Welcome back to my Home Movies! This week, we have the super fun and super violent They Will Kill You hoping to hook audiences in a way it couldn’t quite do during its theatrical run. Today also features the new incarnation of Kiss of the Spider Woman coming out, as well as a pair of […] More
It’s here, one of the more beloved below the line categories there is! Continuing a tradition I’ve been keen on for a while now, 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. Sometimes, our newest winner […] More
Edward Norton was, once upon a time, seen as a demanding actor who put forth incredible performances but could be hard to work with. These days, you really only hear about how he’s an incredible actor, suggesting a modulation that’s, frankly, led to a second golden age in his career. His talents were never in […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other […] More
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…some actors just always manage to please you. Seth Rogen is one such example for me. There’s very little he’s done that I haven’t enjoyed, especially when he’s not just an actor, but a creative force behind the scenes as well. One of my favorite comedy actors, he’s also […] More
For my money, Rod Davis Lurie is one of the more underrated filmmakers of his time. Long a writer/director who trafficked in the world of politics, with Deterrence, The Contender, and Nothing but the Truth, for example, he’s since began to explore war. The Outpost was an intense tribute to some heroes in Afghanistan (one […] More
Yesterday was one of the harder days of my life, as I said goodbye to my dog Bentley. Affectionately referred to as the Executive Vice President of Awards Radar, he was my first real pet. I miss him terribly already, and while I know it was his time, as age had caught up to him, […] More
There’s a special relationship brewing between actor Scott Eastwood and filmmaker Rod David Lurie. They first collaborated on The Outpost, which told the story of the Battle of Kamdesh, which ended up being the bloodiest engagement of the Afghanistan War. Now, they return to the field of battle, this time heading into the past, with […] More
Last year, I fell hard for James Gunn‘s take on Superman (that rave review is here). That film had a sense of hope that truly was not just needed, but essential to our current times. Supergirl is not Superman, and that’s okay. As the character says in the movie, her heroic cousin sees the good […] More
If there’s one villain who audiences will always love to see get their comeuppance on the big screen, it’s the Nazis. As such, a World War II film has the ability to be both fun and serious, as the weight of the war can be honored, all while showing a despicable enemy getting dispatched. Rod […] More
When you see Penélope Cruz in a film, you know you’re in for a vibrant and positively stirring performance. As I wrote here when I interviewed her a few years back, she often gets to do some of the best acting of a given year when she’s paired up with her favorite filmmaker, Pedro Almodóvar. […] More
Too often, a sex comedy is treated as low art. Comedy on the whole can be a genre that suffers as such, but when things get a bit raunchy, you rarely see the work have even the slightest air of prestige. The fact that The Invite is being treated as such is just one of […] More
