AT THE MOVIES- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong> After some turbulence, Barbie has finally landed in Egypt: <\/strong>Just as the blockbuster crossed the USD 1 bn threshold in box office revenues, the censorship gods of the Middle East took pity on disappointed moviegoers and decided to release it to theaters. Initially, the movie was set to show in the Middle East <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/film\/news\/barbie-theatrical-release-middle-east-potential-ban-1235690791\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">even earlier<\/a> than the international release date before getting kicked to the end of August. Now, after just five days in cinemas, the movie has garnered over USD 4 mn across Saudi and Emirati screens alone, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/08\/barbie-oppenheimer-gran-turismo-meg-2-global-international-box-office-1235475535\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Deadline<\/a> reports. If you haven\u2019t contributed to ticket sales yet, let us tell you why you should.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> What goes on: <\/strong>The film follows the titular Barbie going through an existential crisis and having to travel to the real world to find the source of her problems. Ken, being the devoted kinda-kinda-not boyfriend, tags along and makes some discoveries of his own. Out in the real world, Barbie also comes face to face with Barbie fan Gloria (played by America Ferrera) and her daughter, who end up having a lot to do with the plotline. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The hype is justified: <\/strong> We\u2019re happy to report that the overwhelmingly positive reviews of Greta Gerwig\u2019s masterpiece are comfortably founded. Even though many of the movie\u2019s stellar moments were released ahead of its international rollout both in the trailer (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pBk4NYhWNMM\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch, runtime: 2:41<\/a>) and as promotional material, there was still plenty more to see. The movie was funny and emotional, and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling delivered pitch-perfect performances as Barbie and Ken. America Ferrera\u2019s performance was also commendable, with several stand-out scenes that added seriousness and depth to the film. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> MEN ALLOWED- <\/strong> While you might think the movie \u2014 with its for-women-by-women reputation and its pink color scheme \u2014 was made exclusively for a female audience, it\u2019s not. Gosling\u2019s character is marketed as \u201cJust Ken\u201d but the actor\u2019s performance is scene-stealing good, and Ken receives a character arc unmatched by any other character in the movie. If the Barbies are the soul of the movie, Gosling\u2019s Ken is the beating heart. And while it is ultimately commentary on the female experience in the face of a systematically male-dominated society, the film is just as interesting for a male audience. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> WHERE TO WATCH- <\/strong> You can catch Barbie at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/egy.voxcinemas.com\/movies\/barbie\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">VOX cinemas<\/a> in City Center Almaza and Mall of Egypt, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.festivalcitymallcairo.com\/home\/whats-inside\/entertainment\/Galaxy+Cinema\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Cairo Festival City<\/a> theaters, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.citystars-heliopolis.com.eg\/en\/cinema\/stars-cinema\/movie\/barbie-hyl46oge2n\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Citystars<\/a> screens. Don\u2019t forget to wear pink.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Gran Turismo is a fun, fast-paced, 135-minute commercial for Sony. <\/strong> The film is based on the real-life story of Jann Mardenborough (played by Archie Madekwe), who fulfilled perhaps every gamer\u2019s dream of using their in-game skills to become a professional race car driver. Mardenborough\u2019s gaming abilities land him a spot in a GT Academy competition set up by business-sly gamesman Danny Moore (played by Orlando Bloom) to tap into an untouched market made up of \u201ccouch potatoes.\u201d Jann\u2019s relationship with his gruff trainer Jack Salter was carried by the reliable talents of David Harbour, which have proved time and again his ability to improve every so-so Hollywood project, selling the hackneyed tough-love mentor has-been legend, pit-stop pep talks and all. Every grain of authenticity in the movie comes from his performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The movie is stylistically compelling<\/strong>, continuously blurring the line between simulated and real racing throughout \u2014 first by turning Marderborough\u2019s gaming setup into a real track, then vice versa. It\u2019s a fun stylistic choice, but also a reminder of the movie being a glorified commercial for the benefits of logging hours on your PlayStation \u2014 you\u2019re not wasting your life playing video games, you\u2019re building skills. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Instead of marketing the story, the movie ( <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZCYHn8mvyF8\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">watch trailer, runtime: 2:23<\/a><\/strong><strong> ) seems more intent on marketing the PlayStation<\/strong>, and more specifically, its Gran Turismo games. Doing so in a very formulaic and perhaps uninspired manner, the film delivers an against-all-odds underdog story that checks every clich\u00e9 box, from on-track rivalries to tough-love coaches, second-act tragedies and third-act resurrections. This doesn\u2019t make it a bad movie, though \u2014 just a predictable one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> WHERE TO WATCH- <\/strong> You can watch Gran Turismo in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/egy.voxcinemas.com\/movies\/gran-turismo\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">VOX<\/a> theaters in City Center Almaza and Mall of Egypt, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.festivalcitymallcairo.com\/home\/whats-inside\/entertainment\/Galaxy+Cinema\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Cairo Festival City<\/a> screens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> ? FROM THE BOOKSTORE- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong> Behind iconic Egyptian brands, from Corona to Chipsy: <\/strong>Sanai\u2019ayat Masr \u2014 or Egypt\u2019s craftsmen \u2014 is a collection of stories spotlighting the lives of iconic Egyptian brand creators. Egyptian writer <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/omertaher?lang=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/omertaher?lang=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Omar Taher<\/a> narrates the stories behind famous Egyptian local brands, how they were created and developed, how people use and perceive them, and what happened to them years later. From the inventors of Cologne 555, Cleopatra cigarettes and Corona chocolate to the engineers behind the Cairo Tower and the Aswan High Dam, the book uses a wide range of interesting business stories as a starting point into an exploration of the origin of these industries in Egypt. The book also contains vintage photos of the creators along with advertisements and commercials that were published in newspapers and magazines. The book comes in two volumes. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> It\u2019s fitting that the book starts with the story of the iconic El Shabrawishi Cologne 555<\/strong>, whose unmistakable lemon scent means different things to different people: A staple in many an Egyptian household, the cologne is often used to revive people from a faint (or does that only happen in the movies?) and to clean an injury \u2014 and sometimes as a perfume. The story looks at Hamza El Shabrawishi, the Egyptian behind the iconic product known across Egypt and the Arab world, and how his love for perfumery pushed him to set up his first shop in the Al Hussein district. That first shop boomed, creating enough momentum to open more shops, before taking a bigger step and building his factory, helping him expand the brand beyond Egypt\u2019s borders. His success story is tinged with sadness, as El Shabrawishi traveled to Switzerland for medical treatment after suffering from a stroke, never to return to Egypt again. After being treated in Switzerland, he returned to Lebanon, rather than his home country, out of fear of the reach of Gamal Abdel Nasser\u2019s nationalization policies. He died in the late 1960s and was buried in Egypt upon his request. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> WHERE TO FIND IT- <\/strong>Both volumes are available on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.eg\/-\/en\/%D8%B5%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1-%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B5%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AB\/dp\/9776467636\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Egypt<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shoroukbookstores.com\/books\/view.aspx?id=de1858c6-804f-4d62-8f6b-5c90b7594483\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">El Shorouk Bookstore<\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/saltofearth.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2023\/8\/863.jpg?ssl=1\"\/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> ?
