Cinema really needed the viral phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer.”

In today’s culture, you’d expect a film to have absolutely shocking content to get an NC-17 rating. I would have never bet that Ira Sachs’ fantastic “Passages” would be one of those films.

I had previously reported on the catastrophic production of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and now THR has joined in on this unusual story, which actually sounds very similar to “The Flash” debacle.

People are hating on Tom Cruise today for his, they say, “shortsighted” stance on the current SAG strike.

Gosh, did we really need another Atom Egoyan movie? The man hasn’t directed a strong film since 1997’s “The Sweet Hereafter.” Ok, fine “Chloe” and “Remember” were .. okay, but other than those two, he’s been in a major slump.

I’ll be typing out my review for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and hope to publish it later this evening.

The latest instalment of Kenneth Branagh’s detective Hercule Poirot series is “A Haunting in Venice.” Here’s the trailer. The film is set to arrive in theaters on September 15th.

Remember director Martin Brest? He had quite the streak of successful films going in ‘80s and ‘90s Hollywood: “Going in Style,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Scent of a Woman,” “Meet Joe Black” and, his masterpiece, “Midnight Run.” Then he directed 2003’s “Gigli” and it all went to hell for him.

As we speak, waivers are being given out to allow “truly independent projects” to continue filming with SAG members.

The trailer for Tricia Cooke and Ethan Coen’s “Drive-Away Dolls” (originally titled “Drive-Away Dykes”) was released almost a month ago.

A few weeks ago, I had heard that Paul Verhoeven was preparing a new film, set to shoot this fall.

Who will direct the next James Bond? Villeneuve? Nolan? That’s been the pressing question for a few months now, but at least we can scratch off Sam Mendes.

Back in April, I had posted a positive test-screening reaction for ‘Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning’ and that cut was said to be around 3 hours and 5 minutes.

BAFTA has added a non-binary directing category. Their long lists have been divided between male and female. Now, with the inclusion of non-binary, there will be three categories of names to choose from.

Yesterday, we had a new trailer for Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator.” The budget for this film is said to only be $86 million

Benny Safdie has confirmed earlier reports that he will not co-direct the next Safdies movie with Josh Safdie, who will be directing the film on his own.

I really want to vent about “Barbie,” but I can’t, signed an embargo form yesterday, so it’ll have to wait until the review ban lifts.

Talk about praise, Paul Schrader has seen “Oppenheimer” and calls it “the best and most important film of this century.”

Sorry for the misdirection, but I was told Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” is NOT going to Venice. Scratch it off from your predictions. Not happening.
