Cannes 2019: Terrence Malick's “Radegund" Possibly Set to Premiere In Competition

March 20, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

All the rumors swirling about what will be selected for this year’s upcoming Cannes Film Festival should be taken with a grain of salt. I was told a few weeks back that Tarantino was almost a shoo-in, I just decided not to post about it without, at the very least, speaking to a few sources in an around Europe (who have been quite credible and reliable over the years for me). So it wasn’t much of a surprise that yesterday THR basically confirmed QT’s presence at the croisette.

Wong Kar-Wai's Next Film Will Be ‘Blossoms'; To Complete Trilogy Started With ‘In the Mood For Love' and ‘2046'

March 19, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Imagine having had as impeccable a cinematic run as filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai. In the ’90s up through the beginning of the aughts, the Chinese auteur delivered “As Tears Go By,” “Chungking Express,” “The Days Of Being Wild,” “Ashes Of Time,” “Fallen Angels,” “Happy Together” and, the peak of it all, “In the Mood For Love.” The unlikely mesmerizing sci-fi sequel “2046” followed in 2004, but it’s been a bumpy, uneven road since then.

Christopher Nolan's Mysterious New Movie Casts John David Washington; Described As ‘Massive, Innovative, Action blockbuster'

March 19, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

What do we know about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming new movie? Well, not much really. We know that it is set to be released in July of 2020, that the script has been written and production is slated to commence later this year and that, today, “BlackKklansman” star John David Washington was cast in the lead role. The last bit of news was confirmed by Variety’s Justin Kroll who also mentioned that “one insider described the pic as a massive, innovative, action blockbuster, which will again be shown in Imax.”

I just wrote this on Facebook:

I was a fan of BlackKklansman, but Washington, Denzel's son, didn't particularly strike me as being an out-of-this-world talent that merited a leading role in a Christopher Nolan movie. Then again, you don't really need to "act" in a Nolan movie as much as just be a part of the narrative gimmick that he sets up for his actors. Don't get me wrong, I do love many of his movies, but they are not what you might call "acting showcases.”

S. Craig Zahler's ‘Dragged Across Concrete' Is Avant-Garde Right-Wing Cinema [Review]

March 19, 2019 Jordan Ruimy
drag-e1551978386364.png

Bless writer-director S.Craig Zahler’s pulp heart for not conforming to what it supposed to be deemed acceptable in movies today. His first two movies “Bone Tomahwak” and “Brawl in Cell Block 99,” were non-conformist depictions of violence raised to the level of art. Casting conservative actors like Vince Vaughn, Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell in his films has irked people to no end; Zahler has been called every name in the book: A misogyniost, bigot, racist, sexist and, really, any terrible term deemed “alt-right” on Twitter. Sounds familiar? Quentin Tarantino had the same issues back in 1994 when his “Pulp Fiction” pushed the boundaries of distastefulness in cinema to create a landmark movie event. Zahler isn’t in the same league yet as QT, but his rebellious brand of avant-garde, right wing cinema is making a mark, whether people want to admit it or not.

The film takes place in 1969 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Western TV actor that, alongside his trusty stunt double, played by Brad Pitt, is seeing his star fade and tries to keep hold of his crumbling TV career. Oh, and they also live next door to Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) — the film takes place the same year the actress, Roman Polanski’s late wife, was brutally murdered by members of Charlie Manson’s cult.

REPORT: Michael Jackson Daughter Hospitalized After Attempted Suicide...

March 16, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Congratulations social media vultures, not to mention the mainstream media, your mob mentality when it comes to the Michael Jackson/Leaving Neverland fiasco has resulted in his daughter Paris Jackson attempting suicide by slitting her wrists [via TMZ]. Oh, and I do need to also congratulate the team behind “Leaving Neverland,” especially hack director Dan Reed, whose only claim to fame will be this hit-piece of a “documentary,” your attempt some kind of fame by making a four-doc condemning a guy that’s been dead for over 10 years now will not bode well when the history books attempt to look back on this part of the Jackson fiasco.

‘Shazam!' producer Peter Safran confirms that James Gunn's ‘The Suicide Squad' is a “total reboot"

March 16, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

I was rather confused as to whether James Gunn would still be directing “The Suicide Squad” ever since his rehiring to direct “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3” — Has that ever happened before? A director working on both an MCU and DCEU movie? Who knows, but, according to ‘Shazam!' producer Peter Safran, Gunn will direct both. That’s good for us, Gunn’s style is how comic book movies should be made, maybe with the exception of a few superheroes, like Batman.
