Here are my capsuled thoughts on Joe Wright’s “Cyrano” originally posted on 12.01.21. The film goes wide this Friday.

I am now entirely intrigued by “Dog,” the canine comedy that critics were making fun of prior to this past Friday’s release. The poster was even preposterously bland — just Channing Tatum posing with a dog.

The uber-controversial “Dave Chappelle: The Closer” was announced to be the comedian’s final Netflix special, even before the severe backlash that followed. Well, not anymore. More Chappelle is coming.

Every 10 years, starting in 1952, Sight & Sound has reached out to filmmakers, academics, and critics all over the world to try to determine the current consensus on the greatest films ever made. Their 2012 poll is most definitely a blueprint that every cinephile should start with.

This past week, the Oscar’s neverending quest for relevance hit a new low chapter when the Academy introduced a new category, the Twitter-initiated “fan favorite” award. We were all wondering how that would work exactly, and, wouldn’t you know it, it’s turning a total disaster.

I was scrolling through this year’s Cesars contenders and, my God, what an abundance of riches we had from France this past year.

I am scheduled to watch Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” next Thursday night. Social and review embargos will be lifted on February 28th at 12:00 PM ET.

I do wonder why Francis Ford Coppola has only decided now, at almost 83 years of age, to finally make his passion project, “Megalopolis.”

You can call it the Tom Holland effect, but movie fans seem to be starving for more of the “Spider Man” star.

When will Hong Sang-soo finally win the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival?

Oy vey. What a clusterfuck this has become.

Francis Ford Coppola already called Marvel movies “despicable,” so we already know where his mindset lies in regards to the current state of American studio filmmaking.

Cannes 2022 is really heating up. I just received some good intel about Damian Szifron's “Misanthrope” being submitted for competition purposes. Will it get in?

This sure seems like Oscar 2023 bait. How can it not be? The trailer for Baz Lhurmann’s “Elvis” has been released and the excess is pure Lhurmann.

The saying these last few years has been, “Russia, Russia, RUSSIA!” A very easy scapegoat to blame ruthless Russian head Vladimir Putin for absolutely everything that goes wrong in the world.

Well, we lost.
