Back in February, I posted a positive test-screening reaction for ‘Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning’ which was said to be a 3-hour cut.

As Jonathan Majors’ situation keeps getting worse by the day, the folks over at Disney and Marvel have a very important decision to make: will they keep the guy or replace him?

Writer-director Jim Sheridan has built a career off the plight of the Irish working class, with his best films (“My Left Foot”, “In the Name of the Father”, and “The Boxer”) all starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

The game of back-and-forth when it comes to Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” seems to have (almost) come to an end. 

The Quentin Tarantino “Cinema Speculation” book tour continues on in Europe. Next stop: Barcelona, Spain.

Focusing on five hospitals in northern Paris, Verena Paravel & Lucien Castaing-Taylor’s “De Humani Corporis Fabrica” is not for the faint of heart.

Now Puck is hearing that Meyers’ rom-com has reportedly been delayed indefinitely due to scheduling conflicts. Meyers plans to revisit the film in the future.

Jeff Snieder had an update on The Safdies next movie, starring Adam Sandler, Gael Garcia Bernal and Ben Affleck.

Now that it’s out, let’s gauge some of our readers on what they thought about Affleck’s film. I’ve already reviewed it — predictable, well-made, well-acted, never dull. A commendable effort from Affleck, although nothing groundbreaking either. A “dad movie”!

I had already written about this year’s Cannes competition likely having a record number of female filmmakers in its lineup. Now non-fiction is also set to break the trend.

McDonagh told the BBC that state-sponsored censorship of writers is “not getting any better”, adding: “It seems like governments are becoming increasingly more scared of dissenting voices.”

Abdellatif Kechiche will be shooting his next film in Sète this summer, according to that city's cinema management.

A Variety report from last week had hinted that Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” runs “nearly 4 hours” which led a few people to email me about its accuracy.

Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers,” listed as a September 15th release, will most likely premiere at Venice.

We already know that the token moviegoer doesn’t have the most, er, shall we say, refined tastes in movies. They don’t just want to be entertained, but also cuddled with nostalgia.

I am willing to bet that Ari Aster’s “Beau is Afraid” will get an F CinemaScore. I believe it would be the first time that this has happened since 2017’s “mother!” Both films, indulgently personal statements, would actually make for a deadly double-bill.

A little update on Quentin Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic.” The filmmaker is touring Europe right now, he had a very memorable stop in Paris a week ago, promoting his latest book “Cinema Speculation.”

We have an actual big update on Timothee Chalamet and James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic, “A Complete Unknown.”

You really have to laugh at the above headline from Variety. I’m sure they wrote it very purposely. It says, “French Director and Johnny Depp Collaborator Maiwenn Sued for Assaulting Journalist.”
