18+ hour, 53+ min ago   (602+ words) “Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature. The David Corenswet-starring "Mr. Irrelevant…...

1+ day, 16+ hour ago   (774+ words) Earlier this year, Zack Snyder mentioned having seen James Gunn’s “Superman.” Heaping praise on it. Now he’s saying he actually hasn’t caught up with it yet? The short version: "Woman Unknown" was a compromise. The jury deadlocked over "Possible Love…...

4+ day, 13+ hour ago   (624+ words) I can confirm that Joel Coen’s “Jack of Spades” is based on Frances Frederica Montrésor’s 1901 novel “The Alien: A Story of Middle Age.” It’s a ghost story. A gothic mystery. Stone and Parker’s “Whitney Springs” still isn’t finished. The budget has…...

5+ day, 19+ hour ago   (705+ words) No surprise, “Practical Magic 2” is not doing well with critics. We all saw it coming. The first was also hammered with bad reviews. The only reason we’re getting a sequel is due to its cult base and ‘90s nostalgia. Here’s the…...

5+ day, 23+ hour ago   (626+ words) The problem with “Musk” isn’t that it’s boring. It’s that it’s four hours long and, for much of that runtime, has surprisingly little new to say about Elon Musk. In the Academy’s 97-year history, no documentary has ever been nominated…...

1+ week, 6+ hour ago   (632+ words) The announcement and trailer for A24’s “You Can See Everything,” a 174-minute documentary about Elizabeth Holmes made by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, premiered last night at Telluride. Meier also calls the project a “love story,” which might mean we’re…...

1+ week, 23+ hour ago   (775+ words) Originally, Cregger was reported to be directing “Gladys.” He then dropped out. He was also supposed to co-write the script with Zach Shields, and apparently now he isn’t. The mystery surrounding Telluride’s secret A24 screening now appears to have been solved....
