No Content For Old Men

What a year for filmmakers past 80! Maybe you’re less familiar with the Japanese animation king, but allow me to explain his particular appeal to audiences of all ages.

Ridley Scott has a big historical epic out at the age of 85. Should I be grading on a curve? Plus a reflection on Jacob Elordi after seeing “Saltburn,” and the super fun slasher flick “Thanksgiving.”

Nicholas Cage stars as a professor who appears in people’s dreams, but the real nightmare is inside his own head. What’s with all these anxiety movies?

No one does serial killer movies like David Fincher, and led by a career-best Michael Fassbender, this is one of my favorite movies of the year.

Martin Scorcese’s three-and-a-half hour epic isn’t exactly a fun popcorn movie but it builds a world so immersive that it leaves you talking about the history more than the movie itself. That’s effective.

A distinctive look and full realized world aren’t enough to save this original sci-di epic from a familiar, obvious story. And that makes me sad.

In the 2023 landscape, movies are either cinema or content. What’s the difference? Let’s discuss, using for example the new Hulu release starring Kaitlyn Dever!

Few movies want to take on modern politics and technology but this social satire about the GameStop saga takes them head-on. Plus: “A Haunting In Venice.”

We’ve got new movies from Martin Scorcese, David Fincher, Ridley Scott, Michael Mann, Richard Linklater, Yorgos Lanthimos, and many other marquee filmmakers coming this fall. Here’s everything you need to know!

Denzel Washington is in full movie star mode as the vigilante warrior that’s become his late career signature. I’m down to watch him beat up some more bad guys if you are?
