Looking for pulse-pounding thriller? Then watch NIGHT HUNTER, now available on Digital, On Demand and Blu-ray/ DVD October from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Note: I received product sample for review purpose. Personal views expressed are 100% my own.
I received the Night Hunter Blu-ray and was surprised how much I enjoy the film. At first I thought it would be the basic cop versus villains story-line but Night Hunter offered some great twist that took this film to another level.
So here are 3 Reasons to Watch Night Hunter
Team Dark Duo
The semi team up of Henry Cavill and Ben Kingsley really worked for the story-line. While it wasn't a buddy partnership, the fact that they both wanted to catch the villain made the story-line interesting. While Cavill character detective Marshall was dark, Ben Kingsley as the vigilante judge really caught your attention. You'll be amazed how much you enjoy a dark side of bad cop and badder judge.
Interesting Villain(s)
Usually for these types of films we can figure out who the bad guy is and why he's doing all the bad things. But in Night Hunter, the bad guy is both who you think he is and also is not. And that makes such an amazing twist you won't see coming.
Unexpected Twist and Turns
There's lots of unexpected twists with various characters that make you want to watch Night Hunter till the end. Then again to catch all the clues you didn't see the first time.
SYNOPSIS
When police detective Marshall (Henry Cavill) and local vigilante Cooper (Ben Kingsley) arrest a serial killer targeting women, they discover his game has just begun. The hunt is on as the murderer masterminds a series of deadly attacks from behind bars.
Now in a desperate race against time, Marshall and Cooper fight to stay one step ahead of their suspect’s deadly plan.
Also starring Alexandra Daddario (“True Detective”) and Golden Globe winner** Stanley Tucci, NIGHT HUNTER is an action-packed thriller that will shock you at every turn.
The NIGHT HUNTER Blu-ray includes access to a Digital copy of the film.

Nintendo's "Ring Fit Adventure" is a unique video-game that introduces an all-new way to game and stay physically active.
Ring Fit Adventure includes two new fun Switch accessories that require physical, real-world movements from players. Together using the Ring-Con and Leg Strap, players can jog in place, squat, press and flex to either quest through the game in Adventure mode or play shorter games in Quick Play mode.
Players explore an expansive world, battling enemies along the way using real-life exercises to perform in-game attacks. The Ring-Con and Leg Strap accessories (included with the game) respond to real-world movements, allowing the game to turn them into in-game actions, like jogging in place to move your character through the world using the attached Leg Strap, or squeezing the Ring-Con and turning that strength exercise into powerful attacks.
By playing the game daily, players can regularly work out various parts of their bodies. With additional mini-games and workout routines, Ring Fit Adventure is a fun experience for players of various skill levels and lifestyles.
A closer look at the new experience for Nintendo Switch
Outside of the main adventure, Quick Play mode is a great way to enjoy Ring Fit Adventure in shorter bursts, allowing players to jump in and out of play. This lets everyone enjoy a quick workout in different ways, like taking turns with friends and family attempting the same mini-games to compete for high scores. Mini-games cover a wide range of activities, from breaking boxes with gusts of air triggered by the Ring-Con to shaping pottery by performing squats.
Other modes like Simple and Set offer additional ways to work out.
“Simple” lets players choose exercises they want to work on, and perform them individually. High scores are recorded so everyone can challenge their personal bests.
“Set” provides linked sequences of different exercises designed around a theme or a particular body part. This mode is a great way to target a muscle group the player wants to focus on, like legs, shoulders, lower body or core.
The game even includes a “Silent” mode for people who live in an upstairs apartment or don’t want to make a lot of noise. By activating this mode, jogging-style exercises are swapped out for ones that are a little quieter, allowing players to keep their legs active without a heavy impact on the floor.
Ring Fit Adventure, which includes the game and Ring-Con and Leg Strap accessories, will launch for Nintendo Switch on Oct. 18 at a suggested retail price of $79.99*.

New gameplay details for upcoming title, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout has been unveiled by KOEI TECMO America and GUST Studios.
Aspiring alchemists will find a revamped battle system as they set out on their journey with teenage tomboy Ryza and her mischievous group of friends, along with being able to obtain special new gathering locations to explore and share.
In Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, players can obtain special bottles, which can be combined with other items in the game’s synthesis system to create an abundance of new gathering locations overflowing with raw materials. Depending on which ingredients are used in the synthesis process, the environment can drastically change.
For example: Plant Essence can create a fantastical forest area; while a Bomb can create a dangerous volcanic field overflowing with lava. Once the environment is created, a unique four-character password is attached to the area, which can then be shown off and shared with friends or across social media - enabling other gamers to explore the exact same area.
Inhabiting these breathtaking locations are creatures and enemies Ryza and her friends will need to fight. Using a newly revamped Real-Time Tactical Battle system, battles will now progress even while character actions are being chosen.
Throughout battle, party members will also be able to give Action Orders to other members of their party. If the order is followed, the character which gave it will perform a follow-up attack with a powerful skill – and this ability does not consume any AP; allowing players to use them at will to deliver strong blows to help defeat even the most ruthless of enemies.
To showcase these exciting new gameplay features, KOEI TECMO America released a new trailer, see below.
Atelier Ryza - Promotional Trailer
Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout will launch on October 29, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 System, and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®.

The film stars Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway (Ocean’s 8, The Devil Wears Prada) and Rebel Wilson (Isn’t It Romantic, Pitch Perfect) who show off their electric chemistry playing scam artists from different worlds who join forces to take down the dirty rotten men who have wronged them.
Josephine Chesterfield (Hathaway) is a glamorous, seductive Brit who defrauds gullible wealthy men. Penny (Wilson) amasses wads of cash by ripping off her marks in neighborhood bars. Despite their different methods, both are masters of the art of the fleece so they con the men that have wronged them.

On Sunday, September 15 “El Norte,” the epic, widely acclaimed masterpiece about the dreams of immigrants and the promise of America, will return to more than 200 movie theaters nationwide, in a special one-day-only 35th anniversary presentation from Fathom Events and Lionsgate.
This special presentation will include an exclusive introduction by Nava, whose films include the beloved hit “Selena.” The Fathom Events presentation will also include a brand-new featurette that explores the making of the film and features the film’s stars, Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez and David Villalpando.
The Fathom Events presentation of “El Norte” is the film’s first theatrical release since it debuted in U.S. theaters in early 1984, and will be shown in a newly restored version of the film that Nava produced with the help of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Following this special event, Lionsgate will release “El Norte” on digital formats on September 17.
SYNOPSIS
The film follows the struggle of two siblings, Rosa (Gutierréz) and Enrique (Villalpando) as they flee military violence and terror in their small rural home in Guatemala. They have heard stories of the promise of el Norte, or “the North,” and when their home is massacred by the military, they decide to make the dangerous trek through Mexico and into the United States. Once there, Rosa and Enrique discover that their arduous journey is far from over, and that the dangers they face as immigrants are different, but no less life-threatening, than the dangers they thought they left behind.
“El Norte” features a cast filled with noted Hispanic performers, led by Gutiérrez and Villalpando and also including Lupe Ontiveros, Ernesto Gómez Cruz, Enrique Castillo and Tony Plana.
Nominated for an Oscar® for its emotional and compassionate screenplay, written by Nava and Anna Thomas, “El Norte” was named to the U.S. National Film Registry in 1995.
Tickets for “El Norte 35th Anniversary” are available at www.FathomEvents.com and at participating movie theater box offices. All event attendees will also receive a free, two-week trial offer to Pantaya, where they can find the best movies and TV series in Spanish, all in one place.

Tackling the issues of women in a male dominated industry isn't an easy thing. But after attending a screening for Mindy Kaling's LATE NIGHT, I have to say the film does it smoothly with both story telling and great fashion!

The Idea Behind "Late Night" Story-line
Late Night - Featurette: Women in Comedy | Amazon Studios
Much like the character Katherine Newberry in Late Show, actor, writer and producer Mindy Kaling is an entertainment industry pioneer. Now, Mindy has channeled her own career experiences into her first feature screenplay, which takes a behind-the scenes look at the world of television comedy.
As a college intern, Kaling got an up-close-and-personal view of late-night comedy on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.” She decided this male-dominated world would be a natural backdrop for a film, with one important “what if.”
“So much of television, in particular late night, is about exceptionalism,” says Kaling. “Sadly, there hasn’t been a female late-night talk show host on any big network since Joan Rivers’ show in the 1980s, which lasted less than a year. During award seasons I can’t help but notice how few women there are even on any of their staffs. In our story, Katherine was able to rise up through the ranks and become the exception to the rule.”
Choosing Emma Thompson
Kaling imagined a female stand-up whose blazing intellect, unstoppable energy and provocative humor would provide young women interested in comedy with a role model.
As it happens, her own personal hero, Academy Award-winning actress and writer Emma Thompson, began performing as a sketch comedian and quickly segued into what she has called “militant feminist” stand-up comedy. Before becoming a world-renowned dramatic actress, Thompson hosted a comedy-variety television show in the U.K.
Knowing Thompson would be perfect for the role, Kaling tailored it specifically for her.
Like Kaling, Thompson is a writer as well as an actor and is famously the only person ever to receive Oscars for both, winning Best Adapted Screenplay for Sense and Sensibility and Best Actress for Howards End. “Emma Thompson is my favorite living actor,” says Kaling. “She’s one of the rare movie stars who can be hilarious but is also incredible at drama. For this role, she had to do both. I had my agents send it to her and she wrote back saying, ‘We have to make this movie!’”
Emma Thompson as Katherine Newberry
Thompson says, “I was astonished and honored that she had written it with me in mind. The quality of the script is extraordinary".
Thompson believes the film accurately conveys women’s standing in the world of comedy. Pointing to the examples of brilliant comediennes like Victoria Wood, French and Saunders, Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett, Rita Rudner, Tina Fey and more, Thompson says she has trouble understanding why she still hears people says women aren’t funny.
The Fashion of "Late Night"
Costume designer Mitchell Travers and production designer Elizabeth J. Jones agreed on a precise look for Katherine’s wardrobe, one based on the Art Deco details already planned for the set.
“We looked at iconic women in comedy to see what worked for them and arrived at a menswear-inspired silhouette,” Travers recalls. “Emma is someone who loves to come in and get her feet wet in the fitting room, so I gave her a sandbox to play in. We had lots of options for her to try out, and she would throw on a jacket and try a bit in the mirror.
If it worked, we expanded on it. The cool thing about the menswear of that era is all the little elements that could then be incorporated into the sets, the furniture, the drapes, the backgrounds.”
In general, Thompson’s wardrobe is very safe, notes Travers. She is clad in old standards in conservative navy, charcoal and cream. “Then toward the middle of the film, we wanted it to feel like maybe somebody is styling her and bringing her up to date. It starts to get more interesting and we get into greens and reds that would have been foreign to her at the beginning of our film.”
Kaling is a well-known fashionista, and Molly’s wardrobe also evolves over time, going from suburban casual to a much more exciting and glamorous look, says Travers, reflecting the aspiring writer’s growing confidence.
“She starts to feel like she is a woman wielding power in the workplace,” he explains. “Suddenly, she doesn’t have to obey as many rules. Mindy loves clothing and the two of us can talk about it forever. It’s great to work with someone so knowledgeable about designers, the cut of a garment, the fabric. She was really involved, which was a blessing, because we could work in tandem.”
The Message Behind "Late Night"
The themes Late Night explores are timely and important, Apfelbaum continues, but it is also an aspirational comedy. “As viewers we want Molly to succeed, we want Katherine to succeed, even though they’re both very flawed,” she says. “Katherine learns so much from Molly about being open and trusting her instincts. Molly learns about skill and hard work and earning your spot at the table from Katherine. They really do need each other in this very interesting way.”
Late Night also has a serious message about the importance of women supporting each other, Ganatra adds. “We can be our own worst enemies and hold each other back more than any man,”says the director. “Or we can be our biggest champions. The problem with being a groundbreaker is that the ground is really hard! The whole point is making it easier for the next person and the next generation.”
SYNOPSIS
Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is a pioneer and legendary host on the late-night talk-show circuit. When she’s accused of being a “woman who hates women,” she puts affirmative action on the to-do list, and—presto!—Molly (Mindy Kaling) is hired as the one woman in Katherine’s all-male writers’ room.
But Molly might be too little too late, as the formidable Katherine also faces the reality of low ratings and a network that wants to replace her. Molly, wanting to prove she’s not simply a diversity hire who’s disrupting the comfort of the brotherhood, is determined to help Katherine by revitalizing her show and career—and possibly effect even bigger change at the same time.
