Ti West’s MaXXXine is unequivocally a horror film. Following up the slashing in X and the shocks in Pearl, terror and gore are in no short supply, and it unsubtly tips its hat to classics of the genre – from Alfred Hitchcock to Giallo cinema. But it would also be a disservice to suggest that
Near the end of Jennie Livingston’s Paris Is Burning, Venus Xtravaganza, an Italian Puerto Rican ballroom dancer who was one of the landmark queer doc’s subjects, describes a harrowing near-death experience.

From its visual effects to its disturbing performances to its legacy as an early entry in the demonic possession subgenre, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist remains one of the best horror movies of all time for a reason. Appropriately enough, it’s that soup-spewing je ne sais quoi that has made it so difficult for other filmmakers
Joyful? Ecstatic? Elated? Take your pick. Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is on fire at the global box office, where it grossed a record-shattering $100 million domestically and $164.4 million overseas in its second weekend to finish Sunday with $724.4 million in ticket sales to become the top-grossing film of the year after racing past Dune:

I think it’s fair to say Emily Blunt has mastered the American accent. The British actress even earned a 2024 Oscar nomination for convincingly playing the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Kitty. But apparently Blunt has spent so much time in the United States that she’s apparently experienced a change in her accent. Well, at
If being a Hollywood star consists of having either major box office clout or a few Oscar nominations (and, preferably, at least one win), the great Donald Sutherland never had any of those. Then why, since his death last Thursday at age 88, has he been celebrated the world over as one of the true
When I first had the opportunity to watch Dogtooth in 2010, I instantly recognized writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos as a filmmaker with fascinating sensibilities and style, and I committed to keeping an eye on his work in the years ahead… but I never had even the slightest inkling that he would find what can be called

Out of the films I’ve seen on the 2024 release schedule so far, I don’t think I’d be surprising anyone if I said that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has been one of my favorites. Wes Ball’s continuation of the Caesar trilogy timeline is a promising start for the road ahead, and I’m
Hollywood stars took to social media on Thursday after it was announced that Donald Sutherland died at the age of 88.
