The Telegraph’s Tim Robey agrees with Tarantino. In a writeup, published today, he says Clooney’s last 20 years “have not done a great deal to sustain the stardom.”

The review embargo has lifted on Fede Alvarez’s “Alien: Romulus” and early consensus fits in well with my own sentiments: it’s just alright.

Zoë Kravitz keeps hitting it out of the ballpark with every interview. I love this gal. She’s about to unleash her “Pussy Island” theatrically next week, and with this debut comes a lot of press.

The review embargo has lifted on the film and, surprise, it’s getting all-around positive notices. That 84 on Metacritic will probably, maybe slightly, go down, but word of mouth is all around strong for Kravitz’s film.

Last week, I mentioned how no film will be screening at all four of the major fall festivals. However, there’s many titles that will be playing three of the four fests. Three more have now been added.

One of Jeff Sneider’s sources is telling him that Brad Pitt and George Clooney were each paid $45 million to star in the upcoming Apple movie “Wolfs.”

This corroborates what many had stated to be Phoenix’s odd behavior towards Ridley Scott right before production was set to begin on “Napoleon” in late 2022.

I rarely write about movie posters, unless they’re either god awful or gloriously great that attention must be paid to them. The one just released for Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night” falls into the latter category.

I’m a day late with this one, but Vince Vaughn has been on a bit of a rampage of late. He’s pointing the finger at Hollywood in their failure to make great comedies this decade.

Was there a more towering performance this decade than Daniel Day-Lewis’ Daniel Plainview in “There Will Be Blood”? I don’t think so.

It turns out that ‘Kraven’ was delayed to conduct reshoots which, according to Deadline, “sharpened the characters and tightened the plot.”

Chandor has the potential to become a major filmmaker. His first three films, “Margin Call,” “All is Lost” and, especially, “A Most Violent Year” were all impressive.

The review embargo for Fede Alvarez’s “Alien: Romulus” will be lifted tomorrow. However, social media reactions are allowed. Here’s what I posted on X. More to come …

LaKeith Stanfield will star opposite Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in “Die, My Love.” Lynne Ramsay is directing the film, being dubbed as a “thriller”. Ramsay also co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh (via Deadline).

After what producer Christine Vachon called a “nightmare” situation, it looks like a major decision will be made soon in regard to possible legal action taken against Joaquin Phoenix.

An X user has pointed out an interview Park Chan-Wook conducted with Korean outlet Kino where he actually named the most overrated films of all-time, and he even goes as far as to rank them!

George Clooney is still holding a grudge over David O. Russell more than 25 years after their verbal and physical fighting during production of 1999 film “Three Kings.”
