We weren’t entirely sure what Netflix’s game-plan was in regards to releasing all four of Wes Anderson’s ‘Henry Sugar’ short films.

“L.A. Confidential” writer Brian Helgeland has obsessively tried to kickstart a sequel to the 1997 classic for almost 10 years now.

Most people figured that Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” would win the Golden Lion, and that it did, but apparently there was a block of the jurors who fought hard for Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s “Evil Does Not Exist.”

Guillermo del Toro is heaping praise upon Song’s film, which could get Best Picture nominated next January. The Mexican filmmaker had this to say:

Spike Lee's “Do The Right Thing” celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend and it still packs a wallop. The writer-director’s examination of the racial divide in America is as relevant today as it’s ever been before.

Principal photography on Taika Waititi’s “Next Goal Wins” began in November of 2019 and ended in January 2020. After multiple delays, which included extensive reshoots, the film finally premiered yesterday evening in Toronto.

Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” is a confident debut — a remarkable feat of comedy, satire and racial politics featuring a brilliant performance from Jeffrey Wright.

For 70% of Grant Singer’s “Reptile,” I was invested, and then it gets totally bogged down by a plot twist.

Burton was asked about the controversies regarding Depp, and he seems to be comparing the ostracizing of his friend to Lynch mobs:

I watched Craig Gillespie’s ”Dumb Money”, which tackles this true story, and it’s a fairly watchable affair, but tamper your expectations down.

Nicolas Cage never ceases to impress me with his chameleon-like gift to immerse himself, full-on, into character. Case in point: his gonzo performance in “Dream Scenario.”

Production on Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice 2” started in May and had to be halted on July 14th due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.

I’ll position this one as a “rumor” because it sounds too wild to be true.

Todd Haynes hasn’t even started shooting his next film yet but he’s already implying that it’ll be a button-pusher of the highest order. It sure sounds like it.

It was not that surprising that Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” won the Golden Lion this evening at Venice. It was the best-reviewed film of this year’s competition.

A trailer has been released for “Les Indésirables.” I saw it last night. Fairly convoluted affair. Tonally messy. A disappointment.

Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, “Woman of the Hour,” is such a gutsy balancing act of black comedy and hardcore thriller elements that it threatens to derail at every minute, the fact that it doesn’t is some kind of minor miracle.

Movies that premiere at the Venice Film Festival always get standing ovations. It’s an inevitable thing, sure as day turns into night, to stand up and clap as the credits roll, a tradition that won’t ever be broken.

I’m glad the reviews out of Venice for Michel Franco’s “Memory,” starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard, are good. I was actually looking forward to this one. It sounds harrowing.

The filmmaker posted, via his Facebook, that rehearsals have begun on the film and added to the cast, which already includes Richard Gere, is Jacob Elordi (him again).
