Alec Baldwin is going through some kind of mental crisis as we speak, mostly due to the “Rust” tragedy. The last thing an already-embattled Woody Allen should do is associate himself publicly with Baldwin.

Claire Denis is a very instinctual filmmaker, which is always a risk when it comes to watching her movies. Either you get into the groove she’s created or you don’t.

I saw John Michael McDonagh’s “The Forgiven” at last year’s shortened Toronto International Film Festival. It’s a fine-as-it-goes adult drama set at a stunning resort in Morocco.

It’s very hard to assess where Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” is positioned in the Oscar race. It currently has a 63 Metascore and an 81 on Rotten Tomatoes.

There have been plenty of words written about the peculiar background of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now” getting into Cannes.

Here’s a dirty little secret most film snobs will never admit to, let alone even dare think about: Marvel movie directors are actually quite talented.
