The box office did not treat it well, but this stimulating apocalyptic fable now reaches prime video and it is worth recovering it

by

There are those who tire postapocalyptic films with arbitrary rules that must be met to survive. Do not make noise. Don’t look. Don’t talk. Do not move. And in ‘You never release‘, that now premiere prime videothe rule is clear from the first moment: do not stop grabbing your classmates, do not stay alone, or get on the way. However, this proposal starts from that point to go in a very dike direction A manido start, yes, but effective and reserves a good amount of surprises. Everything fits that in command of this party we have Alexandre Aja, the Frenchman who terrified us at the beginning of his career with the extraordinary remake of ‘Las Colinas has eyes’, and that he has then developed a career full of ups and downs, yes, but With pieces of pure horror as estimated as ‘high voltage’, ‘Piraña 3D’, ‘Hell underwater’ or ‘oxygen’. On this occasion, Aja presents us with two twin children who live sections in a cabin in the depth of the forest with his mother (Halle Berry), which tells them about a dangerous spirit that lives abroad. To survive they must always be together, even tied by strings. It is a measure that will begin to question according to children are growing and suspect that the world does not work as they have told them. Mental illnesses, traumas and overprotection are some of the ingredients of this tense story not exactly apocalyptic (although moods are very there). Full of macabre details that certify the good visual taste of AJA, ‘You never let go’, unfortunately, it was received very timidly at the box officeand raised only 21.8 million dollars compared to the already lean 20 that had a budget. It is time to recover it and give it a new opportunity. In Xataka | ‘Oxygen’: a science fiction thriller of Netflix and Alexandre Aja (‘High voltage’) in which surprises and claustrophobia abound

I wanted to be one of the great science fiction sagas, but the box office failure took ahead to the book saga

by

‘Twilight’ and ‘The hunger games’, like or not, marked an era. His aesthetics, his arguments and even his industrial logic (successfully female literary saga, and that adapts in a film with aspiration to open a saga) sowed A series of seeds that set in a good amount of sagas As the semi -infallid ‘divergent’, although few achieved the fame of the two most successful franchises. In fact, Stephanie Meyer herself, author of ‘Twilight’, launched to experiment with science fiction. The result was’The host‘, a new editorial success that was quickly adapted to the cinema. And the film, directed by Andrew Niccol (signatory of ‘Gattaca’ and screenwriter of ‘The Truman show’), was not bad at all. However, the failure was considerable, with only 63,3 million dollars collected around the world compared to 40 budget, insufficient for the saga to have continuity. The film tells how the earth has been invaded by beings that are housed in human bodies and control their minds. The creature that inhabits the body of a young land has to live fight against the memories of this, who strives to not losing the control. To do this, rConstantly recue the man who is in lovewhich makes the creature, Wanderer, also ends up in love with that human. Both will end up allying to reunite with him. As you can see, high doses of youth romanticism in a film that, despite its dishes with the teenage fashions of that time, has a good amount of powerful ideas: visually it is attractive, the cast (Saosear Ronan, Diane Kruger, Emily Browning) It is more interesting than usual and has good doses of violence that distance it from the white approach of ‘twilight’. A pity, since Meyers also abandoned the continuation of the literary series, and there is no way of knowing (for the moment) how the story ends.

This safe box office is based on an editorial phenomenon that has sold four million books

The roller of the premieres dedicated to the child public does not stop. After the inevitable avalanche of Christmas productions that have given us successes such as’WICKED‘,’Sonic 3‘ either ‘MUFASA‘, It comes almost without giving time to take a breath’ Polyán ‘, the story of a half human police half a dog. Land under the seal of DreamWorks Animation, signers of franchises such as ‘Shrek’, ‘Kung fu panda’ or ‘Trolls’. But this is not a more animation movie. Box office expectations. The first advances of What can be the loss of ‘Polyán‘They maintain expectations under control, because it is clear that the next most or less clear success for the coming weeks is Captain America’s new film, in mid -February. The forecasts point to an amount between 20 and 27 million dollars, which would leave the film in a very good position to recover its modest 40 million dollars of budget, and above all, they align it with ‘Captain underpants: its first movie’ , which raised a similar amount in 2017 in its first weekend and ended up pushing more than 125 million worldwide. POLICAN: ORIGINS. The mention of Captain Folders is not accidental. If at some point you have underestimated this franchise for considering it second next to the giants of child entertainment, think twice: created by Dav Pilkey, the original series of enlightened novels of Captain Colden It has sold 80 million copies worldwide. He has generated the aforementioned film and a Netflix series, but has been stopping since 2016. Reason? Policy took over. A hairy spin-off. At the moment, the success of ‘Policán’ has led him to generate more books than the mother series: he has 13 volumes, the last of this year. Everyone tells in comic format the story of this character that is born as a comic that reads the characters of ‘Captain underpants’. And in fact, success has been such that it has given light, in turn, to its own spin-off, ‘the Chikigato Comic Club’, which already has five volumes. May children sing. If something demonstrates ‘Polyán’ (although, an extra ball nothing negligible, it also seems funny) is the potential of family products, which continue to take the lists of the highest grossing of the year. We talked a few days ago How ‘Bluey’ is the most watched program in streaming of 2024, above series and much more publicized films. ‘Policán’ is a less known product, but it can still boast millions of books sold and a faithful audience that will see it in the cinema, and then repeatedly in streaming. There is nothing strange that films like this continue to produce. The strange thing is that we do not see one of these every week.

Wisconsin man accused of setting fire to lawmaker’s office over TikTok ban

by

MADISON, Wisconsin, USA — A Wisconsin man who allegedly told police he tried to set fire to a lawmaker’s office because he was upset with the federal ban on the social media platform TikTok was charged Wednesday with multiple counts, including one of arson. Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney filed a complaint against 19-year-old Caiden Stachowicz, charging him with felony arson, making terrorist threats, attempted robbery and criminal damage. property. If convicted of all charges, he would face a sentence of more than 50 years in prison. Stachowicz, a native of Menasha City, was scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday morning. Online court records indicated Judge Tricia Walker set cash bail for him at $500,000 and ordered him to have no contact with Republican U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman or his staff. He was also prohibited from possessing any dangerous weapons or materials to start a fire. Records showed Stachowicz appeared via video call from jail. His lawyer could not be contacted at this time. According to the complaint, a police officer responded to a fire outside Grothman’s office in Fond du Lac around 1 a.m. Sunday and saw Stachowicz standing near the site. The officer said that while he was working to put out the flames with his fire extinguisher, Stachowicz told him he started the fire because he doesn’t like Grothman. The officer handcuffed Stachowicz and took him to the police department. Firefighters and police quickly extinguished the fire, limiting the damage. During an interview at the police department, Stachowicz told the officer that he bought gasoline and matches to start a fire in Grothman’s office, according to the complaint. He said he tried to get into the office so he could start the fire inside, but he couldn’t break the window. He then poured the gasoline into an electrical box at the back of the building and around the front of the building, lit a match and watched it burn, the complaint adds. He noted that he wanted to burn the building because the US government was shutting down TikTok and Grothman voted “in favor” of banning the social network, according to the complaint. Grothman voted in favor of a bill in April last year that forced TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operation by Sunday. Stachowicz said he believed the closure violated his constitutional rights. He added that he had participated in peaceful protests in the past, but no longer believes peace is an option, the complaint states. “Caiden said it was a government building and he wanted to cause a disruption and make a point by starting the fire in the building,” according to the complaint. “Caiden commented that he wished the entire building had burned down.” When asked if he expected people to be inside the building, he said no and that he didn’t want to hurt anyone, and he didn’t want to hurt Grothman either. TikTok went down in the US on Saturday afternoon, but the platform was back up and running hours later after then-President-elect Donald Trump said he would try to give ByteDance more time to find a buyer. Trump signed an executive order Monday after taking office instructing the U.S. attorney general not to implement the ban for 75 days. When asked to comment on the charges, Grothman spokeswoman Noelle Young responded by saying Grothman would call The Associated Press directly. However, the lawmaker had not contacted the AP as of Wednesday afternoon.

Trump orders federal workers back to office or threatens layoffs

by

In one of his first actions as president of the United States, Donald Trump issued an executive order ending remote work for all federal employees, a measure aimed at reducing the federal workforce through attrition. The White House directed all US government departments and agencies in the executive branch to end remote work arrangements and require employees to return to work full time. Department heads may exempt some workers from this requirement, but in very specific cases. The executive order was one of multiple directives aimed at the 2.3 million-person federal workforce that, along with the return-to-the-office mandate, includes a hiring freeze, revamped hiring rules and other measures to make it more easy to fire high-level career employees. The White House said the measures were necessary to limit what Trump and his supporters consider a “deep state” that fought against his actions during the president’s first term. “There have been numerous well-documented cases of career federal officials resisting and undermining the policies and directives of their executive leadership.”states one of the executive orders signed by the president on Monday night “Therefore, the principles of good administration require that measures be taken to restore accountability to career officials,” he continues. According to the Office of Management and Budget, about 1.1 million federal civilian employees, that is, 46% of the civilian workforce, were eligible for some form of teleworking. Of those, approximately 228,000 workers, or 10% of the total workforce, had fully remote positions with no obligation to go to an office. Union reaction The return-to-office directive is expected to face a fight from federal unions, some of which have remote work written into their contracts. A union representing government workers criticized the mandate as representing a return to the patronage system thatthat oversaw the federal workforce until the end of the 19th century. “Every American has a stake in ensuring that federal employees remain free to carry out the mission of the agencies that employ them without fear of political interference,” Everett Kelly, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a statement. (AFGE), which represents 800,000 workers in the federal government and the government of the District of Columbia. Kelly, whose union represents employees of the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration, among other agencies, also called Trump’s directives “a blatant attempt to corrupt the government.” federal law by eliminating employees’ due process rights so they can be fired for political reasons.” The National Treasury Employees Union filed a lawsuit against the president’s “Schedule F” executive order, a directive that makes it easier for the Trump administration to fire career government employees. Trump’s order is “contrary to the intent of Congress,” according to the complaint filed Monday night in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
