Campos’ film will be released by Netflix on September 16th. The streaming giant couldn’t care less about delaying titles due to the pandemic, they are relentless in the amount of streaming content they have greenlit for release these past few months. Their fall lineup is stacked with heavy-hitting titles such as David Fincher’s “Mank,” “Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” Ron Howard’s “Hillbilly Elegy,” and Ben Wheatley’’s “Rebecca.”

We already got one great abortion drama in 2020 (“Never Rarely Sometimes Always”), well, here comes another one tackling this highly politicized topic, albeit in slightly more comedic ways.

You can tell by watching the trailer for “Judas & The Black Messiah” that they tried to capture the current zeitgeist in the editing. It all makes for a powerfully driven trailer. But is the movie any good? We won’t know that until its 2021.

Netflix has become the go-to American studio for creative freedom and auteur-driven cinema. It’s not even a debate anymore. The studio system has become a cinematic cesspool of formulaic drivel. Netflix isn’t destroying cinema, rather, it’s actually saving it. Just look at the directors who decided to bring their passion projects to the streaming giant these last 5 years: Scorsese, Coen, Fincher, Soderbergh, Cuaron, Baumbach, Lee, and Bong. And now, the latest marquee name you can add to that list is Charlie Kaufman.

Three years ago, Liam Neeson stated he was quitting the action genre. Now, three years later, and two action movies later (“The Commuter,” and “Cold Pursuit”) Neeson is back, yet again, exposing his “particular set of skills” for an upcoming action-thriller titled “Honest Thief.”

Director Eugene Kotlyarenko’s Sundance-premiered “Spree” is the Uber driving nightmare absolutely nobody wants to experience.

Today’s Orion Pictures released a new trailer and announced, right before its big digital Comic-Con showing on Saturday, that “Bill & Ted 3” is now coming out September 1 on VOD and in select theaters (drive-ins and theaters that are actually open).

Netflix has released the trailer for yet another movie we didn’t even know existed.

Arthur Jones’ “Feels Good Man” seeks to have animator Matt Furie reclaim his creation “Pepe the Frog,” an animated amphibian that has become a symbol of rebellion for many within the “alt-right” movement.

I’ve been dying to see filmmaker Michael Almereyda’s “Tesla,” starring Ethan Hawke as the visionary inventor. “Telsa” had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize, but, despite watching 40+ movies there, I missed this one.

Director Marjane Satrapi’s film premiered at TIFF last year, but it’s been almost a full 12 months since then. It took an acquisition by Amazon Prime to get the ball rolling and now the film is set to premiere on the streaming platform in exactly two weeks.

This was the best documentary I saw at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and it will surely rank as one of the best movies, fiction, or non-fiction, that will be released this summer. There have been rumors have been whether or not some of the film was staged, I wouldn’t know, but, regardless, it’s an incredibly infectious vision.

According to Deadline, Blumhouse has delayed the release of “Halloween Kills,” which has been pushed from October 16 of this year all the way until October 15, 2021. This means the trilogy-ender “Halloween Ends” goes from 2021 to October 14, 2022. Production on ‘Kills’ has been finished for a while, an open letter from the filmmakers involved (David Gordon Green and John Carpenter) makes it clear that the delay is to preserve the theatrical experience for both of these movies.

In “She Dies Tomorrow,” a young woman, without any proof, is convinced that she has one more day to live before she dies. She tells her friends. And suddenly, this anxiety is contagious, her friends start to feel the same mortal doom inside of them. It’s all told in a terrifying way by actress-turned-director Amy Seimetz, whose feature was the best film that screened at SXSW this past March.

Emilia Clarke, aka Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones,” is heavily featured in the new trailer for “Above Suspicion.” Clarke sports a distracting Southern accent in this new thriller, playing a woman in Kentucky who becomes involved with an FBI agent. The film is based on Joe Sharkey’s 1993 non-fiction book of the same name.

David Ayer’s “The Tax Collector” is about the most dangerous ob in East L.A: being a tax collector in the gangster world. In a nutshell, the two main characters in Ayer’s latest action movie have to go from gang to gang in Los Angeles to collect “taxes” for business. Of course, to hit up these violent hotbeds monthly for late payments you need to have balls of steel and who better to play such a role than the ‘Honey Boy’ himself, Shia LaBeouf.

Usually, an independent movie will have to debut at a few film festivals to build up buzz for its release. That hasn’t happened for director James D’Arcy’s “Made in Italy,” which follows a father and son, as they fix an old house in Tuscany, which seems to be used as a metaphor for their own problematic relationship.

Disney had announced earlier in the Spring that Pixar’s “Soul,” which was originally intended to hit theaters on June 19th, would be moving its June release date to November 20th. There were rumors that it could be getting an early-VOD/Disney+ release like Pixar’s previous film, “Onward, and also Disney’s own “Artemis Fowl,” alas the mouse house has decided to go the theatrical route with “Soul” because, I’m guessing here, a) it could spell bigger money and b) it has a legitimate shot at Oscar nominations.

Set in the early 2000s, the lead teenage protagonist in Karen Maine’s hilarious and heartfelt directorial debut “Yes, God, Yes” discovers Internet porn for the first time, but, being a Catholic school girl, it’s probably best not to go such sites because you know, God’s watching.

Ron Howard has been a consistent Hollywood director and, despite the rather tepid Dan Brown adaptations, among other things, he has delivered a few noteworthy works over his 30+ year career ("Apollo 13," "Cinderella Man," "Rush," "A Beautiful Mind,”)
