The Great Gatsby from Woody Allen ???

Movie Review: Cafe Society **1/2

"Life is a comedy," says Bobby, "but it is written by a sadistic comedy writer.¨ Or is it all about youthful illusions? I take it

In search of an exciting career, young Bobby Dorfman leaves New York in search of the glitz and glamour of the Hollywood of the 1930s. After getting a job with his uncle, Bobby falls in love with Vonnie, a charming secretary who is his boss's lover. They get involved, but she chooses her boss. Conforming to friendship, but with a broken heart, Bobby returns to the Bronx and starts working in a nightclub. Everything fits together when he finds romance with a beautiful socialite.

Bobby and Vonnie

Woody Allen himself does the off-screen narration with his sub-par epigrams.  The gangster scenes in New York look like those in his other film, Bullets Over Broadway, from 1994. Kisten stwert looks beautiful and sexy. The character Bobby is unconvincing if compared to the success he acquires in the unfolding of the filman has a specific talent or artistic vocation, which makes the thread very unlikely to sustain itself. The Jewish family is cliche but ends up with a sentenced electric chair converted to Christianity.

The Socialite

 Allen's soundtrack is always great jazz and at the beginning of the film I thought I was watching The Great Gatsby. I expected more from the movie, the beginning really looks promising, Maybe it's true that Woody Allen always makes the same movie, but I still carry the illusion that he will give us an extra toast. it wasn't here this time.  It's the consolation for what comes instead of love and what survives love.

Bobby, the main male character was neither built nor explained : the film does not offer specific details about his work or his ideas

STARDUST, the new movie about David Bowie

The Bowie estate has not licensed a single musical track, nor has the family given their approval to the narrative

The feature film premieres on November 6 at the Raindance Film Festival in London, England, with the presence of the film's director, Gabriel Range, and arrives in cinemas and on VOD (video on demand) on November 25.

Stardust is focused on Bowie's first trip to the United States in 1971, which inspired the creation of one of his most famous alter egos, Ziggy Stardust.

According to the NME last year, David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, who is not allowed to play any of his father's music because it is a film.

Set in 1971, the feature film will showcase Bowie's life before he became one of the most authentic artists in the history of music, when he made his first trip to the United States to begin his career and created his famous alter-ego, Ziggy Stardust.

Pfizer hopes to become the first US pharmacist to announce successful data from advanced vaccine testing for Covid-19

Currently, there are 12 vaccines in large-scale, advanced-stage clinical trials around the world, including those of the US companies Novavax, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna Therapeutics and Pfizer

Pfizer hopes to become the first US pharmacist to announce successful data from advanced vaccine testing for Covid-19, ahead of its Modern rival. Pfizer and BioNTech launched their Phase 3 trials with 44,000 volunteers in late July. 

The independent committee is expected to make its first review of vaccine performance after 32 clinical trial participants are infected with the coronavirus.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said the company could release data on whether or not the vaccine works by this month, but the company said in a presentation that the independent data monitoring committee, which will determine whether or not the tests have been successful, has not yet conducted a preliminary efficacy analysis.

Biden leads the surveys with an average advantage that has never been less than four points

Biden walks steps ahead of Trump

The 2016 vote wrecked in some of the major Midwestern states

"The searches were wrong last time and are even more wrong this time," Trump insists.

Democrat Joe Biden is ahead of Donald Trump by nine percentage points across the country, according to the average RealClearPolitics poll.

However, a candidate can get to the White House without having the most votes, but should be a winner in the states with the most weight in the Electoral College, as Donald Trump did for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Protests in Philadelphia: looting is not protesting, it's a crime

In Philadelphia, police shot ( why is it?! ) a black man with a gun and now protests and a wave of violence are appearing

In Philadelphia, the last night was one of violent protests after another black man was killed by police. The police were called because of a man armed with a knife in the street. The two policemen asked the man to put the knife down, which did not happen and they ended up firing ten shots which caused the death of 27 year old Walter Wallace.

Witnesses assured that the man did not represent an imminent threat.

The moment was recorded on video and published on social networks, which generated a new wave of protests against racism and police violence in the United States.

The clashes resulted in dozens of injured policemen and 90 arrests.
