‘Greyhound’ Production Designer & Costume Designer On Challenges Of Tom Hanks’ WWII Drama – Contenders Film
“We were also filming between a set and a real ship,” Crank says, noting the use of the USS Kidd, the preserved WWII destroyer that is now a museum ship in Baton Rouge, LA. “So, it was a constantly evolving kind of idea of how they were filming this because of all the sea portions. So we never really knew what was going to be on the ship and what was going to be on our set, so it all had to match.” … [Read more...] about ‘Greyhound’ Production Designer & Costume Designer On Challenges Of Tom Hanks’ WWII Drama – Contenders Film
‘Minari’ Team On How Its American Family Drama Hits Close To Home – Contenders Film
Lee Isaac Chung’s family drama Minari is named after a Korean herb that “comes in the pockets of immigrants, dies in the first year, thrives in the second, purifies the water and the soil around it.” There couldn’t be a more perfect analogy for this story about the American Dream. … [Read more...] about ‘Minari’ Team On How Its American Family Drama Hits Close To Home – Contenders Film
Unnecessary drama over Okorocha’s election certificate
Considering the concerns of INEC about the posture of security operatives at an election, it is expedient to get to the bottom of the story. We can also not rule out the possibility that the governor’s opponents may have perfected this theory of duress as a back-up arrangement once things were not going well with the voting. No one should forget that we are talking about Imo state where APC nomination forms for the primary election forms got missing at a time and the governor got the Police to escort a suspect to the likely venue of the hidden forms only for the suspect to vanish in the presence of everyone … [Read more...] about Unnecessary drama over Okorocha’s election certificate

Where Doctor Who actors are now – controversial exits, deaths and surprise co-star marriage
After four years he decided to step down as he didn't want to "outstay" his welcome, saying: "It would be very easy to cling on to the TARDIS console forever and I fear that if I don't take a deep breath and make the decision to move on now, then I simply never will." … [Read more...] about Where Doctor Who actors are now – controversial exits, deaths and surprise co-star marriage
Dennis Nilsen ‘laughing at victims’ families from beyond grave’ in chilling book

Inside the NYPD’s Special Victims Division
But in a series of exclusive interviews with NEWSWEEK, Special Victims cops laid out in painstaking and painful detail the way they investigate all their cases. Theirs is a world of far more monstrous stories than just Strauss-Kahn's. Their daily ration of cases are called, oddly, "the daily unusuals." But they're not unusual at all: they're a chronicle of brutal perversion and coy deception, unspeakable violence, and damning self-delusion. Some make headlines for their horror: the Columbia Journalism School graduate student who was raped and tortured for 19 hours in 2007, her eyelids slit, her body blistered with boiling water by a homeless man who followed her to her apartment. Others inspire headlines because of celebrity, like the Oscar-winning songwriter Joseph Brooks ("You Light Up My Life"), who committed suicide last week rather than face trial for luring at least 11 women to his apartment to rape and sexually abuse them. But most of the cases, even some of the most gruesome, … [Read more...] about Inside the NYPD’s Special Victims Division

But they need to get it right.” … [Read more...] about In first days, Biden flashes action as deep problems loom
