DreamWorks Animation is going through a great period right now. Movies like "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" and "The Bad Guys" experimented with both tone and visuals and delivered two of the best and most acclaimed animated movies of the past few years. After the disappointing release of "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken," DreamWorks wanted to end 2023 back on top with the third installment in the "Trolls" series. "Trolls Band Together" brings the trilogy of animated jukebox musicals inspired by the Troll doll toys to a close with a film all about boy bands — including an actual Nsync reunion.
"Trolls Band Together" sees Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) reunite Branch's brothers — all part of a famous boy band — in order to rescue one of them from talent-stealing evil pop stars.
Though the "Trolls" movies aren't particularly known for their experimental animation or inventive visuals, "Trolls Band Together" looks...

Muse Watson Took An Intensely Physical Approach To Playing I Know What You Did Last Summer's Slasher
One of the cooler icons to emerge from the '90s teen-horror movie wave is the hook-wielding slayer of Jim Gillespie's "I Know What You Did Last Summer." The late '90s Kevin WIlliamson-penned adaptation of Lois Duncan's 1973 novel got a green light after Wes Craven's "Scream" became a smash hit. This time, the killer would don a hooded rain slicker and boots in seaside North Carolina, where quartet of teens' lives would change forever. Brainy brunette Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), rich, arrogant jock Barry (Ryan Phillippe), blonde beauty queen Helen ("Buffy's" Sarah Michelle Gellar), and aw-shucks everyman Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) are drunkenly celebrating their high school graduation when they hit a man with their car -- then they dump his body and swear to keep quiet. A mystery stalker taunts them a year later with notes proclaiming the film's title. For most of the movie,...

I previously profiled this new still-in-the-works documentary film from Chicago-based Kartemquin Films ("Hoop Dreams," "The Interrupters," "The Trials of Muhammad Ali"), titled "'63 Boycott," two years ago; they still need your help to complete it. Directed by Gordon Quinn ("A Good Man" documentary on choreographer Bill T. Jones), the film is about the 1963 Chicago school boycott, called “Freedom Day,” during which some 200,000 people, mostly school students, protested and marched over the school system's racist segregationist policies by then Cps Superintendent Benjamin Willis. The film...

A different time, a different mindset.Now it's been announced that on Tuesday October 22, the Chicago based documentary film production company, with many films to their credit, including Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters, A Good Man and No Crossover: The Trails of Allen Iverson, is going to have a special...

So naturally, Kartemquin is currently looking for anyone anywhere who was invloved in the boycott, in any capacity, whether as a student...
