Stephen King isn’t just an author by this point: He’s an institution, a legacy of classic horror stories that capture our imaginations, fuel our nightmares, and speak — when he’s at his best — to our shared experiences as flawed, emotional beings. The best King stories scare so many of us that we all feel connected, and even the worst are usually pretty fun.
King’s books and short stories quickly became hit movies, many of them celebrated in their time, and some flopped so hard that hardly anybody remembers them. Cataloguing every adaptation might be a fool’s errand, so we made some tough choices and decided to focus only on his theatrical releases.
And even then, there are so many King adaptations that it gets tricky. We’re not including the made-for-tv films (which are legion), and the sequels to King’s work rarely have anything to do with the source material,...

Mumbai, April 13 (Ians) Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who is known for creating the modern day classic ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, the disturbingly dark and beautiful ‘Ugly’, ‘Gulaal’ and ‘No Smoking’, is once again set to visit the French Riviera as his next film ‘Kennedy’ starring Sunny Leone has been selected for the Cannes Film Festival.

One Shot is a series that seeks to find an essence of cinema history in one single image of a movie. In Anurag Kashyap's socio-political drama Gulaal (2009), the stirring climactic lament "Duniya" encapsulates the filmmaker's disillusionment with the world: a world mired in deceit, greed, sectarianism, and megalomania; a world where goodness succumbs to the brute force of evil. This song sequence sees the naïve protagonist Dilip Singh (Raj Singh Chaudhary) slowly dying of his gunshot wound, culminating in the antagonist Karan (Aditya Srivastava) being declared the head of the secessionist Rajputana movement. The haunting crescendo by music composer-lyricist-singer Piyush Mishra underscores the close-up framing of Karan, whose devilish stare into the camera has been etched in the collective memory of Kashyap's admirers. Throughout his career, the rebellious auteur has had to bear criticism for exploring dark themes in his films, propagating cynicism, and indulging in downbeat endings. Like Dilip,...

There are not many Japanese pop musicians that can sell out concert venues outside of their home country. Recently, a younger generation of listeners gets hooked on the hedonistic vibe of the so-called “City pop”-genre, whose catchy 80s melodies spread throughout the internet and gathered a viral fellowship. But there is more to the Japanese music industry than just flashy neon lights and songs about heartbreaks.
No Smoking is screening at Japan Cuts
In “No Smoking” director Taketoshi Sado introduces the legendary producer, singer, actor, and bass player Haruomi Hosono, who gained international success as part of the electro band “Yellow Music Orchestra” and through his work on the soundtrack for Koreeda’s Academy-Award nominated film “Shoplifters” (2018).
Proceeding from a video and picture archive-based retelling of Haruomi’s upbringing in postwar Japan, the documentary increasingly connects stages of his past with the present by showing concert clips from the latest US tour.

A young student with a passion for drawing finds herself the target of school bullies. As the young artist vents her frustrations, one of her drawings comes to life to teach the kids a lesson in bullying
“Merah A.K.A. Red” acts as an amalgamation of the various means of visual storytelling that director Wan Dinnie utilizes. The production contains Rotoscope animation as in the short films “Hana” and “Cikgu Hana“. Meanwhile, it also contains some of the experimental camera work and colour pallets of “No Smoking” and “Alice“. The end result becomes a fun mashup of Dinnie’s various talents. As a result, “Merah” comes across as the most fully realized of the directors’ short films. In particular, the use of Rotoscope to make a the bullied student creation come to life leaves a strong visual impression when combined with the various visual elements.

A student is accused by his peers of smoking, the short film retraces the steps of leading up to the accusation to determine who the real culprit is, as well as reiterating the important choice for student’s abstain from smoking.
The premise of the short film, being pretty simplistic, does manage to tell the story in an interesting way by shooting the scene in reverse. At just over two minute run-time, the script does not really need to be strong, as it is more of a visual showcase. However, the intent to make an anti smoking message kind of gets muddy, and feels more like a dream one would have during cigarette withdrawal. it puts the production at an interesting point, where I can’t really tell where the message begins, and what is an excuse to create an experimental scene.
The visual and audio presentation is the real focus of the short film.

Vineet Kumar Singh stars as a low-caste boxer fighting for respect in Anurag Kashyap’s heavy-hitting social critique
An eclectic run of credits – bizarre psychothriller No Smoking (2007), Devdas update Dev D (2009), crime diptych Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) – have established writer-director-producer Anurag Kashyap as Hindi cinema’s foremost moderniser. He took a beating on Cotton Club-like period folly Bombay Velvet (2015), but his latest, Mukkabaaz (The Brawler) is a canny comeback bid: a heavy-hitting social critique disguised as a rock ’em-sock ’em sports movie. It follows the attempts of angry lower-caste boxer Shravan (Vineet Kumar Singh) to claw back personal and professional satisfaction after walloping the well-connected coach whose mute niece the boxer was wooing.
Kashyap’s own struggles to stay mobile within a stiflingly regulated, sometimes rigged system never seem very far from the surface. This film-maker’s preference for no-holds-barred realism over the prevailing comforts of melodrama manifests in characters who spit and curse,...

Demi Lovato stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, where she revealed a very fun and interesting fact about her "Sorry Not Sorry" music video. When Jimmy asked her about the inspiration behind the massive house party vibe in the video, she revealed it's actually all thanks to Snoop Dogg. "It was inspired by a house party that I had," she said. "All of a sudden my house is filled with pot smoke, everywhere. I was like, 'No smoking inside, get out, get out.' I wasn't going to tell Snoop not to smoke in my house so I was like, 'Ok, Snoop, do whatever you want.'" Good call, Demi.

Cbfc Chief Pahlaj Nihalani is on his way to ‘revolutionize’ the film industry and we should be thanking him for that. After the ‘sanskaari’ cuts, no foul language clause and also ‘no sexual liberation’ clause dictated by the man, he is also trying to impose a ‘no smoking-drinking clause’ in the films because let’s face it, its 2017 and we cannot make up our minds and we need films to teach us lessons about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Be it Devdas, No smoking, Go Goa Gone or Udta Punjab or Dev D, Bollywood has seen films on the issue and even had to run a ticker regarding the injurious effects of alcohol or tobacco usage but now, the level of forced moralisation has spread to a whole different level because as per our Censor Board Chief, Indian culture does not subscribe to the whole ‘smoking-drinking’ theory!

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Case Files,” the fifth episode of “Twin Peaks.”]
Almost a third of the way through its season, “Twin Peaks” has given a few more clues about where the show is heading, and it doesn’t look good. In fact, we’re afraid that history may repeat itself if Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) doesn’t snap out of his Dougie stupor and get back to solving crimes and eating pie.
Among a cast of 217 people, the show has brought back a number of familiar faces but has also introduced new players, some of whom have already met their untimely ends. In Episode 5, however, two new characters have given cause for concern, mainly because they’re giving off serious deja vu.

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.The key image in Part 5 of the revived Twin Peaks is of a woman in ecstasy. Recall, however, the subtitle that series co-creator/director David Lynch appended to his thorny 2006 masterpiece Inland Empire: "A Woman in Trouble." The line separating rapture and anguish is a blurry one, especially for Lynch's ladies, who are as likely to end up exquisitely chiseled corpses (the ubiquitous Laura Palmer; Part 2's doomed henchwoman Darya) as they are world-weary survivors. For the moment, let's focus on Rebecca "Becky" Burnett (Amanda Seyfried), daughter of Rr Diner waitress Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Amick), though Becky's last name—taken from ne'er-do-well husband Steven Burnett (Caleb Landry Jones)—obscures the identity of her father.

He tackles big issues but can’t resist adding jokes, once turning Hamlet into a story about rubber ducks. As The Other Side of Hope hits cinemas, the Finnish director talks about lazy actors, parking tickets – and his Holby City addiction
Twice a year, Aki Kaurismäki climbs into his battered blue Volvo and drives from his home in a Portuguese village all the way to Helsinki. “When I was young, with my Cadillac and lousy roads, it took three days,” says the 60-year-old Finnish director. “Now, with good roads, at my age it takes five.” A shrug. What does he play on the journey? “Otis Redding. Dylan. Finnish tango. I haven’t bought new music in 20 years.”
Helsinki is the setting for most of his humane and poker-faced comedies, including The Man Without a Past, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2002, and his latest gem, The Other Side of Hope.

Over the last two months we've seen the North American release of his five and a half hour crime epic Gangs of Wasseypur and the Indian domestic release of his kidnapping thriller Ugly, both after lengthy delays. Kashyap has not been twiddling his thumbs in the meantime, however, and he is now preparing the release of his jazz era crime film Bombay Velvet for release on May 15th.Bombay Velvet marks a milestone for Kashyap for several reasons. Most importantly for his film's box office future, the film is the first of his to feature A-list Bollywood talent in the top roles.

Looks like someone is leaving no stone unturned to promote his upcoming film Bang Bang. Bollywood celebrities seem to be on a mission to outdo each other when it comes to promotional tactics. Apart from the usual activities, Hrithik Roshan has now opted for a new move for trending his film on Twitter. He gives, what he fondly terms as 'Bang Bang Dare' to Bollywood celebrities who are always up for a challenge. Well according to the tweets, it seems that the idea cropped up after Nargis Fakhri dared her fans and others to try out a fitness challenge. Nargis' tweet read, "Living a healthy lifestyle is not easy. It takes will power to stay away from yum bad stuff. 8 days No coffee & No Sugar! I Dare You 2 Try!" In response to that, Hrithik Roshan tweeted back, "Now that's what a call a bangbang dare!!! I take the challenge!! I'm on!

It all begins with a freeze frame of a dirt road somewhere in Yorkshire county, lined with trees whose lush foliage converges above in an arch. What could it be if not a portal? The movie itself, meanwhile, has not even started as we watch the opening credits, encased in large old-fashioned frames, slowly fade away—a device consistently favored by Alain Resnais who opened each of his 19 features likewise, holding off the films themselves until the screen no longer contained any visual surplus. The freeze frame comes to life as the camera pans farther down the road; then we find ourselves in a theatrical set.
We have been here before, of course. Resnais' Smoking/No Smoking, also based on a play by British playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn, is set in Yorkshire as well. Life of Riley (Aimer, boire et chanter) borrows from the five-hour diptych its theatrical setting, one...

International colleagues have expressed concern at the news that Kateryna Kopylova, head of the Ukrainian State Film Agency since December 2010, was forced to resign her post at the end of last week.
According to the Ukrainian news agency Lb, the resignation had been tendered by Kopyleva “by mutual agreement”.
This development comes after the Maidan Square protestors took over Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture and appointed actor Evgeny Nishchuk as the new Minister of Culture.
Since then, the various professional associations have initiated an “open discussion” about the future of the Film Agency. A source in Kiev told ScreenDaily that the current situation is “a mess” with people bringing their own particular opinions and demands.
The Association of Producers of Ukraine (Apu) was even forced to remove and distance itself from comments made by its CEO Denis Maslikov on it’s website.
The present vacuum at the Film Agency is also likely to pose a problems for productions...

Complex and avant-garde French film director best known for Night and Fog and Last Year in Marienbad
Alain Resnais, who has died aged 91, was a director of elegance and distinction who, despite generally working from the screenplays of other writers, established an auteurist reputation. His films were singular, instantly recognisable by their style as well as through recurring themes and preoccupations. Primary concerns were war, sexual relationships and the more abstract notions of memory and time. His characters were invariably adult (children were excluded as having no detailed past) middle-class professionals. His style was complex, notably in the editing and often – though not always – dominated by tracking shots and multilayered sound.
He surrounded himself with actors, musicians and writers of enormous talent and the result was a somewhat elitist body of work with little concern for realism or the socially or intellectually deprived. Even overtly political works, Night and Fog,...

Peter Bradshaw on 60 years of sensational, cerebral film-making
Alain Resnais, the acclaimed French film director whose 60-year career included such classics as Hiroshima Mon Amour and Last Year in Marienbad, has died aged 91.
His death on Saturday, the day after the Césars French cinema awards and on the eve of the Oscars, came as he prepared to launch his latest film, The Life of Riley later this month.
The film, which stars two of his favourite actors – his wife, Sabine Azéma, and André Dussollier – was awarded the Silver Bear Alfred Bauer prize when it premiered at last month's Berlin film Ffestival. It is based on an Alan Ayckbourn; the playwright and his wife witnessed the film-maker's marriage to Azéma in Scarborough.

His latest film, The Life of Riley, premiered in Berlin.
Veteran French filmmaker Alain Resnais has died at the age of 91.
His death — in Paris on Saturday — comes just weeks after his latest film, The Life Of Riley (Aimer, boire et chanter), premiered at the Berlinale, where it won the Fipresci prize and the Alfred Bauer Prize (see Screen’s review here).
The director will be remembered as part of the French New Wave, while also changing with the times in subsequent decades — his prolific career includes nearly 50 features.
His 1959 Hiroshima Mon Amour was Oscar nominated for best screenplay. He won Venice’s Golden Lion in 1969 for Last Year at Marienbad, and Berlin’s Silver Bears for best director for Smoking/No Smoking and The Same Old Song.

When I awoke this morning to the unhappy news that Alain Resnais, the French director of "Last Year at Marienbad," "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" and "Night and Fog" among many, many others, had passed away at the age of 92, my first thought was how different the moment felt to most other announcements of veteran artists' departures -- more sorely immediate than the usual solemn, remove-your-hat mourning. Most nonagenarian directors who die do so with their life's work complete; Resnais's certainly wasn't lacking, but the man wasn't finished either. Only three weeks ago, Resnais premiered his 19th feature, "Life of Riley," in Competition at the Berlin Film Festival to warm applause and even a couple of trophies. The jury awarded him the Alfred Bauer Prize for "a film that opens new perspectives on cinematic art" -- an award that, at first blush, seems an odd fit for one as comfortingly seasoned and familiar as Resnais,...

With his recent features "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!" and "Wild Grass," French New Wave legend Alain Resnais showed a continuing flair for cinematic ingenuity. Unfortunately, with "Life of Riley," the filmmaker vanishes into the static nature of the stage play that provides the movie with its source material. Resnais' third treatment of a work by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn (following 1993's "Smoking/No Smoking" and 2006' "Private Fears In Public Places") is his least distinctive project in years. While the French-language, York-set comedy achieves some mild entertainment value from the play's appeal and its engaging cast, "Life of Reilly" is largely a superfluous footnote to the lofty career of its nonagenarian director. By remaining faithful to the material, "Life of Riley" displays a certain oddball charm in its mixture of neurotic characters and one notable absence -- namely, the figure of George Riley, who remains an abstraction and never.

Anurag Kashyap seems quite stubborn about his film Ugly as the filmmaker is not ready to make any compromises regarding the smoking scenes in the film. Recently, Kashyap refused to feature the disclaimer 'Cigarette smoking is injurious to health' during smoking shots in his film. Also, the film's co-producer and the head of Dar Motion Pictures, Vivek Rangachari has extended his support in this matter. Readers may be aware that last year, the Censor Board became quite stringent about 'Cigarette Smoking' warnings and asked filmmakers to issue this disclaimer in every shot where cigarette is visible. However, Anurag and his team are currently in talks with the Censor Board to sort out this issue. Interestingly, Anurag had made a film called No Smoking with John Abraham way back in 2007 on the subject of smoking. Ugly is slated to release on January 3.

Being one of the hottest pop singers in the world definitely has its perks, and Rihanna used her superstar status to score a tour of an iconic Paris apartment yesterday (June 4).

Rihanna shared a pic of her sprawled across an antique chair with the caption, “Replicating a #Coco moment.”
She also posted an image from Chanel’s closet, explaining, “Checking my designs where #Coco checked hers!!!”
However, Ri-Ri didn’t dig the “No Smoking Here” sign, as was evident from the cigarette in her mouth- “I’m just different! It’s a #Coco thing!!”...
