There are hundreds of ways to die in a bomber plane and you will see all of them in Apple TV+’s latest war drama series Masters of the Air. From the producers of epic shows like The Pacific and Band of Brothers, we get sort of a third entry in the World War II series by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Created by John Shiban and John Orloff, the World War II drama series revolves around the pilots in the 100th Bomb Group, as they take the war to Hitler’s doorsteps.
Like the previous two WWII shows by Spielberg and Hanks, Masters of the Air is also incredibly epic and poignant. From the first few episodes you might think that the Apple TV+ series is just a cool action drama with some really depressing moments but it soon shows us the horrors of war and...

Austin Butler, Barry Keoghan, and Callum Turner are hitting the red carpet to promote their new Apple TV+ series!
The co-stars stepped out for the UK premiere of Masters Of The Air on Monday (January 22) held at Picturehouse Central in London, England.
Here’s a synopsis of the series: Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed.

Attention all Clockwork Orange and Stanley Kubrick nerds: watch Florian Frerichs' Alex, a short film tribute to Kubrick's ultraviolence epic. Klaus Kinski's son, Nikolai Kinski, stars as a young man who embodies Malcolm McDowell's Alex after a futuristic city is crushed by a wave of violence. The uprising is sparked by a bloody war between the city's youth and the ruling class after Kinski's character stumbles across a "partial copy" of Kubrick's famous film. The droogs are reborn. The film will be released "Europewide" next January, but as Bleeding Cool states, there could be some legal barriers. We also have to wonder what Kubrick would make of the video. Feel free to interpret the short 50 ways till sundown, because...

Pola Kinski says the actor, who died in 1991, subjected her to 14 years of sexual abuse and violence from the age of five or six
The eldest daughter of the German actor Klaus Kinski has claimed she was sexually abused by him when she was a child.
In an interview, Pola Kinski said her father, best known as the lead actor in films by the director Werner Herzog, repeatedly raped her over a 14-year period.
"He [Klaus Kinski] started touching me and kissing me with an open mouth when I was quite small, around five or six years old," she told Stern magazine in an interview published on Thursday, ahead of the publication of her autobiography in Germany next week.
Twenty years after his death the self-taught actor who became something of a German legend, is unable to answer the claims. But his daughter said that having spent years living in fear that...

Hal Hartley, one of the most prolific American independent directors, has recently released a collection of films titled “Possible Films Volume 2.” Hartley’s career dates back to the 1980s, when he shot his first feature, “The Unbelievable Truth.” Since then he has directed more than 20 shorts and features. His films borrow stylistic traits from European arthouse cinema and the American avant-garde. He has also delved into playwriting with his play “Soon,” staged in Europe in 1998 and the United States in 2001 respectively, being published this year.
His new DVD is available from Microcinema International. The DVD consists of five films, which are characterized by cinematic austerity and poetic anti-representationalism. Hartley follows the political modernist dictum that it is not enough to produce for a medium but to change it as well and the result is five films that challenge film language and form. This DVD release is the occasion for an...

If you can handle the word "drama" in with your horror, I think you might get behind Julie Delpy's period piece The Countess, which tells the true story of the legendary Elizabeth Bathory, who inspired many a vampire myth with sadistic rituals that included bathing in the blood of virgins. Beyond the break you can check out the first trailer that looks pretty interesting as it goes from romantic to haunting (I think the shot of her at the fireplace at the end says it all), along with a long synopsis. Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Daniel Bruhl, Radha Mitchell, Vincent Gallo, William Hurt, Maria Simon, Andre Hennicke, Anna Maria Muhe, Adriana Altaras, Sebastian Blomberg, Katrin Pollitt, Nikolai Kinski all star.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands -- In his biopic of Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, Raul Ruiz has refused to be hidebound by the facts and has instead made a film that he claims is true to the artist's vision of the world. The result is a pleasingly discursive film that depicts Klimt and the ideals and locales of fin de siecle Vienna.
Only problem is that "Klimt", which screened at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, feels too brief for its wide-ranging subject matter -- a result of the producers' decision to trim Ruiz's original 129-minute cut to 97. Long and short versions screened at Rotterdam, though only the cut "international" version was shown for the press.
Ruiz's recent films have played in the U.S., and this should do reasonable business with art house audiences. Klimt's painting "Judith" is a staple image of greeting cards and poster prints, and that will be a boon to the marketing, as will the presence of John Malkovich in the title role. But narrative jumps in the cut version do make it more abrupt than Ruiz evidently intended, and this will irritate some viewers.
The story begins in 1918 with Klimt being visited on his deathbed by Egon Schiele (Nikolai Kinski), the artist who inherited his mantle. It then backtracks through Klimt's memory to explore his life in the salons of Vienna and Paris in 1900. Ruiz presents detailed discussions about Klimt's aesthetics -- he was a prime mover in the Austrian Secession movement, an offshoot of Art Nouveau -- via arguments with his critics.
He also sets the eroticism of Klimt's work in the context of the sexually liberal times. Philosophically, there's much ado about the relationship between image and reality, something that reflects the painter's work and Ruiz's film. Klimt seems to sum up Ruiz's work when he snaps, "It's not a portrait, it's an allegory," at an admirer of a picture.
Malkovich is gruff and internal, portraying Klimt as a harassed man with an explosive temper. Ruiz occasionally plays with the camera -- for instance by rotating backgrounds behind static characters -- but generally the look manages to appear stately without drawing undue attention to itself. The turn-of-the-century sets are well-realized and don't look too glossy.
