The film aims to bring to life the imagination a child brings to his toys, and it delivers.

May be the most important film of the year.

I can understand why BookTok-to-besteller author Colleen Hoover wrote a book about a bestselling author. And I can understand why two of Hollywood’s most accomplished and talented actresses would want to produce and star in a book by a best-selling author with two juicy parts for women. But ooof, despite Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson doing their best, this movie is a dumb, dull, dud.

An inspiring story of Twiggy’s extraordinary resilience through difficult times.

Rinko Kikuchi is radiant in the film.

Two former military, both with some PTSD, camp out in the Alaska wilderness. One is James (Brad Pitt), a retired special forces soldier, and the other is a scout dog named Odin, who was injured in action and now has titanium teeth and a prosthetic leg. “The Heart of the Beast” is the term for the area, for its distance from the trappings of civilzation in mileage and difficulty, but it is also a reference to the two souls who would prefer to maintain that distance.

“Forgotten Island” is a colorful story about friendship and memory, inspired by Filipino folklore. Jo and Raissa meet as children in the waiting area for the principal’s office. They are very different, Jo (H.E.R.), a fierce, impulsive chaos agent and Raissa (Liza Soberano), deliberate, thoughtful, and academically-oriented. Jo lives with her beloved grandmother, Lola (Dolly De Leon) but feels abandoned by her parents, who have moved to the US. Raissa has a more comfortable life with devoted par

The actor talks about his latest role, about a bureaucrat sent to evict two siblings from an isolated island.

A meditation on violence, grief, memory, trauma, and locating the line between justice and revenge.

Edwards clearly gained the trust of the people at the company over the eight years of filming.

Fall is usually when we begin to get more dramas, biographical films, and potential award nominees. But there are some likely blockbusters, festival favorites, and long-awaited sequels/prequels, too. Note: we have two movies with almost identical names, both action movies about saving a child. Don’t confust “The Runner” with “Runner.”

“Narcissist’s Playbook” is a feature-length documentary exploring one of the most pervasive and often misunderstood mental pathologies in our culture: Narcissism.Shot in seven countries and viewed through the lens of four self-confessed, self-aware…

One of the most unnerving twists of the year occurs about two-thirds of the way into “The Narcissist’s Playbook,” a documentary about people who are incapable of empathy and, because they do not feel love, compassion, tenderness, or joy, often inflict abuse on others to feel powerful or just to feel anything at all.

Writers Todd Bartels and Lou Howe went to Provincetown to retrace the steps Bourdain took as a directionless young man. A few years later, they were on set watching it all come back to life.

In their 2015 book A Beautiful Constraint, authors Adam Morgan & Mark Barden posit that...

Throughout history, man had left great landmarks of culture. These are the places where great people's ideas were born, the Parthenon, the Roman Forum, Colosseum, the Great Wall of China, the Palace of Seyid, the White House, the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal ...and Termite Terrace. Yes. Termite Terrace. For just as Abraham Lincoln was born in the Rubloff cabin in Illinois, so to the simple clapboard building called Termite Terrace, was "the humble birthplace" of one of the world's most beloved...

“Coyote vs. Acme” like its title character, has proved to be unstoppable. This delightful tribute to the madcap and enduringly popular world of Looney Tunes was originally conceived as a humorous New Yorker essay by Ian Frazier in 1990. Frazier was a fan of the publication “American Lawyer” and decided to compose a legal complaint filed on behalf of Coyote against the company that was a serial offender in the categories of safety and effectiveness of consumer products. “Mr. Coyote states that on

Rebel Wilson’s “Pitch Perfect” experience and love of classic Hollywood shows in her first film as director, “The Deb,” with vibrant, ebullient musical numbers featuring an outstanding cast of young performers. It was released in Wilson’s home country of Australia in 2024 but is just now coming to the US on demand.

Genuinely enchanting. More unusual, gently told.
