I couldn’t quite figure out why Sony had been hiding “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody” from critics. The buzz hadn’t been that bad.

We already went through all the 2022 Oscar movies failing at the box-office. Some even thought Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” would have legs, but it clearly doesn’t.

Right now, as it currently stands in the Best Picture race, there are quite a few movies that practically look like sure-things for a nomination.

Variety’s Clayton Davis is actually wondering if the Oscars will ever get back to that record 57 million viewership from 1998 — that’s when “Titanic” won the big prize and James Cameron heralded himself “King of the World.”

Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun” is just having such an impressive showing this awards season. It went from premiering in Cannes’ small-ish Semaine de la Critique sidebar to becoming a total critical sensation.

Fresh off her “Happening” winning the Golden Lion at Venice last year, filmmaker Audrey Diwan announced in May she was remaking softcore porn classic “Emmanuelle” with Léa Seydoux.

I had a real chuckle reading about the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC) handing out their annual awards, but more specifically adding the Gotham Awards to their Hall of Shame for deciding to go gender-neutral this year.

I’ve gotten a few emails from Indian readers this fall telling me that they find it very amusing how westerners have fallen head over heels in love with SS Rajamouli’s “RRR.”

The Berlin Film Festival announced the premiere of a new short directed by Todd Field that expands the “TÁR” universe, it’s called “The Fundraiser.”

The madman is actually going through with it. Here are some on-set photos of Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.

James Cameron has been doing press left and right for the ‘Avatar’ sequel. However, it’s an interview on the Smartless podcast that caught my attention. In it he reveals having had discussions about bringing the “Terminator” franchise back to life:

I’m not quite ready to call “Avatar: The Way of Water” a failure just yet. I’d wait it out until next weekend which is when we’ll truly see if James Cameron’s movie has the legs needed to fully succeed. At least, that’s what many seem to be implying.

Back in November, It had been reported that Quentin Tarantino was working on an 8-episode limited series. It was all revealed on Tom Segura’s podcast. Tarantino’s series would premiere in early 2023. Plot details are as-of-yet unknown.

James Cameron is a straight up risk-taking maniac. He keeps swinging for the fences with every movie. The result is a career filled with industry game changers, but what’s the best movie he’s ever made?

A very odd rivalry is being spun by social media nitwits. As you know, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” will be going head to head on July 21st, 2023. Both films released their trailers last week.

“Pirates of the Caribbean” producer Jerry Bruckheimer told AP Entertainment that he is working “working on” a potential Johnny Depp return to the franchise and a screenplay is being written for it.

Breaking late this evening. Here is the officially released trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” A slightly longer version can be seen during IMAX showings of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” but we’ll take this one …

Steven Spielberg is set to receive the honorary Golden Bear at this coming February’s 73rd edition of the Berlin Film Festival.

I didn’t think Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All” was fully successful in its attempt to mix the road movie genre with horror and romance, but the best thing I can say is that it was a fairly interesting concept. It never really felt dull or uninspired.
