Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman document the talented performer's years-in-the-making marathon project; Mel Gibson's lucky he's only in a few scenes of weak 'Confidential Informant.'
co-wrote and co-stars in the family-friendly hip-hop musical “World’s Best,” a simple but sweet story about a kid defying expectations and fighting to be heard. Manny Magnus plays Prem Patel, a junior high math whiz who lives with his loving but demanding mother Priya , who has been widowed since Prem’s father Suresh died almost a decade ago.
Ambudkar and his co-writer Jamie King hew too close to teen underdog movie clichés, with Prem dealing with obnoxious bullies and intense social embarrassment while trying to find the courage to rap in public. But director Roshan Sethi gives the musical interludes some visual pop; and the songs are genuinely hooky. Ambudkar also brings a lot of warmth and feeling to the script and to his performance.
‘World’s Best.’ PG, for thematic elements and some language. 1 hour, 42 minutes. Available on Disney+.The cop drama “Confidential Informant” is one of those plugger genre pictures that puts a big star on its poster — Mel Gibson, in this case — although the actor only appears in a handful of scenes. Some B-pictures make that shoestring approach work.
‘Confidential Informant.’ R, for language throughout, drug use, some violence and graphic nudity. 1 hour, 28 minutes. Available on VOD, a polymath Italian artist and intellectual whose work boldly engaged with religious faith, sexual desire and the enduring lessons of classical literature. The Criterion box set adds new and vintage documentaries as well as commentary tracks and interviews, all meant to contextualize an oeuvre as challenging as it is influential.
