the chilean director patricio valladares , who was in charge of downhill , present at last year’s molins horror film festival feature films official selection , will return to the big screen with nightworld , una bulgarian production with robert englund –yes , you are reading it right , the one and only freddy krueguer - amongst its cast .
reviewed at cannes film festival ( director’s fortnight ) , may 14 , 2016 . running time : 128 min . ( original title : “poesía sin fin” )
like many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .
overall , nightworld is far from perfect . the script could have easily benefited from a re - write , and its ending left a lot to be desired . but the film is just as suspenseful as it is frustrating , which should easily justify an hour and a half behind the sofa . the cliffhanger ending does leave things wide open for a much more expansive sequel , but this might be best left at one .
bloody reader mike magnano shared the image and noticed that the cast is listed in the background , which is double confirmed on the film’s imdb page . starring are sophie skelton , marcus vanco , jeff gum ( exeter , the vault ) , lorina kamburova ( nightworld , leatherface death race 4 ) , nick loeb , rachel o’meara , debbie sherman , luke cousins , nathan cooper , and cristina serafini . we have confirmed the cast .

despite the evidently minimal budget of nightworld , valladares displays some impressive visuals which excellently contribute to the disturbing atmosphere of the film . it’s painfully clear that the lions share of the budget has been saved for the narratives conclusion however . in a typical ghost story fashion , viewers shouldn’t expect to see much in the way of answers until the eleventh hour . but the conclusion does manage to deliver some legitimate scares , even if it does begin to resemble a cross between the exorcist and an episode of goosebumps .
a glorious feast for the senses , the latest film from chilean octogenarian and life - long maverick alejandro jodorowsky revisits his coming of age as an aspiring young poet in the bohemian santiago of the 40s and 50s .
“veteran auteur and master of the mexican bizarre , arturo ripstein – an influence on a generation of his country’s directors – plunges us into a mexico city of crime , prostitution and luchador wrestling . ” — film forum
german filmmaker christoph behl remarked to me , “you are evolving , and after the film , you are not the same person as you were before . ” do you perceive there to be a transformative aspect to the creative process ?
ghost stories are an incredibly mixed bag at the best of times . the infamous sub - genre has seemingly been the first port of call for every low budget horror film since the 1970’s . on one hand this makes ghostly thrillers difficult to get enthusiastic about . but on the other hand , it gives them a relatively large amount of flexibility with storytelling . now , fresh - faced film maker patricio valladares has crafted his own supernatural thriller , starring none other than robert englund ( a nightmare on elm street ) .
nightworld tells the story of a former lapd officer , named brett irlam , who starts a new job as the head of security in a mysterious apartment building in sofia . as brett continues to experience horrific nightmares of his late wife , he further investigates the bizarre history of the building to discover the terrifying truth within . while this appears to be a typically cliched plot , the film actually manages to build tension and suspense masterfully . the overall mystery surrounding the building , and what brett is guarding , raises many questions that easily maintain interest in the narrative . although that being said , the answers to these questions overall are far less interesting .
make no mistake : endless poetry is still very much a jodorowsky film , dotted with his trademark phantasmagorical conceits , which are like candified bursts of comic - book magic realism . yet more than any previous jodorowsky opus , it’s also a work of disciplined and touching emotional resonance . ” — owen glieberman , variety
“i believe that all people fear what awaits us after death , ” says chilean filmmaker patricio valadares . “i would like to live a life after death - - reincarnation in the future . ” the genre filmmaker who has built a reputation with 2014’s hidden in the woods ( 2014 ) and last year’s downhill , delves into the afterlife with nightworld ( 2017 ) , whose tagline reads : “the afterlife is darker than you think . ”
having a bit of fun from set is johnathon schaech ( quarantine , prom night ) , who shares the below shot of himself getting a makeup test done for the film , which follows a former medical student tormented by a dark figure from her past , who happens to be a half - human , half - zombie hell - bent on destroying her .
the film follows brett anderson ( jason london ) , a former lapd officer and grieving widower who , haunted by encounters with death and loss , takes a job as head of security at an old apartment building . at first what seems a mundane assignment becomes more perilous as anderson discovers a malevolent force trapped in the bowels of the building that wants its freedom .
i like to place the camera at different angles because i love todd mcfarlane’s comics . he is a master of narrative and storytelling in comic book form , and he’s an important reference for me , and so i will always try to shoot my movies with a lot angles . the space and location is also important in movies like nightworld , and the location to me is another character in the story - - more like a principal star in the flick . when you are creating a paranormal movie , you have a lot of elements in your hand , but location is the big one .
when i’d finished shooting downhill in chile , he invited me to work on the ghosts of garip ( vlad’s legacy , 2016 ) in turkey , and after this he told me that he’d got the budget for shooting nightworld . our idea was to shoot the movie in a very contemplative and in an academy style , like an old italian horror movie . loris and barry keating , who is very talented , all worked on the writing of the final script , which i loved . so i feel that it’s sinister ( 2012 ) meets the ninth gate ( 1999 ) with the style of an old italian horror movie .
speaking with director martin zandvliet for land of mine ( 2016 ) , he said :
what’s most important as a director is you should be present . it’s not just a script that you need to film . you need to always be ready to change things . . .
would you agree , and does instinct play a part in this readiness ? could we describe the process of filmmaking as learning to hone one ' s instincts , so that you can eventually function on instinct ?
well , it has a long history . during my childhood i was a fan of comic books , the colour , the narrative and the violence was so much fun , and after that came movies . when i was 18 years old , i picked up a hi8 video camera and one weekend with a good friend shot a horror short film . i found that i really enjoyed shooting movies and afterward felt that this could be my profession . at this current time , i may love filmmaking more than i love comic books , although maybe it is possible to work with both forms of expression , but i just want to tell stories with a history .

. . . with my previous movie downhill , that screened at frightfest in 2016 , a lot of people were bothered by the fact that i left things in the plot without explaining them .
ahead of the european premiere at horror channel frightfest , valadares discusses with popmatters the inevitable learning process that confronts the filmmaker , one weighed down by mystery and uncertainty . he also talks about the relationship between the filmmaker and genre , frustrations of the demand for explanation , and the transformative nature of the filmmaking process .
filmmakers have remarked to me that filmmaking is a constant learning curve . is it similar to putting together a jigsaw puzzle ?
well in my opinion , it is a different process for each filmmaker , but it’s true that you are constantly learning . it ' s very strange when i now see my old movies because i see only all of the bad things . i’ll ask : “what was wrong with me ? it looks so bad… it looks so stupid . ” but that ' s normal and i never stop learning when shooting a movie . for example , my first movies didn’t have a full script , only 30 pages , and i’d rewrite the movie in the editing room . and we are a long way from making a good movie .
filmmaker alfonso gomez - rejon told me : “the medium and the mystery of the process is that i could wake up one day and not know where to put the camera . not that i know where to put the camera now , but you walk in with a certain sense . ” could we describe the filmmaking or creative process as a void of apprehension and uncertainty ?
yeah , this is very true and i feel these same vibes . i try to work with a storyboard and talk with my cinematographer about the ideas i have of where to put the camera , but shooting there are always different problems with the aesthetics etc . because you need to work continuously to adapt the space . maybe it ' s different on big budget movies like in hollywood , but i don ' t know , and so for me it’s a mystery too .
i agree with zandvliet . a director will be involved in all areas of the production of a movie , from script to marketing . making a movie for me is like having children . they need work every day before they are ready and an audience can watch them . i started making movies in chile with no budget , then with some money from the chilean government and so i know every area of work that goes into shooting a flick - - i was the cinematographer , cameraman , editor , producer , writer and director of my movies . it ' s tiring , but fun , and this school helped me learn the process of filmmaking . after all of this i can now make real movies .
loris curci , the producer , whose story this is first told me about his idea maybe three years ago when he asked me if i could make a teaser poster for the project . we were working together on hidden in the woods , but he was still looking for investment from a production company at that time .
it’s a difficult question for me . i think that for many years filmmakers and artists established the genre , and then a lot of filmmakers have made movies because the genre has influenced their lives . influences in my childhood were music , such as metal , thrash and death metal with all their cover and poster art and lyrics . and of course , there are a lot of genre movies that i picked up on and which inspired and influenced me to try to make genre films .
speaking with british genre filmmaker christopher smith , he remarked :
i think horror has become utterly boring . that’s not to say that the horror genre is tiring to me , but everybody has got to pull their socks up a bit and start to dig a bit deeper . the stuff that is being churned out and that people are turning into blockbusters is mostly utter shit and it’s just about finding a way to move on from that .
what are your own feelings towards the horror genre ?
firstly , i ' m a fan of christopher smith’s work . this question about horror and if it ' s difficult to create something original today - - yes , i feel that ' s true . there are a lot of talented people working in the movies , comics , and music , in this ‘media world’ , and filmmakers need to take time with an idea . i like to shoot , edit and market my movies in a way that is different and original .
by the way , the big problem for me is that the audience likes to see these movies with very fast and simple stories . for example , with my previous movie downhill , that screened at frightfest in 2016 , a lot of people were bothered by the fact that i left things in the plot without explaining them . but why do we have to explain everything ? i love to watch experimental movies and imagine for myself those things that are not in the story .
of course , and i’ve made movies and i can say to you that i’m not the same person that i was before . you’re learning about the creative process , and taking away an experience that will help you to shoot a better movie , and you could be learning about a new culture . i’m a chilean director who shoots movies in the us , turkey , and bulgaria , and that informs you .
it ' s a testament to zevin ' s understanding of multiple age groups that she ' s able to capture a variety of women at various life stages . her portrayals feel honest and true .

alejandro jodorowsky ' s ' endless poetry ' is the most accessible movie he has ever made , and it may also be the best . it ' s felliniesque and moving .
adan jodorowsky , pamela flores , brontis jodorowsky , lenadro taub , alejandro jodorowsky , jeremias herskovits , julia avedano , bastian bodenhofer , carolyn carson , adonis . ( spanish dialogue )
over the extraordinarily diverse course of his career , alejandro jodorowsky has been a director of plays , a writer of comic books , a poet and novelist , a “psychomagic” guru presiding over therapeutic salons , and — oh , yes — the creator of a psychedelic western splatter opera , “el topo , ” that in its scrappy - surreal midnight - cult way transformed the world of movies . jodorowsky’s life has been one long prodigious outpouring ( and he didn’t even get to make his version of “dune” ! ) . but now , well into his eighties , he has managed to reinvent himself in the most spectacular and unlikely way .
for alejandro , poetry is about more than staying up nights reading his idol federico garcía lorca . it’s about the lure of the unknown . at one point , he spurns the advances of his gay cousin , who’s in love with him , but where in the hands of a different filmmaker this might have been a conventional rebuff , jodorowsky gives us a lingering fleshy close - up of the two boys’ one and only experimental kiss . that shot speaks volumes about how alejandro , even though he’s not attracted , still longs to dare , to do the unprecedented , to go where he’s scared to go .

a meek bookkeeper ( stuart erwin ) turns the tables on his boss ( thurston hall ) who denies him a raise .
the boss baby’s redemption can only arrive when he realizes that he would rather be a baby than a boss . when he finally gets that big promotion and realizes how lonely it is at the top , he quits his post . he rejoins the baby masses and goes back through the baby - sorting line , having now learned to love and feel joy over the course of his adventure with timmy . he’s redelivered to timmy’s parents , this time as a cute , normal , gurgling baby .
this is all a game . . . there was always a safety net . . . that ' s what you hired us for .
a former army sniper accused of working as a contract killer said in court papers this week that he had been ensnared in the case by his onetime boss , who , he contends , threatened to kill him if he failed to follow orders .
but aside from this barely veiled cgi re - creation of our commander in chief and the fear and lies he sells , what solutions does the boss baby offer ? the boss baby , a grumpy infant who wears diapers because he’s too busy doing business to make a trip to the bathroom , is fundamentally damaged , we learn . the reason he’s in “upper baby management” instead of just being a normal baby is due to a sorting process during which he fails to giggle adorably when tickled by a feather . he has no real parents , and having been sent straight to work on his first day of life , he missed out on his entire childhood . “i wasn’t born , i was hired , ” he says .
this is a heavy list of demands , written purely for suggestion and because we like the sound of our own voice ( or the sight of our own text , anyway ) . john will have his own ideas to carry eastenders through and it is worth remembering that he is just an interim producer . depending on when the new boss is hired , he might not be at the helm for long at all .
the movie starts off with ben ( robert deniro ) telling us about himself . he’s a seventy - year - old widower living a comfortable life but feels he needs to be more productive . he answers a flyer asking for senior citizens to apply for an internship via a video stating why they should be hired . he gets a call for an interview .
but beyond that , the boss baby is a movie about the imaginary attention economy , first within the family unit ( the boss baby , being a baby , takes all the attention away from timmy ) and then more fantastically in the boss baby’s mission — to sabotage the pet industry . puppies are becoming more and more popular , and babies are no longer the stars in the cuteness industry . the boss baby gathers a cabal of yes - babies and preaches to them about the threat of the encroaching other , visualized by a pie chart with a shrinking baby slice and an expanding puppy slice . ( birds , cats , and fish are given much smaller slivers of the pie . ) “puppies are winning , babies are losing , ” he says ominously to his trembling base .
you know , he is a really , really funny guy . he ' s very sharp , and he ' s very witty . if he likes you , he is warm and funny and charismatic and lovely . and if he doesn ' t like you , just get out of the room . he is not nice to people that he does not like .
the announcement that bruce springsteen is heading to broadway comes as no surprise to his diehard fans , since he’s long favored a look that includes a “fiddler on the roof” vest . and the boss hasn’t exactly kept his political affiliations close to that vest . to that end , despite his announcement that this will be a solo show ( “just me , the guitar , the piano and the words and music” ) , we can’t help imagining that he’s hired some # resist members and broadway veterans to assist with the new show .

no more grasping for political allegory in the latest episode of riverdale — the boss baby has already done all the work for you . this is a film about a little baby , dressed in a baby - sized suit , the seat of whose pants strain to contain his bulbous baby bottom . when the boss baby is ( spoiler alert ) promoted to ceo of his baby company , he’s given a new office , and sits on his new golden toilet at the top of his baby tower , looking out at the world below . when he’s forced to take a photo with the family he’s been “assigned” to , he refuses to smile , saying that it makes him “feel weak . ” his favorite expression is a puckered - lip scowl . at one point the boss baby ( who does not have a name , because his personal and professional identity are indistinguishable ) plays with a toy golf set while his older “brother” timmy works late into the night doing research for him . when timmy asks why he doesn’t help , the boss baby responds , “i’m very busy delegating . ”
expect that your boss is not an idiot . this may or may not be true . he isn ' t the best manager , but he ' s probably not all that dumb . bosses can usually tell when one employee is trying to undermine another . so , even though you ' re carefully making sure you ' re not letting your coworker get away with slander , you can also act as if your boss understands the truth . this is necessary because otherwise you ' ll just frustrate yourself .
donald trump knows what he wants , and he knows how to get it . he does not beat around the bush , and he takes no prisoners . be that as that may , that is who he is and that ' s how he became so successful , and that ' s why i think he ' s doing well in the political realm — he ' s a breath of fresh air in a sort of stale and broken system .
he hired the boss
is a very simple modestly budgeted film . however , it is a lot of fun . hubert ( stuart erwin ) is a very nice man . but he ' s also incredibly meek and lets other folks walk all over him . he also doesn ' t have the nerve to ask the lady he ' s smitten with out on a date . one of his co - workers misuses their friendship but the worst is the boss - - he ' s a despicable old goat . however , despite all this , hubert is due for some big changes in his life . . . and by the time the film is over , life just will never be the same for the guy . how and why is just something you ' ll need to see for yourself . i think the reason i liked the film is that the writing was very clever and erwin ' s character was so very likable . i wasn ' t 100 % thrilled with the ending but i guess you can ' t have everything .
in zurich , a man gets into his car in a parking garage . a second man ( the assassin ) quickly enters the vehicle and calmly pulls out his gun , placing a silencer on it . the first man is dismissive , saying he has kidnapping insurance so the assassin should just get on with his business quickly . the assassin is surprised at his arrogance . he explains that he was hired to send a message to the man , who is a stockbroker and has been shorting the stocks of the assassin ' s boss ' company . the assassin orders the stockbroker to stop shorting stocks . the man is continually arrogant and dismissive , so the assassin strikes him deftly and repeatedly . the man tries reaching for the gun at one point , but the assassin skillfully deflects him . the man finally submits and asks which company he should stop shorting , as he does it to many companies . the assassin simply tells him to stop shorting all stocks or he ' ll return to kill him . he exits the car and leaves .

the accountant serves criminals around the world , but due to the dangerous nature of his work , he frequently changes his identity . he is a high - functioning autistic , so he is excellent with numbers and data and other specialized training he ' s received from his tough - love father , including weapons and fight training . he struggles with social interactions , but he still tries to help people . with two treasury department investigators on his trail , he takes on a seemingly safe job for a robotics company with the help of an in - house accountant . he uncovers deep corruption , but the ceo has hired an assassin , who we later find out is the accountant ' s brother . the accountant saves the in - house accountant , reunites with his brother , and kills the ceo .
the message is undeniable : even if a baby says he wants to be a boss , he really wants to be a baby . we should not let bosses be babies , because they are babies . all other films hoping to become the official cinematic standard - bearer of # theresistance , take a seat . this is the most damning political narrative of 2017 .

edward meechum was frank underwood ' s bodyguard . he was hired as a temporary replacement to protect frank and claire underwood , after steve became ill . steve was later diagnosed with cancer and eventually died , and meechum was made permanent . when a brick , thrown by doug stamper , landed in the underwood ' s house , he got fired for firing a gun in the open street . after talking with meechum ' s boss , frank got him re - hired . he showed himself valuable for frank after revealing that one of his friends could find most people . also , due to frank updating the terms and conditions of his employment , that meechum is
a rock
who
absorbs nothing
, meechum demonstrates his undying loyalty by complying ( and his status as being in frank ' s debt ) . because of this , frank wanted to keep him as bodyguard , after his nomination for vice president , unorthodoxically having meechum cross - trained / promoted to secret service .
yes , if you have a good relationship with your boss and are comfortable with a probing question like that one . however , keep in mind the old addage , only ask the question for which you already know the answer . . . or be prepared for the cold hard truth .
even though it’s been barely over two months since inauguration day , it’s possible this insta - angle might already be wearing a little thin . and if we needed an occasion to officially retire it , it is friday’s release of the boss baby .
there were other irregularities in trump’s first big construction project . in 1979 , when trump hired a demolition contractor to take down the bonwit teller department store to make way for trump tower , he hired as many as 200 non - union men to work alongside about 15 members of the house wreckers union local 95 . the non - union workers were mostly illegal polish immigrants paid $ 4 to $ 6 per hour with no benefits , far below the union contract . at least some of them did not use power tools but sledgehammers , working 12 hours a day or more and often seven days a week . known as the “polish brigade , ” many didn’t wear hard hats . many slept on the construction site .
you may like him , you may hate him , but you kind of have to respect him . he ' s not gonna bullshit you . he ' s gonna say what ' s on his mind . does he get a little bit harsh sometimes ? he does . yes , he can be a little bit brash , but it ' s refreshing ! i know he ' s going get the job done , he ' s not going to bullshit you . people are so brainwashed into thinking that he ' s gonna blow up our country because he ' s gonna piss somebody off . it ' s not going to happen . he ' s a smart businessman !
if you quote me saying , ' oh , he would be a terrible president , ' he would probably mean - tweet me .
he is informed by jules’ assistant becky that he has a meeting with her at exactly 3 . 55 , and he should be prompt because there ' s another meeting at 4 pm . becky also tells him to talk fast and blink a lot , because her boss is weirded out by people who do not . in the meeting , jules informs him that she will not have much for him to do . however , she will email him if something comes up .
the naive and apolitical brit replacement writer , hired by publisher rhinehart , inc . in london was told that the 624 page manuscript was a
crock of s - - t
- and needed complete revamping within a month . the site of the rewrite was marty rhinehart ' s secure , isolated , modernist beach house on martha ' s vineyard off the coast of massachusetts .
the stare i got back was blank . i wasn ' t sure if he ' d registered it , or perhaps that was the moment he realized he didn ' t actually want to be with a woman who could be that forthright .
our relationship ended not entirely because i yelled at him in the dressing room that day , but it was a big part of it . the true essence of who i am had come out when i was in producer mode — that take - charge , organized , multitasking boss .
ray tells her that later on , he sat in a surveillance truck for months outside the gambino headquarters with nothing to show for it when one day , a man walks up and kills the two mafia guards standing outside . ray runs inside rather than waiting for backup , to find multiple dead bodies inside ( connecting to the opening scene , and the audio recording ) . he hears little nicky upstairs begging for his life . based on what he hears and what he sees , he believes that the killer was out for revenge for something deeply personal . ray follows quietly and is about to enter the room , when christian comes up behind with him a gun . christian questions him , and ray tells him that he ' s just a lowly treasury agent . christian asks if he ' s good at his job , which ray tells him he ' s not . he says he ' s lousy at his job , but he has children and begs him not to kill him . christian asks if he ' s a good father . ray tells him that he know he ' s bad at his job , but he ' s a great father and he always did right by his kids . christian walks away .
christian takes dana with him to his storage unit . he instructs her to wait outside but she enters anyway , finding his cash and valuable paintings and a storage space his weapons . he is annoyed that she came inside to his private space where he is packing up clothes , cash , passports and comic books . she questions how he owns an original renoir and an original pollock , which he explains he received as payment .
van orton promised that he would contact crs , though added :
i hate surprises .
he ventured to the 14th floor of the high - rise building on montgomery street in sf , to enter crs ' secretive offices , where he was greeted by jim feingold ( james rebhorn ) , vp of engineering and data analysis . he was told he had contracted for an intriguing game -
hubert wilkins , a bookkeeper for mr . bates by day and an air raid warden by night , patrols the district where his boss ' warehouse is located , and finds two employees removing raw silk stocks . they say they are working under bates ' orders and brush him off . hubert wants to marry emily conway , company secretary , but can ' t see how he can afford it since he has loaned a salesman , fuller , $ 400 with deeds to four lots as security . don bates , son of the boss , is engaged to emily ' s sister sally though his father disapproves . he and emily encourage sally and don to elope . hubert , a little tipsy , buys two more lots from fuller and goes to bates ' home and asks for a raise . he is fired and , the next morning , emily also for helping don to elope . hubert discovers that the lots he bought are worth $ 100 , 000 and , unknown to bates , buys the company . while on warden duty that night , he discovers that the two employees he previously saw taking silk from the warehouse are actually stealing it .
from the start , the case of mr . hunter has been full of cinematic moments and cloak - and - dagger twists . the government contends that he hired four former soldiers — three from europe and one from the united states — to act as his accomplices and was recorded on tape agreeing to accept an $ 800 , 000 bounty to kill the two victims in liberia . the assassins , prosecutors say , planned to wear custom rubber masks and then escape the country in a privately chartered jet .
the parents ask the psychologist about justine , and he explains that she ' s his daughter and the reason he started his institute . they also ask how they are funded , and he tells them that they have some very generous benefactors . the father asks if that is how justine has such an expensive computer . he explains that he ' s an engineer and that her computer is powerful enough to hack the pentagon , which the psychologist didn ' t realize .
speak to your boss directly . ask him what you need to do to be promoted . then shut up and listen to what he has to say . if he starts in with the
i can ' t promote you both
stuff , say ,
i understand that . i want to know what skills i need to improve and what projects i need to take on in order to be qualified to move to the next step .
in the conclusion , brenner reprimanded general campbell , who still claimed he had done nothing wrong :
nothing is gained by my involvement .
he was planning on further covering - up his participation in the entire incident . brenner was steadfast as he confronted the general :
the assassin ' s two henchmen have followed christian to the farm and are holding the farmer and his wife inside hostage . they have the wife call out to christian , but he doesn ' t seem to hear them . then suddenly , one of the henchmen is shot through the head by a sniper rifle . the other henchman grabs the couple and heads to the car , but christian shoots out the tires . he then heads to the couple ' s truck , and christian shoots the engine to disable it . he runs up to the truck and grabs the henchman . christian strangles him and asks who hired him . the henchman won ' t say , but hands over dana ' s id , saying that his instructions were to kill the two of them . christian kills him and casually waves bye to the farmer and his wife .
but one thing that a new boss needs are some good strands to explore that are already in place and storylines to explode while they then put their own into place . john has inherited max’s saga and a fascinating storyline between the branning sisters , steven and josh which he hope he explodes . after that , we have no doubt that he can then weave some slower burners through as well which whoever takes up eastenders as it heads into the new and exciting era can have a lot of fun with and ride on a high from the outset .
now that he’s running for president , i pulled together what’s known – piecing together the long history of federal filings , court records , biographical anecdotes , and research from my and barrett’s files . what emerges is a pattern of business dealings with mob figures — not only local figures , but even the son of a reputed russian mob boss whom trump had at his side at a gala trump hotel opening , but has since claimed under oath he barely knows .
that night christian engages in his usual ritual with the strobe light and loud music , but he is deeply frustrated that he wasn ' t able to finish his assignment . he hits himself painfully with his wooden rod and is unable to cope with the stimuli . he grabs his medication and forcefully throws it across the room before calming down and picking it up .
in his signature book , the art of the deal , donald trump boasted that when he wanted to build a casino in atlantic city , he persuaded the state attorney general to limit the investigation of his background to six months . most potential owners were scrutinized for more than a year . trump argued that he was “clean as a whistle”—young enough that he hadn’t had time to get into any sort of trouble . he got the sped - up background check , and eventually got the casino license .
melania is definitely a beautiful brunette . but he ' s had several blondes in his life — his exes are blonde . . . and he likes my look . he loved it when i would wear my scarves , and he would comment ,
look at miss oregon , the way she wears the scarf , she looks like grace kelly .
at his interview with a series of people , ben reveals that he used to work for a company that made phone books . the interviewer ( nat wolff ) also asks him where he see himself in the next ten years and then realises the question really doesn ' t apply . he tells him that he did great in his interviews and video and is quite overqualified for the job .
trump , in his phone call to me , said he “hardly knew” weichselbaum .
with the show first premiering more than a decade ago , and with its successful celebrity spin - off still on the air , the apprentice was a televisual juggernaut , at its peak watched by close to 30 million people . it did wonders for the trump brand , and the stakes were arguably just as high for those competing for his approval , with professional reputations and careers on the line . urltoken interviewed 18 former candidates — those on the apprentice were candidates , not contestants , because it was a classy reality tv experience , thxvm — for insight into their would - be boss ( and , in one case , actual boss ) as he remains the gop front - runner , with a campaign largely based on his business expertise and no - holds - barred brash talk . below , their thoughts :
christian sets out to see lamar ' s sister , believing her to be behind the plot . as he pulls up to her home , he sees a suspicious man exiting her building . he follows from across the street , and we see that it ' s the assassin . the assassin seems to know someone is following him though he never turns and looks . he then quickly pulls out his gun and fires two shots at christian , who ducks behind a car . when he peers out , the assassin is gone . christian enters the building and finds that lamar ' s sister is dead .
he ' s a big personality on and off screen , [ but ] he was less intimidating than i was expecting . i definitely feel like he appreciates strong women — but he wants women to be strong in a way that ' s traditionally
feminine .
i mean , i ' m a feminist through and through . i think he wants women to act like women in the stereotypical sense , and i believe that he has very specific views on gender roles and that he thinks that women can be powerful and strong , but in the context of acting the way that , quote unquote , a woman should .
he is to cut it into pieces . . . including the head and the fat . and the priest shall arrange them on the burning wood on the altar .
now , in an extra negative note , i wouldn ' t at all be surprised if neither one of you end up with a promotion at the end of this year . but because you ' re going to be working on developing your relationship with your boss , you ' ll know what he values and you ' ll be in a much stronger position than you were last time around .
he does not hear from her for a few days . nonetheless he makes himself productive , getting to know the ropes around the place and learning how to deal with the technology . he helps whomever he can and is referred of ‘mr . congeniality’ by cameron . in addition , he also gives old school sensible advice to the youngsters when they need it , such as telling jason to talk properly to becky for cheating on her since his evasive text messages did not get any response .
after he took christine hostage , guards opened fire on them and they retreated to the roof . she told him that everything was a hoax , but he didn ' t believe her :
this business connection proved useful when trump began work on what would become trump tower , the 58 - story high - rise where he still lives when he’s not at his florida estate .
in the six months before serving his prison term , he resigned from the magazine when he was hired by aging , reclusive , brooding and obsessed 82 year - old industrialist henrik vanger ( sven - bertil taube ) . he was commissioned to find the truth about the disappearance ( was she dead or not ? ) of henrik ' s favorite 16 year - old niece harriet vanger in the fall of 1966 , 40 years earlier , from a family reunion / board meeting at their retreat on hedeby island . harriet was the daughter of henrik ' s brother gottfried . mikael was chosen to find out about her , because he was often baby - sat by harriet . it was known that a crash of a fuel tanker truck on the only bridge from the island had blocked access for 24 hours , causing henrik to believe one of the detestable vanger family members was responsible .
christian drives to his home , which is very bare . he has no art or photos or any decorations in the house . he owns exactly one plate , one fork , one knife , one spoon , and prepares himself dinner . he is highly ritualized in the way he prepares his food . he continuously shows small tics , like blowing on his fingers before picking up his fork . later in the evening , he goes into his bedroom and turns on a strobe light and loud , heavy metal music . he picks up a small , wooden rod and uses it to roll on his leg muscles . he is trying to remain calm , subjecting himself to the stressful stimuli until his alarm beeps and it ' s time to take his zoloft .
once again , cole and dylan sprouse have reminded us why twitter is their world and we ' re just tweeting in it . over the weekend , cole shared an inaccurate
news
headline about why hollywood won ' t work with the sprouse twins after years of childhood stardom . instead of just looking at his computer screen and muttering
wtf ,
cole did what he does best : tweet like an absolute boss .
as a matter of fact , if you quote me saying ,
oh , he would be a terrible president ,
which i believe he would be , then he would probably mean - tweet me , you know ? i ' m certain that would be the response .
the next day , her meeting with the ceo takes longer than most of her meetings so far . when she is done , she tells ben that she hired him on the spot , though the ceo told her to sleep on it . back at home she informs matt and tells him she thinks it will be great for ‘us’ . he asks who the us refers to , and she clarifies that she meant jules and matt , not about the fit . however , she breaks down as she is taking a bath that night , showing she is clearly unhappy with her decision .
ray tells this story to marybeth and then tells her that he planned to retire right away and give up the job , but on the way out the door , he gets a phone call . he picks it up and it ' s the voice , tipping him off to a human trafficking ring . he gets the credit for the case . he later gets another tip about drugs coming into the country , and he is again credited for the case , raising his profile and success at the agency . marybeth realizes that all of ray ' s successes came from the voice . ray then reminds her that he ' s retiring soon , so someone else needs to take the voice ' s calls . at first , marybeth refuses . then the phone in christian ' s house rings . she answers it , and the voice tells her to tell ray to get his feet off the coffee table .
i felt like the reason we got along so well is because i ' m a really strong , powerful women . there were other women [ on the show ] who he was clearly attracted to and who didn ' t have the same kind of business attitude that i did ; he treated me quite differently than he would treat . . . a beauty queen . he treated me so respectfully . and i think he treated them very well too , but i don ' t think he really looked at them in terms of their business [ credentials ] . he would joke around with them more — you have to have beautiful people on tv if you want your show to work !
there are two of us in equal positions at my office . the excuse our manager used for not promoting either of us was that there could only be one promotion and therefore it would not be forthcoming this year because if one was promoted the other would make too much fuss . since that time this other employee has been determined to undermine me with our boss by finding fault with everything i do , even to point of saying i am not qualified for my job , lied about my number of overtime hours and quoted me as saying i thought he was an idiot . i find my boss is buying everything she says . what can i do at this point to help save my job and bring attention to fact she is deliberately trying to get herself promoted by sabotaging me .
donald trump , as busy as he is , he took the apprentice very , very seriously . i do not exaggerate when i tell you that some of the boardroom deliberations lasted several hours . donald knows what ' s going on . he makes really , really thoughtful and insightful decisions . when i worked for him for that year after i won the show , i oversaw the renovation and marketing of a home on palm beach that ultimately sold for $ 95 million . even in that experience , donald trump was really involved in everything when it came to the house — i mean , what fixtures would be used in the bathroom , what type of marble or stonework . he made a lot of the day - to - day decisions . and i think that ' s ultimately why he is successful . he was never a micromanager , but he knows where he should step in and be involved , and he knows when to let other people take the ball and run with it .
he strangled her as he forcibly held her over the car hood . during the strangulation , there were two views of the victim - one of jessica being killed , and one of annie who was envisioning the murder . afterwards , collins deposited jessica ' s body in the misty swamp water .
if you haven ' t met donald trump [ in person ] , you have this opinion of him from the media as this scary guy who fires people , you ' re like , o h my god , it ' s donald trump , he is going to eat me alive . but he really surprised me ; he is really personable [ and ] he puts you at ease . i felt very comfortable around him . and he remembers the little things , like the names of my kids , where i lived in texas , it was just weird that there were so many of us , but he just remembered everyone .
ultimately i did a great job on the show , so when donald fired me , he called the day after said he still wanted to hire me . [ he said ] that he would be willing to offer me a job , he was very impressed with me , but the producers wouldn ' t allow him to technically do that until the day after the finale .
the next day [ after the finale ] ,
he said ,
i ' d like for you to come to my office and meet with me .
so that ' s what i did . he had his son and daughter give me a tour of his offices , and i was able to meet with lots of his staff , people that had been with him for years . and then i went back into his office and he gave me two job offers . i ended up [ turning him down ] . i wanted to pursue a career in entertainment . he was shocked , but then i think he also respected my decision . he said ,
you know what , i am surprised , because these would have been big moneymakers for you , but you need to follow your heart .
a shy bookkeeper accidentally discovers that the company where he works is targeted in a series of late - night robberies .
as he was walking along the deserted , blackened beach , he was whistling and relieved that his killing days appeared over . he was contemplating ending a life of brutality and violence ( by throwing his shotgun into the water and moving abroad ) . but then he was shockingly and depressingly assassinated by a single shot in the forehead from sniper fire - from a man named
j
( identified from his signet ring near the trigger , in close - up ) .
claire underwood invited meechum into the house for coffee and while he was inside a vandal threw a brick into the underwood home . meechum ran outside to try and catch the vandal . when meechum saw him running away , he fired one shot at the vandal . meechum came under fire for the incident and it was presumed he would lose his job because he fired his gun in a residential area . meechum then appealed to frank underwood to help him save his job . frank decides to call meechum ' s boss , cardiff , to save meechum ' s job . frank ' s reasoning was that it required so little of him to do something so big for meechum . meechum resumes his duty with frank ' s detail . come to find out it was actually stamper who threw the brick as per frank ' s direction to lure the teacher ' s union into a deal .
they take off for san francisco the next day . jules tells him she knows there ' s something he isn ' t telling her since he doesn ' t look directly at her and blinks little . he admits to being a softy despite his manly exterior and suggests they enjoy their first class plane ride .
after he fired me , he offered me a job in real life . when the cameras stopped rolling , he said ,
you tried really hard , you did great , i tried to defend you , but your team just wanted you gone . . . majority rules .
but [ he said ] he was very impressed with my intelligence , my drive , and that i ' d be more than welcome to come work for the trump organization . i actually thought the contestants were worse to deal with than he was — most of my teammates were a nightmare to deal with . he was not that bad . is he harsh in the boardroom ? absolutely . [ but ] the american people that he ' s tapping into , they respect his toughness . again , it ' s not my brand of politics , [ but ] i think many of the republicans , those who underestimated him are , i think today , after south carolina , realizing what a huge mistake that was .
and here was my current beau — an actual relationship prospect , so i thought — sitting in the dressing room chatting happily with the model we ' d hired to be his stage girlfriend . i busted in on the two of them getting their hair and makeup touched up and , hands on hips , scolded them :
do not go up on the roof . it is not safe , it is not legal and if i hear about anyone doing it again , our production is shut down .
martin admitted he left behind no bodies like his father had , by dumping his corpses in the sea . when he was found out , martin almost killed mikael by hanging him in his underground torture cellar , but was saved by lisbeth at the last minute . she watched as his fleeing vehicle crashed , overturned down an embankment , and caught fire , and his immobilized body was incinerated in the blaze . she had no sympathy for him , unlike mikael :
he was a killer and a rapist and he enjoyed it . . . he wasn ' t a victim . he was an evil motherf - - ker who hated women .
a humble heart always goes a long way , and the one thing that we very rarely see from donald trump is a humble heart . that ' s not a part of his brand . i will say he is smart and i do believe that he does know what he ' s saying and i do believe he does know why he ' s saying it . he knows exactly the audience he ' s going after . trump is a person who spins and reframes things because he ' s focused on being perceived as victorious , as perfect . [ it ' s about ] how to make what ' s imperfect work for you — i did learn that from being a competitor on the apprentice , and i ' ve used that throughout my life ; however , i won ' t use it to the detriment of other people . that ' s a difference .
braxton challenges christian to fight back , asking him why he ( christian ) didn ' t turn to him for support , and he ' s always been there for him his whole life . christian does fight back and they finally end up on the floor , both tired . lamar enters the room and asks what the hell is going on . christian abruptly shoots lamar , and then offhandedly apologizes to braxton , saying he had to finish what he started .
from the beginning , trump tried to have it both ways . while he leveraged roy cohn’s mob contacts in new york , he was telling the fbi he wanted nothing to do with organized crime in atlantic city , and even proposed putting an undercover fbi agent in his casinos . in april of 1981 , when he was considering building a new jersey casino , he expressed concern about his reputation in a meeting with the fbi , according to an fbi document in my possession and which the site smoking gun also posted . “trump advised agents that he had read in the press media and had heard from various acquaintances that organized crime elements were known to operate in atlantic city , ” the fbi recorded . “trump also expressed at this meeting the reservation that his life and those around him would be subject to microscopic examination . trump advised that he wanted to build a casino in atlantic city but he did not wish to tarnish his family’s name . ”
trump mused that he might run for president in 2016 , and he thought he ' d probably be running against hillary . wolfgang encouraged him , as did most of my team and his wife , melania . melania is ridiculously hot , by the way . and smart . so is ivanka . people say trump is a misogynist — and who knows , maybe he is — but he ' s definitely not afraid to be surrounded by some badass women . well , as long as they ' re badass and attractive .
i would really characterize the apprentice as donald trump ' s baby . he took an enormous amount of pride in the show . he was more involved than i thought he would be — one thing that t he apprentice reinforced for me is that donald trump is , is a brilliant marketer . a brilliant brand evangelist — for his own brand . there ' s a fundamental misunderstanding of just the amount of xenophobia within the republican party . and i think that donald trump has picked up on it and he ' s tapped it . that ' s what he does . what a brilliant marketer does is they tap into people ' s concerns , desires , and they speak to them .
the ' ghostwriter ' wrote the sentence on a piece of paper , passed through a number of hands to ruth , and shortly after , as he stepped outside with the original manuscript , he was run - down ( off - screen ) in the street ( the same thoroughfare in the film ' s opening ) . he was murdered like mcara , in order to silence him - or were both deaths just an accident ? his manuscript papers blew down the street in the wind as the film faded to white before the credits .
but trump was not clean as a whistle . beginning three years earlier , he’d hired mobbed - up firms to erect trump tower and his trump plaza apartment building in manhattan , including buying ostensibly overpriced concrete from a company controlled by mafia chieftains anthony “fat tony” salerno and paul castellano . that story eventually came out in a federal investigation , which also concluded that in a construction industry saturated with mob influence , the trump plaza apartment building most likely benefited from connections to racketeering . trump also failed to disclose that he was under investigation by a grand jury directed by the u . s . attorney in brooklyn , who wanted to learn how trump obtained an option to buy the penn central railroad yards on the west side of manhattan .
later on , he would call me — after a miss universe pageant , or a miss usa pageant .
what did you think of the winner ?
he ' d ask .
i don ' t know , i thought maybe the runner - up or , you know .
it was just , you know , normal conversation . and so we got to know each other a little bit more . i just always feel like he cared . when i got married , he gave me a really great deal on his country club in palos verdes ; access hollywood decided to film the wedding and he flew out . i ' d said ,
hey , do you want to come out and film something at the club ?
he said ,
all right , i ' ll be in the area . i only have about 15 minutes though .
well , once he was there and once the cameras were going , it was like , he was there as long as was needed . i will say , he does not mind the cameras .
