A real shocker. There are some people you think will live forever, and Sir Patrick Stewart was one of them. The legendary actor has passed away at the age of 86. We’ve lost one of the greats.

Ken Russell's ‘The Devils' Extends Theatrical Run Indefinitely (!) After $3.3M Box Office Surprise

Nobody expected a 55-year-old NC-17 movie to be one of the surprise box office stories of the fall. Yet here we are, and this absolutely puts a smile on my face.

‘Sunrise on the Reaping’ First Reactions Are Very Positive

Of course, we all know the rule: take these reactions with a grain of salt rather than treating them as gospel. Still, I will say that the film tested like gangbusters earlier this year, and Lionsgate clearly has confidence.

‘Compassionate Release': Christopher McQuarrie's First Non-Tom Cruise Film in 25 Years Stars Denzel Washington, Taps ‘In Bruges' DP Eigil Bryld

Bryld shot "In Bruges," "The Holdovers" and "House of Cards." That seems like the right fit for what is a smaller, character-driven crime story, and a change of pace for McQuarrie after years of stunt-heavy theatrics.

James Gunn Says DCU Batman Casting “Isn't Very Far Off” — Do We Really Need Two Batmen?

Readers Poll: Best of 2023, So Far … Results

July 31, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

On Saturday, I asked our readers to post their lists for the best films of the year, so far. Many were submitted, and ‘Oppie’ easily came out on top. I want to truly thank everyone for participating.

When compared to our mid-year critics poll, it seems as though “Beau is Afraid” and “How to Blow Up A Pipeline” have far more fans over here. I also love to see “Pacifiction” getting some love, especially since it wasn’t even close to being a wide release. Here are the results:

1. Oppenheimer — 43 votes
2. Beau is Afraid — 28
3. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse — 24
4. Past Lives — 20
5. Asteroid City — 19
6. Barbie — 18
7. How to Blowup A Pipeline — 16
8. John Wick: Chapter 4 — 15
9. Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning 13
10. Pacifiction — 12

Despite not even being released yet, Ira Sachs’ “Passages” managed to be included on four lists. It’s out in theaters this coming Friday.
