It's beginning to look a lot like ch-aos. Ben Stiller stars in "Nutcrackers," premiering November 29 on Hulu.

This true crime docuseries examines the murder of Annie Mae Aquash - a Mi'kmaq woman from Nova Scotia, Canada, a mother of two daughters, a teacher, and a revolutionary who fought for Indigenous rights in the 1970s and whose death went unsolved for almost 30 years.

Málo policistů, nízké platy a zbytečné úkony, které by neměli dělat. Policisté jsou dlouhodobě nespokojení s poměry v bezpečnostním sboru. Proto poslední týden protestují, méně závažné přestupky místo pokut řeší domluvou, při níž občanům vysvětlují problémy, se kterými se potýkají. Ministr vnitra Vít Rakušan (STAN) by měl s odborovými organizacemi o řešení jednat příští týden, nejen o platech, ale i zřízení pracovní skupiny.

Před 55 lety zveřejnila nezávislá tisková agentura Dispatch News Service reportáž o vyšetřování incidentu v jihovietnamském městě My Lai. Díky práci reportéra Seymoura Hershe se celý svět dozvěděl o zločinu jednotek US Army, které pod vedením poručíka Williama L. Calleyho zavraždily během průzkumné akce stovky civilních obyvatel. Reportáž znamenala obrat ve vedení vietnamské války, v jejím vnímání americkou i světovou veřejností. Hersh se tak zařadil mezi elitní novináře, jejichž práce změnila světové dějiny.

City Hall [US, Frederick Wiseman, 4] The latest of Wiseman’s distinctive epic-length observational documentaries studies the quotidian, procedural and human moments of human life as seen through the processes of municipal government in Boston, as held together by the thoughtful charisma of Mayor Martin Walsh. Improbably absorbing as always, this institutional cross-section offers a beguiling vision of an oasis of good government in the USA.

In a normal year I’d wait for the four and a half hour Wiseman documentary to arrive on television rather than taking up two time slots to watch it from the confines of a cinema seat at TIFF. But this is not such a year and with a digital screening you get a pause button when you need it. This is bound for PBS and due to the breadth of its subject matter will serve as an excellent introduction to those unfamiliar with this pillar of the documentary form. Or track down 2017’s Ex Libris, about the New York Public Library. In North America Wiseman’s filmography can be found on the Kanopy platform, which you may be able to access through your public library system.

The Father [UK, Florian Zeller, 4] Retired engineer (Anthony Hopkins) struggles to piece together the confusing reality of his living circumstances as his daughter (Olivia Colman) copes with his progressing dementia. Impeccably performed stage play adaptation puts the viewer inside the contradictory shifts of the protagonist’s subjective viewpoint.

Forget Draculas and Cthulhus. This is the real terror.

Summer of 85 [France, Francois Ozon, 4] Love between two young men in a French beach town leads to a bizarre crime. Teen emotions run high in a sunlit melodrama of Eros and Thanatos.

Below are two lists of nominations for Japanese buzzword of the year.  Each has 30 entries, and from each list one will be chosen as the respective winner.  Since the two lists are already quite long and rich, I will keep my own comments (mostly at the bottom and focusing on phoneticization) to a minimum.

RO54 is a split-level modern home perched on a Bel-Air hilltop. But this is not what your mind probably conjures when you think of a split-level home. RO54 by Arshia Architects is a dreamy façade of floating glass with view of the Pacific Ocean, designed in layers to allow a gradual ascent to the top of the roof with little effort.[...]

Lots of people want to have more sustainable homes, not just to help the environment. Because at the end of the day, it's a lot more affordable to get your energy from the sun and the wind than to pay some oil or coal plant to provide it. But for many people, being sustainable means having a home built. Hiring an architect and a contractor and going to all that trouble gets pretty expensive. Thanks to Clayton, sustainable living is about to get much more accessible.[...]
