steve mookie kong<p>Tonight's movie was Legacy of Lies (2020).</p><p>Scott Adkins gets some room to show his range of acting, which the man totally has. The kid was not annoying and actually smart. Her bonding with captor was nice.</p><p>The production values punch way above its direct-to-video weight. </p><p>The twist at the end was unnecessary.</p><p>There wasn't enough action to justify the boring spy plot. There was a car vs fruit cart! </p><p>Rated 5 out of 10.</p><p>Streamed on Kanopy.</p><p><a href="https://wantstoruletheworld.com/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://wantstoruletheworld.com/tags/kanopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kanopy</span></a></p>

That Old Guy With the Beard<p>First off, this is a horror film. Demonic possession and gore are involved. If this is not your jam, skip the film. </p><p>If you enjoy that sort of cinematic presentation, check this out. It perfectly encapsulates the late-’70s hysteria about Satanism and Psychic Phenomenons that American TV had at the time.</p><p>And you will never watch an Antman film in the same way as before.

KSev 🇳🇴🌻🚲 :donor:<p>John Singer Sargent: Fashion and Swagger</p><p>–John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What made his 'swagger' portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience.</p><p>Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, Exhibition on Screen's film will examine how Sargent's unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion.</p><p>Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London, the exhibition reveals Sargent's power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects, drawing the audience into the artist's studio. Sargent's sitters were often wealthy, their clothes costly, but what happens when you turn yourself over to the hands of a great artist? The manufacture of public identity is as controversial and contested today as it was at the turn of the 20th century, but somehow Sargent's work transcends the social noise and captures an alluring truth with each brush stroke.</p><p>Step into the glittering world of fashion, scandal and shameless self-promotion that made John Singer Sargent the painter who defined an era</p><p>Explore the unique creative process of the late 19th century's favourite portrait artist and the way in which his portraits captured the spirit of a vibrant and rapidly changing age.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Kanopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kanopy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SupportYourLocalLibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupportYourLocalLibrary</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/JohnSingerSargent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnSingerSargent</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ExhibitionOnScreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExhibitionOnScreen</span></a></p>

That Old Guy With the Beard<p>This may be about the making of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1989 film “Santa Sangre,” but in actuality it’s about how he makes art. He may be a filmmaker, but that is merely the form his artistic output takes to share with the world his expression.</p><p>I’m firmly of the opinion that someone needs to make a bio picture of Jodorowsky’s life. His father worked in the circus, he studied with Marcel Marceau… he’s a fascinating person.</p><p>Highly recommended.</p><p>★★★★☆</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/review" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>review</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CineMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CineMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/VPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VPL</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Kanopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kanopy</span></a></p>
