Showcase

When art is displayed in public places, the reaction it gets is always varied. Some people will love and embrace it, while others will demand it be taken down. But when it comes to anonymous street art, the reactions can be not just emotional, but they can also trigger a political response.

Despite being inspired by the famed James Bond action movies, 'The Spy Who Dumped Me' is an espionage film with plenty of laughter on the side. Actor Mila Kunis and SNL star Kate McKinnon play two women who take on an undercover mission. The cast and crew premiered the film and teased the audience with the possibility of a sequel.

Will and Grace, Roseanne, Dynasty and Last Man Standing. All went off the air, only to return. And with a whole new slate of remakes and reboots recently announced, it could be argued that television is on repeat. But is it fair to suggest that TV has run out of ideas, or are remakes the perfect chance to do things differently, a second time around?

To answer that and more, Showcase is joined from London by actor Adam Lannon.

One of the most bankable forms of filmmaking is animation. Cartoons often break records at the box office and go on to become multi-million dollar franchises. And while the medium has largely been monopolized by Disney and Dreamworks, another studio known for its adult movie-fare is aiming to break the mould. Here's our spotlight on Columbia Pictures' 'Hotel Transylvania' series, which follow things that go bump in the night.

Yuki Tatsumi was cleaning tables in a restaurant in Kyoto, Japan when he found a used chopstick wrapper transformed into origami by one of the customers. This led him to go on a quest to collect these artworks from all over Japan and eventually display thousands of them in an exhibition called 'Japanese Tips'. We bring you his story.

Born 90 years ago, director Stanley Kubrick was considered ahead of his time with his often controversial filmmaking style. Fans, film scholars and industry workers all agree on the New York native to be one of the most innovative and influential directors in cinematic history.

Well, when we think of Stanley Kubrick we think of creativity, innovation and intelligence. To help us further explore this ground breaking and game changing film maker, we speak to writer James Naremore. Naremore is the author of a book titled 'On Kubrick' which is a critical study of Stanley Kubrick's career.
