'Rocketry The Nambi Effect' box office collection Day 5: R Madhavan's film grows and performs well

<p>Hollywood actor Michael Shannon is ready to make his directorial debut with ‘Eric Larue’. ‘Eric Larue’ movie is based on the Brett Neveu play that debuted in 2002 at the Red Orchid Theatre in Chicago, where Shannon is a founding member. He will be directing by adapting Neveu’s script, as per Deadline. Reportedly, the film has been scheduled to be shot in Arkansas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But since the Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe v. Wade triggered that state’s Act 180 of 2019, which bans nearly all forms of abortion, such as cases of rape and incest, Hollywood filmmakers have withdrawn from shooting in Arkansas and now will be shooting in and around Wilmington, NC.</p>

<p>For Neveu, the origin of ‘Eric Larue’ as a play was in response to the mass shooting in 1999 at Columbine High School in Colorado. The play premiered at the Red Orchid in 2002. Almost 15 years after its debut, Shannon was directing the play ‘Traitor’, which is a new way of telling Neveu's' ‘An Enemy of the People’. When a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, those shootings led to Neveu adapting his original play into the feature film that Shannon will direct. The film follows Janice, the mother of 17-year-old Eric, who shot and killed three of his classmates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Janice faces a meeting with the mothers of the other boys and a long-delayed visit to her son in prison, the story becomes not about the violence but about what we choose to think and do in order to survive trauma.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Deadline, Shannon said, "Eric Larue has so much to say about our country, about the way we try (sometimes quite ineptly) to deal with the trauma of living here, which is so insidious because it does not present itself overtly in concrete terms most of the time."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Like most great stories, Eric Larue plays at the macro and micro level simultaneously. When I read the screenplay, I immediately knew I had to direct it. I saw it. I heard it. I could feel it. And I wanted to make sure that it received just the right touch in all its aspects, because at the end of the day, it is an extraordinarily delicate thing," Shannon continued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I find it interesting," he added, "to align with artists possessing the most vivid imaginations, the most stringent yet empathetic senses of morality, and the most passionate and rigorous disciplines to create worlds and stories that contribute to our experience and understanding of what it is to be a human being in this day and age and, particularly, this country," he added.</p>

<p>Ahead of the release of 'Thor: Love and Thunder', reviews of the movie have started trickling in. The Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman-starrer is the 29th movie in Marvel Cinematic Universe and fourth movie in the Thor franchise.</p>

<p>Directed by Taika Waititi, who returns from the third movie, 'Ragnarok', the film has Thor and Portman's Jane Foster, who becomes Mighty Thor and wields Mjolnir, pitted against Christian Bale's fearsome villain Gorr the God Butcher.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-before-thor-love-and-thunder-revisiting-god-of-thunders-journey-in-mcu-494636"><strong>Before 'Thor Love and Thunder,' revisiting God of Thunder's journey in MCU</strong></a></p>

<p>Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Waititi, and Russell Crowe also star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film has scored a decent (but not scintillating) score of 70 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, "In some ways, 'Thor: Love and Thunder' feels like Ragnarok redux -- but overall, it offers enough fast-paced fun to make this a worthy addition to the MCU."</p>

<p><strong>Here are a few reviews from major international publications:</strong></p>

<p>AV Club's Todd Gilchrist wrote, "Portman and (especially) Bale contribute more than enough capital-A acting bona fides to lend deeper emotional dimensions to Waititi’s loose, occasionally too-cheerful but always visually adventuresome adaptation of Jason Aaron’s stint on the Mighty Thor."</p>

<p><strong>Too jokey?</strong></p>

<p>Flicks.co.nz's Tony Stamp wrote, "Almost feels desperate in its attempts to entertain - fights, special effects, and jokes, jokes, jokes. But if everything’s a joke, then does any of it really matter?"</p>

<p>South China Morning Post's&nbsp;James Mottram wrote, "Less po-faced than past Avengers outings, Love and Thunder may not quite be the “classic Thor adventure” as Korg puts it, but it’s got an emotional core about finding the one you love."</p>

<p><strong>Fast-paced</strong></p>

<p>The Beast's Nick Schager wrote, "Everything is pitched at such a frantically insistent pace that the intended laughs die on the vine."</p>

<p>San Jose Mercury News' Randy Myers wrote, "Thor: Love and Thunder” is one of the most enjoyable MCU romps in a while; one that actually that mirrors the spirit of reading a gone-rogue comic book."</p>

<p>Movie Madness Podcast' Eric Childress wrote, "Did not think it was possible to make a worse Thor film than The Dark World, but Taika Waititi appears to have pulled it off. Love and Thunder now ranks as the low point in the MCU."</p>

<p><strong>A case of diminishing returns?</strong></p>

<p>Toronto Star's Peter Howell wrote, "[Waititi] ups the absurdity and the antics from his first go at the Norse myth narrative, with many recycled gags and diminishing returns."</p>

<p>Flickerin Myth's&nbsp;Robert Kojder wrote, "The final 45 minutes do plenty of heavy lifting and carry thunderous stakes and consequences, but it’s nowhere near enough to love this."</p>

<p>Starburst's&nbsp;Hayden Mears&nbsp;wrote, "Gone is the God of Smashing Coffee Mugs at Diners. Banished is the exhausting machismo of the self-proclaimed Strongest Avenger. Here, we see a God of Thunder who's lost, insecure, and vulnerable."</p>

Ahead of the release of 'Thor: Love and Thunder', reviews of the movie have started trickling in. The Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman-starrer is the 29th movie in Marvel Cinematic Universe and fourth movie in the Thor franchise. Directed by Taika Waititi, who returns from the third movie, 'Ragnarok', the film has Thor and Portman's Jane Foster, who becomes Mighty Thor and wields Mjolnir, pitted against Christian Bale's fearsome villain Gorr the God Butcher. Also Read: Before 'Thor Love and Thunder,' revisiting God of Thunder's journey in MCU Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Waititi, and Russell Crowe also star. The film has scored a decent (but not scintillating) score of 70 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, "In some ways, 'Thor: Love and Thunder' feels like Ragnarok redux -- but overall, it offers enough fast-paced fun to make this a worthy addition to the MCU." Here are a few reviews from major international publications: AV Club's Todd Gilchrist wrote, "Portman and (especially) Bale contribute more than enough capital-A acting bona fides to lend deeper emotional dimensions to Waititi’s loose, occasionally too-cheerful but always visually adventuresome adaptation of Jason Aaron’s stint on the Mighty Thor." Also Read: Gorr The God Butcher explained: Who is Christian Bale's Big Bad in 'Thor: Love and Thunder'? Too jokey? Flicks.co.nz's Tony Stamp wrote, "Almost feels desperate in its attempts to entertain - fights, special effects, and jokes, jokes, jokes. But if everything’s a joke, then does any of it really matter?" South China Morning Post's James Mottram wrote, "Less po-faced than past Avengers outings, Love and Thunder may not quite be the “classic Thor adventure” as Korg puts it, but it’s got an emotional core about finding the one you love." Fast-paced The Beast's Nick Schager wrote, "Everything is pitched at such a frantically insistent pace that the intended laughs die on the vine." San Jose Mercury News' Randy Myers wrote, "Thor: Love and Thunder” is one of the most enjoyable MCU romps in a while; one that actually that mirrors the spirit of reading a gone-rogue comic book." Movie Madness Podcast' Eric Childress wrote, "Did not think it was possible to make a worse Thor film than The Dark World, but Taika Waititi appears to have pulled it off. Love and Thunder now ranks as the low point in the MCU." A case of diminishing returns? Toronto Star's Peter Howell wrote, "[Waititi] ups the absurdity and the antics from his first go at the Norse myth narrative, with many recycled gags and diminishing returns." Flickerin Myth's Robert Kojder wrote, "The final 45 minutes do plenty of heavy lifting and carry thunderous stakes and consequences, but it’s nowhere near enough to love this." Starburst's Hayden Mears wrote, "Gone is the God of Smashing Coffee Mugs at Diners. Banished is the exhausting machismo of the self-proclaimed Strongest Avenger. Here, we see a God of Thunder who's lost, insecure, and vulnerable." 'Thor: Love and Thunder' releases on July 7.

French actor Judith Chemla shared photos depicting domestic abuse on her Instagram profile on Sunday. The injuries shown in the disturbing pictures, she said, are of a year ago from the hands of her daughter's father. Chelma wrote, "A year ago my face was injured, blue, purple under my eye, I saw myself deformed. A year ago I looked at my face in the mirror and I knew that I could no longer hide my face.” The pictures, taken at different points in time, show red and purple bruises on her face. As per FranceInfo (quoted by Deadline, filmmaker Yohan Manca, with whom Judith was in a relationship, was given an eight-month sentence for domestic abuse.

<p>'Thor: Love and Thunder' is almost here (it releases on Thursday, July 7). The Taika Waititi directorial brings back Chris Hemsworth in the titular role and he is joined by Natalie Portman's Jane Foster, who we have not seen since 2013's 'Thor: Dark World'. Foster will also assume the mantle of Thor (or Mighty Thor) and will wield Mjolnir.</p>

<p>Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Waititi, and Russell Crowe also star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the biggest reasons, however, the fans are excited about 'Love and Thunder' is the presence is Christian Bale. It marks the MCU debut of the English actor. While Bale is no stranger to comic-book movies, having starred as Batman in Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight Trilogy', this is the first time he is donning the role of a Big Bad in a superhero movie.</p>

<p>Bale, known for disappearing into his roles and going to extreme lengths sometimes to achieve that required physical appearance, plays the role of Gorr The God Butcher in 'Love and Thunder'. The character is one of Thor's main supervillains, and actually has understandable reasons to hate gods (including Thor) in Marvel Comics lore. But the movie's iteration is expected to be a little different, and not just in terms of his looks (there are dissimilarities there too).</p>

<p><strong>Here is everything you need to know about Gorr The God Butcher:</strong></p>

<p>Gorr belonged to an unnamed, desolate planet that was no stranger to natural disasters. The inhabitants of that planet believed in gods, but the gods did not respond to their pleas for help. Gorr's family died, and his belief in the very existence was weakened. But when he became aware of the existence of gods, he vowed to end each and every one of them (well, the name pretty much says that).</p>

<p><strong>Gorr's first battle with Thor</strong></p>

<p>Wielding the powerful and terrible All-Black the Necrosword, he went on a rampage across the universe. He eventually crossed the path of God of Thunder in mediaeval era and was so powerful at that point that he nearly killed him as well. Thor was saved by a group of Vikings. Gorr escaped with his arm cut off, but alive. He created an army of shadow berserkers to assist him in a future encounter.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Gorr vs Thor part 2</strong></p>

<p>In the current timeline, he notices the disappearance of the gods and eventually crosses the paths of Thor again. Gorr was defeated but he travelled forward into the future and resumed killing off gods. The present Thor followed and found his aged counterpart holding the fort against Gorr and the shadow berserkers. Gorr's motive was to force Thor, the present one that is, to watch as he sets off the Godbomb, which will kill all gods across time and space. Gorr kills his resurrected wife for calling him a god and Gorr's son, who is an entity made out of the Necrosword, releases Thor.</p>

<p>Thor deactivates the Godbomb, and finally kills Gorr once and for all.</p>

<p>When James Cameron releases a film, the world listens. He, probably more than any other filmmaker working today, has that power to create in moviegoers that frenzy that makes them throng theatres whenever he releases a film. His 2009's science-fiction film 'Avatar' is getting not just one, but four sequels.</p>

<p>Not many filmmakers would have greenlit such expensive sequels all at once. But then, it is common knowledge that Cameron delivers big time.</p>

<p>The second movie in the franchise is titled 'Avatar: The Way of Water' and continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. While Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, and Giovanni Ribisi return from the first film, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Vin Diesel are the new joinees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sigourney Weaver, however, dons a different role in the movie as her original character Dr. Grace Augustine died towards the end of the first film. In 'The Way of Water' she is Kiri, the teenage adoptive daughter of Jake (Worthington) and Neytiri (Saldana). Let that sink in. Weaver, 72, is playing the role of a teenager.</p>

<p>While speaking to Empire magazine, Weaver spoke about her character. She said, "I think we all pretty much remember what we were feeling as adolescents. I certainly do. I was 5’ 10” or 5’ 11” when I was 11. I felt strongly that Kiri would feel awkward a lot of the time. She’s searching for who she is. I was thrilled to be given that challenge by Jim.”</p>

<p>The first 'Avatar' film was a huge step in the field of computer-generated imagery-assisted filmmaking. It was widely praised for its visuals and 3D quality, though received some criticism for its thin, simplistic plot. The story reverses the alien invasion trope. In the film, we, humans, were the invaders and visited Pandora, a habitable extrasolar moon, to mine Unobtainium, a highly valuable compound. The film dealt with themes like imperialism, militarism, and racism.</p>

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' releases on December 16, 2022.</p>
