Angelina Jolie’s portrayal of opera soprano Maria Callas in the film “Maria” and a comedy special by Jamie Foxx that will be available on Netflix are just two examples of the new television shows, movies, music, and video games that are on their way to a device near you.
Also included among the streaming services that are worthy of your attention are the following: Snoop Dogg collaborates with Dr. Dre on an album, Elton John reflects on his half-century in the public eye in the documentary titled “Elton John: Never Too Late,” and Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie get back together for the record titled “Paris & Nicole: The Encore.”
From December 9th to 15th, you can stream new movies
In the event that you were unable to attend the screening of “Joker: Folie à Deux” (and judging by the disappointing box office performance, the majority of people did not), the film is now available to stream on MAX. Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the mentally ill Arthur Fleck, who is imprisoned and awaiting trial for his crimes, in the musical sequel to the Oscar-winning film “Joker” directed by Todd Phillips. Lady Gaga also appears in the film as an obsessed admirer and love interest. In his review, Jake Coyle described the movie as one that is theoretically intriguing but oddly not very exciting. Perhaps more people will now take a chance on this extremely unique sequel, despite the fact that it was met with widespread disapproval from both critics and fans.
In Pablo Larraín’s film “Maria,” which is currently available to view on Netflix, Angelina Jolie plays the role of opera singer Maria Callas. The events of the film take place during the final week of her life, and it is a flashback of her troubled upbringing, her successful career, and her turbulent relationships.In my review, I stated that “This is a biopic as opera — an emotional journey fitting of the great diva, full of flair, beauty, betrayal, revelations, and sorrow.” I believe that this is an accurate description of the film. They have stated that Jolie’s voice is included into the soundtrack by virtue of the fact that she even trained to sing for the role. If you really like “Spencer” and “Jackie,” then “Maria” is an obvious choice for you. Due of this, Jolie may potentially receive another nomination for an Academy Award.
This past Monday, the adaptation of “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover, which was headed by Blake Lively, was made available on Netflix. Justin Baldoni, who also directs the film, and Brandon Sklenar act with Lively in the love drama, which made a modest phenomenon at the box office. Lively plays the role of Lily Bloom in the film.A review written by Mark Kennedy for the Associated Press described the film as “uneven” and stated that it “tries to balance the realities of domestic violence inside of a romantic comedy and a movie about female empowerment.” On the contrary, he went on to say that “it veers too close to melodrama.”
In “Sugarcane,” a documentary directed by Julian Brave Noise Cat and Emily Kassie, a community tries to come to terms with the fact that unmarked graves have been discovered on the grounds of a Catholic Church-run Indian residential school in Canada. The video is both emotionally and revelation-provoking. During the course of the inquiry, the horrifying acts that were committed against Indigenous students at these segregated boarding schools were brought to light. It is available to view on Hulu as well as Disney+.
Fresh Tunes Dropping Dec. 9–15
What else could Snoop Dogg possibly do for his twenty-first album but collaborate with Dr. Dre on a record that he would produce entirely?It is described as the sequel to Snoop’s debut album, “Doggystyle,” which was released in 1993. “Missionary” is the only other full-length collaboration between the two giants of hip-hop. It is a meeting of minds that features guest verses from Eminem, 50 Cent, Sting, Method Man, Jelly Roll, Tom Petty, BJ the Chicago Kid, Jhené Aiko, and other artists. In the event that the singles “Outta Da Blue,” “Gorgeous,” and “Another Part of Me” that have been published in the past serve as a representation of what is to come, then the holidays will have arrived earlier than expected this year.
