It goes without saying, but Paul Rudd is one of our more enjoyable comedic actors out there. He’s also one of our more enjoyable superheroes. So, whether he’s running around the Marvel Cinematic Universe like with Ant-Man and it’s MCU sequels, or appearing in almost every Judd Apatow film, he brings an everyman quality as well as expert timing to […] More
Star Wars has returned to the big screen! Well, that excitement is certainly what we should be feeling, though it does appear that the magic surrounding the release of a new outing in the franchise has been lost. Audiences are about to render their verdict on The Mandalorian and Grogu, and while I already have, […] More
Bonjour, chers lecteurs! That’s right, the 79th Cannes Film Festival is commencing today. Just like with my Berlin rankings, I want to continue looking back on the previous quarter-century of recipients of the top awards at the “Big Three” international film festivals. Cannes is arguably the most internationally known and prestigious of all of them, […] More
Much like I said last year when a certain situation warranted coming to his aid, Paul Dano is a very good actor. From his early days as a child actor to now where he’s a filmmaker in his own right as well, Dano consistently turns in strong work. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinions […] More
Stanley Tucci is among the most reliable screen presences that we have. Not just an ace character actor, he has a charm and a likability that you just can’t teach. There’s a reason that his food/travel documentary series on CNN, Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, has made him something of a new Anthony Bourdain to […] More
Meryl Streep is a stone cold legend. The most Academy Award nominated actor in history with twenty one citations, to go along with three Oscar wins, her versatility is unmatched. I’ll admit that I often like Streep performances more than Steep films, but even when the movies aren’t my cup of tea, I almost always […] More
Anne Hathaway doesn’t quite get the credit she deserves for being an Academy Award winning actress. Her Best Supporting Actress win for Les Misérables was such a foregone conclusion, the effectiveness of her work has been lost to time a bit. Yet, she’s always an interesting actress to watch (or speak with, as I did […] More
David Lowery is the rare filmmaker who can be challenging and experimental with his movies without losing the audience. Something like A Ghost Story is a hard watch, but one that rewards you in spades. Who else can do a film like that, as well as works like The Green Knight or The Old Man […] More
Riz Ahmed cuts a striking profile in the industry. Not only has he been bandied about as an unconventional choice to potentially play James Bond, he’s been invited into the Jason Bourne and Star Wars franchises. It’s a tribute to his talent that Ahmed has broken down the doors in Hollywood to become a reliable […] More
Our lovable online cinephile pal Nathaniel Rogers is running an interesting poll on his site The Film Experience right now. In the wake of Amy Madigan’s Best Supporting Actress win last month, she not only notched a major industry victory for the horror genre, but she also concluded an incredible comeback arc after a decades-long […] More
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re back! Yes, it’s what I think is actually the most popular series on the site! Continuing a tradition I’ve been keen on for years, I’m ranking the new crop of Academy Award winners. For nearly all of the Oscar categories, you’ll see me list the top 25 recipients of that prize. […] More
As I’ve said on several occasions, Robert Pattinson is a perfect case study in what a young actor should do after making it big in a franchise. Sure, he came to fame in the Twilight series, which admittedly wasn’t much of a strain on his talents, but once that ended, he almost exclusively sought out unique auteurs. Much like […] More
