During the screening tonight someone ripped ass & sounded like they shit themselves right after a jump scare…. 0.2 seconds later a guy came running down the stairs of the theater & never came back
Probably my favorite of Raimi's trilogy because the main character is at his most entertaining here, and while I find this one's insane tonal whiplash and absurd out-of-nowhere concepts to be utterly at odds with the previous two films, they're silly and distinct and memorable and fun enough to make this film the most consistently engaging out of the three to me.
...but enough about Spider-Man 3.
Here's what I think happened:
LucasFilm originally hired Stephen Daldry to write and direct a Star Wars spinoff movie for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Daldry then wrote a really kickass character-driven narratively-focused story about an older, grizzled Ewan McGregor who has to wrestle with his broken faith as he is, once more, confronted with the challenge of having to overcome and defeat his former padawan, Anakin Skywalker.
And then Solo: A Star Wars Story happened. And it flopped. And everyone at LucasFilm…
A few minutes after my screening of Lightyear started, a mom and a young girl — I’d guess she was maybe 10 or 11 years old — arrived at the theater, and sat down right next to me. At first I was annoyed because I’m a germaphobic weirdo and I like to keep a little space around me at the theater these days if at all possible. This mom and daughter didn’t even leave me a buffer seat. For a…
"I think a movie would not really feel human if it didn’t have some kind of humour in it."
For the latest episode of 'The Lens: A Cinema St. Louis Podcast', Webster University Film Series Director Peter Timmermann joins our critics look at Lars Von Trier's divisive musical, Dancer in the Dark (2000):
Pieces of life are brought together in an attempt to grasp something of life in the inner cities and suburbs of modern-day France. A commuter train appears to connect different worlds, but is there such a thing as ‘we’ in our fragmented societies? Alice Diop's WE is now showing (almost) globally exclusively on MUBI here.
From father-daughter mortality dramas and empathetic docs to psychological thrillers and gibberish comedies, here are Letterboxd’s ten best from this year’s Tribeca fest.
SAN MARINO, Calif.—In an ongoing partnership with Ghetto Film School, The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens is serving as a training ground for student filmmakers exploring careers in the film industry. An inaugural installation of film shorts, opening Nov. 20 in the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art, shows the work of 15 students who pursued the theme of portraiture at The Huntington, a nod to the new Kehinde Wiley painting, A Portrait of a Young Gentleman, now on…
If you loved Parasite’s thrilling twists and turns, there’s a sure chance that you will love another acclaimed South- Korean director Park Chan-wook’s 2016 film The Handmaiden. The director who created the masterful Oldboy, his latest offering is an erotic physiological thriller that begins with a woman who is hired as a handmaiden in a Japanese household. Thereafter, all the secrets of this household come crashing down, one after the other. Inspired by the novel The Fingersmiths by Sarah Waters,…
Through a botanist's quest to discover a new variety of fern, May's masterpiece asks: what's in a name?
From his days as a critic at Cahiers du cinéma, where he specialized in new f/x-driven movies and the hypermodern cinema coming from the Pacific Rim, Olivier Assayas has been a figure uniquely attentive and responsive to the changing face of the world and human relationships, in an ever-more-closely connected globe that revolves around the 24/7 circulation of capital. While no longer a young upstart, he remains the most breathlessly contemporary of filmmakers, even when addressing period subjects. Following the Cannes…
As with our first film The Strange Little Cat (2013), which is about a family reunion that takes place on one day in one apartment, in The Girl and the Spider we again take a familiar, everyday scene as the film’s starting point. This time, it’s about moving house.
Our mini-series of Pride-inspired Friday Night Film picks concludes with Peter Strickland’s kinky melodrama THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY.
