Apple/Sony After its disappointing opening weekend at the box office, director Greg Berlanti’s 1960s-set Space Race romantic comedy “Fly Me to the Moon” seems practically destined to become a forgotten film that will end up streaming on Apple TV+, where very few people will see it. That’s a shame, […]

Ruffalo wasn’t seeking out romantic comedies when he received the script for one of his more popular pre-Marvel movies, “13 Going on 30.” It seems that his wife, Sunrise Coigney, whom he married in 2000, was the one to encourage him to try out a love story. His doubts were assuaged by a few words […]

Perhaps the most interesting angle from this new trailer is that Beetlejuice and Lydia team-up (she needs his help to save her daughter, played by Ortega). If you’ll recall, the pair are not friends in the original movie. In fact, Beetlejuice tries to force Lydia to marry him. However, Lydia and Beetlejuice were good buddies on the classic […]

In a 2007 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Russell was asked to opine on the then plans to redo “The Thing” and “Escape from New York.” The former became a half-assed prequel, while the latter has, thankfully, after several different attempts, yet to go before cameras. 17 years ago, Russell joked, “They’re remaking everything I’ve ever […]

In addition to starring, Hawke and Delpy also co-wrote Linklater’s sequels “Before Sunset” and “Before Midnight,” which came out in 2004 and 2013. The films catch up with Jesse and Céline in real-time, with “Sunset” revealing what ultimately became of the pair in the intervening years since “Sunrise” and “Midnight” showing what their lives are […]

“From our first meetings, [director] Gareth [Edwards] had us drawing pie charts to break down the acts — the first act, the second act, the third act,” explained “Rogue One” concept artist Erik Tiemens. He added that, even in early script drafts, Jyn’s journey was “always a circle, from our hero’s family home to an […]

Ultimately, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” is … fine? I guess? I wish I could tell you this was either a laugh-out-loud hilarious romp or an utter failure, because then my job would be easier. Instead, this is a more frustrating type of film: it’s middling. It’s neither really good nor really bad, it just kind of […]

“American Psycho” is about an evil man with contempt for the world who nonetheless wants to be part of it and all its shallow materialism. Bateman grooms himself obsessively, chases all the trends his coworkers do, and listens to the most anodyne music he can. When his fiance Evelyn (Reese Witherspoon) asks why he doesn’t […]

“Blade” really is unique in the history of troubled Hollywood productions. So tumultuous was the film’s journey that Ali himself almost left “Blade” altogether, which would have been a disastrous, and potentially fatal blow to the project. In the meantime, Ali has left “Blade” fans hanging by joining the new “Jurassic World” movie — which […]

“Open Water” is loosely based on the true story of Tom and Eileen Lonergan. In 1998, the Lonergans went out on a scuba diving trip on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. During the trip, a headcount went wrong and the Lonergans were accidentally left behind. The crew of the boat did not notice their […]
