The Horrible Reference To Star Wars That Had To Be Replaced In The Mauritanian

As it should be, the extended torture sequence of Tahar Rahim's Mohamedou Ould Slahi in
The Mauritanian is grueling to watch. It unfolds late in the film, and it’s only made more brutal by the fact that everything preceding it in the non-linear story aligns you with Mohamedou’s perspective, innocence, and humanity. It’s made a visceral and scary experience for the audience, with purposefully disorienting editing and images, and while much of it is based on what actually happened in real life, there is one unsettling detail that couldn’t be used in the movie: the guards performing the torturing wore masks of

Surreal endeavors like this should be referred to as “mood comedies”—I can easily understand someone checking out early, but man was I apparently in the right mood for it. Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig co-wrote and co-star as Barb and Star, two permed and culotte-wearing best friends from Soft Rock, Nebraska who work together, finish each other’s thoughts and even moved in together after they were respectively widowed and divorced. After they lose their jobs, they decide to take their first-ever vacation together to a Florida resort town—where, unfortunately, someone is planning to release genetically-modified mosquitoes to kill everyone. The wavelength it’s operating on feels similar to that of the

Review: Tahar Rahim is the breakout star of 'The Mauritanian'


Review: Tahar Rahim is the breakout star of 'The Mauritanian'
By Cary Darling, Staff Writer
“The Mauritanian,” the powerhouse film from director Kevin Macdonald (“The Last King of Scotland,” “Touching the Void”), is based on a news item of which many moviegoers may be unaware: the 2002 arrest and 14-year imprisonment at Guantánamo of Mauritanian citizen Mohamedou Ould Slahi — who was never actually charged with a crime.
Slahi ultimately wrote a bestselling memoir, “Guantánamo Diary,” but — even with those who read the book knowing how it all ends — “The Mauritanian” is often an engrossing and grueling experience that raises age-old but still pointed questions about what rights a society is willing to jettison in return for presumed safety and security. That it also features two strong performances at its core — French-Algerian actor Tahar Rahim (so good in the French movie “A Prophet” in 2009) as Slahi, Jodie Foster as his pro-bono ACLU attorney Nancy Hollander — is a bonus.

News of the World
Paul Greengrass’s latest film is based on the western novel by Paulette Jiles, about a girl returning to her family in 1860s Texas after being kidnapped by the Kiowa tribe. Helena Zengel plays the girl, Johanna, and Tom Hanks plays the man who must look after her: Captain Kidd, an ex-army veteran who makes a living reading aloud from newspapers to illiterate townsfolk, and who is now in the middle of a very big news story.
Released in the UK on 1 January
Cinderella
Pitch Perfect producer Kay Cannon now directs this new live-action reboot of Cinderella, with James Corden as co-writer. The Grammy-nominated singing star Camila Cabello takes the leading role of Cinders, yearning for her prince. Idina Menzel plays the evil stepmother, Britain’s Nicholas Galitzine is the handsome Prince Robert, and Broadway star Billy Porter is Fab G, the genderqueer Fairy Godparent. (There is no word yet on Buttons, but surely Christopher Biggins is available.)
