Among the new releases on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a> this week, there is the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/horror">horror</a> slasher “Thanksgiving,” starring Patrick Dempsey and Addison Rae. The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/films">film</a>, which was originally released in 2023, is now the second most watched movie on the platform in the US, according to FlixPatrol (as Feb. 18th).



The movie could dethrone “Players,” from the number 1 spot. The romantic-comedy (starring Gina Rodriguez, Tom Ellis and Damon Wayans Jr.) achieved the top spot with only a day on the platform, after arriving on Valentine’s Day.



While its global reign is still intact, “Thanksgiving” has become a hit on the platform. The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movie</a> was directed by Eli Roth, who is known for other films in the genre such as Hostel: Part II (2007) and The Green Inferno (2013). 



<h2>‘Thanksgiving,’ one of the best slasher of 2023</h2>



‘Thanksgiving’ is set in the quiet town of Plymouth, Massachusetts, in which the people are terrorized by a Thanksgiving-inspired killer wearing a ghoulish John Carver mask. Apart from Dempsey and Rae, the movie stars Milo Manheim, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Nell Verlaque, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Gershon.



The movie was a success among critics and audiences alike. At the global box office, it grossed a little over $46 million against a budget of $15 million. It also received rave reviews, especially praising the tone of the movie, which effectively combined humor and horror.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 84% of 147 critics’ reviews are positive. Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote “Thanksgiving follows the rules of the slasher genre, but it’s got a more charged and entertainingly hyperbolic atmosphere than these movies used to have”



Meanwhile, Esther Zuckerman of GQ said that “Thanksgiving, for the most part, is way more fun than it needs to be. Dempsey—the Sexiest Man Alive, according to People—is having a great time, and newcomer Verlaque makes for a good final girl, with the right mix of earnestness and in-on-the-joke winks.”

Currently, it is in the running to surpass other productions ahead of the biopic, such as The Re-Education of Molly Singer starring Britt Robertson and the comedy Horrible Bosses 2 featuring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Jennifer Aniston.



The plot follows the true story of Moe Berg, a Major League Baseball player who, during World War II, becomes a spy for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor to the CIA.

The story of Moe Berg has fascinated many due to the unique combination of his skills in baseball and his role in intelligence during a crucial period of world history. His life has been the subject of books, documentaries, and, as mentioned earlier, the film The Catcher Was a Spy.



He was a notable figure in the history of baseball and intelligence during World War II, as after his career in sports, he became a spy. He played for various teams, including the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Washington Senators, and Boston Red Sox.

Although not considered a star player, Berg was known for his intelligence and spoke multiple languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Sanskrit. During World War II, Berg joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the CIA, due to his linguistic skills and education at Princeton and Columbia University.

He was sent on missions to Europe and Asia to assess the German and Japanese nuclear threat. In a famous mission, he attended a scientific conference in Switzerland to determine the progress of the German nuclear program. Despite his diverse professions and success, Berg led a discreet life and never fully revealed his activities as a spy.

Ambulance is the new seventh most-watched film on Prime Video, and according to the specialized site Flix Patrol, it has managed to surpass other major productions in the catalog, such as John Wick: Chapter 4 with Keanu Reeves, The Surprise Visit with Rob Riordan and Role Play with Kaley Cuoco.



The story follows two brothers, who become involved in a bank robbery. After the robbery, they decide to escape in an ambulance, triggering a series of intense and dangerous events. The plot focuses on the race against time and the tension between the characters involved.



Michael Bay (Transformers and Bad Boys) not only directed the film but also served as a producer alongside a significant group of executives, including James Vanderbilt, Bradley Fischer, Will Sherak, Ian Bryce and Chad Oman.



<h2>Jake Gyllenhaal talked about the experience of working with Michael Bay</h2>



Two years ago, the main cast was interviewed by Collider, and during the conversation, Jake Gyllenhaal talked about Michael Bay, who is considered a respected filmmaker within the industry. There, he confessed:



“In the action genre, I think he’s an auteur and his style in working is about capturing what is alive and real in a moment. And I think outside of Fincher and comparatively Bay, I think every great director that I’ve worked with is going after what is honest. 



They’re great because that’s what they’re trying to do, whether it’s in the frame, which I know Fincher spends a lot of time focused on. Michael does too, in a totally different way. They’re actually radically similar in them following energy that they feel is honest”.



<h2>How did Ambulance differ from other thrillers?</h2>



Ambulance sets itself apart from other thrillers with its intense and action-packed plot centered around a bank robbery and the subsequent getaway in an ambulance. The film stands out due to the direction of Michael Bay, known for his spectacular visual style and exciting action sequences.

</div></figure>



<h2>Blueback: Difference between the book and the film</h2>



While the film and the novel follow the same plot, there are some differences between the original story and the adaptation. One of them, it’s the change of gender of its protagonist. However, the essence of the original is still present in the movie.



One of the main messages of ‘Blueback’ is the relationship between humans and the environment, and how corporations usually don’t care about the damage their business may cause the planet.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20240214_SPEN_6097_blueback1-1024x576_f11dfc74.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="eric bana" class="wp-image-6134" srcset="https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/02/blueback1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/02/blueback1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/02/blueback1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/02/blueback1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://spoiler-en.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2024/02/blueback1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Eric Bana in “Blueback” (IMDb)</figcaption></figure>

Starring <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/dakota-johnson">Dakota Johnson</a>, the suspense thriller is just a few days away from its debut on the big screen and later its streaming release.



Directed by S.J. Clarkson, the spin-off focuses on a clairvoyant mutant who is forced to confront revelations from her past and forms a relationship with three young women destined for powerful future, if they can survive a deadly present.



Despite the hype from comic enthusiasts and the lead actresses, the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/films">film</a> has not received great reviews from professionals, being labeled as the worst so far. On Rotten Tomatoes, it only reached 17%.



<h2>When could Madame Web arrive on streaming?</h2>



Well, everything indicates that the film could arrive in no time. According to The Economic Times, the movie will make its streaming debut just 90 days after its theatrical release, so it could be available by early May of this year.

It is still unknown which platform it could join, but everything suggests that the options will be among <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/netflix">Netflix</a>, <a href="https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/2838092/564546/9358" rel="sponsored nofollow">Disney+</a> and <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/fubo">Fubo</a>. Although Sony lacks its own platform, it usually opts for these two streaming giants.



Dakota Johnson, who brings the main female character to life, gave an interview to MeriStation and talked about how she got involved in the project of the first superhero movie of the year, which belongs to its own world. 



There, she confessed: “They sent me the script to read, and I thought it was very clever, realistic, different. But it’s not part of the Spider-Man universe; it’s a new world within Marvel from the perspective of Madame Web”.



<h2>How did the character of Madame Web originate?</h2>



Madame Web, whose real name is Cassandra Webb, made her first appearance in “The Amazing Spider-Man” #210 in 1980. She was created by writer Denny O’Neil and artist John Romita Jr.



Cassandra Webb was blind from birth, and despite her visual impairment, she developed extraordinary psychic abilities. These abilities allowed her to have premonitions and perceptions beyond normal human senses. Eventually, she adopted the alias Madame Web and became a key figure in the Spider-Man universe.

</div></figure>



Her connection with the arachnid hero was established when Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, saved her from an attack. In gratitude, Madame Web became a mentor and advisor to him, providing guidance in critical moments and helping him understand his destiny as a hero.



Throughout Spider-Man’s stories, Webb has had various incarnations and has been portrayed by different characters. She has played a significant role in cosmic events and has been a spiritual guide for several characters within the Marvel universe. Her story and origin have undergone various revisions and reinterpretations over the decades.

The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/action">action</a> film, starring <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-cruise">Tom Cruise</a> as Ethan Hunt, has dethroned ‘Transformers: Rise of Beasts,’ which had held the position in the past few weeks.



‘Dead Reckoning,’ the seventh installment of the franchise, hit the platform almost nine months after its theatrical release in July last year. Despite grossing over $567.5 million worldwide, the film was a financial disappointment due to its reported budget of $219 million (after an insurance payout due to the COVID-19 delays).


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240113#SPEN#1646"></div>


Part of the explanation for the “low” box office was that the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/films">film</a> was released in the middle of ‘Barbenheimer’ craze, as well as the Hollywood labor strikes. However, the studio is already thinking about the next installment, which has now been renamed (it was supposed to be titled ‘Dead Reckoning Part II’).



<h2>Mission: Impossible against AI</h2>



The film follows IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (played by Cruise) and his team as they try to stop a huge threat from a dangerous new weapon, a high-tech Artificial Intelligence (AI) system called the “Entity.” So, it was kind of ironic that while the writers and actors were fighting for AI protections against studios, the film failed to meet its big expectations at the box office.



Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the movie also features Cruise’s most show-stopping stunts, such as the highly publicized motorcycle dive and parachute jump off a Norwegian clifftop. The film was also considered one of the best installments in the franchise.



<h2>‘Dead Reckoning’ cast: Who is in the film?</h2>



Among the familiar faces that return to the franchise are Simon Pegg as Benji, Ving Rhames as Luther, Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust and Vanessa Kirby as The White Widow. However, there are also new characters.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240212#SPEN#5671"></div>


Hayley Atwell joins the cast as Grace, a thief who becomes Hunt’s new ally. Meanwhile, Esai Morales appears as Gabriel, the new antagonist. Other cast members are: Henry Czerny as Kittridge, Pom Klementieff as Paris, Cary Elwes, Greg Tarzan Davis, Shea Whigham, and Mariela Garriga.



All ‘Mission: Impossible’ movies are available to stream on Paramount+ and Prime Video.

‘The Visit,’ starring Olivida DeJonge, is the most watched <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movie</a> on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/max">Max</a> in the United States this week (as for Jan. 11th), according to FlixPatrol. The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/horror">horror</a> film, write, co-produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, has surpassed the crime thriller ‘Seven,’ which is now second.



Apart from DeJonge, the movie stars Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan, Peter McRobbie, and Kathryn Hahn. The story centers around Becca (DeJonge) and her younger brother Tyler (Oxenbould) who go to stay with their estranged grandparents, but they notice something’s off about them. 



The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/films">film</a> was originally released in 2015, and it was a total success, commercially and critically. ‘The Visit’ grossed $98.5 million worldwide against a $5 million production budget, apart from enchanting critics.



<h2>‘The Visit’ is the modern-day Hansel and Gretel</h2>



The film was praised for combining comedic elements with the horror and suspense. Scott Mendelson of Forbes, for example, said that it captured the essence of Shyamalan’s earlier acclaimed works, especially due to its characters and the standout performances.



Meanwhile, the movie was also compared to a fairy tale, specifically ‘Hansel and Gretel.’ In another positive review, Manohla Dargis (The New York Times) said that the story worked due to its simplicity and timeless themes, such as children facing danger.

</div></figure>



In general, the movie was received as one of the best Shyamalan’s movies in recent years. Through “The Visit,” he recaptured the magic of his earlier hits (such as The Sixth Sense or Unbreakable) thanks to his unique blend of suspense and humor. 



<h2>‘The Visit’ plays with the fear of getting old</h2>



In an interview with Geeks of Doom, Shyamalan said that when he wrote the script of The Visit he was thinking about the “fear of getting old, which is a variation of our fear of dying,” and that he wanted to play “on that is a powerful conceit.”



The director, who is known for his shocking plot twists, also said that in order to pull those off, the filmmaker “have to have confidence to make them think that the shape is ‘this’ and then morph into another one.”

“I don’t think we expected it to be the most-watched show in the UK that year, and when there’s so much appetite, it seemed right to give people more”. So now we can expect even more action, as Eliott plunged headlong into chaos.

‘El Señor de los Cielos’ will return with its ninth season on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. The <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/series">series</a>, starring Rafael Amaya as Aurelio Casillas, will premiere on Telemundo at 10 PM. However, you can also live stream it on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/fubo">Fub</a>o (which offers a seven-day free trial in the US). It will be available on demand on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/peacock">Peacock</a> the following day.



According to the first teaser, in the ninth season, Aurelio Casillas will unleash his inner beast. He’s back, ready to do whatever it takes to avenge his family. After the arrest of his son, Ismael, the drug lord will unleash a brutal wave of violence across the country, but he will have to face new enemies.



The ninth season, which was announced back in May 2023, will also feature the participation of Itatí Cantoral, Arturo Peniche, Julio Bracho, and even Aleida Núñez, in the role of Nina “La Monarca.” Here’s what we know about the new episodes.



<h2>‘El Señor de los Cielos’ goes back to its roots</h2>



The telenovela, inspired by the real life Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the former leader of the Juarez Cartel, is one of Telemundo’s most successful programs of all time. And the network knows exactly why.



“As the saga continues, fans will be excited to experience what they have been asking for – a return to Aurelio’s raw and ruthless nature that made ‘El Señor’ a hit in Spanish-language television,” said Ronald Day, President of Entertainment and Content Strategy at Telemundo, according to HOLA! Américas.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The catalyst for Aurelio’s rage is the arrest of his son Ismael (Iván Arana), which will make him start a brutal onslaught of violence across the country. Amaya told HOLA! Américas that he “realized that there was a need to return with a more aggressive character, more overwhelmed at times, more raw.”



<h2>El Señor de los Cielos Season 9: Who is in the cast?</h2>



As we said, Itatí Cantoral will join the cast as Belen, a fearless villain determined to destroy Aurelio Casillas. Meanwhile, Arturo Peniche has a guest appearance on the series. Familiar faces such as Carmen Aub and Ivan Arana, as Aurelio’s family members Rutila and Ismael Casillas; Isabella Castillo as Diana Ahumada; Africa Zavala as Mecha de la Cruz, and Robinson Diaz as Milton Jimenez will come back.

‘Tokyo Vice,’ the neo-noir crime <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/category/series">series</a> starring Ansel Elgort, is currently the third most-watched series on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/max">Max</a> worldwide this week, according to the specialized website FlixPatrol. It’s only behind ‘True Detective: Night Counrty,’ which is first. The series just premiered its second season on Feb. 8th, and it’s set to keep captivating audiences. 



The series was created by playwright J.T. Rogers (Oslo), who also writes and executive produces. The story follows Jake Adelstein (Elgort), an American journalist working for Tokyo’s top newspaper who gets deeply entangled in the city’s criminal underworld.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240208#SPEN#5080"></div>


The rest of the main cast consists of Ken Watanabe, Rachel Keller, Hideaki Itō, Ella Rumpf, Rinko Kikuchi, Miki Maya, and Yōsuke Kubozuka. Here’s all you need to know about this <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/action">action</a> show, which has received positive reviews due to its realistic portrayal of Japan’s criminal world.



<h2>Tokyo Vice: Is the series based on a true story?</h2>



The series is based on the 2009 memoir of the same title by Jake Adelstein. So, yes, it is based on his real-life experience as a crime writer in Japan, especially as the first non-Japanese reporter working for one of the country’s largest newspapers, Yomiuri Shimbun.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



In an interview with Forbes, Elgort said that Season 2 of the show will “get even deeper” in depicting Japan’s underbelly. “You start to see deeper into really what’s behind-the-scenes. As Jake is learning these things and investigating these things, the audience will also have a chance to start to peel back the layers and see really deep into how everything is working,” he explained.



<h2>Tokyo Vice Season 2: Episodes and release schedule</h2>



As we said, the first episode of the second season premiered on Feb. 8th, releasing its first two episodes. The season will have a total of ten episodes, and the rest will be released weekly every Thursday on Max. The series is a Max original, so it’s only available on the platform. The full schedule is: 



Episode 1 – Feb. 8 Episode 2 – Feb. 8 Episode 3 – Feb. 15 Episode 4 – Feb. 22 Episode 5 – Feb. 29 Episode 6 – March 7 Episode 7 – March 14 Episode 8 – March 21 Episode 9 – March 28 Episode 10 – April 4



<h2>Is the series really filmed in Tokyo?</h2>



Yes, the series films in the city. However, in an interview with Forbes, Alan Poul, executive producer and director, said that “Tokyo is still the most difficult major metropolis in the world to shoot in because there just aren’t the kinds of governmental organs that are designed to facilitate filmmaking, and we really banged our heads against the wall a lot in season one.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240208#SPEN#5026"></div>


But, he also explained that after the success of the first season, the crew was received differently. He said: “We came back with a whole newfound level of respect from the police, from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, so that we were able to break barriers and shoot in locations nobody had shot in and shoot action sequences on the street. The groundwork we did in season one enabled us to accomplish that.”



Tokyo Vice Season 1 and 2 is streaming on Max.

David Fincher’s classic crime <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/topic/thriller">thriller</a> ‘Seven,’ starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, is currently the most-watched film on <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/max">Max</a> in the United States, according to specialized website FlixPatrol.



The film, which was released in 1995, is regarded as one of the director’s best movies, as well as one of the most haunting psychological thriller films of all time. Apart from Pitt and Freeman, the movie stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, and John C. McGinley.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240207#SPEN#4882"></div>


Set in an unnamed city, the <a href="https://spoiler.bolavip.com/en/movies">movie</a> follows two detectives as they investigate a series of gruesome murders that correspond to the seven deadly sins. While ‘Seven’ is now considered a classic, the consensus at the time of its release was radically different.



<h2>‘Seven’: From mixed revies to a classic </h2>



Known for its atmospheric neo-noir cinematography and the shocking final plot twist, “Seven” has gained a reputation for being a chilling exploration of morality and human nature. However, at the time of its release, critics were divided about its merits.



At the time, critics praised Freeman’s acting, saying that it gave depth to a “cliché” role, as well as Fincher’s direction. However, they were fairly divided about Pitt’s performance, as well as the violent content of the movie, the dark cinematography and the ending of Andrew Kevin Walker’s script.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



Nevertheless, the film not only earned a nod for Best Film Editing at the 68th Oscars and was a commercial success, grossing almost $330 million globally against a modest budget of $34 million. It also revitalized Fincher’s career, as well as giving Pitt’s more credibility to serious roles.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="SPEN#20240207#SPEN#4905"></div>


Seven has inspired many filmmakers through the years, not only for its aesthetic but also the story structure. Some films that were influenced by it include: The Bone Collector (1999), Along Came a Spider (2001), and the Saw series (2003), as well as The Batman (2022).

The production strives to authentically portray the life of soldiers in a tank during World War II, depicting claustrophobia, fear, and camaraderie amid conflict. It offers a raw and realistic look that has captivated viewers on the streaming giant in recent days.



<h2>Who makes up the cast of Fury?</h2>



The war thriller and drama received positive reviews for its intensity, realistic portrayal of war, and, of course, its performances. Brad Pitt, who leads the cast as Don Collier, was nominated for a Critics Choice Award in the category of Best Actor in an Action Movie.



The 60-year-old star was joined by several top-notch actors and icons of the entertainment industry. Shia LaBeouf portrayed Boyd Swan, while Logan Lerman played Norman Ellison, Michael Peña portrayed Trini Garcia and Jon Bernthal played Grady Travis.



Each of them played a key character in the plot, all being soldiers of the Fury team. Jim Parrack, Xavier Samuel, Brad William Henke, Jason Isaacs, Kevin Vance, Alicia von Rittberg and Scott Eastwood also appeared in supporting roles.



<h2>David Ayer talked about what it was like to work with Brad Pitt and more</h2>



Working with major stars is not always an easy task for directors, quite the opposite. However, this was not the case for David Ayer, as he stated in an interview with Oregon Live that he truly enjoyed working with Brad Pitt on such an emotional and somber project like Fury.



During the conversation with the site, he was asked about the role the actor had to embody and if he feared that Pitt might stray from the darker aspects of his character. He responded:



“He sought immersion and truth. I think Brad was drawn to the leadership role, playing this wise and grizzled guy, this survivor. And he’s not just a survivor: he has to keep these other people alive and, at the same time, ask them to do things that put their lives at risk. I think he was drawn to the paradox of that“.

Additionally, the filmmaker was also asked about the film’s objective, which was to make it as historically accurate as possible regarding World War II tank combat, and whether he needed assistance from any experts. He commented:



“The way we worked was that we got Signal Corps photos, real photos from the era, and did our best to duplicate what we saw. There are mistakes in the movie, I promise. But we did our best because I’m also a history buff, and I understand how silly mistakes can take you out of the movie. We printed our own German camouflage scanned from actual German uniforms. In the film, we have the only operational Tiger tank in the world, which is a novelty“.
