Halloween changed the horror genre, and then two years ago we saw that people were eager to see the franchise back in the right hands, powering David Gordon Green’s legacyquel to $255 million worldwide off a $10 million budget. Universal quickly greenlit two sequels, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, the first of which was supposed to arrive later this year, but had to be pushed back due to COVID. However, Jamie Lee Curtis says that Halloween Kills is very much about trauma infecting an entire community. Speaking to SiriusXM’s Jess Cagle and co-host Julia Cunningham, Curtis explained: “…
There could be no better person to play a shady politician hiding behind a veneer of irrepressible charm in the new Masterpiece on PBS Roadkill than Hugh Laurie. The legendary Brit steps into the shoes of a politician whose personal life is slowly threatening to tear down his carefully-crafted public one in the forthcoming thriller. With recent hot streaks on shows like HBO's Avenue 5 and Hulu's Catch 22, Laurie seems to have chosen yet another prime project for his unique skill set as a performer. The Roadkill trailer sees Laurie transform into Peter Laurence, a self-…
The 30th anniversary of Goodfellas is upon us, so it's fitting that Made Men, Glenn Kenny's new book about the making of Martin Scorsese's crime classic, was just published this week. I read Made Men cover-to-cover in two days and then read it again for this piece, and what I loved was the structure, and how Chapter 4 (of 10) is roughly 47 percent of the book. Kenny is a notable film critic, and though we've butted heads on social media numerous times, there's no question that I respect him as both a …
Spoilers ahead for Inception. If The Prestige is the key to understanding the films of Christopher Nolan, then Inception is the apotheosis of his filmography. Nolan’s singular heist movie weaves together his two main dramatic interests: time and lies. Set in a world of dreams, Inception uses the basic premise of a heist movie and then bends it to pursue an exploration of the lies we tell together to create something bigger than ourselves and seek the catharsis we can’t achieve on our own. Nolan does this not just in the heist genre, but really making a movie …
To me, Amy Heckerling is the real reason Clueless remains a piece of pop culture iconography. That might not be too terribly original, especially when said on the eve of the teen comedy's 25th birthday. Since Clueless' release on July 19, 1995, the movie has maintained a top spot in the zeitgeist, a consistent and reliable wellspring for quotes, music, fashion, and discussion. It is hard to imagine what Clueless would be today if it had been written or directed by anyone other than Heckerling. I'm not sure if I want to even imagine what that alternate timeline …
There was once a time when actors rarely, if ever, were asked to look into the lens of a camera. But here in the Coronavirus age, we're relying on our screens for human connection, even if it's with a fictional character — and that's something captured with unexpected sweetness and empathy by "Quarantine," the new special episode of Apple TV+'s Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet. Mythic Quest emerged this year as one of Apple TV+'s strongest offerings (it certainly makes a lot more sense than See, anyway); the workplace comedy about the oddball employees of a …
John Mulaney returned to host SNL for a third time this past weekend, and in addition to delivering a hilarious monologue, he has now made it three-for-three in terms of crafting epic musical sketches. The first was 2018’s Diner Lobster, a sketch Mulaney had worked on during his tenure as a writer at SNL but never made it to air. The premise found a diner going full Les Miserables after a patron orders lobster off the menu, with Kenan Thompson portraying said lobster. The second Mulaney musical sketch was the aptly named Bodega Bathroom from his second …
Alfonso Cuarón's Roma was a huge watershed for Netflix. The black-and-white film was celebrated across the globe, earning Netflix awards and Oscars out the wazoo, and even making the leap to physical media by being chosen as part of the esteemed Criterion Collection. Now, one of the Criterion bonus features has made its way back to Netflix: A documentary, more than an hour in length, called Road to Roma, is now streaming on the service. [caption id="attachment_849293" align="alignright" width="350"] Image via Netflix[/caption] The documentary, directed by Andres Clariond and Gabriel Nuncio (Territorio) …
Gremlins 2 is one of the most unique sequels of all time and this classic Key & Peele sketch about its creation might just be their funniest.
Avatar The Last Airbender had a lot of interesting characters, but the one that showed the most growth was Zuko as he went from villain to hero.
Light spoilers for Revolver are ahead. But with a movie as weird as this, what even is a “spoiler”? In 2007, filmmaker Guy Ritchie released Revolver to American audiences, two years after its 2005 European release. On its surface, it looks to be squarely in line with his previous instant cult classic crime-comedies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Like those two, it stars Jason Statham as a gritty, hard-talking criminal mastermind, this time squared up against corrupt casino boss Ray Liotta alongside the eclectic team of André Benjamin and Vincent Pastore. Heists, assassins, double-…
