Attention, readers: Do you suffer from Rage Deficit Disorder? Do you have difficulty maintining a level of anger proportionate to the horrors afflicting this world? We prescribe Darren Foster’s pill-mill doc American Pain, a film that is difficult to discuss using civil language, filled with some of the most hateful Americans not currently involved in politics or technology. Caution: Do not watch on a full stomach or before driving, and have something very comforting planned for after the screening.
Foster’s film profiles twin brothers Chris and Jeff George, the redneck counterparts to the Sacklers and others who made fortunes off the opioid crisis. Imagine ‘roided up, racist Florida jackasses, and it’s their faces you’ll see. If someone you care about overdosed in the ’00s, odds aren’t bad the drugs in question passed through one of their sham pain clinics.

MollywoodSoubin is endearing as the child-like Ambili but the film offers little else.Sowmya RajendranThe trailer of Ambili, which showed Soubin dancing with abandon for the ‘Njan Jackson Allada’ song, set up the anticipation for Johnpaul George’s second directorial. Anyone who has followed Soubin’s career trajectory would have been excited by the promise of his character. A child-like man with endearing quirks. And Soubin doesn’t disappoint. As the innocent Ambili who plays cricket with the kids and is easily cheated of his money, Soubin is entirely believable. Each time he smiles or cries, he does it with the guilelessness of a five-year-old, and it’s not a joke for a grown man to pull this off. He races around Kattapana in his cycle, does video calls with his childhood friend and now girlfriend Tina (Tanvi Ram) on his computer (she’s in Delhi), and writes bad yet strangely catchy poetry.

MollywoodSoubin's dance in the song was choreographed by Fawas who is a performer, actor and teacher.CrisChoreographer Fawas Ameer is tired on a Friday evening. Everyone who met him that day wanted to see him do the dance sequence from "Njan Jacksonallada" that he has choreographed with Pratheesh Ramdas for the film Ambili. Waving his hands around, he says he enjoys it – dancing, performing, moving all the time. He’d move around like a doll keyed up, he says. But sometimes, he may not just be in the mood. He is not quite a crowd-person. All that changes, of course, when he is onstage or in front of a camera. Fawas is a performer, before anything else. He dances, acts, performs and simply moves about wherever he is -- sometimes on the street he walks. He has been working in theatre and films for years now, but the dance sequence...

Mollywood'Guppy' bombed at the box office but earned good reviews subsequently.Tnm StaffMore than a year and a half after the Malayalam film Guppy starring actor Tovino Thomas hit the theatres, the film is set to be re-released. Actor Tovino, who is currently enjoying the success of his latest film Mayaanadhi, took to Facebook to announce that his 2016 film Guppy will be re-released in a few theatres in Kerala. Tovino shared a poster from the film that said Guppy will be re-released on January 21 at 8 am and will be shown in three theatres across the state - in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Malappuram. Directed by Johnpaul George, the film had failed to make an impact when it was initially released in August, 2016. However, people who had watched the film on DVD had shared commendable reviews about the movie a few weeks later. In October 2016, weeks after theatres across the state had stopped screening the movie, Tovino took to Facebook to ask social media users about their take on the possibility of re-releasing the movie. In his post in Malayalam, Tovino had said: "I am putting up this post as per the instruction of the producer. A lot of people had said that it was indeed a loss for them that they were not able to watch Guppy in the theatres. Did you make such comments sincerely? Shall we re-release the film? Will you all go and watch it?" Tovino had also said that scores of people were watching the movie on their phones and laptops and that this was the reason for asking whether Guppy must be re-released. Tovino's post had garnered widespread attention, with many users wondering why a good film like Guppy did not get noticed when it was released in the theatres. Although box office success eluded the movie when it was released, when the Kerala State Film Awards were announced in March, 2017, Guppy went on to win laurels. Vishnu Vijay bagged the award for the best background score, Chethal Jayalal won the Best Child Artiste Award, Stephy Xavier won the award for the Best Costume Designer and Suraj won the Best Singer (Male) Award, all for Guppy. Over and above this, the film's cinematographer Gireesh Gangadharan also received a Special Jury Award.
