There were many wondering why Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn” did not show up inside the Toronto and Venice lineups.

This weekend’s highest per screen average was not “Barbie,” but rather Ira Sachs’ NC-17 rated “Passages,” starring Franz Rogowski, Ben Whishaw and Adèle Exarchopoulos.

Jolted by positive reviews, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” exceeded expectations with a $43 million opening at the weekend box-office.

“Sound of Freedom” is a watchable movie, but it’s not really what one would call high art. It wouldn’t even come close to making my top 50 list of the year’s best films.

The mouse house is already working on “Lilo & Stitch” and “Moana” remakes, but we can now add “The Princess and the Frog” and “Tangled.” (via The DisInsider).

Emily Blunt says the script for the “Edge Of Tomorrow” sequel is done and that she’s ready to film it. During an interview with Josh Horowitz, on his Happy Sad Confused podcast, Blunt says she’s “so ready.”

At this point, I think it’s pretty obvious that Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Gerwig’s “Barbie” will be contending in some of the major Oscar categories. This will have plenty of viewers tuning in since these are two of the most popular movies of the year, so far.

Not many films this fall are as highly anticipated as “The Killer.” What else would you expect? The film is directed by David Fincher, whose best works (“The Social Network,” “Zodiac,” “Fight Club,” “Se7en”) have come to define their respective decades.

A THR report is making the rounds on this Friday evening and it’s quite the interesting one.

I can’t tell you how many emails I get asking about what happened to this or that director. There are so many great filmmakers who haven’t released a film in 10+ years, for various reasons.

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” clocks in at 3 hours, and that seems to be the exact runtime Nolan intended to be seen in cheaters.

I’ve had it confirmed that Jeff Nichols’ “The Bikeriders” will have its world premiere at the 50th Telluride Film Festival this coming labor day weekend.

Of course, McTiernan isn’t the only filmmaker who has come out against the superhero genre, there are too many to name.

David Zaslav is at it again. The man we like to call “The Destroyer” is saying that Warner Bros. Discovery has attributed over $100M in savings to the ongoing work stoppage due to the dual strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA.

‘Dune’ fans rejoice. It seems as though the rumors of Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two” being delayed weren’t so credible.

Happy birthday to Greta Gerwig, who turns 40. A wonderful indie actress, I’ll always cherish her turns in “Frances Ha”, “Greenberg” and “Hannah Takes the Stairs”. Her directorial debut “Lady Bird” was also class.

No, ‘Dead Reckoning’ was not as good as ‘Rogue Nation’ or ‘Fallout,’ but what Schrader doesn’t get is that you don’t watch these movies for the script.

Danny and Michael Philippou‘s “Talk to Me,” a small indie horror film that A24 bought at Sundance, opened with an impressive $10 million take this past weekend.

We can confirm that, if all four films were to be put together, Wes Anderson’s “The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar” is around 100 minutes long. It also turns out to be a little more complicated as a film .

Cinephiles have been wondering if Yorgos Lanthimos has again delivered a great film with his upcoming Searchlight-produced “Poor Things.”
