The Oakland closer, much-ballyhooed... Читать дальше...

Evel Knievel “pretty much made his reputation by crashing,” Travis Pastrana told TheWrap, which is exactly what the “Nitro Circus” founder would like to avoid doing on Sunday when he recreates three of the ’70s daredevil’s most iconic jumps live for the History channel. On “Evel Live,” Pastrana will be riding an Indian Scout FTR750 V Twin, the same bike as Knievel. Cool hog, but a terrible choice for this sort of thing. “They’re just not meant for jumping really,” Pastrana said of the heavy motorcycle with a wide motor. Читать дальше...

“Sorry to Bother You” is as fresh as today’s newspaper — or a blog post — or a tweet from a minute ago. It’s a response to what is going on right now, and it feels like it, not only in content, but in form. It is charged by the madness of this particular moment in history. Writer-director Boots Riley isn’t cowed by the madness, but energized by it, and the result is this weird, funny, unsettling film. The old rules don’t apply anymore, so Riley throws them out and comes up with new ways of presentation. Читать дальше...
