During the weekend, I wrote about A24 not being too keen in screening their films at the upcoming virtual-only Sundance Film Festival

If someone wins a Golden Globe and no one is around to see it, does it make a whisper?

I’m really going to try hard not to complain too much about the National Film Society of Critics voting “Drive My Car” Best Picture, but do tell me if I go too far here.

A24 has two films playing Sundance 2022, but their presence this year will not be as prominent as in recent non-COVID years.

If it weren’t for “Spider-Man: No Way Home” then we would have been reading plenty of obits about how this past year was when moviegoing died for good. Safe for Spidey, moviegoing audiences strayed far from the multiplex in 2021.

It is one of the hardest feats in commercial cinema to achieve: producing a third instalment that feels worthy and non-disposable. It’s happened, albeit not quite that often enough.

This is why World of Reel has continued to exponentially grow these last two years. We pride ourselves in reporting tomorrow’s news today.

Adam McKay’s political satire, “Don’t Look Up,” is actually one of the biggest films in Netflix history.

Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch” was released just a few months ago, not to mention he just wrapped shooting his next film “Asteroid City” in Spain. However, he’s already set his sights in directing another film this winter.

In my recap of 2021, I said “of the 25+ years that I’ve religiously been watching and covering movies, I don’t think I’ve experienced a worse one than this.”

Jesus Christ's descent into the world of the dead, also known as his “descent into hades,” is rumored to be included in Terrence Malick’s “The Way of the Wind” — unless, of course, the legendary filmmaker decides to edit the sequence out of his final cut.

Last July’s Cannes Film Festival was a historic one. Especially when you look at what’s happening right now around the world — with the Berlinale most likely going virtual, and Sundance doing the same.

French filmmaker Xavier Beauvois is clearly not a fan of the most recent Palme d’Or winner, Julia Ducournau’s “Titane. He went on Twitter to express his discontent (translated from French):

I’ve been getting some emails inquiring about when Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” will be made available digitally. I’ve been messaging people for a week now and finally got an answer — it seems as though Searchlight/Disney will make Spielberg’s film available in early February with the plan being a Disney+ VOD launch.

The in-person component of the Sundance Film Festival will not happen for a second year-in-a-row and instead rely on screening the lineup of films virtually.

I was hesitant in including Paul Schrader’s “The Master Gardener” on my Most Anticipated Films of 2022 list, mostly because I hadn’t heard of a shooting date. Alas, I’m now being told production on the film will be starting this week.

Variety is reporting that the Golden Globes will not have any presenters at this year’s ceremony due, to well, absolutely nobody in Hollywood willing to present the awards.
