| Posted: 09 Jan 2020 06:21 PM PST  Shaken, not stirred — that's the current state of the BeyHive after seeing a picture of Beyoncé drinking James Bond's favorite drink, a martini! Fans presented even more evidence to suggest Bey could be involved in 'No Time to Die.'Beyoncé, 38, may have brought her own champagne to the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 5, but she also took a sip from a martini at the show. While that itself isn't rumor-worthy, the singer posted a photo of her lips against the glass on Jan. 8 — and the rumor mill is now spinning uncontrollably. You see, martinis just so happen to be James Bond's "signature drink," as one Twitter user pointed out (see below). Fans have not forgotten the last time Beyoncé shared a close-up shot with a piece of food — that time, a lemon — and her legendary album Lemonade dropped soon afterwards in 2016 (again, fans are hammering this point across Twitter). With these two major pieces of evidence, fans are now proposing this possibility: Beyoncé could somehow be involved in the new Bond movie, No Time to Die, coming out in April 2020. For many, the martini photo was a hint that Beyoncé could possibly be singing the intro for the new James Bond movie. "She's not gonna get away with it this time… BEYONCÉ JAMES BOND THEME CONFIRMED," one fan tweeted,while another speculator tweeted, "What makes me think Beyoncé is really doing the James Bond soundtrack is that it's less than three months before the movie yet we still don't know who are singing the songs." One fan dug really deep, unearthing a clip from Bey's 2018 Coachella set. Listeners picked up the familiar brass instruments while she sang "Don't Hurt Yourself," the same jazzy sound from the iconic James Bond theme song! "Beyoncé has been hinting at James Bond since her 2018 Coachella set when she sampled the theme tune during Don't Hurt Yourself," the BeyHive detective tweeted. Daniel Craig, 51, is reprising his role as Agent 007 (for the last time) in No Time to Die, after playing the secret agent in Casino Royale (2006), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015). Joining the 21st century's face of the James Bond films will be Ana de Darmas (who co-starred with Daniel in Knives Out), Léa Seydoux, Rami Malek, Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris. Hopefully Beyoncé's name will be added to that lineup as the movie's main vocalist! |
| Is Beyoncé in the New 'James Bond' Movie? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet Posted: 11 Jan 2020 10:58 AM PST In 2019, our queen, Beyoncé Knowles Carter gave us so much. Certainly, she gave us much more than we deserved. Beyoncé starred in Disney's live-action version of The Lion King, she gave us illustrious vocals on The Gift, and of course, she allowed Netflix to bless us with Homecoming. It's a New Year, but it's obvious that the Lemonade legend hs no plans on slowing down anytime soon. She is set to debut her IVY PARK x Adidas collection on Jan. 18, and it looks like the songstress will be leading herself to another beloved massive franchise. Daniel Craig's last turn as James Bond is set to debut in April 2020 and it appears that Beyoncé just gave us a huge clue that she will have her hand in it in some form or fashion. 'No Time to Die' debuts April 8, 2020In his final film as 007 — Daniel Craig's James Bond will find himself pulled out of retirement to track down a kidnapped scientist while coming to blows with a diabolical villain (Rami Malek), who has his hands on a some new and very terrifying technological weaponry. Cary Joji Fukunaga is sitting in the director's chair for Craig's fifth and final installment as the MI6 agent — but women were also hugely influential in this film. Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge co-wrote the screenplay. Also, in addition to Naomie Harris, Knives Out's Ana de Armas will be joining the cast as a CIA agent and Lashana Lynch will also star as a mysterious 00 agent. Set five years after Bond's retirement, we will watch him step back into active duty for this role. Beyoncé just gave us some major clues about James BondFrom Sam Smith to Adele, some major names have sung the theme songs for various James Bond films. It looks like Beyoncé may be lending her stunning vocals to No Time To Die. The songstress and her husband, JAY-Z showed up to the 2020 Golden Globes last week and they made quite an entrance. Not only were they an hour late to the festivities, but they also brought their own bottles of Ace of Spades champagne with them. However, fans were shook when the songstress posted a photo of herself sipping from a martini at the show. Why bring champagne if she wanted a martini? James Bond and Beyoncé fans were quick to note that the martini is Bond's "signature drink." This wouldn't be the first time the iconic entertainer gave us hints about her music. Back in 2016, she posted a close up of a lemon and dropped Lemonade shortly thereafter. Fans are overwhelmed by this possible Beyoncé and James Bond collabObviously, the Beyhive is buzzing. One fan tweeted, "She's not gonna get away with it this time… BEYONCÉ JAMES BOND THEME CONFIRMED." Another fan added, "What makes me think Beyoncé is really doing the James Bond soundtrack is that it's less than three months before the movie yet we still don't know who are singing the songs." Yet another Bey stan claims the songstress has been hinting at singing the No Time To Die theme song since Beychella 2018. "Beyoncé has been hinting at James Bond since her 2018 Coachella set when she sampled the theme tune during Don't Hurt Yourself," they quipped. It looks like we will find out soon enough. |
| The Best Movies by Female Filmmakers 2019 - Patch.com Posted: 12 Jan 2020 01:10 PM PST  2019 was an exceptional year for women in front of and behind the camera. Exceptional, in part, because films made by talented female filmmakers found their way to the screen, whether big or small, and were backed up and supported by film lovers like never before. That is both exciting and a little bit depressing. Still, if 2019 is a portent of things to come, it's a great sign that women in film are actually making inroads towards parity, that they might get hired to film more big budget, studio releases, and might also get more and more funding from places like Netflix, Amazon, and other alternate platforms. Let's all hope this content bubble lasts long enough to create names for these amazing artists. Let's also cross our fingers that audiences will show up in greater numbers than they did for wonderful, worthy films like Booksmart and Late Night. Getting the word out is absolutely key. With that in mind, I've put together a list of great narrative features, along with a few wonderful documentaries, released in US theaters in 2019, in the hopes you will make an effort to seek them out. They are not only worthy of your time, but several may become longterm favorites. They are not listed in order of preference, although it's no secret to those who know me that Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Nightingale, Tigers Are Not Afraid, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood are films I believe deserve awards attention, whether they've gotten it or not. Many have links to my reviews, or to the blurbs created as part of the Movie of the Week (#MOTW) or my interviews with filmmakers. Let me know if you've seen any of these! Here's to an even more spectacular year for women in film in 2020! Portrait of a Lady on Fire (written and directed by Céline Sciamma), about a young artist (Noemi Merlant) sent to a remote island tasked with clandestinely painting a portrait of a reluctant bride-to-be (Adele Haenel), is an intoxicating love story between two young women straining from societal expectations. Not only is the love story completely compelling, the powerful characters and the environments in which they interact, for queer and straight viewers alike, are the stuff of feminist dreams. (Opening wide in the US February 14th, 2020) The Nightingale (written and directed by Jennifer Kent) is a revenge film the likes of which you've never seen, from the auteur filmmaker who brought you The Babadook. Lead actor Aisling Franciosi proves she's a talent to be reckoned with as an Irish convict in 1925 Tasmania bent on killing those responsible for the violence and murder that led to the death of her family. She is aided by an Aboriginal tracker (Baykali Ganambarr) with whom she forges a mutual bond. The cinematography is gorgeous, and even if the story is full of difficult scenes, they are constructed from the female perspective, one which has never been voiced in quite this way before on film. (Now streaming on Hulu.) Tigers Are Not Afraid (written and directed by Issa Lopez) has a fantastical quality that weaves through its blend of horror and dark coming-of-age tales of Estrella (Paola Lara) who navigates street life with a missing mother in urban Mexico. She encounters a band of homeless boys, and together they try to evade drug cartels out to kill them, all while the specters of the dead whisper to her. Are they aiding her or leading her to her doom? This movie is raw, magical, and moving. (Now streaming on Shudder.) READ MY SPOTLIGHT ON FILMMAKER ISSA LOPEZ FOR AWFJ.ORG A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (directed by Marielle Heller) is yet another example of the Academy et al snubbing one of the best directorial performances, this time in 2019. She was also largely ignored for her work as director of 2018's Can You Ever Forgive Me? Tom Hanks co-stars as Fred Rogers in a film about forgiveness and compassion, for ourselves and others. Heller's work is masterful here, not least in the way she makes room for communication, trusting the screenplay and the actors to bring the emotional truth of the story to life. (still in theaters) Clemency (written and directed by Chinonye Chukwu) In some of lead Alfre Woodard's best work, the actor plays a prison warden struggling with playing a part in capital punishment, especially as it relates to an inmate of questionable guilt. That inmate is played by Aldis Hodge, who absolutely deserves to be nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. The Farewell (written and directed by Lulu Wang) not only further raises actor Awkwafina's stock, it gives us all a look into the lives of one Chinese family, as they cope with the impending death of their matriarch, Nai Nai. Based on a true story, it goes from funny to bittersweet, sad, awkward, and back to funny, often within one scene. Booksmart (directed by Olivia Wilde) is a delight from the first words uttered by co-leads Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein, which is about two straight-laced high school students who aim to misbehave on the eve of their graduation. The screenplay and portrayals by Dever, Feldstein, and their supporting cast only get better with repeated viewing. It should have be seen more on its initial release, but no doubt time will do it justice, and make it the coming of age feminist classic it deserves to be. (Now streaming on Hulu) Atlantics (written and directed by Mati Diop) Beautifully dressed in the finery of a love story, where visceral feelings and a pervasively languid visual language wash over you like warm summer waves, Atlantics entrances its audience while giving voice to issues of economic disparity, gender inequality, and the destructive nature of colonialism. (Now streaming on Netflix) Honey Boy (directed by Alma Har'el) surprises both fans and detractors of Shia LaBeouf with his insightful writing and portrayal of his own alcoholic, narcissistic father, and Har'el captures his truth on film in this uncomfortable, funny, and sometimes uncomfortably funny examination of childhood trauma. Queen & Slim (directed by Melina Matsoukas) will break your heart but soothe it as well, all within a story about racism, fear, and love. Queen and Slim, two (unnamed) people of color who meet on a date go on the run after a stop by a racist cop goes wrong. They fall for each other while trying to stay alive and becoming cult heroes. Blinded by the Light (written and directed by Gurinda Chadha) To write a story that takes place 20 miles from London at the height of 80s anti-immigrant hate about a would-be writer Pakistani boy who falls in love with and is inspired by the music of Bruce Springsteen and have it be so utterly charming, optimistic, and, at its core, devoid of cynicism, is a miracle that needs to be seen. Frozen 2 (written and co-directed by Jennifer Lee) This movie is so much witchier than its predecessor! The whole story revolves around the 5 elements and the power Elsa must harness to come into alignment with them. It will probably sit at the top of the very short list of "Pagan Films released by Disney" forever. Late Night (directed by Nisha Ganatra) More a strongly femme Broadcast News and less The Devil Wears Prada, new comedy Late Night offers a look at the challenges of working on a comedy talk show while female, and to hilarious effect. Written by Mindy Kaling and starring Kaling and Patron Saint of Smart Women in Film Emma Thompson, the female gaze is all over this cast and crew, and it shows. Always Be My Maybe (Directed by Nahhatchka Khan) Netflix leans into the belief that rom-coms are viable, especially when they feature a diverse cast. There should be plenty of romantics and lovers of great comedy who will be here for it. Co-written by Ali Wong, the film stars Wong and Randall Park as childhood friends Sasha and Marcus, who meet and grow close again as adults, and there are lots of interesting characters and laugh-out-loud moments to be had. Rafiki (written and directed by Wanuri Kahiu) is a lyrical love story about two teenage girls and first-time lovers who face judgement and bigotry, which has led to significant changes in its country of origin. In 2018, Kahiu discovered her film was going to premiere at Cannes Film Festival, a first for Kenya. Meanwhile, in her own country, where anyone found engaging in same-sex sexual activities can face up to 14 years in prison, the Kenyan Film Board banned Rafiki, for what it said was "legitimizing lesbianism". After the Kenyan Supreme Court sided with Kahiu, the film was shown to sold out audiences everywhere it played. (Streaming on Amazon Prime) Rust Creek (directed by Jen McGowan) Watching this suspenseful escape thriller, a realization dawns at how rare it is to see a capable, strong everywoman work her way through a dangerous situation that has put her very life at risk. College-bound Sawyer Scott gets lost on the back roads of Kentucky, only to be chased into the wilderness by two men planning to cause her harm. (Now streaming on Netflix) Abominable (written and co-directed by Jill Culton) features a lost child Yeti being taken home to the Himalayans by 3 plucky teens. The sweetness and charm of the relationships and the gorgeous Chinese landscape that was the result of lots of research come together to make it a creative, fun, and original animated feature. High Life (co-written and directed by Claire Denis) Who that loves film doesn't want to see science fiction and space 'Denis-ed', and in English? The filmmaker brings her curiosity about the value of life, and the ambiguity and subjective understanding of parenthood, sexuality, and gender to a film starring Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche. What more do you need to know? (Now streaming online) DOCUMENTARIES Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé (directed by Beyoncé) As if she needs to excel at absolutely everything, Beyonce has created a concert documentary of her own performance so inspiring, spirited, and thrilling, we can only watch it in awe. The superstar takes the world through the black experience, exposing everyone to the African-American culture through dance, performance, and sheer force of will. You don't have to be a fan of hers to marvel at colossal undertaking that is Homecoming. (Streaming on Netflix) For Sama (co-directed by Waad Al-Kateab) is an intensely emotional and visceral film co-directed by Syrian journalist Al-Khateab that will likely stay with audiences far beyond the viewing of it, possibly even for a lifetime. It is a chronicle of Waad's daily life during the uprising in Aleppo. Dedicated to her daughter Sama, it is meant to convey the complicated experience of balancing being both a parent and a freedom fighter. (Watch on Frontline's YouTube channel HERE. ) One Child Nation (Co-directed by Nanfu Wang and Jianling Zhang) The filmmakers say they created this film, which is banned in China, to counter the inevitable propaganda bent on changing China's history books and collective cultural memory about its longstanding policy. Part investigative journalism and part personal history, and it is a valuable record of one country's disastrous social experiment. (Streaming on Amazon) Making Waves (written and directed by Midge Costin) Though Costin highlights some of the most important contributors to sound in film throughout history, many of whom are men, she also shines a light on the many women who are part of the industry, as well. Viewers can't help but be educated and entertained, and will have a new appreciation for one aspect below the line in film. (At screenings across the country) Knock Down the House (directed by Rachel Lears) follows four female candidates as they run for office for the first time, without the use of corporate donations. The documentary features a diverse group of women, including now-famous Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as Amy Vilela, Cori Bush, and Paula Jean Swearengin. Vilela, a passionate advocate for better health care, was driven to enter politics when a preventable family tragedy reinforced her belief that the health care system in the US is broken.
