Mubi is hosting the exclusive global premiere of Gary Walkow's Radio Mary (2017), which will be showing November 28 - December 28, 2017.Gary Walkow’s filmmaking career has a peculiar shape. For a while he looked like a low-key American indie success story waiting for his breakthrough. His first feature The Trouble With Dick shared the Grand Prize at the 1987 Us Film Festival, which was renamed to Sundance a few years later. Notes From Underground (1995), a modern-day Dostoyevsky adaptation, premiered at Toronto and got good reviews and a modest bit of distribution; but Beat (2000), with Kiefer Sutherland and Courtney Love as Bill and Joan Burroughs, had a rocky reception at Sundance and seemed to mark the end of Indiewood’s flirtation with Walkow. After a hiatus that included an unfinished film, Walkow’s career began a second, more clandestine phase with Crashing (2007), a very low-budget comedy that eventually received DVD distribution, boosted...

The original Queen of Rock is back with a new single—and this time she’s brought her legendary band.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ronnie Spector, the voice behind the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby”—recently ranked the Number One Girl Group Song of All Time by Billboard—has confirmed her new tune “Love Power” will hit the streets on Aug. 18. But for those who don’t want to wait, People presents an exclusive first listen of the funked up track.

In conversation, it’s impossible not to fall head-over-heels for Ronnie Spector. Even over a tiny cell phone speaker, her strong voice bursts forth with electric excitement, full-bodied passion, and the occasional flirtatious giggle. It’s the voice—a mix of street tough New Yorker and tender schoolgirl vulnerability—that provided the heart, soul and swagger of the iconic ’60s group the Ronettes. Alongside her sister Estelle Bennett and cousin Nedra Talley, the trio scored hits with pop masterpieces like “Be My Baby,” “Walking in the Rain,” and “I Can Hear Music.” Spector’s incendiary live performances established her as...

You ruined everything, you stupid...
Nope. I don’t think Rebecca, nor the winds, ruined anything.
When the “winds of Diablo” blew their way through West Covina on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2 Episode 11, everyone re-evaluated their choices.
And I think everyone ended up right where they belong.
Things got a little weird during an hour that shifted the direction of the series, so let’s start talking about it!
You might say, 'Don't do it, Winds! Leave these poor people alone!' But I'm a prankster. Tee-hee-hee-heeeee. I just wanna see what will happen.

When was the last time you thought about The Iron Horse? Or The Time Tunnel? How about The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.? All are television shows that premiered the second week of September in 1966, and all have effectively faded from memory. Not so with The Monkees, the groundbreaking TV-music-performance project that ran amok across the late '60s pop cultural landscape like Frankenstein's multimedia monster. 50 years later, it's still very much alive.
Earlier this year, the three surviving Monkees reunited in the studio with producer Adam Schlesinger – a veteran of the uber-poppy Fountains of Wayne and the tunesmith behind the brilliant...

The Chanels are back, and things are about to get twisted.
Scream Queens Season 2 Episode 1 was a fun start to the new season. It managed to successfully reintroduce all of our favorite characters after a two year time jump, while still laying the groundwork for what seems like a fun new setting and killer mystery.
I'll be totally honest – I didn't like "Scream Again" quite as much as I liked the Scream Queens Series Premiere. The series premiere had this totally oddball, bizarro quirkiness that was totally unique and hilarious.
That said, the first season simply wasn't able to maintain that harebrained, zany tone – the rest of the season never lived up to those first two hours.
"Scream Again" significantly pared down the number of characters – and the scope of the story – so I suspect that this will be a slightly more restrained season. This is both good – because the...

Consider this our official petition for a mother-daughter duet between Lily-Rose Depp and Vanessa Paradis. The budding star has certainly inherited her mother's musical talent, which she shows off for the first time in her new movie Yoga Hosers. Performing Styx's tune "Babe" in a new sneak peek from the upcoming horror-comedy, Depp, 17, is the spitting image of Paradis, who also first appeared on the French music scene as a teenager. Paradis' first big single, "Joe Le Taxi" - an international hit in 1987 - was recorded when the now-42-year-old was only 14. In addition to her sweet, soft voice, Paradis...

So, as strange as it may sound, Feed the Beast Season 1 Episode 9 feels a little bit like an episode of Maury Povich. It's all about fathers – the good, the bad, and the murdering.
"Be My Baby" begins with a flashback to the day Tj was born. Unfortunately, the hazy, golden happiness that Tommy has always associated with the day he became a father is starting to fade.
Watch Feed the Beast Season 1 Episode 9 Online
After doing the math regarding when Dion and Rie started sleeping together, Tommy is beginning to suspect that he isn't actually Tj's father – so much so that he orders a home paternity test!
Needless to say, I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I pictured Maury sitting across from dour David Schwimmer, preparing to ominously reveal whether or not Tommy is, in fact, Tj's father.
Then again, Feed the Beast's entire first season has...

Out 1The late, great Jacques Rivette’s long-unseen serial Out 1 (1971) begins in a state of febrile convulsion, a seizure or shared hallucination, a frenzied, excruciating, hypnotic baptism of fire that reveals Rivette’s many-headed monster entering into being. Indistinguishable in a mass and huddle of contradicting limbs, this theatre troupe of performers – enchanted, ever-improvising movers and shakers – then pack their bags, tidy up, and leave one Parisian rehearsal space for another. Never too far away from each other in this 20-arrondissement Venn-diagram, and never inseparable, the circumstances of individual characters are slowly knitted together, first those of a character played by Juliet Berto, then one by Jean-Pierre Léaud. Individual narratives become interdependent, and Out 1 becomes a multi-plot film. Just as two theatre troupes use various imaginative, improvisational means to adapt two of Aeschylus’s Greek tragedies, Berto and Léaud’s two outliers approach and endlessly orbit some central conspiracy or secret underground society.

From the zither in “The Third Man,” to Busby Berkeley routines set to “Be My Baby” in “Mean Streets,” to the dance contest in “Pulp Fiction,” to Wes Anderson’s use of the Rolling Stones and The Kinks (among many others) in his oeuvre, some of cinema’s finest moments are intrinsically tied into music. 2015 might not have been a vintage year for music moments in film necessarily, but there has been nevertheless more than enough that we could fill up our annual list with some choice selections.

After a bumper two-hour long X Factor Boot Camp extravaganza, we're left with one massive question: Why did no one know any of the lyrics?
Some of the biggest and most famous songs are reserved for this stage of the competition, but it seemed that some of this year's contestants just hadn't done their homework this week.
There was already tension in the beginning due to the lack of Taylor Swift knowledge anyway, but in a group consisting of Monica Michael, Papasidero, Batz In Da Belfry, Sophie Plumb and Princess Diamond, the lyrics to Swift's 'Blank Space' seemed to be, well, a bit of a blank space in some of their heads.
Suffice to say, one member of the group told the judges that they hadn't been getting on well behind the scenes. Yikes.

Japanese live action movies tend to be a hit or miss. Depending on the directorial take, emotional balance of the script, and the actors cast, it can be worthy of endless praises and awards such as the recently concluded “Rurouni Kenshin” trilogy. Otherwise, it can end up as a movie better forgotten such as the infamous Hollywood adaptation of a widely popular series, “Dragonball Evolution.”
While news of live action films may make some of us cringe in their anticipated cheesiness and possible inferior quality, the chances of seeing our beloved manga and anime characters come to life are often slim. That’s why today, we present you with three upcoming live action films that we believe are potential hits!
