The events empower children to practice their reading skills and put their love into action, increasing public awareness of saving pet lives through adoption, kindness, and volunteering.
It was music to the ears of shelter pets last weekend as approximately 500 children across the country read “What Will I Do With My Love Today?,” Chenoweth’s new tale of kindness and pet adoption.

In show business, some child actors don’t make the jump, with the industry stalling their careers by adulthood.
But not Alex Wolff.
Having enjoyed early success by the time he was 10 with his brother Nat on the 2007-09 Nickelodeon mockumentary series The Naked Brothers Band, which revolved around them and their band and was created by their mom, Thirtysomething actress Polly Draper, Alex since has blossomed into a nuanced actor, sublimely disappearing into gritty parts. Take your pick: There’s Ari Aster’s Hereditary, in which he plays 16-year-old Peter, who, well, has something to do with his sister’s decapitation. At this past Tiff alone, Wolff had three film premieres: The Castle in the Ground, for which he lost 30 pounds to play an orphaned teenager who becomes addicted to opioids; playing a school news editor in the midst of the principal’s corrupt school system crisis in Bad Education...

Does an actor who writes a part for himself, then directs himself in that part, become a trio of collaborators or an unruly split personality? Not that either scenario can’t make for an interesting film, but outside of a handful of rock-star examples, usually starting with that “Citizen Kane” dude, it’s the kind of ambition that rarely reveals mastery of all three disciplines.
Twenty-one-year-old Alex Wolff, an ex-Nickelodeon star who lay to rest plenty of child-actor baggage last year with his searing turn as Toni Collette’s teenage son in “Hereditary,” hasn’t always been just a performer, having written music for the kid series he headlined with brother Nat (“The Naked Brothers Band”) and even a play that his actor-director mother Polly Draper staged at a small theater in New York.

“The Cat and the Moon” is the sort of first-feature project likely to make your average aspiring young filmmaker roll their eyes in exasperation. A showbiz professional since age 6, child of an actor and a jazz pianist, approaching big-screen stardom in recent hits “Hereditary” and “Jumanji,” actor/writer/musician Alex Wolff naturally steps into the director’s chair at age 21 with resources few wannabes will ever access. What’s more, “The Cat and the Moon” shows all external signs of being a little too indulgently “write what you know,” as it involves a teen (played by guess-who) dealing with jazz-musician father figures in the multihyphenate’s native New York City.
It’s impossible to keep harrumphing once “Cat” actually starts, however: Wolff has made a debut feature as impressive in its deliberate modesty and unpretentiousness as it is in matters of psychological nuance and technical skill. Lacking the kind of...

Wow … pre-Code pictures frequently offended conservative values, but this saucy ‘n’ sinful big business exposé is guaranteed to bring #MeToo advocates to their feet, demanding that the negative be burned. Loretta Young stars as a rather inconsistent modern maid, trapped between three less-than-scrupulous men. No, make that three total pigs.

My Friend Dahmer screens Friday, November 10th at 7:00pm at The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar) as part of this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Director Director Marc Meyers will be in attendance. . Ticket information can be found Here.
Before Jeffrey Dahmer became one of the most notorious serial killers of all time, he was a teenage loner. Conducting grisly experiments in a makeshift backyard lab, Jeff was invisible to most, until his increasingly bizarre behavior unexpectedly attracted friends. Based on the acclaimed graphic memoir by cartoonist John “Derf” Backderf — who was a teenage friend of the nascent serial killer and nearly became his first human victim — My Friend Dahmer chronicles the origins of the man, the monster — and the high-school senior. Ross Lynch portrays Dahmer in a performance that Paper Magazine describes as “haunted, sad, scary, and unforgettable,” and the exceptional cast includes Anne Heche, Vincent Kartheiser, Dallas Roberts,...

In 2013, filmmaker Marc Meyers took a trip to Bath, Ohio, to visit the suburb where serial killer Jeffery Dahmer spent his formative years. Several months earlier, Meyers had optioned the graphic novel My Friend Dahmer – a memoir by cartoonist Derf Backderf about his brief but intense high-school friendship with the man who would become known as the Milwaukee Cannibal – and he was figuring out how to adapt it into a film. "[Derf] said, 'You're welcome to come by for a couple days and I'll show you around where I grew up,...

When someone kills seventeen people over a thirteen-year span with words like necrophilia and cannibalism circling each murder, sympathy for the predator — not his prey — is neither the first nor hundredth emotion that should come to anyone’s mind. I’m not certain there could be room for anything but disgust whether you’re a stranger, a family member, or an old friend reading the news. And yet we try to find motivation nonetheless. We wonder about how someone could become such a monster right under our nose without ever suspecting it. There’s this unavoidable sense of morbid fascination because we can’t fathom doing what he’s done. The need to therefore discover what in his life drove him to that point trumps everything. We seek reason in the unreasonable.

Foyle’s War Sunflower
B Van Heusen
As a police officer, Foyle sometimes had to get his hands dirty. As an MI5 operative, he is increasingly having to leave his moral compass at the door as he attempts to see “the bigger picture.” His task in Sunflower was particularly unsavory as he was charged with protecting a notorious Nazi war criminal — Karl Strasser. The fiend in question had switched allegiances at the end of the war and was proving to be a valuable “asset” for MI5. Unfortunately for him, both the Soviets and the Americans had been tipped off and it was a question of seeing who could nail him first.
The season as a whole has been rather dark but Sunflower was particularly disturbing as we saw Tommy Nelson’s flashback’s of the wartime massacre that Strasser presided over in a field full of sunflowers. The only satisfying...

Chicago – Kelly Reichardt’s “Meek’s Cutoff” is certainly not a film for everyone. It features long, drawn-out scenes that are not only free of dialogue but basically just feature sorrowful people walking to the rhythm of the wagon wheel and the tune of the blowing wind. For the right viewers, these passages will frustrate but if you give yourself over to this remarkable film, they will build tension inside of you in a unique, discomfiting way.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
Very few films have ever conveyed an impending sense of doom as successfully as this one. And the key questions of Jon Raymond’s screenplay are timeless: Which way do you go when you’ve lost the map? Who do you trust when you can’t see beyond the horizon? How does someone simply keep moving forward when it’s so unclear where we’re going?

The Woman has generated some controversy based on its misogynistic tones and scenes of torture. Early reviews from major news sources have called the film "an hour and a half of brutal misogyny" (Reporter) and "devoid of wit, flair and thematic focus" (Variety). However, most critics agree that the film is out to shock and there is often an audience for films that will push boundaries. The Woman will premiere in the United Kingdom August 27th and North America October 14th.
Part of the premise for The Woman is this focus on a feral person captured in the wild. Strangely, this is not an uncommon occurrence, with hundreds of stories of feral people being found in jungles and forests locally and abroad. Recently, there was a report of a Cambodian woman found malnourished and partially naked in Rattanakiri Prov. (2007). Her speech was imparied and her ability to socialize was diminished.

A staple of many classic western movies is the wagon train. Each wagon’s full of eager settlers about to begin a new life. There was even a TV show called “Wagon Train”. Most times these folks would arrive at their new home on the prairie and put sown stakes. But what happens when they don’t make it to their promised land? The most extreme case maybe the story of the Donner party. Things don’t quite get that desperate in Kelly Reichardt’s new film Meek’S Cutoff. but the new West isn’t the utopia depicted in many classic film portrayals. Here, the roughest part of the journey may be the conflicts within this small group.

Director: Kelly Reichardt Writer: Jonathan Raymond Starring: Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood, Paul Dano, Shirley Henderson, Will Patton, Zoe Kazan, Neal Huff, Tommy Nelson, Rod Rondeaux Loosely inspired by a true story, Meek’s Cutoff tells the story of a small group of pioneers’ 1845 attempt to relocate to Oregon via a tortured journey along the Oregon Trail. With all of their remaining worldly possessions loaded in wagons and all their faith placed in their guide, the grizzled and slightly sinister trapper and mountain man Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), they are attempting an arduous trek across the roughest of country in hopes of starting over in a new land. While on its face Meek’s Cutoff is a fairly simplistic and straightforward film, scratch just under the surface and you find that it operates on multiple levels. The film’s unwavering starkly realistic atmosphere and minimalist mood are set early, from the...

Silence and emptiness. A three-wagon train following a bearded man in a buckskin outfit tramps across vast scrubby plains and cracked white earth. This is how Kelly Reichardt introduces her small band of weary travelers, who have broken from the Oregon Trail in 1845 and followed mountain man Stephen Meek, who either doesn’t know the way or for some reason is delighting in leading them astray. The men are ciphers in their stoic misery (one even refuses water until he collapses) while the women run the gamut of superstitious and terrified, meek and pregnant, and a little sharper and tougher than all the rest.

Synopsis:
The year is 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, and a wagon train of three families has hired mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a short cut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage. Over the coming days, the emigrants face the scourges of hunger, thirst and their own lack of faith in one another's instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a...

Michelle Williams, Best Actress-nominated for her performance in Blue Valentine, is easily one of the finest working actors today. Re-teaming with her Wendy and Lucy director Kelly Reichardt, she leads Meek’s Cutoff, a bleak and beautiful western journey. I reviewed the film at Tiff, where it was one of my favorites at the fest and now it is getting a limited theatrical run.
The western drama also stars (a nearly unrecognizable) Bruce Greenwood, Will Patton, Zoe Kazan, Paul Dano, Shirley Henderson, Neal Huff, Tommy Nelson, and Rod Rondeauxn. The first trailer, which can be viewed below via Apple, gives off a There Will Be Blood vibe, even the film is more methodically paced.

I'm at a point in my life that the last thing I want to see is a "liberal guilt" picture, which is why I need to say, loudly and immediately, that Meek's Cutoff is very much Not an exercise in pointing the finger at you. It is about a group of characters caught up in history, and while some may be more righteous in their deeds, none are more right in their beliefs.
We meet, in deliberate, wonderfully framed long shots, a small band of travelers on the Oregon Trail. Their specific goals are vague other than "going West" and "claiming for America." The leader of the group is played by Will Patton, though before each decision he confers with the other men on the trip played by Paul "Always Awesome" Dano and Neil Huff. Their guide, however, is a bearded, longhaired and absolutely badass Bruce Greenwood.

Director: Kelly Reichardt Writer: Jonathan Raymond Starring: Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood, Paul Dano, Shirley Henderson, Will Patton, Zoe Kazan, Neal Huff, Tommy Nelson, Rod Rondeaux Meek's Cutoff follows the path of three families in 1845 on the dusty Oregon Trail who have made arrangements with a grissly guide by the name of Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood) to lead them and their covered wagons through the Cascade Mountains. Meek, a man of heavy self proclamation, has ignorantly lead his clients astray on a seemingly endless journey that begins to wear on his followers who begin to question his abilities and judgement. After days of broken promises from Meek, and after capturing a lone curious Native American man (Rod Rondeaux), Emily Tetherow (Michelle Williams) rises up to lead the rest of the party in following the guidance of the Native American who could take them out of the arid valleys to water.

Director: Kelly Reichardt Writer: Jonathan Raymond Starring: Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood, Paul Dano, Shirley Henderson, Will Patton, Zoe Kazan, Neal Huff, Tommy Nelson, Rod Rondeaux The opening title -- which, hand-stitched in embroidery, establishes the intricately crafted nature of Meek’s Cutoff -- informs us that the characters of this tale are on the Oregon Trail in 1845. A small caravan of three families with covered wagons tediously crosses a river, first by walking the contents of their wagons across, then returning for the wagons and animals. Outfitted in the shabby worn-out clothing of 19th-century emigrants, the characters concentrate intensely on the difficult task at hand and do not utter a single word. In fact no one speaks for the first several minutes of Meek’s Cutoff, that is until we hear the voice of a young boy (Tommy Nelson) reciting a Biblical passage about Eden from the Book of Genesis.

Stepping out on the red carpet for one of her many new projects, Michelle WIlliams attended the "Meek's Cutoff" premiere during the 67th Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy on Sunday (September 5).
Held at the Sala Grande Palazzo Del Cinema, the soon-to-be 30-year-old actress looked stunning as she joined castmates Neal Huff, Bruce Greenwood, Tommy Nelson and director Kelly Reichardt for the weekend screening.
With the film being drawn from diaries kept by Western-bound pioneers, "Meek's Cutoff" is the second time in which Miss Williams has worked with director Reichardt.
Of her hankering to choose Michelle, Kelly told the AP earlier today, "I love working with Michelle. She is very game for the kind of films we are making. They are really hard and there are no comforts at all."
Meanwhile, "Meek's Cutoff" is among 23 films in the running to win the prestigious Golden Lion award, which will be handed...

Beyond the break you can now watch the first trailer for Andrew van den Houten's Offspring, the latest Jack Ketchum adaptation, which was actually written by Ketchum. Survivors of a feral flesh-eating clan are chowing their way through the locals. Amy Halbard and Claire Carey strive to survive their abduction by the cannibals and save their children. A subplot involving Claire's despicable husband, Steven, gives an opportunity to cleverly compare predatory civilized folk to the appetite-driven primitives. Art Hindle, Pollyanna McIntosh, Ahna Tessler, Amy Hargreaves, Eric Kastel, Andrew Elvis Miller, Spencer List, Tommy Nelson, Jessica Butler and Rachel White all star.

The latest adaptation to spring from the Jack Ketchum's oeuvre is the Andrew Van Den Houten-directed Offspring , a sequel to the notorious survival horror epic Off Season (which has not yet been adapted). Working from a script by Ketchum, the film lensed last year in Michigan with a cast that includes Art Hindle ( interview ), Pollyanna McIntosh, Tommy Nelson, Spencer List and Eric Kastel.

This Thursday, Offspring will screen for the first time in Berlin to distributors from all over the world.
