Saim Sadiq’s Cannes-winning “Saim Sadiq’s Cannes-winning “Joyland” has been banned by the Pakistani government for containing “highly objectionable” material.

Here’s another IndieWire list published this weekend. They’ve decided to rank the 75 Best Comedies of the 21st Century. The goal of this particular list is to no doubt stir up some debate, but I have added my take on it below, movies that had me laughing to no ends.

Filming has already begun on Yorgos Lanthimos’ “AND” in New Orleans, Louisiana. Production is dated to end in December. There have been sightings of Cinematographer Robbie Ryan on the set.

It’s been a little over a month since Todd Field’s “TÁR” was released in theaters, but it’s already making its way on VOD this coming Tuesday.

If “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Elvis” proved that Americans would visit movie theaters again following the lockdowns, that still didn’t automatically equate to audiences flocking to see more mature dramas and the Oscar-bait films that often draw critical praise.

Sometimes a performance just elevates mediocre material. Exhibit A: Jeremy Pope in Elegance Bratton’s “The Inspection.” In fact, Pope is so good that he deserves awards attention for his work as a gay homeless man who decides to enroll into Marine Corps basic training.

IndieWire’s Sexiest Movies of the 21st Century list is filled with quotas and has an all-encompassing inclusive nature to it. In other words, it’s the perfect example of why American cinema has been, in fact, so sexless these last 10 or so years.

We’re all wondering when in 2023 David Fincher’s “The Killer” will be released. I did some hard research a few months back, asking around about Fincher’s latest. I got an assortment of different responses, but coming to the conclusion that it was a 2023 release.

The much anticipated sequel to “Black Panther” took in $28 million last night in previews. It’s only a million dollars short of “Thor Love and Thunder” which opened to $29 million in previews. “Wakanda Forever” should take in anywhere between $150-$200 million by Sunday.

David Zucker is an absolute legend of the comedy genre. He’s the comic maestro behind “Naked Gun” “Airplane!” “Top Secret!” and “Scary Movie.” The man has delivered the classics.

Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” is now in New York and L.A. theaters. Its been exactly two months since its TIFF world premiere where Spielberg’s film was crowned the frontrunner of the Best Picture race.

On November 17th, Martin Scorsese turns 80. Yeah, I know, blows your mind when you think about it. It feels like it was just yesterday that he was in his 50s and entering his big-studio movie phase with “Gangs of New York”.

Now that the dust has settled, and we’ve more less explained why “Saint Omer” wasn’t part of Cannes, some are wondering if Cannes needs to do a little re-evaluating in their selection process. I say that’s bollocks.

The SNL writers who are threatening to quit the show if Dave Chappelle ends up hosting next week should ABSOLUTELY LEAVE THE SHOW. In fact, what SNL needs is a total overhaul because it hasn’t been funny for over a decade. Know what? Don’t let them quit, just FIRE them.

Paul Schrader is raving about Andrea Riseborough’s incredible work in the underseen indie gem “To Leslie.” As he should be. I hadn’t even realized that it was released a month ago. That’s how under-the-radar this small film has been.

At some point in the early summer there was a sense that Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once” would have a tough road ahead in its Oscar hopes.

No, really, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which I caught yesterday, is out of the running for Best Picture. No matter what some pundits are telling you, it’s DOA.
