Tony Stark is handing over his Iron Man suit to a teenage black girl… well, in the Marvel Comics series at least. Riri Williams made her fi rst appearance in Invincible Iron Man #7 – part of ‘Road To Civil War II’ series – and is a brilliant 15-year-old college student who builds her own armoured suit in her dorm. She will meet the billionaire inventor Stark – played in the movies by Robert Downey Jr – in a new installment due for release this month and will then headline a rebooted Invincible Iron Man series. Of course, Marvel’s Cinema Universe is very different from its comicbook world – we’re only up to the fi rst Civil War – but with Downey Jr indicating that he may soon be hanging up his Iron Man suit, it’s interesting food for thought. • The latest Marvel blockbuster Captain America: Civil War is reviewed on page 14. 5 TKE34_05-08_NewsReel.indd 5 15/07/2016 8:15 am Aaron Sorkin NEWSREEL SORKIN IN DIRECTOR’S CHAIR Celebrated screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is poised to make his directorial debut with the poker drama Molly’s Game.

  • The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway  by Nate Jones
    The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway By Nate Jones Spend a few minutes reading blog comments, and you might assume that Anne Hathaway’s approval rating falls somewhere between that of Boko Haram and paper cuts — but you'd actually be completely wrong. According to E-Poll likability data we factored into Vulture's Most Valuable Stars list, the braying hordes of Hathaway haters are merely a very vocal minority. The numbers say that most people actually like her. Even more shocking? Who they like her more than. In calculating their E-Score Celebrity rankings, E-Poll asked people how much they like a particular celebrity on a six-point scale, which ranged from "like a lot" to "dislike a lot." The resulting Likability percentage is the number of respondents who indicated they either "like" Anne Hathaway or "like Anne Hathaway a lot." Hathaway's 2014 Likability percentage was 67 percent — up from 66 percent in 2013 — which doesn't quite make her Will Smith (85 percent), Sandra Bullock (83 percent), Jennifer Lawrence (76 percent), or even Liam Neeson (79 percent), but it does put her well above plenty of stars whose appeal has never been so furiously impugned on Twitter. Why? Well, why not? Anne Hathaway is a talented actress and seemingly a nice person. The objections to her boiled down to two main points: She tries too hard, and she's overexposed. But she's been absent from the screen since 2012'sLes Misérables, so it's hard to call her overexposed now. And trying too hard isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when you consider the alternative.

  • Hate Crime in the Believer
    Nihilism and Mistaken Identity: (Self)Hate Crime in The Believer By Paul J. Kaplan, PhD Program in Criminal Justice in the School of Public Affairs San Diego State University Through an analysis of the (2001) film The Believer, this paper develops a theory of (self)hate crime. In The Believer, the young protagonist Danny Balint is a Jew who hates Jews. I argue that in Danny’s mind ‘Jewishness’ stands for the indeterminacy of postmodern human social life. In my analysis, Danny’s hatred emerges out of a desperate and deeply modernist search for an essential identity, an identity not offered by the postmodern world of what Danny perceives to be ‘nothingness without end.’ This analysis deepens current theories of hate crime by proposing that the bigotry and strain that purportedly underlie white hate crime can be better understood as an existential crisis in the face of radical indeterminacy. Keywords: “The Believer,” Hate crime, Postmodernism, Indeterminacy, Existential Crisis, Cultural Criminology. Take the great Jewish minds: Marx, Freud, Einstein. What have they given us: communism, infantile sexuality and the atom bomb. In a mere three centuries since these guys emerged from the ghettos of Europe, they’ve taken us from a world built on order and reason and hurled us into a chaos of class warfare, irrational urges and relativity, a world where the very existence of matter and meaning is in doubt. Why? Because it is the deepest impulse of the Jewish soul to unravel the very fabric of life until nothing is left but thread, nothing but nothingness. Nothingness without end .

  • The Nice Guys
    THE NICE GUYS Regia: Shane Black Interpreti: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Kim Basinger, Margaret Qualley, Matt Bomer Origine e produzione: USA / SILVER PICTURES, WAYPOINT ENTERTAINMENT Durata: 93' Los Angeles, anni Settanta. Lo sfortunato detective privato Holland March e Jackson Healy, un lottatore professionista, devono lavorare insieme per risolvere il caso di una ragazza scomparsa e la morte di una porno star, che apparentemente non sembrerebbero correlate. Durante le indagini, però, scopriranno una sconvolgente cospirazione criminale che arriva fino alle più alte sfere del potere. “'Noi come Bud Spencer e Terence Hill? Ma grazie, è un grande complimento'. La sensazione di leggera follia che aleggia sulla Croisette ieri ha accompagnato l’allegria contagiosa della coppia comica uscita dalla fantasia di Shene Blake: Russell Crowe (che si rivela insospettabile fan dei due Superpiedi quasi piatti) e Ryan Gosling, protagonisti di The Nice Guys. Holland March (Gosling) è un detective di scarso talento con figlia adolescente a carico (Angourie Rice) e Jackson Healy (Crowe) un ex poliziotto che si guadagna da vivere spaccando ossa a pagamento nella Los Angeles inquinata e corrotta di fine anni ‘70. Saranno costretti dalle circostanze, e dalla saggia e intrepida ragazzina, a allearsi per risolvere il caso di una ragazza scomparsa dopo aver girato un film porno. 'Due idioti che inciampano casualmente in questioni che non sanno gestire, ritrovandosi a scoperchiare una cospirazione di proporzioni gigantesche' secondo Black che li ha voluti per questa variazione sul tema della “buddy cop comedy”, un suo marchio di fabbrica già come sceneggiatore (Arma letale e L’ultimo boy-scout). A fare da sfondo a pasticci, scazzottate, misteriose sparizioni, la Hollywood Boulevard in piena decadenza piegata all’industria del porno.

The Believer Abstract This is a review of The Believer (2001). This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/9 Martin: The Believer Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, The Believer is a daring portrayal of a young Jewish man living a hopeless contradiction as a neo-Nazi. Darkly disturbing at times with its ironies, the film is ultimately an exposé into warped double mindedness and the spiritual hell reserved for its suitors. Danny Balint (boldly played by Ryan Gosling) is a twenty-two year old man with TNT in his veins who belies a youth that found him a star pupil in Jewish grade school. As a rising star in New York City's fascist circles, Danny finds purpose in attacking synagogues and spewing hateful rhetoric among a devoted band of followers. But, while directing all his reserves toward destroying impure races, Danny is wooed back to Judaism in positively schizoid ways.

Abstract I believe film has the power to transform people's lives and minds and to enlighten today's generation like any other medium. This is why I wanted to write my thesis about film distribution as it will determine the future of the industry itself. The way films are distributed, accessed and consumed will be critical in shaping our future entertainment culture and the way we approach content.
