A Jerusalem woman’s business career is ruined by her boss’ aggressive sexual behavior in this powerful Israeli drama.
The person who believes there’s never any excuse for putting up with the boss’s sexual harassment has probably never experienced any, let alone risked losing a position or needed salary if they complain.
Most women — and people in general — don’t have any choice but to put up with “a certain amount” of crap to get ahead at all and often is a real career advancement choice.
That’s the fix the heroine of Working Woman finds herself in: She’s wedged between the need for a job that greatly improves her young family’s prospects and the increasingly discomfiting behavior of her superior.
This second narrative feature by Israeli documentarian Michal Aviad is a strong drama that eschews melodramatic contrivance, making its points via cool (yet sometimes squirm-inducing) observation.

Exclusive: We’ll never know if Ashley Judd ended up becoming CIA director because Epix has canceled Berlin Station.
Just more than a month after the Season 3 finale, the MGM-owned premium cabler has pulled the plug on a fourth season of the Paramount TV spy drama, I’ve learned. Epix confirms the critically acclaimed show isn’t coming back but had no further comment. No word whether Par TV is considering shopping the series for a new home on cable or streaming.
In today’s increasingly tightening margins industry it isn’t hard to tell what likely led to the end of the series starring Judd, Richard Armitage, Rhys Ifans, Keke Palmer, Leland Orser, Michelle Forbes, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Mina Tander and Richard Jenkins. With top-tier talent and its European locations dominating the Olen Steinhauer-created show, Berlin Station was not cheap to make. Add to that the reality...

Israeli director Michal Aviad was inspired to make “Working Woman” after watching a range of films about sexual harassment in the workplace. Much to her surprise — and dismay — she discovered that most of them dismissed, demeaned, or even demonized the victims.
Aviad’s thoughtful response is a film that feels very contemporary, but will also resonate with generations of viewers who recognize the many small moments that lead up to and follow its quietly wrenching central experience.
The film opens as a smiling Orna (Liron Ben Shlush) leaves her first job interview in years. She’s the harried mother of three children, and her husband, Ofer (Oshri Cohen), has recently opened a small and still-struggling restaurant in Tel Aviv. Ofer is skeptical of the time his newly-employed wife will be spending away from home, but she’s approaching her return to the workplace with a mixture of practicality and excitement.

First there was a 90 Day Fiancé star on American Idol, now? A former Nickelodeon actor is giving his all on Idol. Nick Merico, 22, appeared in four seasons of Nickelodeon's Every Witch Way as Daniel Miller. The series, which is about a teenage girl who moves to a new town and learns she's a witch, ran from 2014-2018.

Earlier this year, critics group made headlines when they came together to protest Disney’s decision to ban the Los Angeles Times’ access to the studio’s films. The ban was eventually lifted, but it raised a number of questions about how critics and studios maintain an ongoing relationship.

A closed-door, month-long row between Walt Disney Studios and The Los Angeles Times became public when the newspaper told readers why there was no “Thor: Ragnarock” review Nov. 3. “’Thor: Ragnarok,’ which opens wide today, will not be reviewed in today’s paper,” read a note from the editors in the Calendar section. “Walt Disney Co. studios declined to screen the movie for The Times’ critics, citing what it called unfair coverage of its business ties with the city of Anaheim. The Times will continue to review and cover Disney movies and programs when they are available to the public.”
Disney’s entities also include networks ABC, A+E and Espn. La Times reporter Glenn Whipp told IndieWire, “Our TV writers have had their access stripped from the Disney TV sites for a while now,” saying it stemmed back to early October.

Thanks to a Disney shareholder's meeting last night in Denver, we have learned some new information about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, including the first words ever spoken by Luke in the new trilogy. Disney screened footage of the film, and Los Angeles Times reporter Daniel Miller was there and relayed some information abut what he saw, most importantly being "Luke's first words."
At the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rey (Daisy Ridley) traverses a treacherous path up a rigid mountainside to finally come face-to-face with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in his secluded residence, she reaches out to hand him his lightsaber, and we are ended with a cliffhanger just as bad as The Walking Dead left us with at the end of Season 6. So what did Luke say? Luke offers Rey a dubious question, one brought about likely from years of contemplation and asks, "Who are you?...

We still aren't 100% sure when the public will see the first teaser for Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi (next month's Star Wars Celebration seems like a good bet), but in the meantime, it's good to be a Disney shareholder. They were shown some secret footage from the movie during a shareholders meeting with Disney CEO Bob Iger yesterday, and L.A. Times reporter Daniel Miller was on hand to relay descriptions of the footage to those of us who weren't in the room. (Warning: potential spoilers about Rey's family lineage ahead, so tread carefully if you want to go into the movie completely unspoiled.)

“Who are you?” According to reports from a meeting of Disney shareholders, these are the first words spoken onscreen by Luke Skywalker in more than three decades. (In a canonical Star Wars film, that its. Skywalker has presumably not been under a gag order in the many Star Wars parodies and fan films produced in the time since Return Of The Jedi.) As reported by the Los Angeles Times’ Daniel Miller, Luke’s query to Rey (Daisy Ridley) was one of several snippets of Star Wars Episode VIII—The Last Jedi screened for shareholders today, footage that also included glimpses of Chewbacca, General Leia Organa, Finn, an X-Wing that’s seen better days, and the environmentally diverse landscapes of a galaxy far, far away.

In fact, he has an inside man who has been telling him if he can just pull off this latest operation, the job is his.
But if you've been watching, and I'm not gonna lie, we've been late to the game, you know his people are all over the place. Frost hasn't been doing his best.

The search for “Thomas Shaw” continues on Berlin Station.

Et exclusively premieres a first look from Sunday’s episode, in which Daniel is grilled by the CIA’s Berlin station chief Steven Frost (Richard Jenkins) over his growing obsession over the faceless mole.
“In this scene, Frost warns Daniel not to let his personal agenda cloud his judgment. That's a portentous statement, because it could, and perhaps it is, and Daniel doesn't know it. It’s only his actions that will determine that,” Armitage told Et exclusively via email.

At this point, it’s a given that the stories being told on television have begun to equal or surpass the choices one can get at the movie theater, and this weekend, the Epix Network are finally getting into the game with their first two Epix Original Series, including Berlin Station, an espionage thriller with an all-star cast.
It stars Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) as Daniel Miller, a CIA agent called to work undercover out of the Berlin office, tasked to find a leak from a whistleblower known as “Thomas Shaw” along with his long-time friend and colleague, Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans). They work under the CIA’s Berlin Chief of Station Steven Frost (Richard Jenkins) and his administrator Valerie Edwards, played by Michelle Forbes (The Killing, True Blood).
Lrm sat down with Armitage and Forbes while they were in New York City promoting the show.
Lrm: Your American accent on the show is great!

Spy dramas are a delicate balance of tactical thinking and explosive action, with the latter typically going down far less often than the former. Even more action-heavy espionage tales — your “Homelands,” your James Bonds — light a fuse with their lengthy scenes of stalking, talking and traditional spy-craft. Many also incorporate varying degrees of sensuality — your “Americans,” your “Night Managers” — as the mentally strenuous life of a spy can lead to physically exhausting nighttime excursions. The best of the genre usually links the two together: The thrill of the chase and satisfaction of success can be found on the streets and in the sheets.
“Berlin Station,” the first original drama series from Epix, has too little thrills of any kind. There’s a lot of exposition very clearly pointed toward real-world politics in the opening hour, but the show’s commentary is largely muted by contradictory choices in later episodes. Through...

Marvel Studios
Following the extraordinary box office figures that R-rated smash Deadpool is currently pulling in – $621 million worldwide, at last count – the general consensus is that a lot of other movie studios are going to follow suit, and flood the market with their own R rated extravaganzas. You know, considering that it turns out there’s such a taste for it (which fans have known for years).
That said, one major studio that will not be going the darker path is Marvel. At a recent annual shareholder’s meeting over at Disney, a member asked CEO Bob Iger whether Marvel had any plans to make any R rated superhero flicks. The response was firm, as a reporter from the La Times broke over Twitter:
"We don't have any plans to make R-rated Marvel movies," Iger says in response to a shareholder comment about Fox's hit film, "Deadpool."

Welcome to the March 2, 2015 edition of Outrage Watch, HitFix's (almost) daily rundown of all the things folks are peeved about in entertainment. Today's top story: Michelle Rodriguez is really really sorry, kind of. After calling rumors that she'd been tapped to play the Green Lantern "the dumbest thing I've ever heard," the "Fast & Furious" star followed up by taking aim at fan demand for color-blind casting in superhero movies: "I think it's so stupid... this whole minorities in Hollywood thing, it's so stupid," she told TMZ. "It's like, stop stealing all the white people's superheroes. Make up your own." Uh-oh! Michelle Rodriguez has bashed her own kind and in the worst way @MRodOfficial #Shame #Hispanics How do you dare??? — Mexico Review® (@omckelligan) March 2, 2015 But I can't think of a time where I cared about Michelle Rodriguez's opinion on anything, so I don't think I'll start today. — Y'assssss Al Ghul (@beauty_jackson) February 28,...

Chicago – Albert Brooks’ classic film “Defending Your Life” (1991) has an “afterlife” of its own.
Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com will host a screening and discussion of the film on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at the Studio Movie Grill in Wheaton, Ill. as part of the Chicago Film Critics Association’s “Film with a View” series.
This was the fourth feature film for writer, director and lead actor Albert Brooks, cementing his reputation after the previous “Real Life” (1979), “Modern Romance” (1981) and “Lost in America” (1985). It concerns the state of life after death, or in the case of Brooks’ newly demised character Daniel Miller, the trial that takes place through that afterlife in “Judgement City.” Besides being an exceptionally brilliant comedy, it has the bittersweet emotions of regret, doubt and fulfillment in the overview of one man’s life. It co-stars a middle career Meryl Streep, who imbues her heroic...

When he was a teenager in Edison, N.J., Daniel Miller’s friends used to pile into cars and go to tapings of the incendiary “Morton Downey Jr. Show,” reporting back on developments “to our utter glee.” Miller never went himself, but he was a regular viewer of the seminal trash-tv talk show host and now he and friends Seth Kramer and Jeremy Newberger have directed “Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie,” which charts the stratospheric rise and precipitous fall of one of television’s most controversial, and possibly influential, figures.One of the more shocking things you learn -- or are reminded -- is that Downey was only on the air for about two years, 1987-89, during which he turned his studio into the intellectual equivalent of the Roman Colosseum.“That seems to be a common response,” Miller said. “But it seems that he tattooed himself on people’s brains.

Six years ago, Logan and Noah Miller ambushed Ed Harris after a screening at the San Francisco Film Festival and told him that he had to play their late father in their movie. Daniel Miller had passed away on a jailhouse floor four months before after a life marred by alcoholism, but before he’d died, the identical twins had promised him that they would make a movie about his life — and that Ed Harris would play him. Despite no Hollywood experience and no financing in place, the boys were persuasive and Harris rather quickly agreed. “They’re smart and...

When THR contacted James Patterson about being on its inaugural list of the 25 most powerful authors in Hollywood, he scoffed. "Power list? More like powerless list."
But while conventional wisdom puts writers far down the totem pole, the truth is that from "The Hunger Games" to the upcoming "The Hobbit," books remain the most durable source of content for films and TV.
THR selected those living authors who have been most successful in shepherding their books from page to screen, balancing success in publishing (total output, sales, best-sellers) and in Hollywood (completed adaptations, projects in development, screenwriting and producing credits) while accounting for cultural influence. More power to them.

Statistician Nate Silver was called the breakout star of the Nov. 6 election when his New York Times-based FiveThirtyEight blog accurately predicted the voting outcome in all 50 states. Now Silver soon could be called something else: a Hollywood player.
One high-level talent agency source says that Silver, who does not have entertainment representation, is attracting strong interest from the industry. This person believes Silver could try his hand at everything from box-office analysis to a correspondent gig on a television news program, not to mention radio shows and public speaking. Silver, 34, tells THR he has been approached with offers from TV producers, is pondering a follow-up to his best-selling book The Signal and the Noise (which hit No. 2 on Amazon post-election) and has been courted by Los Angeles-based talent agencies.

The family of the late director Tony Scott, who leapt to his death from a San Pedro bridge August 19 in an apparent suicide, have established a scholarship at the American Film Institute in the filmmaker's name, according to a story by Daniel Miller in the Hollywood Reporter. The Tony Scott Scholarship Fund has been created to "honor the late 'Top Gun' director's life and work" and further the AFI's mission of educating and inspiring the next generation of filmmakers. The 68-year-old director was laid to rest at a private family funeral August 24, and his family has requested that caring fans and supporters donate to the new fund rather than send flowers. Scott directed the films "Days of Thunder," "Man on Fire," "Domino," "Unstoppable," "Crimson Tide," "The Hunger" and "The Last Boy Scout," among others. While he apparently left notes to friends and family, no explanation...
