Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio screened new footage at the Annecy Animation Festival this week.

“Elvis” is not the train wreck many will have you believe. Baz Luhrmann’s biopic is a flashy, and does make you feel pummelled by the end of its 159 minute runtime, but it’s not unworthy.

Here we go … This will probably be one of many festival prizes that Lukas Dhont’s “Close” will be getting on its way to an inevitable Best International Film Oscar nod.

I’m hearing that Woody Allen is close to shooting his next film in Paris, possibly in October. It was supposed to start production in Early winter, but casting took longer than previewed.

As is the tradition for many upcoming Christopher Nolan movies, a teaser tends to be snuck into one of the bigger summer blockbusters a year prior to release.

With the release of Pixar’s underwhelming 26th feature, “Lightyear,” there’s enough reason to look back on not just the former glory days of the Disney-backed animated company.

It’s Elvis week and Baz Luhrmann’s biopic of the legendary singer is being released this Friday. It will be divisive, but I really liked it. It’s a maddening work of art and probably Luhrmann’s best film since “Moulin Rouge.”

Samuel L. Jackson has only had one Oscar nomination in his career (a supporting actor nod for Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction”) — how can that be?

The weekend box-office for “Top Gun: Maverick” dropped just 15 percent, adding another $44 million to its domestic tally. That's the second-highest fourth weekend behind only “Avatar” with $50 million.

“Lightyear,” the 5th “Toy Story” movie, and the prequel to the other four, has been somewhat struggling this weekend at the box-office.

It didn’t kill “CODA” last year, so why would Cha Cha Real Smooth’s silent release this weekend on Apple TV be any different? Apple made the biggest deal of Sundance 2022, buying Raiff’s film for a whopping $15 million.

The Tribeca Film Festival is wrapping up. Their awards were given out yesterday and Sarah Elizabeth Mintz’s “Good Girl Jane” won the top prize.

Most press and premium holders received an email this afternoon from TIFF about ticket packages.

Despite my negative take on the film, Emma Thompson could have probably gotten an Oscar nomination for “Leo Grande.”

Watch out for William Oldroyd’s “Eileen.” The film stars Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie.

The Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan starring “Maestro” starred shooting in May. Some were clinging to the hope that the film might sneak into a December release, alas that won’t be the case.
