UPDATED: The review embargo has lifted and, just like we predicted a week ago, the performance is being praised much more than the movie itself. “Till” currently has a 66 on Metacritic (based on 8 reviews).

Its been many years since I stopped counting the number of movies I would watch in any given year.

I try not to use the word “woke” in any of my writing because it really limits the conversation and debate.

The film is projected to make around $7 million this weekend.

Some trouble may be brewing for David O. Russell’s “Amsterdam” as its now being reported that the budget for the film is said to be in the upwards of $80 million.

2018’s “Black Panther” made $700 million at the domestic box-office. A lot has changed since then.

EXCLUSIVE: Robert Eggers, who is coming off this past April’s critically-acclaimed “The Northman,” will be shooting his fourth film very late this year.

Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde” is finally available to stream on Netflix today. It is the #1 most-watched movie on Netflix. I’d like to know the percentage of people who actually finished it. All 165 minutes.

Yorgos Lanthimos‘ follow-up to 2018’s “The Favourite,” “Poor Things,” is still in post-production and will mostly likely be released next year. However, Lanthimos is already set to shoot his next one.

As I was watching Ali Abassi’s “Holy Spider” at Cannes this past May, never did I imagine this film would be one of the few from this year’s competition with decent post-fest legs.

Just a week ago, Best Supporting Actress had the most comfortably placed frontrunner of any category. When Universal decided to pull Michelle Williams out and campaign her as Lead Actress, a total and utter unpredictability showed up.

Sasha Stone’s 09.27.22 piece titled How to Fix the Oscars: Save Them or Kill Them has caught the ire of film twitter in unimaginable ways. The hate stems from this specific paragraph:

They decided to lift the embargo a week earlier for David O. Russell’s “Amsterdam.” Not sure why they did that, the floodgates are now open for critics to bash it before its October 7th release.

We are around 5 weeks away before production is said to begin on Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”
