"This is your golden parachute, sweetie, don't you see?" XYZ Films has debuted an official trailer for Diary of a Spy, described as a "gripping romantic spy thriller" based on a true story. This one is skipping theaters and opening on VOD / digital starting in July this summer. That latest from the celebrated indie writer / director Adam Christian Clark, Diary of a Spy is a uniquely intimate and gripping espionage thriller that's inspired by true, but confidential, events. A washed-up intelligence officer is given the chance for one last mission, recruiting an asset connected to the Saudi Royal Family. But soon realizes she must decide between finishing her mission or finding a way to save herself. Starring Tamara Taylor as Anna, the disgraced spy, and Reece Noi as Camden, her reclusive mark. Also starring Fred Melamed, Madeline Zima, Susan Sullivan, and Jon Lindstrom, with Paulina Leija. This looks quite intriguing.

Yiana Pandelis and Reece Noi (Photo credit: Ben Mezups)
Yiana Pandelis was 14 when she did her first acting workshop at Melbourne’s Active Performance Studios.
Her performance made a lasting impression on one of the attendees, casting director Cinzia Coassin, who was amazed to discover afterwards that Yiana is hearing impaired.
So years later when Coassin received the script for Unsound, she immediately thought of Yiana as ideal for the co-lead Finn, a young woman who is hearing impaired and undergoing the difficult process of transitioning to male.
After reading the script by Ally Burnham, a Nida graduate who received funding from Screen Australia’s Gender Matters Brilliant Stories program, Pandelis did several self-tests and auditioned for a previous director in Melbourne last year.
Development took longer than the producer Tsu Shan Chambers expected, with Screen Australia’s support on the script, and Ian Watson took over as the director.

“Now matter how many times you call her “mhysa,” she is nobody’s mother.”
Being a woman in Westeros is a raw deal. Whether you’re a lowly wildling or a queen you’re going to live under the constant threat of abuse, war, kidnapping, and worse. No matter how high women climb, no matter how hard they fight or how loud they scream, they will always be women in a world that(like our own) treats being female as some kind of unsolvable problem.
Watching those same women flat-out refuse to give up, no matter what shit they have to wade through, occupies most of ‘The House of Black and White.’ From princess Shireen, defiantly optimistic despite a life of abuse and seclusion, teaching the tough-as-nails survivor Gilly to read to Brienne of Tarth deciding with mulish stubbornness that Sansa Stark is getting a bodyguard whether she wants one or not,...

Chicago – It’s difficult to describe “Hit and Miss,” debuting tonight on The Audience Network after the season premiere of “Damages,” exclusively on DirecTV, without it sounding horrendously cliched. Even the title is a pun on the double meaning of the final word. You see, Mia (Chloe Sevigny) is a hit woman, a hired killer. She also happens to be undergoing a male-to-female sexual transition — becoming a “Miss” if you will.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
And as if the concept of a transgendered Irish assassin doesn’t sound bizarre enough, the show is more about family ties than mob ones. With all of these unusual ingredients, it makes sense to expect a tonally inconsistent disaster. That’s not what you’ll get with this smart program, driven by another great performance from the stunning Sevigny, doing her best work since the incredible turn she gave on the third (and best) season of “Big Love.

Director: Julian Kerridge Writers: Martin Sadofski, Julian Kerridge Starring: Jack McMullen, Reece Noi, Leila Mimmack, Georgia Henshaw, Rita Tushingham, Maggie O'Neill, Andrew Knott Seamonsters tells the story of two shiftless young friends, Sam (Jack McMullen) and Kieran (Reece Noi), who are biding their time during the off-season in the English seaside town of Worthing. Sam and Kieran are stuck in a kind of shiftless limbo. Too old to be kids any more, they drift along without any plans for the future, vaguely aware that they’re expected to be adults. Kieran is skittish and unpredictable, perhaps a little bit crazy. Sam is quiet and sensitive, and tends to back down when challenged. Of course, even lifelong friendships can completely derail when a girl enters the picture. One day the boys meet Lori (Leila Mimmack), a mysterious, dark-eyed girl who’s somehow escaped their notice until now. Lori lives on the fringes with her sad,...

With Leila Mimmack, who starred as Christa in the Being Human spin-off Becoming Human, as Lori and Georgia Henshaw, who'll also be seen later this year in another independent feature In The Dark Half, as Moony.
Seamonsters is adapted from the Royal Court play "Outside Of Heaven" by Martin Sadofski, and directed by London Film School graduate Julian Kerridge, his first feature film after several award-winning shorts.
The film also stars Rita Tushingham, Maggie O'Neill and Andrew Knott.

"My Kingdom" was made two years ago, but with the recent death of its star, Richard Harris, the movie can truthfully bill this as Harris' final performance in a leading role. While clearly unwell, Harris nevertheless delivers the emotional and psychological power to drive such an ambitious project. For writer-director Don Boyd has transposed the story and themes of Shakespeare's "King Lear" into the contemporary Liverpool underworld.
Harris commands the screen, using his frailty to suggest the ravages of a life of corruption and ruthlessness. Always an actor possessing a marvelous technique, Harris changes the register of his voice from whisper to bark to growl. This is a man who forces people to listen to him. Carefully. Then, as things unravel, we sense power oozing from the man. Thanks in some measure to this valedictory performance, My Kingdom" should attract appreciative moviegoers in specialty venues.
The contours of Shakespeare's tragedy aren't perfectly suited to a gangster movie. Crime kingdoms don't crumple this quickly. A viewer cannot understand why a feared crime boss suddenly has no bargaining chips or favors to call in as he struggles with his lethally contentious family. But the emotional truth of the situation never feels wrong.
Boyd, who co-wrote his script with Nick Davies, a journalist familiar with criminal gangs, views the Liverpool underworld as a vicious cesspool of corruption, violence and power grabs. The city, too, becomes a major character. While clearly suffering economic havoc, the place gives off frightening vitality. Even the sun plays tricks with the landscape, sometimes dangerously dark yet with bright light bouncing off distant buildings.
Harris plays Sandeman, an Irish immigrant who has clawed his way to power as a feared crime lord. After attending a concert in Liverpool Cathedral, Sandeman and his wife, Mandy Lynn Redgrave), are mugged by a thief who shoots Mandy dead. A grieving Sandeman orders henchmen to investigate what he is convinced was an assassination attempt by rivals. Unbalanced by the death of his wife, he begins to make bad decisions.
First he tries to turn the family fortune, always kept in his wife's name, over to his youngest daughter, Jo (Emma Catherwood), a former crack addict who since her recovery has become the sanest family member. But she refuses and is emboldened to quit her corrupt family altogether. With his curses still ringing around Jo's head, Sandeman splits the fortune between his remaining two daughters. Kath (Louise Lombard) runs a brothel and is married to Dean (Paul McGann), the head of a sleazy security firm. Tracy (Lorraine Pilkington) owns a soccer team with her sadistic husband Jughinder (Jimi Mistry).
The daughters set in motion plots not only against one another but against the father who never gave them affection. Each wants to get in on the father's latest scheme, a smuggling operation already under way. As their husbands maneuver for their share of the spoils, outsiders make their moves, including a corrupt police detective (Aidan Gillen), a driven customs inspector (Tom Bell) and a rival gang leader (Colin Salmon).
His house literally sold from under him, Sandeman's only companion is Kath's neglected, mixed-race son, Boy (Reece Noi). Boy accompanies his granddad on his mad wanderings through his disintegrating world. Confronted by decades of blindness as to the true nature of his family, Sandeman is horrified at the venom running through everyone's veins. In his final act, he takes revenge against his family, but what a hollow victory that is.
Credits are first-rate, especially Dewald Aukema's cinematography in the rough urban terrain.
