Cahiers du Cinéma never cared about hive-mind or “groupthink”; they live in their own passionate world of auteur-driven moviegoing, and we should all be grateful for that.

Lilly, and sister Lana, have burned many bridges in Hollywood over the last few decades. Studios are reluctant to fund their ultra-expensive and ambitious projects.

Now, of course, it’s obvious that a producer would tout his own movie; that’s inevitable. But I recently spoke to someone who also saw a cut of the film, and they had a similar reaction.

KoreanScreen had asked me to participate in a massive poll of international film critics. The aim was simple: to put together a “100 Greatest Korean Films Ever” list.

Mendonça Filho has made this tense, and infectiously rambling film, a politically charged 160-minute thriller set in 1970s Brazil, which weaves cinema itself into the narrative.

Most people hate on Thomas Jane as The Punisher in the much-maligned 2004 film—I’m not one of them. I found it disturbingly violent, and a total guilty pleasure.

What are the odds this actually gets made? “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin has an idea for a legacy sequel to the franchise, and it’s the most underwhelming pitch you can imagine.

UPDATE: An insane Wednesday for “Zootopia 2,” storming past expectations, with a tally of $40M in ticket sales. This film is going to hit the $170M domestic mark by Sunday.

That Paul King–directed Fred Astaire biopic, which is supposed to star Tom Holland, has hit a legal roadblock over at Sony.

I’m not even a fan of Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” but this is an update that’s worth celebrating.

Here’s some good news: indie distributors are teaming up to deliver theatrical screenings for 2020 and 2021 releases that had their big-screen runs “impeded or nixed” by pandemic restrictions.

The filmmaker “grabbed a pen,” and “started writing titles.” He’s come up with his own 20 best films of the 21st century; Only one film allowed per director.

“Hunger Games” author Suzanne Collins has long denied any direct connection to the Japanese film — a claim that grows harder to buy each time the similarities are stacked side by side.

Sydney Sweeney really needs a hit right now, and coming off the “Christy” debacle, she must be thanking her lucky stars that she already has another film lined up in December.

James Cameron has suddenly changed his tune when it comes to “Ghosts of Hiroshima” being his potential next film. Turns out he only hyped it up because he was trying to sell copies of the book version?

Of course a filmmaker doing yet another slavery drama is going to cast the actress who won an Oscar for playing a slave. This is Hollywood 101.

Although no cast or plot details have been revealed yet, all we know is Johnson describing the story as a ’70s paranoid thriller with “a tinge of sci-fi.”

Penn will not only likely earn an Oscar nomination but could very well take home the award, delivering a performance so loony, hilarious, and terrifying that I’m having a hard time imagining he won’t win.

Here’s yet another remake because Hollywood can’t ever come up with new ideas. There’s a “Baby Boom” reimagining in the works at Amazon/MGM.
