This is no joke—it’s a filthy rumor! "Cancel culture" has been a prominent feature of our times. It refers to the collective backlash and ostracism faced by public figures for inappropriate remarks or behavior. In recent years, this phenomenon has taken down the likes of author J.K. Rowling, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey, and filmmaker Woody Allen. Under such scrutiny, celebrities have grown in
The annual Cannes Film Festival has just unveiled its official poster for this year's edition. Unlike past years, however, the 2025 festival features a dual-format poster—a first in the event’s history. The visual materials are drawn from A Man and a Woman, the Palme d'Or-winning romantic film from the 1966 festival. Each of the two posters shows a frontal portrait: one of the man and the other of
In a genre saturated with brawny heroes and adrenaline-soaked set pieces, The Amateur offers a refreshing twist: a spy thriller where intellect, grief, and emotional resolve take center stage. Led by Rami Malek in a performance that simmers with restrained intensity, this global espionage tale doesn't try to reinvent the wheel—but it quietly retools it for a more thoughtful, technologically fluent
Everything ages, and the classic shows that once accompanied us are no exception. Back in 2011, a three-episode British miniseries shocked audiences with its wild imagination and scathing satire, etching its strange name—Black Mirror—into viewers’ memories. But 14 years later, when Season 7 was released, many people's first reaction was simply: "Black Mirror is still going?" The show’s reputation
Hollywood mocking itself is nothing new. From Golden Age classics like Singin’ in the Rain and A Star is Born, to the 1990s directorial satires The Player and Barton Fink, and more recent self-referential films like Birdman and Babylon, Hollywood has always been willing to expose its own greed, absurdity, and even tragic downfall — because it has always retained a certain confidence in its allure
Val Kilmer, the renowned actor known for films like Batman Forever, The Doors, and Heat, has passed away at the age of 65 after a long battle with cancer. His daughter stated that the cause of death was pneumonia. In 2022, Kilmer made a brief return in Top Gun: Maverick, but due to throat cancer, he was no longer able to speak normally. His autobiographical documentary Val offers perhaps the best
Lucas.: Since he passed, I've seen tons of clips online from Tombstone. This looks like a movie I'd love. I gotta watch it, in honour of Val
The third season of The White Lotus, which premiered this spring, received a relatively lukewarm response. Its slow-burn pacing, scattered focus, and increasingly routine satire of the wealthy made audiences nostalgic for its earlier seasons—especially the second one. Four years ago, few would have predicted that a low-key social satire show would take the world by storm. But with The White Lotus,
A Social Issues Drama Wrapped in Dazzling Form Netflix, a platform almost synonymous with mediocre content, has finally delivered a major hit. Adolescence is a four-episode limited series starring, co-written, and co-produced by the seasoned British actor Stephen Graham (The Irishman, Help, Swimming with Men). It’s also executive-produced by Brad Pitt—his former collaborator from Snatch—and tackle
David Lynch’s films have long been labeled “mind-bending” by cinephiles. Many novice film buffs can’t tell Lynch apart from directors like David Fincher or Christopher Nolan. But unlike Nolan, Lynch has never shied away from defying logic in his work. His characters often inexplicably split into multiple selves, his timelines contradict themselves, and his spatial designs transcend the laws of phy
If The Alto Knights had been made in the late 1990s, it might have become an undisputed masterpiece: Robert De Niro and screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi, fresh off their collaborations on Goodfellas and Casino, reunite here; the director is Barry Levinson, who had just finished the gangster epic Bugsy a few years prior; cinematography is handled by Dante Spinotti, who previously filmed De Niro in Hea
carlosnorcia: Although I love De Niro and like Levinson and Pileggi, I wasn't expecting much from this one – but now I'm expecting even less. And I was wondering about De Niro performing two characters, so I'm grateful to know that really was a bad idea, like it seemed.Your point about The Irishman being possibly the last great gangster movie of an entire era makes so much sense!
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Wong Kar-Wai’s romantic classic In the Mood for Love. To commemorate the occasion, Wong has re-released the film in selected territories, with a special addition: nine previously unseen minutes of footage. What’s in these nine minutes? Could it be the much-rumored intimate scene between Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung that Wong once said he cut just before the
Gene Hackman is an actor who is often subjected to a certain stereotype. He has long been known within the industry for his tough, no-nonsense demeanor, sometimes even being considered difficult to work with. His two Academy Award-winning roles—Popeye in The French Connection and Little Bill in Unforgiven—only reinforce this image, portraying him as a rugged, even ruthless character. Yet, a closer
Lucas.: I love The Conversation!
First, let me state this clearly: Adrien Brody’s behavior at last week’s Academy Awards deeply frustrated me. Aside from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Brody had been sweeping the precursor awards throughout the season. So, he was quite confident about securing his second Oscar for Best Actor. However, the first thing he did when his name was announced was take the chewing gum out of his mouth an
Has Bong Joon-Ho’s work been gradually transforming through his collaborations with Hollywood studios? His latest film, Mickey 17, makes this suspicion even more evident. In this eclectic mix of scientific ethics, technological determinism, capitalist dilemmas, democratic crises, and class division, all sharp critiques are constantly dissolved by Bong Joon-Ho’s humor. Over the slightly unbalanced
Ishika Banerjee: I very much agree with you, I found Mickey 17 way too on the nose becoming cartoony and goofy without needing to. I couldn't care or take any of the characters seriously by the end and I felt like this whole film was a political statement and one too late.
I have always been somewhat wary of the word "epic," especially when it is used to describe a film. More often than not, "epic" is synonymous with "ambition," and "ambition" is often indistinguishable from "self-importance." We live in an era overflowing with ambition, and the last thing moviegoers want to experience is escaping reality only to find themselves once again surrounded by boundless am
