Here you go – Peek into September’s recommendation @ HBO Max

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: .

After the summer break, busy weekdays are back, and this time we have a few exciting premieres to serve you. Among the featured series of the month are the second season of American Hostage , based on true events, and Outlander: Blood in My Blood , but several original European productions are also coming to the platform. Among the film premieres, we find the Oscar-winning Emotional Value starring Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård, the creepy, emotional thriller The Long March , and Ildikó Enyedi’s special work, The Silent Friend. And for those looking for lighter entertainment, the Creed and Hangover trilogy can offer relaxation.

Series … One of the highlights of the month is the drama series American Hostage (21. Sept.), based on true events, in which a popular radio host (Jon Hamm) unexpectedly finds himself in the middle of a life-threatening hostage drama. The second season of the time-traveling costume drama Outlander: Blood of My Blood (19. Sept.) is also coming. The story continues with Julia (Hermione Corfield) left alone with her daughter, while Henry, separated from his love and all hope, struggles to find his way back to her. Youth (21. Sept.) also debuts, in which 50-year-old divorcee Alex (Sharon Horgan) re-enters dating while caring for her elderly parents and supporting her adult son in everyday life.

September will also be the month of European series premieres. The award-winning German drama 4 Blocks is coming, with its prequel series 4 Blocks Zero (25. Sept.). Set in 1990s Berlin, the story follows the rise of the Hamady family, focusing on family, togetherness and the hope of a new life. All four seasons of the Turkish series Dogu (4. Sept.) are coming, in which we can see the title character’s self-searching, woven with humor and self-irony, the challenges of family pressure and the pitfalls of the working world. In the French psychological thriller Paolo (25. Sept.), the working-class protagonist finds himself embroiled in a politician’s life in a confusing and tense way, the Dutch The Influencer Guru (25. Sept.) guides viewers into the secrets of the world of social media, while the Spanish series Behind the Scenes of Opus Dei features fourteen men from diverse backgrounds speaking out about the spiritual, psychological and financial abuse they suffered in Opus Dei.

HBO Original content is also expanding its offering. Topeka (11. Sept.) explores how a shocking crime case changes entire communities. And in the series Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie (24. Sept.) , we get an insight into the life, career and struggles with mental health of the actress and bodybuilder who lost her hearing as a child.

Also available will be the Mexican series Collision (7. Sept.), which tells the story of a mother and daughter who find themselves in conflict. As they fight for their own truth, more and more secrets come to light. And the legendary American radio show, The Howard Stern Show, is also coming (17. Sept.)

Movies ... The Oscar-winning Norwegian drama Sentimental Value (4. Sept.) starring Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård will soon be available on the platform. The family drama centers on a pair of siblings who are reunited with their estranged father after a long time. During the reunion, they must not only sort out their complicated relationship, but also cope with a new character who unexpectedly enters the family’s life, an American movie star.

Ildikó Enyedi’s special film of the year, Silent Friend (4. Sept.), will also be screened, which tells the story of the encounter between man and plant through three stories, the rare moment when these two radically different perceptions nevertheless connect. The main characters, like the plants in the garden, are outsiders and lonely souls. They yearn for connection just as much as they do.

The Long March (18. Sept.) is a spine- tingling, emotional thriller that asks the agonizing question: how far are you willing to go to win? In the film, based on Stephen King’s first novel, fifty teenage boys participate in an annual walking race, but only one participant survives.

Two truly thought-provoking, high-profile pieces of content are also coming. The Evil Network – The Epstein Files (3. Sept.) is a 90-minute documentary that examines Epstein’s crimes, his human trafficking network, and the systemic failures that allowed the abuse to continue for years. And Made in EU (5. Sept.) tells the story of a woman working in a garment factory in a rural Bulgarian town who becomes the first person in her town to contract the coronavirus and is ostracized by her community. The film explores workplace exploitation and social tensions during the pandemic.

Horror fans will not be left without something new this time either: Beware the Clown (11.Sept.), in which a killer clown emerges from the depths of the cornfields to chase the main character and his new friends into a bloody game. But don’t worry, there’s more horror to come next month. For now, we’ll just tell you that October will also have exciting premieres!

Other featured film premieres include The Last Race (17. Sept.), Such Little Things (24. Sept.), Sorry, Little One (3. Sept.) and The Tour II (11. Sept.).

Good choices for family cinema are Lili and the Kangaroo (26. Sept.), Bad Boys (12. Sept.), and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (19. Sept.).

And of course, this month won’t be without marathon movies, and you can even plan three at once: the complete Hangover trilogy is coming (10. Sept.), all three Creed films (11. Sept.), and for retro fans, three Jean-Claude Van Damme classics (3. Sept.): Double Dynamite , Cyborg and Blood Game.

Nationwide cinemas – Ghost’s unique stage world – secrets – tour close up @ Mexico City

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , .

GHOST-2BIGTORIG_-IMAGE (1).jpg

Ghost’s second major release concert film hitting domestic cinemas!

Pannónia Entertainment Ltd., will bring the band back to the screen after 2024, at the end of August.

Offering an exclusive two-hour experience, 2 Big to Rig will be shown in the original language in selected cinemas nationwide from August 26th, for a very limited time during the last weekend of the summer.

The Swedish formation, known for their unique costumed looks and essentially performing as a “theater rock band”, made their previous film two years ago, also in the summer, with the hugely successful Rite Here Rite Now, but their current work is completely different.

While it was created using narrative elements and directed by a screenwriter-video director, 2 Big to Rig is a more traditional, but no less grandiose concert film and behind-the-scenes documentary that chronicles the band’s monumental Skeletour world tour. The production combines spectacular concert footage with exclusive backstage moments, allowing fans to experience Ghost’s unique stage world and the secrets of the tour up close. The film is based on footage from the Mexico City shows, and places special emphasis on the cell phone-free concert experience, which created an even more intense connection between the band and the audience. 2 Big To Rig simultaneously celebrates Ghost’s spectacular live production and the closing of an important era in the band’s history.

The details of the 73-night tour, which spanned North America and Europe from April last year to February this year, did not previously flood social media due to the lack of mobile phones. Thus, the 16mm footage will definitely provide many new features for those countries and markets that – including our country – were not among the venues of the concert series, mostly due to logistical difficulties. The creators also specially recommended the cinema to ticket holders of the canceled Mexico City date, because last September the crew preserved the excitement of the events in the Latin capital, which were planned for 3 days but ended up only experiencing 2 nights, for posterity. Those who only know Hungarian need not be afraid of the original language, as the documentary part takes up only a few minutes of the running time.

The band’s characteristic continuous storytelling is not present this time, so those who are less familiar with their work will not be at such a disadvantage, because now they have a kind of “best of” selection of songs from 6 albums and some songs that were not released on them, plus of course last year’s chart-topper and tour-related “Skeletá” will also be performed.

So for Ghost fans, it’s a must-see, but basically all rock music lovers are welcome to a great, crushing summer end-of-summer party in cinemas from August 26th – tickets are now on sale!

The T-800 will return to cinemas during early September … Remember Hasta la vista? !

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

On the occasion of its 35th anniversary, the restored 4K 2D version of Terminator 2 – Judgment Day will be shown again, with the original Hungarian dubbing and in English, with Hungarian subtitles on the big screen. But the classic work will also be shown in the 3D version made by James Cameron. Moreover, in a unique way, in the Budapest Lurdy cinema, the film will also be shown in 3D version, with a perfect never-before-seen spatial effect, on a 60-nm Samsung Onyx LED wall.

Pannónia Entertainment celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first Terminator in 2024, and now the cult sequel is not left out of the stream. The 4K and 3D renovation of the movie version was inspired by the 2012 Titanic and 2013 Jurassic Park versions. James Cameron, together with the original crew members – e.g. the effects technicians and the cinematographer – reused the raw CGI files and copies, adding the fresh technology that was also used in the two Avatar episodes that have been released since then.

The director insisted on the cinematic version, but at the same time corrected a few bugs that bothered him with digital editing afterwards. Perhaps the two most striking scenes are during the truck chase, when we could clearly see the stunt biker in the saddle instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger at one point, and when the T-1000 breaks the front window of the tractor-trailer truck twice due to a cutting error.

The 3D version was originally planned for 2016, but the work was so time-consuming that it missed the 25th anniversary, so it was only finished in 2017, when Titanic hit the big screen on its 20th birthday after its 15th. T2’s next anniversary was washed out by the pandemic, but now, having turned 35, it will be available in cinemas again, but this time in a more limited way than 9 years ago, for only 2 weeks, in selected cinemas nationwide.

Judgment Day itself falls on August 29th, and so it will be shown in cinemas worldwide from August 27th to mid-September. It will be shown in Hungary from September 3rd, at the same time as the United Kingdom, Australia and several Western European countries.

Of course, in addition to the 3D, the 2D version also received the 4K resolution that comes with the renovation, and the bugs were patched. The director did not leave the film’s second 2D/3D premiere without comment: “T2 was made for cinemas and  new version, created with loving care, has already proven to be the best way to see the film.  It’s gratifying that it can be shown again. After 35 years it’s okay to give spoilers, but in case it bothers anyone, SPOILER ALERT: the film is about the good guys triumphing over the superintelligence of AI. And this message makes this year’s re-release perhaps more relevant than ever in our times.”

Of course, the Terminator has faithfully returned many times over the past 35 years, but they have never been able to repeat the success and impact of this indelibly historical adventure.

So on the first premiere day of the fall,  plan in advance welcoming  Hasta la vista, viewer  fan to this first opportunity in many years. The veterans, because they know what an experience it is, the new (or perhaps first-time) viewers, because they don’t know, and the Guns N’ Roses fans for the theme song. Hasta la vista, viewers!

Age limited  movie above 16 yrs. olda.

Tickets can be purchased on the spot at the LURDY CINEMA, GOBUDA CINEMA, POLE CINEMA

“Opera” state-of-the-art with Vincent Cassel @ nationwide cinemas Hungary

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , .

 

“Opera!” will be shown nationwide in art cinemas with Vincent Cassel in an important supporting role, distributed by Pannónia Entertainment Ltd.

A blend of classical film acting … traditional opera singing … both the music … special visual effects representing several eras at once, to the viewers.

Short summary … The Italian film tells the classic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice, adapted to the present day, while Vincent Cassel brings the character of the taxi driver, Charon, to life alongside the two main characters. Eurydice is fatally wounded by an unexpected gunshot at her own wedding. Her love, Orpheus, cannot accept the loss, so he sets off to the underworld to bring her back to the living. In this special adaptation, the underworld appears in the form of the mysterious Grand Hades Hotel, where Orpheus encounters strange figures and must confront his own fears and memories. His journey is accompanied by arias from world-famous operas, as the boundaries between love and death gradually blur.

The film is not a traditional musical, but a spectacular operatic fantasy, in which the story is told using well-known arias by Antonio Vivaldi, Giacomo Puccini and Giuseppe Verdi, among others. The visuals are made special by the costumes and surreal sets designed by Dolce & Gabbana.

So far the film has been shown in relatively few countries and what’s more interesting in Cassel’s homeland, France.  The musical scores go beyond classical operas and provide an interesting mix, as in addition to the aforementioned big names, songs from the synthpop of the 80s are heard, in our case with a transcription of one of Frankie Goes To Hollywood‘s hits, which truly combined the worlds of symphonic orchester and early electronic music with a truly brilliant sound mix.

The director duo has worked with a similar concept in opera houses and theaters in recent years, and they have now converted the experiences they gained there into the language of film.

This opera is raised to a new narrative and visual level in order to restore the declining popularity of lyrical storytelling to our days, i.e. they wanted to modernize and update the first libretto and address today’s generation in the language of pop with cinema. They created a blend of classical film acting and traditional opera singing, and both the music and the special and visual effects represent several eras at once, and the digital backgrounds and physical sets blend harmoniously with each other. The two main characters were chosen from hundreds of young opera singers.

This is the first production in Italy intended for direct cinema, which was shot almost entirely with virtual elements, at the Prodea Led Studio in Turin. This allowed the creation of visual world, which is key to depicting the dreamlike nature of the entire work. The creators aimed to get the most out of it, giving meaning and parallels to our time on several levels, while the technology also superbly supported the grandeur of the story itself.

This film brings classical Italian opera into a new era, while being both modern and respectful of tradition. Most probably, for those who have never heard the genre before, and/or for those who have been fans of it for a long time. It transfers the structure of the musical to the world of opera, creating a new film genre: the opera-musical.

Screenings can be found nationwide in selected cinemas with Hungarian subtitles from the 23 rd. of July, 2026. –  Duration time: 106-minute genre mix unique?

Age-restricted film above 16 yrs.

The last boat to finish was the Nauszikaa, which crossed the finish line in Balatonfüred just 8 seconds before the deadline. True to tradition, the absolute winner RSM team welcomed them at the finish line, paying tribute to their endurance with a sporting gesture.

András Holczhauser – Secretary General of the Hungarian Sailing Association, assessed the performance of the field as follows: “We are incredibly proud of the sailors starting on the Blue Ribbon, as more than half of the field reached the finish line, which, given the circumstances, in this heat and calm wind, is a huge sporting achievement and proves the kind of perseverance and determination needed to succeed in this otherwise beautiful sport.”

The successful completion of the Blue Ribbon in this technical, challenging competition represents an outstanding sporting value in itself, and perfectly reflects the preparedness of the Hungarian large-boat community.

Up-to-Date: Dethronement on Lake Balaton, RSM won the 58th Blue Ribbon Raiffeisen Grand Prix

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainment, Hungary., sporty. Tagged: , , , , , .

After a thrilling 13 hours and 27 minutes of sailing, the RSM catamaran crossed the finish line first at the 58th Kékszalag Raiffeisen Grand Prix, winning the trophy for the fastest boat in the absolute category. This ended the Raiffeisen Audi Fifty-Fifty’s long-standing dominance, as the defending champion and Kékszalag record-holder catamaran took third place with a huge margin. The legendary 13-time Kékszalag winner Farkas Litkey came in second aboard Process Solutions.

The sailing battle on the Hungarian Sea several hundred boats started from Balatonfüred on Thursday morning brought a real tactical battle. Although the competitors were still greeted by fresh wind in the eastern basin of Balaton in the morning hours, it almost completely stopped in the western basin, which resulted in a continuous fight for position and changes in the leading position. The fate of the victory was finally decided on the section returning from Keszthely and then approaching the Tihany Strait. The RSM, led by Róbert Vándor, caught the coastal fresh air at an excellent pace, was the first to exit the Tihany Strait and from then on confidently maintained its leading position until the finish in Füred.

At the end of the extremely technical, becoming the light-wind race, a huge battle for the podium positions unfolded. At Tihany, even KÜRT – Team Kaáli and Team Suzuki were sailing ahead of Fifty-Fifty, but in the last three kilometers, in the increasing wind, Márton Józsa and his team accelerated and continuously overtook their rivals, so even if Fifty-Fifty did not win this time, they missed the podium.

Róbert Vándor – the three-time Blue Ribbon winner of RSM, told the celebrating audience on the shore that this was their most exciting Blue Ribbon so far “Q”: “The field was very strong, there were a lot of fast boats at the start, and it was terribly difficult to keep up with them.”

Although the fate of the trophy for the fastest boat in the absolute category has been decided, the 58th Blue Ribbon Raiffeisen Grand Prix is ​​only just beginning for the majority of the fleet of more than four hundred boats in the darkness of the night, where endurance and perseverance play the main role.

András Holczhauser – Secretary General of the Hungarian Sailing Association, assessed the first day of the race at the finish line as follows “Q”: “We saw an exciting race like never seen before in the fight for the title of absolute winner, but the Blue Ribbon is far from over, as countless boat classes are fighting for category positions and battling the elements, as due to the weak wind, a long night and lots of orphan mosquitoes still await the more than 400 boats out on Lake Balaton.”

Safe navigation is the most important task for the teams during the night. The race standings and the category battles can still be followed continuously on the intelligent GPS tracking interface at track.hunsail.hu, and through the television-quality live broadcast ensures uninterrupted images throughout the night on the kekszalag.hu website and the Telekom Live channel.

Coming Up … Mujahid Zoltán & Group’N’Swing @ Várkert Bazaar Festival – Budapest

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , .

One of our country’s favorite swing & boogie show bands, Group’N’Swing, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year at the VárkertFeszt on the 7th of June @ Várkert Bazár Festival.
The nine-member formation is also preparing a surprise for the anniversary performance. The singer did not reveal all the details at the press conference but mentioned there will be from classic tunes, swing-pop, iconic world hits up to current hits.
Spoke about songs included in the program, forinstance
… Elton John’s I’m Still Standing for sure, but Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now and CeeLo Green’s Forget You are also included in the program. The greatest hits of the classic swing era are not left out either: for example, New York, and other audience favorites.

The band was formed in 2006, and in 2009, their first album, Swing, amagim élek, brought them national recognition. Since I started singing in Group’N’Swing, I have shaped the style of the band myself: the sound of our songs has become more modern and pop. They kept the swing basics, which they combined with different musical styles, creating a kind of modern musical fusion, including soul, twist and rockabilly elements.

Also told that jazz and swing come from the same root? The roots of jazz music go back to the culture of African-American communities. Jazz developed from the mixing of several different musical traditions; its early forms were greatly influenced by blues and ragtime, and then the Dixieland style developed from this, among other things. Swing became one of the later, large-band trends in jazz in the big band era of the 1930s. Danceable, virtuoso and extremely energetic music, because it can be easily combined with other genres. The meeting of swing and pop creates a very fresh sound, which the audience also really likes.

Don’t be a square … I mean be there not to skip out.
