I don’t care if you love or hate Nicolas Winding Refn, but he is 100% right when talking about the current state of Hollywood. It’s not sustainable. Things are drastically changing and nobody’s found a way to stop the bleeding.

Some are complaining that “Babylon” is a historically inaccurate depiction of 1920s Hollywood debauchery. Of course, these same people are calling the film’s historical details out without necessarily presenting any evidence to the contrary.

Although he’s had a legendary music video career (“Hurt” “99 Problems”), Romanek has also managed to direct three critically acclaimed films: 1985’s “Static,” 2002’s “One Hour Photo” and 2010’s “Never Let Me Go.” That’s about it — three films in almost forty years.

Steven Spielberg has called “Goodfellas” his favourite Martin Scorsese movie. Maybe it’s my favourite as well, I don’t really know, but I have never been able to decide what’s Scorsese’s magnum opus. He has too many great ones.

The good news for “Avatar: The Way Of Water” is that it has somewhat hit early projections and now made $1 billion worldwide after just 13 days in theaters. That makes it the 6th fastest film ever to reach that mark.

Woody Allen has just published a novel of humorous short stories titled “Zero Gravity.” He was promoting the book when he spoke to 'El Intermedio' via video call last week.

It doesn’t look like it’s going to be very merry Christmas for Marc Foster’s ‘A Man Called Otto’ as the film’s embargo has lifted and reviews (save for a few exceptions) aren’t good.

Even I, enormous detractor of “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” find it ridiculous that Variety’s Clayton Davis has Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan at #10 on his Best Director predictions.

James Cameron has been painstakingly trying to virtue signal his 68-year-old ass through the press circuits these past few weeks. It’s becoming ridiculous.

When I compared Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon” to Michael Cimino’s “Heaven’s Gate” last month, I was being very serious.

I don’t write much about television shows, mostly due to not being able to catch up with everything that gets released. It’s either plunge full-on into movies or TV and I’ll always choose the former.

A full length trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s “Knock at the Cabin” has been released. I always look forward to Shyamalan’s next movie, even though I seem to constantly be disappointed by the end result.

Heartfelt congrars to good friend Matthew Wilder who penned Robert Schwentke’s “Seneca.”

Now that Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” is streaming on Netflix, what did you think? It’s currently #10 on Gold Derby’s Best Picture charts.

Last weekend, I wasn’t ready to call “Avatar: The Way of Water” a “flop” because that would have been such a foolish trap to embark into.

Most people are aware that 2019 was a great year for movies and the oft-repeated titles whenever that year is mentioned: “Parasite,” “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,” “The Irishman,” “Uncut Gems,” “Marriage Story,” “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” “Pain and Glory,” “Joker,” and “Little Women.”

Here’s something absolutely nobody is talking about. Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking” was released in eight locations this weekend and it’s looking like a $52K three-day, $71K four-day total. The film was released in NYC, LA, Toronto, Austin and Chicago. That’s pretty awful.

No word yet on whether a rumored Christian Bale has been confirmed to join Timothee Chalamet in James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic, but we do know it is no longer titled “Going Electric.”
