id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Slyvie's Love, starring Tessa Thompson and Nnamdi Asomugha. Amazon Studios While clicking through [/news/amazon-prime-video-to-host-virtual-comic-con-panels/ Amazon Prime Video], you've probably come across a handful of Amazon original movies. They can be hit and miss, but some of them are surprising gems. [ Amazon] snaps up movies like Manchester by the Sea to show in the US, but it also nabs worldwide rights to originals perfect for a night in with a smaller screen. Hopefully you'll find something to your taste (and available in your country) below. CNET Culture Entertain your brain with the coolest news from [https://streamingvf.baby filme streaming vf] to superheroes, memes to video games. Read more: [/news/19-of-the-best-tv-shows-to-see-on-amazon-prime-video/ The 19 best TV shows to watch on Amazon Prime Video] Sylvie's Love Amazon While Sylvie's Love is, at its core, an old-fashioned love story, its dewy romance is remarkably refreshing: A period drama centered on Black people that isn't dominated by issues of race and bigotry. Set in an aesthetically-enchanting '60s New York City, it follows Sylvie and Robert, who have a chance to reconnect after a summer romance five years ago. Both work in music and the film's soundtrack, featuring Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and more, helps transport you to this glowing place. I'm Your Woman Amazon Not your usual crime thriller, I'm Your Woman follows the perspective of a mobster's wife, played by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's Rachel Brosnahan. A betrayal forces Jean to go on the run with a newborn baby and a bodyguard, her husband's former associate Cal (Arinzé Kene). The '70s-set neo-noir circles around themes like racial tensions, privilege and survival. It moves along at a surprisingly steady pace, giving you time to absorb the powerful psychological impact of Jean's new situation. The 12 Lives of Sissy Carlyle Amazon This crowdfunded film is a bundle of quirky, feel-good adventures in a sweet 90-minute hit. After a tragic loss, 27-year-old antique shop owner Sissy Carlyle retreats into her inner world, imagining 11 different, exciting lives that she details in her journals. But eventually she questions whether to shed her fantasy cocoon and face stark realities, which might not be as hopeless as they once seemed. Uplifting is the word to describe Sissy's ultimate adventure in The 12 Lives of Sissy Carlyle. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm Amazon Prime Video Nearly 15 years after Kazakh journalist and TV personality Borat first graced our big screens, he's back playing pranks on unsuspecting Americans while delivering some incredibly incisive cultural commentary. In Borat 2, or Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Borat's on a trip to the US to offer his daughter Tutar (played by a revelatory Maria Bakalova) to Vice President Mike Pence during the 2020 presidential election -- and the COVID-19 pandemic. Prepare to cringe at the doubled-down political incorrectness before succumbing to the outrageous laughs. Selah and the Spades Amazon If you're into the dark-things-happen-at-boarding-schools genre, then Selah and the Spades might be the subject to sign up for. A senior leads a faction called the Spades who sell drugs to other students. But Selah's about to graduate, so must find the right candidate to carry on her legacy. Shot beautifully and guided by debut director Tayarisha Poe's unique lens, this is a taste of even greater things to come. [ ] [ ] [ ] Amazon The Big Sick introduced the world to Kumail Nanjiani, who co-wrote the movie based on his real-life romance with partner Emily V. Gordon. After the pair go on a few promising dates, Emily inexplicably falls ill and must be placed in an induced coma. While Kumail gets to know her worried parents at the hospital, his own Pakistani family keeps arranging dates for him with other women. Not only ripe for cultural comedy setups, The Big Sick is also a down-to-earth and heartfelt story of an interracial couple.

Fed Still In Crisis-fighting Mode As Recovery Appears To Moderate

2021-01-28T17:17:46Z

By Howard Schneider and Ann Saphir WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve on Wednesday left its key overnight interest rate near zero and made no change to its monthly bond purchases, pledging again to keep those economic pillars in place until there is a full rebound from the pandemic-triggered recession. That hasn't happened, and in the statement released after the end of their latest two-day meeting, U.S. central bank policymakers flagged a worrying slowdown in the pace of the recovery. In a news conference after the meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted the economy´s resilience, with major industries like housing, financial services and others adapting to the coronavirus pandemic with new technologies and strategies. But the economy also lost jobs in December, a large chunk of the workforce will likely remain sidelined until the health crisis eases, and Powell said the Fed's rescue effort will not end until those Americans are working again. "You cannot adapt motels, sports venues, movie theaters, restaurants, bars," to function during a pandemic, Powell said. "That is millions and millions of people. You are just going to have to defeat the pandemic ... We have not done it yet. We need to finish the job. It is within our power to do that as a country this year." His language marked a shift in the Fed's rhetoric to both take full account of the potential boost to the economy that could come through widespread vaccinations and immunity, and to acknowledge the long slog the country faces on the road back to full employment. Coronavirus vaccines were just being approved when the Fed held its last policy meeting in December. About 25 million doses of vaccine have been administered since then - Powell said he had taken the first of two shots - and the Biden administration is moving to accelerate distribution. The sense of an approaching endgame to the crisis prompted the Fed to remove a reference in its statement to "medium term" risks from the pandemic, the most tangible incorporation so far of the impact of the vaccine into the central bank's thinking. "The risks are in the near term, frankly," as the U.S. vaccine program ramps up and new disease variants threaten to spread more quickly, [https://streamingvf.baby Streaming VF] Powell told reporters. "There is good evidence to support a stronger economy in the second half of this year." The Fed's decision to leave its benchmark overnight interest rate in a target range of 0 to 0.25% and to keep buying at least $80 billion of Treasury bonds and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month was unanimous. 'ACCOMMODATIVE' STANCE The Fed's worries about the pace of the recovery put even more weight behind its pledge to keep monetary policy in an "accommodative" stance for what may be months or even years to come. While largely hailed as a new and welcome commitment to the country's labor force, the promise of cheap and plentiful credit has also sparked criticism that Fed policy has inflated asset prices, and stock markets in particular, to unsustainable levels. Powell said on Wednesday that efforts by a central bank to "lean against" potential asset bubbles could do more harm than good. He specifically declined to comment on the soaring share price of video game retailer GameStop Corp, which has surged in recent days as the result of a battle between retail investors and professional investors shorting the stock. The Fed chief stressed that the central bank prefers to use macroprudential tools, including stress tests and liquidity levels, to address financial stability risks, and did not think those risks were presently outsized. "We don't really think we'd be successful in every case in picking the exact right time to intervene in markets," Powell said. "We monitor financial conditions very broadly, and while we don't have jurisdiction ... over many areas in the non-bank sector, other agencies do." 'NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT' The United States lost jobs in December, and many indicators of hiring and spending have stalled since the surge in coronavirus infections began in the fall. The Fed said again that it would leave its bond-buying program untouched until there has been "substantial further progress" towards recovery and would keep the federal funds rate near zero until inflation hits its 2% target and is expected to stay there. U.S. stocks fell further after the release of the Fed statement and Powell's comments, with the benchmark S&P 500 index closing down about 2.6%, its biggest one-day percentage drop in three months. Yields on U.S. Treasury securities remained lower on the day, and the dollar ticked higher against a basket of trading partner currencies. "Both dials of Fed policy, forward guidance on rates and asset purchases, will be left on an ultra-dovish setting for 'some time,'" said JP Morgan economist Michael Feroli. "It's a long way to taper-ary," he said of any Fed decision to trim bond purchases.

Wall St Vs Main St Fight Quashes Hedge Funds As GameStop Extends Rally

By Sagarika Jaisinghani, Medha Singh and Svea Herbst-Bayliss Jan 27 (Reuters) - Retail traders chalked one up versus Wall Street on Wednesday as hedge funds took heavy losses on short positions in GameStop, and regulators and financial professionals called for more scrutiny of trading fueled by anonymous social media posts. In the latest skirmish in a week-long battle between Wall Street and Main Street, funds sold long positions in stocks to pay for losses shorting Gamestop, contributing to a slide of more than 2% in Wall Street's main indexes. "We are moving to a world where ordinary folk have the same access as professionals and can come to the same conclusion or maybe the opposite," technology investor Chamath Palihapitiya told CNBC. "The solution is more transparency on the institutional side, not less access for retail." The market turmoil caught the attention of the White House, with press secretary Jen Psaki saying President Joe Biden's economic team - including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on her first full day on the job - was "monitoring the situation." Massachusetts state regulator William Galvin, called on NYSE to suspend GameStop for 30 days to allow a cooling-off period. "This isn´t investing, this is gambling," he said in an interview. "This is obviously contrived." Nasdaq chief Adena Friedman said exchanges and regulators should watch whether anonymous social media posts could be driving "pump and dump" schemes. "If we see a significant rise in the chatter on social media ... and we also match that up against unusual trading activity, we will potentially halt that stock to allow ourselves to investigate the situation," Friedman said on CNBC. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it was aware of the market volatility and working with fellow regulators to "assess the situation and review the activities of regulated entities, financial intermediaries, and other market participants." Reddit has not been contacted by authorities over stock surges driven by a message board on the platform, a spokeswoman said. The war began when famed short seller Andrew Left of Citron Capital bet against GameStop and was met with a barrage of retail traders betting the other way. Citron has been a target for some on Reddit's "Wallstreetbets" thread, where posts helped drive gains for several niche stocks. Left said in a video post that Citron abandoned its bet against GameStop after the video game retailer's value soared almost tenfold in a fortnight. "I have respect for the market," Left said in the post. Melvin Capital Management closed out its short position in GameStop on Tuesday after taking a huge loss. WINNERS AND LOSERS Shares of GameStop surged 135% on Wednesday, bringing their gain since Jan. 12 to about 1,700% and ballooning its market capitalization to $24 billion. U.S. shares of BlackBerry Ltd jumped 33%, bringing their gain in 2021 to 279%, while movie theater operator AMC surged 300% and [https://streamingvf.baby Film Complet] is now up over 800% year to date. Along with Finnish technology firm Nokia Oyj , those companies were among the most heavily traded, with Reddit threads humming with chatter about the stocks. Nokia said it was not aware of any reason for the continuing surge in its share price. Such inflated stocks will eventually fall back to their fair value, predicted Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Financial in Charlotte, North Carolina. "It does have a David and Goliath feel, where the Reddit crowd is taking on the most shorted stocks by the largest hedge funds in the world and winning." BlackRock Inc, the world's largest asset manager, could have made gains of about $2.4 billion on its investment in GameStop. Its share holdings amounted to roughly a 13% stake as of Dec. 31, 2020, a regulatory filing showed. "It's a dangerous game to play from both sides of the spectrum, whether you're long or short," said Matthew Keator, managing partner in wealth management firm the Keator Group in Lenox, Massachusetts. "You get close enough to the fire you're going to get burned ... it won't matter what social media is cheering the stock on." According to research firm S3 Partners, total short interest in GameStop was $10.6 billion as of Wednesday. In the last seven days the short has increased by $117 million, or 1.1%, as the stock price surged. Year-to-date, GameStop shorts have lost $19.15 billion, including $9.85 billion on Wednesday at a $285 share price, according to Ihor Dusaniwsky, S3's managing director of predictive analytics. "These large mark-to-market losses will be squeezing many existing shorts out of their positions, but we are still seeing new short sellers taking their place as they look to short at the top and ride a windfall of profits," he said. Long dismissed as "dumb money," retail traders have made stocks move in ways that defy fundamental analysis. Global bets worth billions of dollars could be at risk as amateurs challenge bearish positions of influential funds. The 20 small-cap Russell 2000 index companies with the biggest bearish bets against them have risen 60% on average so far this year, easily outperforming the market, a Reuters analysis of Refinitiv data shows. Europe's most-shorted stocks also saw big price swings on Wednesday. Experts are debating whether these massive share moves should be considered ominous signs for the market. Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian said the rise of retail investors is healthy, however. "That's the sentiment, the public doing what they feel has been done to them by institutions," Ohanian said in a tweet on Wednesday.

PARIS, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The 2021 edition of the Cannes Film Festival will be postponed until July because of the coronavirus pandemic, organisers said on Wednesday. Last year's event was cancelled and [https://filmvf.baby filme streaming vf] replaced by a low-key event in October showcasing short films but without the A-list movie stars, directors and producers. The festival will take place from July 6-17, the organisers said in a statement, two months later than planned. Hollywood superstars normally flock to the Mediterranean town's "Croisette" promenade for the two-week extravaganza, the world's biggest cinema showcase and a major market for the industry. The palm-fringed town has been a subdued version of its normally glamorous self since the coronavirus outbreak. Many of its swankiest hotels are closed, as are its restaurants and bars.
