This is a list of all those great movies that couldn't have happened without The Cold War and the fear of the Soviets.
Armie Hammer and Mads Mikkelsen are set to star in Amma Asante’s The Billion Dollar Spy, which is based on the true story of how one Soviet Engineer and his CIA handler risked their lives to help bring an end to the Cold War. Hammer will play Brad Reid, who has just arrived at the CIA's Moscow station when he’s approached by Soviet engineer Adolf Tolkachev (Mikkelsen). Ignoring the advice from his bosses that Tolkachev is an obvious KGB ‘dangle’, Reid develops a bond and a unique friendship with the Russian, who seemingly only wants to help …
I'm not gonna lie to you: I grinned like an absolute idiot during the entirety of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer reveal trailer. Rendered in muscly, beautiful PlayStation 5 graphics (holy shit this system looks good), the footage is jam-packed with action, implies the moral shadiness of both sides of the Cold War, flips Duran Duran's "Notorious" to The Notorious B.I.G's "Notorious B.I.G." perfectly, and offers the intoxicating, neon lights of Miami to blast through. Plus: Zombies are back, and while we only see them for a second, …

New year. New Call of Duty title. New trailer (on the way soon, we hope.) Activision recently revealed the title of the latest entry in the long-running Call of Duty video game franchise, specifically the next installment in the Black Ops lineup, dubbed Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. With the reveal of that title, fans around the world were treated to a strange teaser video that had less to do with the game directly and more to do with real-world politics, especially the Cold War era.

Thrills, human drama, and moments of humor abound as the true story of two individuals—one a British civilian and one a decorated Soviet Colonel—helped keep the world from the brink of nuclear war.

It's certainly an intriguing development—Cuarón, who acted as his own DP on Roma, seems to be the frontrunner so this is something of an upset—it's worth noting that since 2000, the top ASC prize and the Oscars …
