Month: December 2023
The Critics Choice Awards is moving back to Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar for its January 14 ceremony, rather than risk asking its nominees, presenters and attendees to cross a picket line at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel. The Fairmont is one of more than 50 hotels in Southern California that are currently involved in a
“Ferrari” director Michael Mann sees similarities between Enzo Ferrari and Adam Driver, the actor playing him in their new film. Hitting theaters Christmas Day, “Ferrari” focuses on a pivotal time in the Ferrari founder’s life – his marriage to wife Laura (Penélope Cruz) is deteriorating and she is unaware of the other family he has
Several human rights organizations have called the war-caused levels of famine and illness in Yemen the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Why, then, is the suffering of the country and its people so rarely discussed in America? Thomas Sadoski, the actor best known for starring as Don Keefer in Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom,” has
Perhaps the best thing that you can say about life in Britain over the last few years is that it’s rarely been boring. And, after a brief lull at the start of the year, the U.K. has once again been the place to be in 2023 for fans of political and economic chaos. And the

This fall marks 30 awards seasons I’ve covered, not only as neutral observer, which is my main gig, but also as a fervent film fan, quietly cheering on my filmmaking heroes who sometimes manage to put their teams on the field. Sometimes they even manage to win. But most of the time, I’ve spent the
The short biographies you’ll read about Hitchcock, Kurosawa and Welles on any list of the greatest directors of all time are earned, but they only tell half of the story. Directors are the No. 1 decision-maker on any film set, while screenwriters serve as supporting collaborators, shifting their dialogue to the tune of their directors’
Netflix has released the latest first-look images from its upcoming “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series, including new looks at Gran Gran, Jet, Danny Pudi’s Mechanist and more.

The baffling dance around the future of Hipgnosis Songs Fund took another turn on Thursday, as the company reported a drop in the value of its assets after a two-day delay. The company’s operative net assets value per share were at $1.7392 as of Sept. 30, down 9.2% from the end of March, according to
“I’m a big admirer of Gerard Depardieu,” said Emmanuel Macron candidly on the set of C’est à vous, the primetime TV magazine, when asked to comment on the downfall of Depardieu, the revered French actor who’s facing new sexual assault accusations and has crystallized a new tide of #MeToo in France. “He’s an immense actor,
Dear fans, please stop yelling “Randall!” at Sterling K. Brown whenever you see him walking down the street. That’s a reference, of course, to the actor’s Emmy-winning role as Randall Pearson on the hit NBC drama “This Is Us,” which ran for six seasons. “It’s funny, people would be like, ‘Yo Randall!,” he tells Variety.
Starting in the 2000s, for a little over a decade, 3D was sold as a value-added feature of moviegoing, even though, with rare exceptions (e.g., the “Avatar” films), it never worked too well or added very much. (I would argue that it subtracted.) In most cases, 3D was a rip-off — a carny-barker way for
With “My Love Affair with Marriage,” animator Signe Baumane creates another dense personal narrative that expresses complicated concepts and ideas in images. Stuffed with irony, humor, Soviet history and musical numbers, her ambitious second feature (following 2014’s festival hit “Rocks In My Pockets”) boasts 30 singing and speaking characters (including a talking neuron that explains the biochemical

It finally happened: All over the spring 2024 runways, there were polos with popped collars, leggings, and, most of all, belts on every single thing, every single way, from Miu Miu to Ralph Lauren. Maybe you remember the heyday of this style. It’s so oddly specific not just of Y2K, but of early to mid-2000s
This isn’t a red-carpet film debut or a charity event, but celebrities are still turning out for it.

A convincing romantic and erotic attraction, we can all agree, is one of the keys to a good rom-com. Do you believe these two people love each other? Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell definitely have that in “Anyone but You.” It begins with the simple fact that both are such splendid camera objects. She, with
“Kingdom of the Blind,” “Little Trouble Girls” and “Wind, Talk To Me” were among the projects which won prizes at the milestone 15th edition of Les Arcs Film Festival‘s Industry Village.

It seems Hollywood’s “sequel-itis” has reached China’s box office too. Despite the country’s dramatic overnight removal of COVID restrictions in December 2022 and film imports quickly restarting with the triumphant debut of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” Hollywood’s new normal in the Middle Kingdom bears little resemblance to its pre-pandemic status. During the three-year disruption
For many families in the U.K., sitting down on Christmas Day to watch the BBC’s annual adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s children’s books has become as much a holiday tradition as tinsel and mince pies.
