Controversial political commentator Alex Jones’ radio interview with director David Lynch has been unearthed. In it, they talk about their conspiratorial doubts on 9/11 and universal solutions to the problems we face as humanity. You might not have known this, but Lynch is a 9/11 truther. He was on Jones’ Infowars in 2007 to talk about his crackpot ideas which, to nobody’s surprise, fit perfectly with Alex Jones’ theories. Lynch and Jones have appeared on-screen together in “Loose Change,” a documentary that presented a radical thesis: “What if September 11th—the deadliest terrorist attack on U....

A 2004 movie that was critically decimated, “White Chicks” was littered with offensive jokes, sexism, racism, and, really, just the most politically incorrect and offensive jokes imaginable. And yet, it was highly watchable, the same way Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room” or Ed Wood’s “Plan 9 From Out Of Space” were terribly-executed pearls of cinematic history. Meaning, 17 years since its release, it very much is a time-capsule-worthy bomb. Marlon and Shawn Wayans had starred in several movies together before “White Chicks,” they were the “brains,” or lack there of, behind such films as “Scary Movie,” “Scary Movie 2” and the abominable “Little Man....

It’s rare to see a marketing campaign such as this one in this day and age of trailers spoiling key plot points for almost every blockbuster. The latest trailer for “Antebellum,” clocking in at just 42 seconds, continues the hush-hush vibe, we still have more questions than answers, and that’s perfectly fine. Even the official synopsis that was sent by Lionsgate to this site reads like a whole bunch of nothing: Consider me cautiously intrigued for this movie which finds Monáe playing an author from the present day that, shockingly, finds herself shot back in time almost 200 years to slavery era USA....

As autobiographical as the Queens filmmaker has ever gotten with his cinema, it’s also the simplest film he’s ever made. Recounting his childhood in New York, this is a Truffaut-esque story about friendship, tolerance and family. After going for his biggest and most expensive movie in 2019 with “Ad Astra,” Gray has decided to go back to the basics with this one, tackling a multiracial friendship and an ailing grandfather with the kind of specificity that, at times, feels overwhelmingly authentic....

It looks like a visual feast. Again, not too sure about the story, that definitely wasn’t the strength of the first film. You probably need to find the biggest screen in town to watch this one. This comes out in a couple of weeks, all the trailers have now been released, and we barely have any semblance of a plot description. Well-played. Keep the intrigue for the theatrical experience. There are currently no press screenings set for ‘Way of the Water....

Two press and industry screenings of “Babylon” are taking place tonight at Lincoln Square in NYC. Will New York critics be kinder to the film than their West Coast counterparts? The first 2pm screening has just ended and the continuous polarizing reactions have got me very excited for this one. I mean, how boring would it be if it was unanimously praised? That would have meant it wasn’t as insanely realized as I had first heard....

Deadline is reporting that Chazelle’s film is currently tracking to make $18 million on its opening weekend. So, those are pretty good numbers give the current moviegoing circumstances. I’m actually very surprised. Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” a fairly similar 3-hour passion project, opened to $19 million in the pre-COVID days. How Deadline managed to get these numbers I don’t know, but it’s a positive sign for the film....

The movie is going for pure bonkers entertainment, but is it just me or it doesn’t seem like it’s set in the ‘20s at all? The photography is bothering me though, there’s nothing original about the lenses being used here, but it all feels rather very slick. Regardless, I’m sold on its ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ type vibe. The fact that this is 3-hours gives me confidence in the ambition and scope that will be presented here by Chazelle....

Long Island school superintendent Frank Tassone (Hugh Jackman) dedicated his career to giving the Roslyn School District its prestige. With each passing year, Roslyn’s record number of graduating seniors were being accepted to the very best Ivy League colleges in the country. However, Frank has a very dark secret. Immaculately groomed and tailored, with a wake-up morning routine that feels frighteningly similar to Patrick Bateman’s in “American Psycho,” Frank is always there for his students and teaching staff....

According to Variety, Disney has decided to delay the release of Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow” from its May 1st release date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since there is currently no new date, we will have to call this delay “indefinite.” With “F9” and “Black Widow” now vacated from the summer movie season, I presume Disney’s own “Artemis Fowl” (May 29) is next, not to mention Warner Bros.’ “Wonder Woman 1984” (June 5)....

“Greenbrier” is Vince Gilligan‘s movie follow-up to “Breaking Bad.” It will air on AMC but will also premiere on Netflix. No premiere date has been set as of now, but I am told we could expect it as early as December. However, one of the its stars, Bob Odenkirk, spoke briefly about the film in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and confirmed that the movie is finished shooting and is now in post-production....

Poirot is again played by Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green is back again for another jaunt in Agatha Christie’s world of whodunnits. Add in a brand spanking new cast of actors, the likes of Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Russell Brand, Annette Bening, and Sophie Okonedo, and et voila, another guaranteed success for 20th Century Studios come opening day (October 23rd). Will I be first in line for this?...

Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s “Drive My Car” has turned out to be the critical favourite of the big city groups. You won’t hear any complaints coming from me. Absolutely nobody expected this to happen — Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” was supposed to cruise and sweep with every critics group. Well, no siree, the New York film critics kickstarted the momentum just a week ago and Boston got sucked into it today by naming Hamaguchi’s film the best of the year....

Regardless, the Indie Spirit nominations were announced today and The Daniels’ multiverse film lead the way with 8 nominations — Best Feature, Best Director, Best Lead Performance (Yeoh), Best Supporting Performance, Breakthrough Performance, Best Screenplay, Best Editing. Congrats to Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan. “TÁR” finished closely behind with 7 nominations: Best Feature, Best Lead Performance, Best Supporting Performance, Best Screenplay, and Best Director. Congrats to Todd Field, Cate Blanchett and the rest of the cast/crew of that wonderful movie....

There were rumors that Guy Nattiv’s “Golda,” starring Mirren, might get released this year, but I’m hearing it will not be ready until 2023. IMDB has its production listed as “completed,” which, again, I’m told is wrong. This biopic has Mirren playing former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. Last year, there was a bit of controversy concerning Mirren’s casting. The English actress is not Jewish and some believed the lead role should have gone to a Jewish actress....

However, I do disagree with the rankings. I think “Green Book” should be considered the front-runner. Yes, it’s what you might call “safe entertainment” but it reminded me of those old-school Hollywood buddy comedies that just aren’t made anymore (think “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” with much more socio-political relevance). It’s not only one of the funniest, most entertaining films of the year, but it just feels right up the Academy’s alley....

Several movies have been created on a similar theme. The plot of the out-of-control sexpot and her ailing traveling companion is old, but it is still enjoyable for those who valuea spontaneous encounter with strangers. The movie is extremely popular with those searching for partners on the best hookup sites made for people looking for casual encounters. Many also believe that it could very well be a great movie to watch on your first date you find through an online dating platform....

Al Pacino (fantastic in the role) plays Aldo Gucci, the brains behind the New York operation, Jeremy Irons (very subdued) is the Godfather-type figure Adolfo, the ring leader, and Jared Leto (so good) is Paolo Gucci, Aldo’s clownish, neglected and bitter son. Keeping her eye on the prize, Patrizia wants to take over Gucci, with the help of her shyly aloof husband. When Adolfo dies of cancer, Patrizia sees this as an opportunity to pounce....

However, much more intriguingly, to my eyes and ears at least, was that the cut shown at this screening ran around 2 hours and 45 minutes in length. Scott has been wrestling with different cuts for the film, but the rumored runtime does go well with the fact that Gucci is set in the span of three decades. This all lends well to Justin Kroll’s tweet that an upcoming Oscar contender is set to clock in at the 3-hour mark....
