You’ve just come home after an intense movie night. You watched a psychological thriller or a proper emotional rollercoaster, and now you’re still tense and emotionally exhausted hours after it finished. The best way to fix that is to relax, unwind, and shift your attention to something else entirely. In most cases, jumping straight to […] More
When it comes to movie stars, they don’t come any bigger than Tom Cruise. Whether it’s early days in Risky Business or Top Gun, or later on with work like in Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, or Rain Man, Cruise has underrated range. He’s an all-timer of an action hero, sure, but […] More
Editing is so central to film that audiences rarely notice it. An average feature contains hundreds or thousands of cuts, each one quietly telling viewers where to look and what to feel. That is exactly why the rare scene that refuses to cut stands out. When the camera keeps rolling through a conversation, a chase […] More
Awards season used to belong almost entirely to film and television. Viewers watched performances, followed campaigns, debated predictions, read reviews, tracked guild awards, and argued over whether the right nominee was gaining momentum at the right time. That world still exists, but the way audiences engage with entertainment has expanded. Viewers are no longer only […] More
Alejandro G. Iñárritu is a filmmaker who generates strong opinions, both positive and negative. Ever since winning back to back Best Director Oscars for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and The Revenant (taking Best Picture for the former as well), there seems to be a dividing line of opinions. Is he the auteur […] More
There’s still a fair way to go until the 99th edition of the Academy Awards rolls around in March 2027. But that hasn’t stopped the buzz surrounding plenty of titles that could be in the running for Best Picture. Several titles released in 2026 are hoping to follow in the footsteps of One Battle After […] More
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
Ten years ago, a $160 million bet landed in theaters. Warcraft, directed by Duncan Jones, opened in the US on June 10, 2016, carrying a lot of baggage: a beloved fantasy franchise, a skeptical Hollywood and a fanbase that had waited more than a decade to see Azeroth on the big screen. Today the film […] More
Gambling gives filmmakers an immediate source of tension: money changes hands, confidence wavers, and a decision becomes impossible to reverse. Documentary adds another complication because the people carrying those consequences continue living after the credits. The strongest films in this category examine ambition, belonging, and self-deception alongside the games themselves. These four selections offer different […] More
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
From Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and The Iron Giant, comes Ray Gunn, a retrofuturistic mystery film coming soon to Netflix. The movie follows Ray Gunn (voiced by Sam Rockwell), a private detective assigned to investigate a famous pop star’s possible extramarital affairs, only to discover something deeper […] More
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
