Cory Finley’s “Bad Education” starring Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney, one of the best films I saw at TIFF last year, had been struggling to find a buyer ever since its premiere. Most were blaming a volatile and unpredictable movie market dominated by franchises, especially after all those Sundance Box-Office duds happened this past summer. However,

I loved John Krasinki’s “A Quiet Place,” which received critical acclaim when it opened in theaters back in April of 2018 (it even made my ten best list that year), but don’t say that to Richard Brody of The New Yorker

Sarah Paulson has, surprisingly, never lead a big studio movie until now. Mostly relegated to supporting turns during the course of her 20-year acting career, the immaculately talented Paulson has nevertheless shown greatness in minor but key roles in films such as “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” “Mud,” ‘12 Years A Slave,” and “Carol.”

Read moreThe 25 Most Anticipated Movies of 2020
With 2019 firmly in the rear-view mirror, a year in which we saw two blockbuster sagas end, Martin Scorsese claim that Marvel Movies aren’t Cinema, and arguably the weakest Oscar line up of the decade. Let’s now shift our attention to 2020, in which not only do the Oscars come three weeks earlier (a relief for many), but some of Hollywood’s heaviest hitters return. From Paul Thomas Anderson, to Christopher Nolan, and even the return of David Fincher, stepping back behind the camera (for the big screen anyway) for the first time since 2041’s “Gone Girl”. So let’s roll-through some of the possible must sees of the year.

Martin Scorsese had months of discussions with the Osage Nation about turning David Grann’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” into a movie. Scorsese is set to film his adaptation of the grisly murder-mystery novel in Osage County next month, according to musician Robbie Robertson, who will be scoring the film (much like he did on “The Irishman”).

While British writer-director Martin McDonagh, a seasoned and well-known theater director, showed incredible promise with “In Bruges” and especially 2012’s underseen “Seven Psychopaths,” it’s safe to say that his Oscar-nominated 2017 film “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri” catapulted him to a mainstream he was not overly familiar with — nor, I bet, that he really wanted to get cozy with.
Read more‘Fantasy Island'
Consider me shocked, shocked I tell ya, that Blumhouse’s “Fantasy Island” bombed with critics. The trailer looked mediocre enough, but, made on a shoestring budget ($7 million), this Michael Pena-starring horror adaptation of the popular 1977 ABC series amassed a more-than-decent $15 million this weekend at the box-office. Yes, despite the tepid trailer, its embarrassing 9% Rotten Tomatoes rating and 20 score on Metacritic, “Fantasy Island” is going to be a small-scaled hit for Blumhouse. The film barely screened for critics in my neck of the woods, I missed the lone showing, alas, maybe I’ll take one for the team, churn out the cash and go see it tomorrow afternoon.
Cristi Puiu's 200-Minute ‘Malmkrog' Tackles Cultural and Political Clashings [Trailer]
Just for the fact that he directed 2006’s stone-cold masterpiece “The Death of Mr. Lazarescu,” director Cristi Puiu will always be fine in my books, even if it means releasing a film as comatose-inducing as the 181-minute murder-mystery “Aurora.”
