Lukas Dhont’s “Close” will probably nab an inevitable Best International Film nomination. It’s the kind of film that is not in the least bit “high-brow” and can win the hearts of mainstream audiences and voters.

In a THR interview with Steven Spielberg, the legendary director says he wants to make a western.

A NYT interview has Jennifer Lawrence revealing that she will star in a film adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s ‘Die, My Love’ that will be directed by Lynne Ramsay.

In late September 2019, I made the six-hour trek to catch “The Irishman” world premiere at the New York Film Festival.

Henry Selick’s fascinating interview with the AV Club, published today, has Selick coming off as slightly bitter towards Tim Burton. I don’t blame him.

I had written a bit about this a while ago, but more interesting tidbits have emerged from the Carol/Dolan/Cannes story.

Filming has already begun on Yorgos Lanthimos’ “AND” in New Orleans, Louisiana. Production is dated to end in December. Will Lanthimos have two movies released next year? It sure looks like it.

The great people over at MovieMaker interviewed Luca Guadagnino, it’s really an excellent talk. However, I loved one tidbit that I absolutely want to share in this space.

A woke twitter user has made a very good point in regards to buying your ticket, with your hard-earned money, for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Cannes 2016 was an all-timer edition. It was just one great movie after another being screened on the Croisette and I loved every minute of it.

A24 has decided to release Joanna Hogg’s “The Eternal Daughter” on VOD and in theaters on December 2nd. Why?

This is a good time to ask the readers for their all-time greatest films list. If you had your say in the matter, what would make the BFI top 10 ? Please post your list in the comments section.

I was lucky enough to watch “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” at home this past weekend. A major shout out to Netflix for setting up that screening.

The folks over at Apple TV have been a quiet bunch of late. There’s been radio silence these past few months regarding Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” They did take the time to launch a campaign for the Will Smith epic “Emancipation.”

I refuse to believe Robert De Niro has decided to go the D-movie route in his career, but “Savage Salvation” could be the first step. Terrible title, right? Even worse trailer.

Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale” had its first Los Angeles screening over the weekend. Obviously, Brendan Fraser got another standing ovation from the crowd.

We should not count out Ron Howard’s “Thirteen Lives.” At an academy screening on Sunday night, the Thai rescue drama received a roaring reaction from Oscar voters:

I’m not entirely sure if Chinonye Chukwu’s “Till” will be a certified Best Picture nominee, but it is a good movie with a great lead performance.

Paul Schrader once told me that if he weren’t a filmmaker then he’d probably be writing a movie blog with a couple of capsules and full-length reviews written Per week, ala what Pauline Kael made famous at The New Yorker.
