John le Carré’s 1963 novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was the third in the author’s long and venerable career of Cold War-era spy fiction which defined and subsequently redefined the genre through the early sixties and right up to the author’s passing last December at the age of 89. Tomas Alfredson’s 2011 feature-length adaptation is a masterful distillation of le Carré’s characteristic penchant for high-stakes bureaucratic sleuthing and tense cat-and-mouse intrigue. If the cast, vintage-style poster and title signal anything, this comedy, originally set for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, is pure Wes Anderson, stylish and droll, in the mode of his Grand Budapest Hotel. The setting is a fictional city in France, among American journalists.

Crazy Stupid Love
Full of passion, romance, juicy storylines, and enticing characters, it’s no surprise that Bridgerton, which was Netflix’s most-watched series when the show first premiered in December 2020, has already been renewed for third and fourth seasons. Sad as it may be, there are and always will be gripping war stories to tell. Troops are perhaps no longer fully deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan, and the First and Second World Wars are far behind us, but that does not mean nothing is going on, for example in places like the Middle-East that we should know about. We can learn much from the news and fine war journalism, but we see so many of those images that they become devoid of meaning. Filmmakers in the field of the warfare genre should tell the tales of people living in warzones like Syria. Make them intensely personal so that we, who live in peace, may in some way grasp what it means to live there.

Hulu
I honestly just have to shout out to Showtime who never really seem to get it right. Yeah they will surpass HBO but with this and the new Dexter revival it seems they struck gold. They have been on the come up for a while but this show solidified how much great content they have. If I can compare this to a video game franchise I would compare the first Quiet Place to RE7 and A Quiet Place part 2 to Resident Evil Village. Both first installments established great concepts in horror/suspense and it took its time to develop enough story for you to care.
This is a riveting, challenging work, one that weds some of Ferrara’s pet themes with the surreal, paranoid quality of the present moment. Bewildering and breathtaking, it’s unlike anything else you’ll see this year. The idea of Mads Mikkelsen, the menacing and captivating star of NBC’s Hannibal and last year’s Oscar-winner Another Round, getting his own Taken-like revenge vehicle is appealing enough. But Riders of Justice, a philosophically knotty and refreshingly contemplative Danish action thriller, is more than your average Neeson-esque revenge movie knock-off.
Looking to see some of your favorite award-winning actresses together in a soon-to-be named classic dramedy for the LGBT+ kids?

Best Movies New To Streaming To Watch In December 2021
The story about an outlaw and his team hunting down a brutal enemy is captivating from start to finish and one of the few movies viewers would regret not watching right away. Netflix has been churning out its fair share of animated original movies, but The Mitchells vs. the Machines goes above and beyond the typical cookie-cutter quality that often hinders the genre. Created by Mike Rianda, the sci-fi comedy puts a family on a surprise journey that touchingly helps prove that love can still be found within dysfunctional relationships. The feel-good story is centered by Katie Mitchell, who experiences the coming-of-age realization during an adventure involving robots and deadly technology.

Rebecca Hall (Godzilla vs. Kong) makes her directorial debut with this adaptation of Harlem Renaissance writer Nella Larsen’s 1929 novel about two childhood friends, Reeny and Clare , who lose touch but happen upon each other again as adults.
Eastwood may be physically past his prime, but he’s still got plenty of grit and grace. Zhang Yimou brings glamorous style to familiar spy-movie clichés in Cliff Walkers, a knotty 1930s-set espionage saga in which four Chinese communist agents sneak into Japan-occupied Manchuria to smuggle out the sole survivor of a torture camp. This quartet splits up into couples to achieve their covert aim, only to be immediately and constantly beset by encounters with comrades who may be double (or triple?) agents.

It’s not an action film, but rather a contemplative exploration of how far a man will go to save his son and at what cost to others. You’ll understand why he does what he does, but you might not like him for it. Parasite had a massive sweep at the 2020 Academy Awards, taking home Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature. Bong Joon-ho’s impeccable directorial style blends traditional thriller twists and turns with scathing social commentary that will knock you off your feet.
As the performance day approaches, tension mounts around the play as Hidetoshi is forced to confront painful truths from his past, due in large part to the play’s star’s unwelcome connection to Hidetoshi’s late wife. A DTV 1917 for the war on terror, this stunt-ey siege thriller, which plays out in “one-take” for its entire runtime, admirably takes formally audacious visual swings on what appears to be a tight, no-frills budget. One Shot is exactly the type of adventurous experiment that the crowded world of OnDemand action could use more of. Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant. From time to time, she dives into the world’s most popular franchises but Kara primarily focuses on evergreen topics.
Through a mesmerizing session with a sound engineer , she attempts to recreate this blast. Answers, alas, are elusive in this meditative drama, which finds Jessica traversing first an urban, and then a rural, dreamscape of missing people, menacing dogs and recluses with great memories and no interest in the movies. Weerasethakul’s latest is content to reside in a rhythmic, hallucinatory in-between realm–ethereal and fungal, transcendent and terrifying–where everything is connected to both that which came before and has yet to take place.
Jesus is a source of both pleasure and pain in Benedetta, Paul Verhoeven’s playful based-on-real-events provocation about 17th-century nun Benedetta Carlini , who’s bequeathed by her father to God and, then, to a Tuscan convent administered by a stern Abbess . Experiencing visions of becoming Christ’s bride and exhibiting signs of the stigmata, Benedetta is revered by her fellow nuns and assumes the position of the Abbess, creating convent conflict that’s complicated by her budding lesbian romance with incest sufferer Bartolomea . Fiery tensions are everywhere in this hypnotic film–be it between love and sex, passion and reason, sanity and madness, or modern art and reggaeton street culture–as Ema reacts to her situation by concocting a scheme to get her child back through carnally devious means. Larraín stages his material like a sweaty, pulsating fever dream-cum-dance-routine, all of it revolving around his alternately entrancing and horrifying protagonist, whose quest for motherhood takes on increasingly demented form.
