Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw” is under strict review embargo. The above tweet reaction I posted will suffice, for now. It’s being released in theaters on December 22nd.

No plot details or casting has been announced, but, one thing’s for sure, “Average Height, Average Build” is dead on the water. It’s not happening.

This past March, Adam McKay was pitching a political satire to studios. The film, titled “Average Height, Average Build”, was said to be about a serial killer who gets into politics to change the laws to be more murder-friendly.

I’m hearing Pixar will be releasing their straight to Disney+ movies in theaters early next year. Obviously, they should have never sent them to streaming, it watered down their brand.

In conversation with Vanity Fair, Nicolas Cage claims that he’s nearing the end of his film acting career. Say it ain’t so. We need Cage to continue.

Terry Gilliam has had such headaches in trying to fund his last few projects that he’s hinted about retirement. However, the director is dead set in directing one last film.

Who’s seen Toho’s “Godzilla Minus One”? The reviews are almost all glowing. It made $11 million domestically this weekend, a real success.

As always, Mann is a master at creating atmosphere — you live and breathe the ‘50s, northern Italian milieu. There is so much texture to the film, visually and emotionally, that it all feels very lived-in.

One person who much prefers the theatrically released version of “Napoleon” is its writer, David Scarpa.

Happy birthday to Terrence Malick who turned 80 on Friday. I sure hope we get to see “The Way of the Wind” next year, and all signs are pointing towards that happening.

I’ve been emailing and calling a few people about the current status of Quentin Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic,” which we haven’t heard much of an update on for a few months now. Suffice to say, we shouldn’t expect this one any time soon.

If you’ve seen Francis Lawrence’s “I Am Legend” then you know that Will Smith’s Dr. Robert Neville dies at the end. I was really entertained by that movie, but felt the ending was severely underwhelming.
