I say it every time; I enjoy talking to this woman, actor/producer Marlene Forte. We recently caught up with her at her wonderful home, where we chatted about the projects she has done, what she’s working on and what is to come in the future.
Forte got some new followers as Celia Flores on AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead. We really liked her character and wish she was back. She continues in her recurring roles on The Fosters and Superstore, and now you can see her on Fox’s APB, as well as on the upcoming Netflix’s Altered Carbon, set in the 25th century.
Other television credits include NCIS: New Orleans, Code Black; and movies like I Am Gangster, The Single Moms Club, Star Trek, and many stage productions.
“I feel like we often neglect one of the most powerful ways that we communicate and we can encourage more communication on a subject. And right now I feel like the way we talk about race in this country is broken. Maybe this will fuck shit up in the wrong way, I dunno. But I do feel like art and communication is like that’s the one tool we have against the true horrors of the world, which is violence. I hope that this is an inclusive experience and I hope that it inspires people to just talk.” — Jordan Peele on writing GET OUT
Watch the Q&A video with Chance the Rapper, Jordan Peele and some of the cast of the film; Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, and Milton “Lil Rel” Howery. They talked about the need of a film like this and their love for the genre.
Synopsis: Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford). At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
Then check out the images from Get Out Art Gallery featuring artwork inspired by Peele’s suspense thriller. Six pieces of striking original artwork, inspired by the film, are being showcased from artists Corey Barksdale, Frank Morrison, Sindisio Nyoni, Jermaine Rogers, Sharlene Artsy, and Taj Tenfold.

Disney celebrated the in-home release of Moana on Blu-ray/DVD on March 7 and the Digital HD is available now. We were there to celebrate too.
We got to sit in on a talk with one of the directors, Ron Clements and producer Osnat Shurer, who shared with us all the extras that will be on the Moana Blu-ray version. That includes a 30-minute documentary called, Voice of the Islands—which is more than the making of the film, it’s about the people and their stories that help make Moana the classic film it’s becoming.
Moana goodies…

The story: On the surface, the young and beautiful Clara Barron (Karla Souza) seems to have everything-a great job as an OB-GYN; a great house in LA; and a big fun-loving Mexican family. But, the one thing Clara doesn’t have figured out is her love life. Pressured by a family wedding in Mexico, Clara asks a co-worker to pose as her boyfriend (Ben O’Toole) for the weekend festivities-only to be caught by surprise when her ex-boyfriend (and family favorite) suddenly shows up after disappearing from her life completely. In an adventure full of laughter, she learns that sometimes it takes the whole crazy family to help you find crazy love.

Gore Verbinski, the director of The Ring, comes a new psychological thriller, A Cure for Wellness. At first, it felt like an old Ingmar Bergman film, and then it took some turns I didn’t care for. I realized this film didn’t do it for me and I was hoping for a true psychological thriller, with that said, I’ve learned that they are films for every audience.

Mayes C. Rubeo is known for her work on Warcraft (2015), World War Z (2013), Avatar (2009), and Apocalypto (2006).
Rubeo, born in Mexico City, Mexico; moved to Los Angeles, attended a technical school; later on she took a few classes at UCLA Extension and some courses in Italy. Following her studies, she managed to get a job as designer Enrico Sabbatini’s personal assistant, a highly important figure in Italy’s movie industry. It was he who trained her, and put her on the right path to personal and professional growth. She started working on independent films, where she learned to create great things with very few resources, she worked as a costume assistant on films like Total Recall and Born on the Fourth of July; then the director John Sayles asked her to do the design of the costumes for a film called Men with Guns. Right after that, other directors started seeking her out, since they’d already seen her work.
For her, “costumes are a distinctive and highly important element of a film.”
Next on her plate is, Thor: Ragnarok, which will be the third film in the saga, starring Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Cate Blanchett, to be released in November 2017.
In the video below, we talked about her resent work on The Great Wall, which opens on February 17.
