Gunpowder Milkshake Review Karen Gillan Stars In Netflix Actioner

Set in and around a nameless European city — the film was shot mostly in Germany, but there’s something purposely anonymous about the world Sam (Gillan) and her compatriots and antagonizers alike occupy — “Gunpowder Milkshake” opens with the minimum of information we might need to get invested. Sam is a contract killer, she’s very good at her job, and she loves nothing more than a giant, slurpy glass of ice cream and milk after a job well done....

A whopping four other Best Picture contenders — “Promising Young Woman, “Minari,” “Judas the Black Messiah,” and “The Father” — began their life cycles at Sundance, which took place just two months before the March 2020 shutdowns....

How White Filmmaker Craig Brewer Justifies Directing Coming 2 America

Brewer is still riding high from his first Eddie Murphy collaboration — the widely successful “Dolemite Is My Name,” a light-hearted biopic of blaxploitation icon Rudy Ray Moore that garnered the best reviews of the filmmaker’s career while ushering a comeback for Murphy. An ‘80s cinema fanatic, “The Breakfast Club” and “Purple Rain” greatly impacted the Memphis filmmaker, as did John Landis’ 1988 comedy about an African prince from the imagined country of Zamunda traveling to Queens, NY in search of a bride....
