For four millennia, the Pyramids of Giza have captured the imagination of any and all travelers who wandered into their plateau. As someone who’s crossed those sands, I can attest that words fail to convey their ancient allure. It’s a sight filled with solemnity and awe. And in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, one of the […]

Joan has a problem. Despite experiencing what is by all accounts an idyllic lifetime of memories and love with her husband Larry these past 65 years, this grandmother and great-grandmother has lived long enough to see Larry pass away—and herself as well in the span of a week. That was the easy part though. The […]

The difference between a successful buddy comedy and a successful buddy comedy franchise is all about chemistry. You can cast the oddest of odd couples as your oil and water gumshoes, but if audiences don’t enjoy seeing that unlikely duo vibe—be it Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte discovering they love to smash redneck-heads in together, […]

Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea, or like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood, it’s safe to say that the November box office has been changed for the better, because it knew Wicked: For Good. If you can pardon us for bastardizing a […]

Of all the so-called “Neo-Westerns” produced in the modern era—which is to say Oaters made after the ’70s—few have enjoyed as much longevity as Tombstone. Released sheepishly in 1993 by a studio so preemptively embarrassed about behind-the-scenes troubles that Disney elected to not screen it for critics, Tombstone was expected to come and go. Instead […]

Filmmaker David Freyne has thought a lot about the afterlife. Who hasn’t? After all, even a self-described quasi-atheist—“I’m kind of hedging my bets,” he smiles—is only human. But Freyne is also the co-writer and sole director of Eternity, which has given him additional insight into the big questions, all while crafting a surprisingly sweet and […]

I am going to let you in on a secret that all Broadway fans know, and a few thousand tourists discover eight times a week at the Gershwin Theatre in New York: Wicked might just be the most popular piece of musical theater ever written, and will surely one day become the longest-running, but almost […]

Stephen Lang does not know why folks respond so enthusiastically when he plays villains. But he has a theory, and it involves you. “It’s probably the eyes,” chuckles the star of Avatar, Don’t Breathe, and this weekend’s Sisu: Road to Revenge. “But when you are an actor, I think it’s almost the wrong guy to […]

On a front porch in a decrepit Appalachian home, a new father and his infant son idle away the afternoon. The proud papa, Jackson (Robert Pattinson), beams while his child giggles at the sky. Neither seems particularly observant of Jackson’s wife, and the baby’s mother, is approaching on all fours—and in tall grass that Jackson […]

There are many reasons to look back on Alien: Covenant as a disappointment. The abandonment of the Space Jockey mystery from the original film; the obligatory return to xenomorph formula by a filmmaker long since bored with it; and the callous disregard of Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw cover most of the bases. Yet a smaller, […]

Depending who you talk to, the most terrifying thing a scary movie can do is continue after the end credits. For film critics in the late 20th century, “horror movie” and “sequel” amounted to verboten words as ghastly as “plague,” “terminal,” and “holiday special.” They were seen as tacky add-ons, engineered by studios desperate for […]

Like a raving alchemist who one day wakes at the frigid ends of the Earth, Guillermo del Toro has pursued the ghost of Frankenstein all his life. The chase to tackle the material is a public affair for the Mexican filmmaker and artist, beginning when he first mused about making a faithful adaptation of Mary […]

Izabel Pakzad’s Find Your Friends joins the pantheon of teen party films with a horrific twist, but while we traditionally spend our time with frat boys enjoying their benders in a boys-will-be-boys-world, Pakzad’s more interested in illustrating that journey from the female perspective.  Amber (Helena Howard), Lavinia (Bella Thorne), Zosia (Zión Moreno), Lola (Chloe Cherry) […]

Screenwriter Will Tracy is not sure if Ari Aster had any direct notions of remaking Save the Green Planet! when they sat down for lunch back in 2019. The scribe just recalls in those blissful months before the pandemic—and acrimony that would make even the 2010s seem quaint—that the Midsommar filmmaker asked Tracy what he […]
