Kailash ‘Kc’ Suri, founder of the independent cinema chain Reel Cinemas, has died aged 68.
Suri’s family has confirmed he passed away peacefully on March 31 after an extended period of living with cancer.
He was born in India, where he qualified as a engineer, and arrived in the UK in 1981. His first job was picking strawberries on a farm, with an entrepreneurial streak that saw him move into the business of residential and commercial property. In 2001, Reel Cinemas was established through his acquisition of the then Curzon Loughborough.

Jalsa (Amazon Prime Video)
Starring Vidya Balan, Shefali Shah, Vidhatri Bandi
Directed by Suresh Triveni
When you have two powerhouse actresses piloting a plot that leans toward a treatise on class-difference in a language that we’ve seen in Bong Joon-Ho’s overrated Parasite, you know you are in for something out of the ordinary.
Jalsa is a special film. It is more layered, provocative and evocative then the outer skin of the product would suggest. There is much going on beneath the surface than outwardly visibly. And how intellectually equipped are the two female heroes Shefali Shah and Vidya Balan to address the rush-hour traffic that the plot’s emotional velocity thrusts on them!
Balan and Shah are the kind of actors who always let us know the storms that hide their characters’ calm. I see Balan’s Maya Menon as much more messed up than she wants the world to see.

Filmmaker and environmental activist Cyril Dion is planning a follow-up documentary to his Cannes-selected documentary “Animal” as well as his first fiction feature film, adapted from Pierre Ducrozet’s eco-themed novel, “Le Grand Vertige.”
Dion first rose to international prominence with his 2015 environmental documentary “Tomorrow,” in which he and co-director Mélanie Laurent highlighted important initiatives underway around the planet. The pic garnered more than a million admissions in France and won a César for Best Documentary Film in 2016.
His 2021 documentary “Animal,” produced by Capa Studio and Bright Bright Bright and distributed by Orange Cinema and Ugc, premiered in Cannes.
It follows two 16-year-old environmentalists, Bella Lack and Vipulan Puvaneswaran, who travel the world and meet experts such as Jane Goodall.
Five core causes of mass extinction are shown: habitat loss, overexploitation of species, climate change, pollution and invasive species.
The pic focuses on how to reverse this ecological crisis, which...

The Cannes Film Festival has added seven films addressing environmental concerns to its 2021 line-up.
“La Croisade” by actor-director Louis Garrel, stars himself, Laetitia Casta and Joseph Engel. It was co-written by legendary screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière who died last year. The festival describes the film as: “A fiction in which the children take the reins to protect the planet. A tale of anticipation equally urgent, funny and charming. A story about the alienation of adults from the concerns of children who want to save themselves.”
In “Marcher sur l’eau”, filmed in a village in Niger, director Aïssa Maïga follows a little girl who, while waiting for a well to be built, must travel several kilometres for water every day. The film also explores the question of whether access to water co-relates with access to education for girls in Sub-Saharan African countries.

A fun little video clip has surfaced featuring Deadpool and Hugh Jackman hanging out in bed together. In the clip, Jackman is wishing someone a happy birthday and as he does this Deadpool is singing the classic song "Tomorrow" from the Broadway musical Annie. As you'd imagine, it's kind of annoying Jackman.
This was shot during a little promotional video that they shot for CinemaCon that screened during the Fox presentation. It was actually pretty damn hilarious as they used it as a way to crack jokes on the whole Disney buying Fox thing. You can actually see the Mickey Mouse ears in the background of this video. And what you don't see here is that there's a guy dressed up as Pluto the Dog who gets up from the other side of the bed after what looked to be one hell of a wild night.
Anyway, enjoy the video,...
