    MN+ pays a Gold Class tribute to Amy Winehouse with the premiere of ‘Amy’

    MUMBAI: MN+, the Gold Class of Hollywood Movies, celebrates and remembers the life of the legendary singer, Amy Winehouse on her 35th birthday with the Indian Television premiere of the Academy award winning British documentary film ‘Amy’ on September 14 at 9 PM. The film is a part of the channel’s ongoing Season 3 of ‘Pathbreakers’, a specially curated property that showcases 50 critically acclaimed and genre-defining movies over 50 days.

    6 time Grammy award winner, Amy Winehouse was one of the biggest music icons in British history. A revered and talented pop star whose musical appeal crossed cultural and demographic boundaries and shot her to stardom, ironically, it was her chaotic personal life that stole headlines.  Her tragic death at the young age of 27 left the world devastated. ‘Amy’ delves into the life and death of the singer, putting the spotlight on her struggle with substance abuse, before and after her career blossomed, and which eventually caused her death.

    Directed by Asif Kapadia, ‘Amy’ decodes Winehouse’s journey from being a media darling to becoming the subject of vicious tabloid headlines. Her strong personality, complicated marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil and the love-hate relationship with the press are reflected in her deep, expressive soul music.

    A gold-class artist like Amy Winehouse truly deserves a gold-class tribute by MN+.

  • Books to read before they hit Indian theatres in 2014

    Books to read before they hit Indian theatres in 2014

    MUMBAI: Here’s the review of the fourth book in the 10-part series that features the books being adapted into Hollywood movies in the year 2014.

     

    Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back – Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent

     

    “I see it, so I believe it. Do you?”

     

    In May 2011 Sony Pictures had acquired the film rights of the book Heaven Is for Real, which follows the true story of the Burpo family and the son Colton, who during his life-threatening illness and sudden surgery, slips from consciousness and enters heaven, from which he narrowly survives. Several months later while passing by the same hospital that saved him, Colton begins talking about his experiences during the surgery and making a trip to heaven. The family doesn’t know what to believe, but soon the evidence becomes clear.

     

    Written in first-person narrative of Colton’s father, Todd Burpo, with New York Times best-selling author Lynn Vincent, Heaven Is for Real walks readers through the revelation of Colton’s trip, his parent’s initial uncertainties and the lessons learned by such a small child.

    Within three weeks of its November 2010 release, the book debuted at #3 on the New York Times bestseller list. By January 2011, there were 200,000 copies in print, and the book hit #1 on the New York Times list. Currently, the book stands at 3.98/5 out of 111,494 ratings on Goodreads.

     

    The live action feature film boasts an impressive cast lead with Little Miss Sunshine fame Greg Kinnear and Sherlock Holmes actress Kelly Reilly, along with Spiderman 3’s Thomas Haden Church and Emmy Award winning actress Margo Martindale (Justified, The Millers).

     

    Heaven Is For Real blesses Indian theatres on 20 June.

    Another remake soon follows suit on 11 April in the form of About Last Night, a reboot of the 1986 film of the same name, which was based on the 1974 David Mamet play, Sexual Perversity In Chicago.

     

    On 2 May, Peter Parker returns to fight against Electro, a formidable villain who has terrorised New York City in Spider Man 2.

     

    20 June would witness the release of two of the most highly anticipated movies of 2014, the first being Heaven Is For Real, about a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world, and the next being 22 Jump Street, the sequel to 2012 box office hit 21 Jump Street, about two police officers going undercover as adolescent students at a local school.

    Think Like A Man Too, another sequel, of the 2012 film will release on 29 August. Next up will be No Good Deeds, a movie about a former district attorney turned stay-at-home mom and her two small children who are terrorised and kidnapped after she invites a handsome but mysterious stranger into their home to wait for help after his car runs off the road releasing on 26 September.

     

    The Equalizer would release on 3 October, the storyline follows a retired intelligence officer Robert McCall who turns into a vigilante for the helpless. Ending the year on high note on 14 November would be The Interview, a movie about a late night talk show host and his producer best friend, approached by the CIA and asked to assassinate Kim, a mysterious and ruthless dictator of a nuclear-armed North Korea making them two of the least qualified men ever to assassinate – or interview – the most dangerous man on earth.

     

    Films slated for release in 2015 includes Annie, Kitchen Sink, Chappie, the new James Bond movie, and the latest installments in The Smurfs and Hotel Transylvania franchise.

  • Hollywood films set to return to Indonesia

    Hollywood films set to return to Indonesia

    MUMBAI: After a five-month drought caused by a standoff over the country‘s tax on imported films, Hollywood films are set to return to Indonesian screens, with the final Harry Potter.


    “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is being imported by a newly established local company and will be released before Ramadan, the Islamic fasting month that begins on 1 August,” said Djonny Sjafruddin, head of the Indonesian Cinema Companies Union.


    The debut of Harry Potter and the other movies is made possible by the recent establishment of a new film importer, PT Omega Film, Sjarifuddin revealed. He however declined to give an exact release date.


    “All things such as censorship and subtitles have already been finished,” Sjafruddin said. “We need some 90 copies and they are now under process.”


    He also announced that Transformers 3 and Kung Fu Panda 2 would be released in the next few weeks.


    The announcement signals relief for moviegoers forced for months to make do with local productions and second-tier foreign releases because of the protracted dispute between studios, film importers and the government.


    In February, six major Hollywood studios withdrew films from Indonesia, a Muslim-majority nation of 237 million people, in opposition to a new levy on imported movies that was meant to protect local filmmakers.


    Last month the government announced a revised tax it said would bring back Hollywood movies, but their return had been blocked by another dispute.
