This doc premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and is next play at the Telluride Film Festival before opening in theaters (Denver first, of course) this fall. ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! tells the story of the beloved Denver, Colorado restaurant known as Casa Bonita, a huge place with a waterfall, cliff divers, hidden caves, and tons of tasty tacos and sopaipilla (I went many times as a kid because I grew up in Colorado and my parents took my brother and I). ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! tracks the rise, fall and revival of the beloved Colorado landmark Casa Bonita by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who bought the place after it nearly went bankrupt.

‘Reagan’ – A Cinematic Tribute Long Overdue

New Trailer for Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon: The Director’s Cut’ on Apple

"When I move, the world moves forward." Apple has announced that a brand new official "Director's Cut" version of Ridley Scott's Napoleon is now available to watch on Apple TV+. Anyone planing to dive in? The original theatrical cut of Napoleon opened in theaters last year, right before Thanksgiving in November, playing in theaters worldwide before it ended up streaming. It earned mostly negative reviews and a lower-than-expected box office because it wasn't that great. Napoleon is an original & personal look at Napoleon Bonaparte's origins. Along with his swift and ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. As she says: "You want to be great.

Ridley Scott's Napoleon: The Director's Cut features 48 minutes of new, never-before-seen footage from the Academy Award-nominated historical action epic. There's a new trailer out (view it ...
