Welp, I'm winding down the workday and winding up the movie night.

About to start Pompei (2014), directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, with a starry cast including Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss, Emily Browning, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica Lucas, with Jared Harris and Kiefer Sutherland.

Second up is The ASsassin (2015), directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, starring Shu Qi and Chang Chen. This one I'm particularly looking forward to.

Lastly, Never Apologize (2007), directed by Mike Caplan, a doc of Malcolm McDowell's one man show, talking about his friend and collaborator, the director Lindsay Anderson. Looks like a blast. (Edit: It is, was.)

Today, March 14, in 2077, drone repair technician Jack Harper wakes up near the end of his five-year mission on Earth. He is one of the few humans on the planet, which was ravaged by nuclear war and natural disaster after the moon was destroyed 60 years earlier (Oblivion, 2013)

Franz Rogowski – „Lux – Krieger des Lichts“ (2017)

Franz Rogowski ist ja längst ein Weltstar, nur haben das in Deutschland noch nicht alle gemerkt. Dabei hätten wir aber eigentlich nur etwas genauer hinschauen müssen, und es wäre uns längst vollkommen klar, dass dieser Mann nicht mehr aufzuhalten ist die ganze Welt zu erobern… (ARD)

Today in Labor History March 14, 1954: Salt of the Earth premiered. The film depicted the 1951 strike of Mexican-American workers at the Empire Zinc mine, in New Mexico. The film was one of the first to portray a feminist political point of view, particularly through Actress Rosaura Revueltas’s role as Esperanza Quintero. When the Company uses the new Taft-Hartley Act (which also bans General Strikes) to impose an injunction preventing the men from picketing, their wives go walk the picket line in their places. LGBTQ and labor activist Will Geer also played in the film. Writer Michael Wilson, director Herbert Biberman and producer Paul Jarrico had all been blacklisted for their alleged communist ties. Only 13 of the 13,000 theaters in the U.S. showed the film.

@ueeu in Germany, there's also filmfriend, which you can login using your public library number. In Berlin, we pay 10 euros per year to have access to the public libraries. We quit Netflix this week and yesterday I was exploring filmfriend. Their selection of films and series is great!
