Imani Motion Pictures Releases New Trailer For ‘DUTCH,’ An Urban Literature Cult Classic By Teri Woods
Directed by Preston Whitmore (“This Christmas,” “True To The Game”), DUTCH introduces a player who will use any means necessary to dominate the streets and beyond. For Bernard James, Jr. aka “Dutch” (Gross), survival is the ultimate score and power is the deadliest high of all. There isn’t an angle he can’t work or a woman he can’t seduce. When he gains control of an African drug lord’s stolen heroin business, Dutch quickly makes it the most feared drug empire on the East Coast. Naturally, there are plenty of enemies vowing to take him down, including a vengeful Mafia heir, an ambitious DA and a conscience-stricken former friend. With Dutch fighting for his life, while on trial, he plays the game and scores a winning hand in the face of all that betrayed him and finds justice his way … the street way!
Supporting cast include Markice Moore (“Snowfall”), Miles Stroter (“The Quad”), Robert Costanzo (“Modern Family”) and Natasha Marc (“Ballers”).
“This film is lit and features an all-star cast,” says Manny Halley, DUTCH producer and founder of Imani Motion Pictures. “DUTCH is an iconic story within the urban literary genre, so we had to get every detail right – and I’m very proud of what we accomplished! Also, we are thrilled to be introduce the ever talented Multi-Platinum rapper Gunna in his feature film debut. You will see a side of him that you’ve never seen before and I promise you will be wowed by his performance. Come join us in theaters on Thanksgiving weekend and experience Dutch’s story!”
The official film soundtrack, which will feature tracks by Macy Gray, Gunna, Fabolous and OT Genesis among others, will also be released on November 27 on iTunes and other retailers. The soundtrack is executive produced by Wheezy Beatz and Manny Halley.
DUTCH is written by Preston Whitmore and produced by Manny Halley, Rodney Turner II and Yolanda Halley.

George Clooney to Receive AARP The Magazine’s Movies for Grownups® Awards Career Achievement Honor
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — AARP The Magazine announced today that George Clooney will receive its annual Movies for Grownups® Career Achievement Award. Clooney – a recipient of two Academy Awards®, a BAFTA® and three Golden Globes®, including the Cecil B. DeMille award – will be honored at the Movies for Grownups® (MFG) Awards, broadcast on Sunday, March 28, 2021, at 8 p.m. by Great Performances on PBS.
“We are delighted to honor George Clooney, whose mastery – and wit – make him one of the most talented and beloved actors of our day, and a director who’d be famous even if we’d never seen him onscreen,” said AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins. “The combination of his smarts, hard work and experience shows just how wrong stereotypes about aging are.”
For two decades, AARP’s Movies for Grownups program has championed movies for grownups, by grownups, by advocating for the 50-plus audience, fighting industry ageism and encouraging films that resonate with older viewers. AARP’s Movies for Grownups has always focused on quality content and will continue to do so by expanding its awards program to TV categories.
Clooney will receive Movies for Grownups’ highest honor at the virtual awards ceremony, which will also include recognition for 2020’s best films and filmmakers, including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Television Series for Grownups and more.
He joins a prestigious list of previous AARP Movies for Grownups Career Achievement honorees, including Annette Bening, Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Shirley MacLaine, Helen Mirren, Robert Redford, Susan Sarandon, and Sharon Stone.
George Clooney began his career on television, rising to national prominence in his 30s in the hit medical drama ER, playing Dr. Doug Ross. He earned two Primetime Emmy nominations in 1995 and 1996 for his work on the show. Clooney branched out into movie work in films such as From Dusk Till Dawn, One Fine Day, and The Peacemaker. His work with Steven Soderbergh in Out of Sight cemented his status as a leading man and began one of Hollywood’s most fruitful director-actor collaborations. Clooney continued to demonstrate his range as an actor in The Perfect Storm, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and a remake of the Rat Pack romp Ocean’s Eleven, which inspired two hit sequels. With each film, box office success followed. Clooney’s directorial debut came in 2002, with the film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Since, Clooney has continued to push himself as an actor, taking on challenging roles that have further established him as a smart, serious actor. Clooney’s success continued in the streaming era, as he produced, directed and starred in Hulu’s Catch-22, and Netflix’s The Midnight Sky. His films have grossed $1.9 billion and continue to prove Clooney’s success as an actor over 50 in Hollywood. He continues to forge his own path as an all-around entertainment powerhouse.
The MFG Awards winners will be announced on March 4 at www.aarp.org/moviesforgrownups. The virtual ceremony will be broadcast by Great Performances on Sunday, March 28, 2021, at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/moviesforgrownups and the PBS Video app.

Australian Senator flags issue of violence by extremist, right-wing Hindu nationalists
He said: “The most recent attack that I’ve heard of, which was again at Harris Park and again as recently as Sunday night, was where four young men from the Sikh community were celebrating. In fact, they got a new car, and then it was smashed. They were stopped on the street, and it was smashed. In the course of the assault, I understand, that the assailants identified the reason they were smashing was because of the occupants being from the Sikh community. And it came from a far-right extremist political position.”
“I have not seen a single report of a violent act coming from any part of the political spectrum from the Indian community other than the extremist, right-wing Hindu nationalist part of the community,” he noted.
“Sometimes, being the champion of harmony in the community involves naming and calling out extremist elements that are tearing down that harmony in the community, and general platitudes may not be the best response if the violence and the aggression is coming from a known source,” he added.

Vision Films To Release Gen Y Coming-of-Age Comedy Film, Honesty Weekend
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Vision Films Inc. (“Vision”) announces the VOD and dvd release of Honesty Weekend from writer-director Leslie Thomas and Putti Media on February 16, 2021. At the heart of this thoroughly modern relationship comedy is a young marriage in trouble and a diverse group of close friends struggling to embrace intimacy and true adulthood. Primarily filmed over ten days in a country house, the grounded ensemble keeps it real, and sometimes raunchy, as they grapple with a myriad of issues including sex, body image, infidelity, long-held secrets and the growing pains of evolving friendships. Original music by Mandy Hoffman (The Lovers, Hala, I Love Dick).
Synopsis: To turn their marriage around, a young couple on the rocks is prescribed a weekend of total honesty by their therapist. When their rambunctious group of friends joins them, the good, the bad, and the hilarious comes out in a way that only long-time friends can reveal. This no-holds-barred weekend of truth-telling, fun, and chaos may not have been the best idea.

Starring Adam Bartley (Longmire), Natalie Ceballos (United We Fall), Dioni Michelle Collins (General Hospital), Pete Ploszek (Teen Wolf, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Sabina Gadecki (L.A.’s Finest), Evan Watkins (Adam Ruins Everything), Susan Walters (Vampire Diaries, Loving, The Young The Restless), and Lorraine Pascale (celebrity chef/TV personality).
Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares, “Honesty Weekend is a contemporary ensemble relationship movie akin to classic coming-of-age films, such as The Big Chill, that examine and confront good and bad personal truths and betrayals. Behind the humor lies very poignant messages of acceptance, tolerance and self-love, important reminders for everyone, especially these days.”
Writer-Director Leslie Thomas adds, “I savor good relationship comedies. So when I decided to make my first feature film, I wanted to deal with characters on what I call the ‘bridge to adulthood’ struggling to let go of immature beliefs, outdated fantasies and fears in order to grow. Growth is, by its nature, painful and awkward, so it’s perfect for comedy. During the shoot, I played with improvisation and kept things loose. You believe these people are friends because they became friends as we created genuine camaraderie and connection in that house in Topanga Canyon.”
Honesty Weekend will be available on streaming and cable platforms including: Amazon, iTunes, GooglePlay, Vudu, FandangoNow, and across hundreds of cable providers including Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, Cox, Dish, DirecTV and more. dvd retailers will include Amazon and all other major online retailers.

Spider-Man 3: Why Keeping Tobey Maguire And Andrew Garfield Out Of Tom Holland’s Next MCU Movie Is A Good Idea
In the end, I want good stories, and good Spider-Man stories. If we were to get a live-action Spider-Verse, and it works, I’ll happily admit I was wrong here, but the whole thing just feels like an exercise that has significantly more down side than up side. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man didn’t end on the highest note, and The Amazing Spider-Man never got a real ending at all, but adding them to the current franchise doesn’t really fix those problems, it’s just going to create new ones.
