‘The Next 365 Days’ Review: For Masochists Only – and Not the Sexy Kind
Click here to read the full article. In a shocking abrogation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — at least as it pertains to film critics — a mere 114 days has elapsed between Barbara Białowas and Tomasz Mandes ’ two sequels to their 2020 Netflix -busting softcore phenom, “365 Days.” So just a few scant months after “365 Days: This Day” left us in a swirl of Steadicam and a hail of bullets, here’s “ The Next 365 Days ,” plunging the series’ fans, and its contractually obliged observers, back into the lightly kink-dusted erotic adventures of Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) and Massimo (Michele Morrone), the streaming era’s favorite oversexed, underclad rape-apologist couple. What a time to be alive. In truth, the shortness of that window is a blessing, given the third film optimistically expects us to remember what happened in the second — beyond there being an evil twin, a blisteringly attractive gardener called Nacho (Simone Sussina) and a comical climactic … [Read more...] about ‘The Next 365 Days’ Review: For Masochists Only – and Not the Sexy Kind

(CNN) On May 9 -- known as Victory Day in Russia -- President Vladimir Putin will need to make a bombastic and very public display to suggest he is winning the war in Ukraine. But more than two months in, the war is going far from how Russia originally envisaged. May 9, then, might present Putin the occasion to declare a symbolic "victory" over Ukraine -- a great demonstration of patriotic ecstasy aimed at shoring up his manipulated, sanction-weary audience. The date marks the day Nazi Germany surrendered to Soviet forces (the day after its capitulation to the Western allies, which is why the UK, US and their allies commemorate victory on May 8). … [Read more...] about Opinion: Expect Putin to make a big announcement on May 9

That was why they were shocked when they learned that Dennis Sabangan, former photographer of the Inquirer, died Monday morning. Sabangan, accompanied by a nephew, was driving on Katipunan Avenue, coming from his home in Barangay UP Campus, to meet a friend in Makati City when he had a heart attack.
