When Paul Thomas Anderson won his Academy Awards almost a year ago now, it crossed off a massive name on the list of auteurs who were overdue to win an Oscar. Every few years, someone notable finally gets their prize. Prior to Anderson, it was Kenneth Branagh and Christopher Nolan, to name two more. With […] More
Welcome back to my Home Movies! Today, as August (and the summer, kind of) comes to an end, we don’t really have much to talk about, new release wise. The highlight of the slate? The Dirty Harry Collection coming to Blu-ray, along with the Blu-ray re-release of The Mauritanian, which I actually was quoted on […] More
Later on this week, I’m headed to Colorado and the Telluride Film Festival. I’ll do my annual Telluride preview post right beforehand, talking about the festival in a more holistic manner. Today, however, as I pour over the lineups of other fests, I have something specific on my mind. Just what might be screening this […] More
Margaret Qualley, ever since I first saw her on the screen in The Nice Guys (and Palo Alto), has struck me as an actress worth keeping an eye on. Early in her career, she just had a screen presence and a vibe that suggested stardom. Now, having seen over a decade of strong work from […] More
Yesterday, at long last, Coyote vs. Acme was released in theaters. At one point, this would have been, at best, an unlikely outcome, and purportedly an impossible one. It really does feel like a real win for cinema, for filmgoers, and for fans of the industry. Especially at a time where the Paramount merger with […] More
It goes without saying, but Ridley Scott is a fascinating director. At his best, few are better. On the flip-side, however, there aren’t many A-listers more capable of a boondoggle than Scott. So, we have a superstar filmmaker who is equally able to make a masterpiece or a disaster. Recently, he’s been on mostly a winning […] 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
As I’ve said previously, when Josh Brolin is cast properly, he can be among the most compelling actors in the business. His charm and intensity mix together to form someone you can equally see as an action hero or a neighbor. That was put to great use last year in Weapons, as filmmaker Zach Cregger saw the potential in Brolin […] More
A Ridley Scott movie can really run the gamut. Sometimes, he crafts a gem. Other times? It more closely resembles a turd. However, he doesn’t usually engage in mediocrity. It’s highs and lows with Scott, which is what makes The Dog Stars such a bummer. This isn’t a terrible film, but it’s not a good […] More
What if Barney the Dinosaur was a savage monster? That’s the central premise of Buddy, the feature debut of Casper Kelly, the mad genius behind Too Many Cooks. That bizarre aesthetic makes its way over here almost completely intact, so if that short delighted you, boy are you in for a treat. Likewise, if it […] More
Andrew Rannells is probably best known either for playing Elder Kevin Price on Broadway in The Book of Mormon or for his 35 episodes as Elijah Krantz on Girls. His film resume is still filling out, with I Don’t Understand You an underrated recent outing. However, his work in Miss You, Love You, a film […] More
Welcome back to my Home Movies! This week is absolutely loaded, featuring three of my ten favorite films of 2026 hitting shelves. Those movies, which obviously are competing for top pick today? Well, they’re Disclosure Day, Power Ballad, and The Sheep Detectives, which really run the cinematic gamut. Also on the slate? Backrooms, Star Wars: […] More
