The Must-See Action Films by Cannon Films

Casey Chong discusses the iconic action films produced by Cannon Films... If you experienced the 80s and 90s, you probably recognized Cannon Films, an independent production company known for its low-budget B-movies that concentrated on genres like action, martial arts, and sci-fi & fantasy. Cannon started off with a […] Repurposed Stellantis EV batteries embark on a new journey powering an Italdesign-designed mobility vehicle 9 hours ago by Thanos Pappas Stellantis provides second-life EV batteries for the Avathor One. This electric vehicle was designed by Italdesign, a member of the VW Group. The reconfigured modules allow for a range of 50 km (31 mph) between charges. The auto industry is increasingly focusing on finding new roles for used car batteries, and Stellantis has discovered a particularly user-oriented application. Instead of allowing end-of-life EV packs to remain unused, the company is reimagining them for mobility solutions beyond conventional vehicles. More: Stellantis Is Quietly Developing A Tri-Motor EV Setup That Can Self-Power One of the most fascinating examples arises from a partnership with startup Avathor, which has created a compact EV designed specifically for wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility. Adding an extra layer of interest is the fact that the vehicle was designed by Italdesign, a member of the Volkswagen Group. This unique collaboration between Stellantis and the VW Group likely originates from both Avathor and Italdesign being located in Turin, which is also a significant center for Stellantis, housing the Mirafiori facilities and the company’s main European headquarters. From Road To Renewal The process starts with Stellantis brands collecting batteries from retired EVs. These packs are sent to Turin, where SUSTAINera, Stellantis’ branch focused on the circular economy, works to maximize their utility and minimize waste. A local partner, Intent S.r.l., then breaks down the 15 kWh modules and repackages them for new applications. For the Avathor One, the modules are redeveloped into 1.4 kWh short-range or 2.8 kWh long-range batteries, providing up to 50 km (31 mph) between charges, with a maximum speed limited to 10 km/h (6 mph). Avathor / Italdesign What Is The Avathor One? The Avathor One was introduced earlier this year as the production model based on the innovative 2019 WheeM-i concept created by Italdesign. It features a rear ramp for wheelchair access, a pull-out bench, and joystick controls. Measuring just 1,486 mm (58.5 inches) long, this EV incorporates car-like elements such as LED headlights, a rearview camera, and collision-avoidance sensors that detect both obstacles and pedestrians. It can manage inclines of up to 20 percent and navigate steps up to 8 cm (3 inches) high. According to the company, the aim is to launch the Avathor in Italy later this year, followed by Spain in 2026 and additional markets in 2027. Beyond Mobility Aids In addition to the Avathor initiative, Stellantis SUSTAINera is also collaborating with utility companies and battery integrators. A notable example is the ENEL X Pioneer system, which stores renewable energy at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 16,000 tons over a decade. Certainly, Stellantis is not the only automaker engaged in the circular economy with second-life batteries. Other companies such as Nissan, Renault, BMW, Kia, Geely, Jaguar, Toyota, Honda, Skoda, and Audi are also involved in similar initiatives.

After last week's initial images, Lionsgate has released five posters for the upcoming thriller The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig, which stars Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, and Michele Morrone.

The town's name carries a tragic irony, as the horrific flames of the 2018 Camp Fire transformed this arid mountainous area into an unimaginable hell, resulting in 85 fatalities and incurring $13.5 billion in damages. Drawing from stories that surfaced amid the ruins, including accounts from Lizzie Johnson’s detailed narrative *Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire*, the film counters the destruction by focusing on an act of heroism through the lens of an underdog narrative that acts as a temporary comfort amidst the state’s otherwise grim and scorched reality. There is much to illustrate in a natural disaster of this magnitude, and Greengrass, who co-wrote the script with Brad Inglesby, swiftly navigates through burned landscapes to various emergency services and response teams. However, the protagonist at the center of this overwhelming day in November is Kevin McKay (Matthew McConaughey), a school-bus driver who has recently returned to his hometown after burying his father. At the start of *The Lost Bus*, he is still grappling with his father’s death but faces even greater worries: his dog's cancer has progressed, his son is sick and refuses to talk to him, his mother struggles to care for herself, and his ex-wife criticizes his parenting over the phone. Compounding his troubles, he is short on money, unable to persuade his supervisor for extra shifts, and late for a required bus maintenance check. When smoke begins to billow, McKay's troubled situation and tardiness make him the sole driver capable of altering his route to rescue 23 stranded schoolchildren and their teacher, Mary Ludwick (America Ferrera), transporting them to safety. It poses a potential death trap, yet also presents an opportunity for redemption. Greengrass possesses a remarkable talent for portraying disaster—the kind of dynamic, high-stakes action that continuously builds and evolves—which makes it easy to overlook how few directors manage to do it effectively. In the past, Greengrass pioneered a new wave of action films with his handheld, shaky-camera style in blockbuster hits like *The Bourne Supremacy* and *The Bourne Ultimatum*. This approach transitioned into a series of docudramas and nonfiction thrillers, including *United 93*, *Captain Phillips*, and *July 22*. Although his frenetic and jarring style (which may not appeal to everyone) has fallen out of favor in recent years, he developed a visual language that captured the intense, real-world experiences of various terror groups and those rising to confront them. In this case, the adversary is nature itself, and Greengrass finds his stride after setting up the necessary context and backstories. He has honed the formula for dynamic characters, providing them with enough background and personality that the audience feels invested when they encounter harrowing situations. There are ample moments here to keep viewers engaged—close calls and near escapes that emphasize the school bus’s cumbersome mechanics amid congested traffic and chaotic intersections. The unpredictability of the flames adds to the tension, overwhelming the windows and floors, causing the children on board to panic or fall silent in fear. Greengrass keeps the audience on edge not through manipulative drama, but by knowing when to cut, when to slow down, and when to go full throttle. This blend of technique is an art form in itself. However, much of its effectiveness hinges on the characters navigating the disaster. Greengrass is fortunate to have McConaughey, who seems naturally suited for intense situations. As a rare movie star who can don dirt and a baseball cap to fit seamlessly into a blue-collar community, McConaughey conveys the horror through the windshield with a slack-jawed demeanor, ultimately emerging as a decisive leader. He complements Ferrera, who joins the bus somewhat unaware of the impending firestorm while maintaining her composure for the sake of her students. Capturing that dynamic can be challenging, but the film shines brightest when both characters are compelled to step outside their established roles—to scout the fire, secure resources, take the wheel, or calm the frightened children. In a scenario that risks exaggerating clumsiness or anxiety to heighten the stakes, it’s refreshing to see two characters adapt to their surroundings with determined and believable efforts. Greengrass recognizes that the situation is already dire; he doesn’t need to fabricate unnecessary theatrics for emotional impact. One of Greengrass's most impactful decisions is to personify the wildfire, incorporating point-of-view shots using a windswept camera that rushes through mountains, across power lines, and over bustling roads. He frames the flames as the true antagonist of the film, lending a more
