Interview: David and Liani Greaves Reflect on ‘Once Upon a Time in Harlem’
If you’re paying close attention to the lineups at the major fall festivals, one documentary stands out as being a ubiquitous presence. Indeed, since its Sundance debut, Once Upon a Time in Harlem has made virtually every stop on the fall festival tour. But the mere existence of this highly-acclaimed film is almost a miracle.

Interview: ‘American Hostage’ Cast and Producers Discuss Why the 1970s Drama Connects Today
On the surface, MGM+’s American Hostage is a 1970s drama about two men from very different backgrounds whose fates become intertwined. A popular Indianapolis radio reporter Fred Heckman, played by Jon Hamm, and desperate hostage-taker Tony Kiritsis, played by Giovanni Ribisi, navigate the near-literal minefield of a tense hostage crisis live over the radio.

Robert Pattinson Gets an Updated Performance Ranking to Account for ‘Primetime’ Releasing
As I’ve now said on more than a few 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 […] More

Now, with the movie getting […] More

Night Shoots: What Working Until Sunrise Costs a Film Crew
The hard part of a night shoot is not the night. It is half past seven in the morning, when the unit wraps, the sun is fully up, and a hundred people get into cars to go home and sleep in daylight. Crews have become methodical about that hour, because nobody else is going to […] More

An Updated Ranking of the Best Brad Pitt Performances So Far
As I’ve previously said, Brad Pitt is an old fashioned movie star. That goes without saying, considering his fame, but it also explains why he’s such an A-lister. He just has “IT” and when that’s the case, you become a movie star. It doesn’t hurt that he’s also grown into a very talented actor, but […] More

Interview: Talking ‘The Scout’ with Filmmaker Paula González-Nasser and Star Mimi Davila
Whenever an independent film is made about the industry itself, I’m always fascinated to see what the folks involved can do with limited resources. Audiences don’t always respond to movies about movies, for example, but often it feels like half measures. That’s certainly not the case with The Scout, an indie that made its debut […] More
