner Ruben Östlund as jury president for its upcoming 76th edition, running from May 16 to 27.

For Farrell (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), he said that he was “destroyed” by “All Quiet On the Western Front.” “It’s a beautiful and powerful and important film,” he said. “It’s painfully relevant today, shockingly and shamefully relevant.” “I teared up watching Adam Sandler in ‘Hustle,’ trying to convince this guy that he needs to play better basketball or get out and how passionate he was,” said Brandan Fraser (“The Whale”). “I’m a softie, I tear up during ‘Ratatouille.'”
