Exclusive: Emmy nominees Jacqueline Bisset (Bullitt) and Dominic Monaghan (The Lord of the Rings franchise) are set to star alongside Dermot Mulroney in Last Dollar, the 1880s-set Western inspired by European cinema that marks the feature directorial debut of William Shockley.

Throwback horror is a huge genre business. Give the Directors, actors, crew, and everyone to work in a time when the genre was in an age when anyone with a blade, drill, screwdriver, or some other implement could wreak revenge. When sexual repression, peer pressure, and social mores were simpler and easy to comprehend. Usher in (not the House of Usher) the Bayview Entertainment’s DVD release of Grainger Hines’s “haunted house” thriller, The Mill (2008).
The film concerns events in an abandoned mill in which eight college kids get up to sex, fun, drinking, drugs, and adventure all in the name of partying. Those heady days of the carnal or in this case, what it tries to do is be charnel. The eight enter a night of horror filled with snakes, wild dogs, tarantulas, and a pack of rats.

Steven Soderbergh has revealed a sequel to The Knick is in the works centered on André Holland’s Dr. Algernon C. Edwards character. The original series ended after two seasons on Cinemax in 2015, but was not officially canceled until two years later, in 2017. There had long been speculation about a possible new installment. Clive Owen, who headlined the first two seasons of the medical drama, had said that he was done at the end of the second season, though the network had left the door slightly open for a new season with a new lead actor. (Owen’s character died at the end of Season 2.)
Now in an interview with The Playlist, Soderbergh confirmed a pilot script has been written by The Knick creators Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, with input from The Knick co-star Holland, who would reprise his role, and filmmaker Barry Jenkins.

We take our lessons where we find them. Too many of mine, I find at the movies. Maybe it’s a generational fault; like others who came of age in the ’60s and early ’70s, I learned to think and talk in film lines. “I know it was you, Fredo.” “Who are those guys?” “Hey, I’m walkin’ here!” That sort of thing.
Lately, I’ve been hung up on not a line, but a title. That is, The Gal Who Got Rattled, which was one of six segments in the Coen brothers’ off-center 2018 Western anthology, The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs.

2018 was a year of tumult, of wild emotional swings from tragedy to triumph. The movies released this year seemed exceptionally well-tuned to the current moment — as IndieWire’s Chief Film Critic Eric Kohn noted in his picks for the best films of 2018, this year’s films were the first largely to be greenlit or developed following the geopolitical upheavals of 2016.
To that end, a lot of the moments that stand out from movies of the past 12 months could be called twists — but “twist” feels too sleight to convey the horror of the ending of the Gal Who Got Rattled segment of “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” or the sadness of the birth scene in “Roma.” It’s more a feeling of anything bad that we fear might happen might really happen, that when we think life is going to zig it just might zag in the worst way possible.

Brace yourself for something chilling. I, a supposedly serious film critic, run hot and cold on the Coen Brothers. Yes, despite their reputation as masters of their craft, I only occasionally fall for their work. It’s incredibly hard to predict too. I love Inside Llewyn Davis more than almost anyone, but have shrugged off some of their classics. All of this is to say that their latest effort, the western anthology tale The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, actually worked for me, so that should mean something. By having so many tones, it makes it almost impossible for anyone who even sometimes digs the Coens to resist. It hits Netflix this weekend and has been in a few theaters since the weekend. You’d do well to check it out. The movie is an anthology of sorts, told in six separate chapters. Chapter One is literally called The Ballad of Buster Scruggs...

Joel and Ethan Coen’s Netflix six-parter The Ballad of Buster Scruggs took the Best Screenplay award at the Venice Film Festival last weekend, and this new trailer shows what the buzz was about.
“First time?” asks an about-to-be-hanged James Franco (at his glib and goofy best) to the doomed, sobbing prisoner next to him.
The Western anthology is a series of tales about the American frontier, each chapter offering a distinct story about the West. As one character says in the trailer, people love to be distracted with stories – “so long as people in the story are us, but not us.”
Written, produced and directed by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, with Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle and Robert Graf serving as producers, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs features a cast including Franco, Tyne Daly, Brendan Gleeson, Bill Heck, Grainger Hines, Zoe Kazan, Harry Melling, Liam Neeson, Tim Blake Nelson, Jonjo O’Neill,...

Perhaps the best surprise we got when it comes to the fall movie season is we were getting a brand-new film from Joel and Ethan Coen. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, once thought to be a Netflix series, is in fact a film and now the six-part anthology feature has its first trailer.
Starring Tyne Daly, James Franco, Brendan Gleeson, Bill Heck, Grainger Hines, Zoe Kazan, Harry Melling, Liam Neeson, Tim Blake Nelson, Jonjo O’Neill, Chelcie Ross, Saul Rubinek, Tom Waits, Clancy Brown, Jefferson Mays, Stephen Root, and Willie Watson, it picked up the Best Screenpaly award at Venice and will next stop by Nyff before a November release.

Thackery (Clive Owen), a physician who works at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York in the early 1900s.

As she picks at her food in her parents' New York dining room near the end of the Gilded Age, the camera closes in on Cornelia Showalter (Juliet Rylance) as if to impart a secret. Reeling from the news that her onetime lover, Dr. Algernon Edwards (André Holland), is married, her downcast eyes are at the center of the image, but another, expressly political narrative is afoot just beyond the frame. "What the [Eiffel] Tower shows to me is progress, that even the impossible is possible," proclaims Cornelia's father, shipping magnate August Robertson (Grainger Hines). "I certainly benefitted from your progressive thinking," replies Edwards, the lone black surgeon at Robertson's Knickerbocker Hospital. "If that's the case, then why are [Algernon's] parents not invited to this lunch?" Edwards' wife, Opal (Zaraah Abrahams), asks pointedly, as the scene finally cuts away from Cornelia's face. "I suppose we have different...

Not to get too political or even too sensitive, but on Friday night, just a few days after bombings in Beirut and during bloody and gruesome terrorist attacks on Paris, it was a little difficult to watch Cinemax’s “The Knick.” When a subway explosion went off in the New York City of 1901, the Knickbocker hospital was littered and overflowed with a continuous stream of bloodied bodies. It’s drama of course, and nothing to do with terrorist acts, but the maimed body count, and extreme level of panic and chaos certainly added an extra chilling layer to the evening’s episode. The accidental subway explosion is of course the same subway plan that Henry Robertson (Charles Aitken) has secretly invested into without his father, Captain August Robertson’s (Grainger Hines), knowledge. There’s something percolating here too with the Robertson’s and their money. Henry wants to sell a...

The Knick, Season 2, Episode 5, “Whiplash”
Written by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Airs Fridays at 8pm (Et) on Cinemax
As I’ve been noting throughout The Knick‘s entire run, this is a show with a shocking propensity for gruesome imagery, and “Whiplash” is the most egregious and stomach-churning example to date.
Of particular note is a series of scenes that shows Thackery (Clive Owen) pulling back the protective layer which covers the brain and prodding it with a series of electrical currents in order to stimulate certain areas of the brain. It’s worth mentioning, of course, that the patient is alive and awake during the process. While the brain feels no pain, as Thackery reminds his fellow doctors, the scene is particularly disturbing when Thackery exploits the patient’s emotions to demonstrate the operation of the brain. While forceps dangle with scalp tissue firmly clasped,...

Now, desperation. When last we saw Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen), he was trying (and failing) to neutralize his emotional and physical downward spiral with opium. But an addict’s an addict — he needs his drug of choice. And so he pays a late night breaking-and-entering visit to a pharmacy in search of cocaine. Unfortunately, he’s caught in the act and is bailed out by Captain August Robertson (Grainger Hines) and Herman Barrow (Jeremy Bobb). “So I think this makes us even, don’t you think,” says the Captain to the disheveled doctor, hinting at the same distant incident Thackery mentioned a few episodes and a much clearer head prior. The mystery remains intact: Though the slimy Barrow tries to dig further into the men’s shared past during a faux-polite conversation with the Captain, he is quickly rebuffed.Yet there is one secret revealed in the very uneven...

Our theme for this week’s recap comes courtesy Captain August Robertson (Grainger Hines): “This,” he says to hospital administrator Herman Barrow (Jeremy Bobb) over a sumptuous dinner, “has demonstrated to me that the next great fortunes will be the result of the immaterial.” The this he’s referring to is the X-ray Barrow has brought along to the meal, the end result of a demonstration at the Knick by Thomas Edison’s people. Their new invention allows physicians to literally gaze beneath the patient’s skin to the bones beneath — a game changer for the field, but in no way a bargain at $3,000 per machine. That’s an earthly matter, though. Let’s consider the other part of the Captain’s statement — namely the immaterial, the intangible, the ethereal space between that which has solidity and substance. What power we’d have if we could master that. This...

A month ahead of its series premiere, Cinemax has seen fit to renew its period medical drama The Knick, from “retired” filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, for a second season of 10 episodes. Excitingly, Soderbergh, who executive-produced and directed all 10 episodes of the first season, will be returning to helm the entire second season as well. News of the pick-up comes just days after Soderbergh revealed that he was planning a second season, so Cinemax likely jumped at the chance to keep him around.
Set in downtown New York at the turn of the twentieth century, The Knick focuses on the doctors, nurses and staff of Knickerbocker Hospital as they push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.

Actor, director and screenwriter Matt Thompson is a man with the same quintessential questions we have about the supernatural forces that have been with us forever. Ten years after his initial idea for the Osiris Films horror movie Bloodline, the film is finally ready for a September 27, 2013 release. A true labor of love guided by gut instinct, providence and daring “just go for it” faith, Matt chatted over the phone with Cinelinx writer Kyra Dawson to tell us all about the experience of wearing 3 hats in the production of Bloodline. Juggling the filmmaker triad of roles -- screenwriter, actor and director -- is a daunting effort that only a daring few are willing or intrepid enough to attempt. Come inside and see what took place on set at Bloodline and find out if Matt believes in curses and possession.

Well now, that was much better! (Thanks to writer Nancy Oliver.) But I really want to thank the delightful Denis O'Hare and James Frain who had me gleefully chortling through half the episode. That's the half without Sam and family, Arlene, Jason, Sookie and Alcide. After a real dark turn last hour, Frain set Franklin's emotions free and he was riotously all over the place. Meanwhile, O'Hare was everything that an evil overlord should be: wry, sarcastic, bloodthirsty, decisive, smarter than and ten steps ahead of his subjects.

Wherever Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) goes, trouble follows. And trouble usually has fangs, fur, or any combination of the two. Sunday's episode of True Blood (TV), finds our heroine still under the protective watch of the werewolf hottie, Alcide (Joe Manganiello), as they narrowly escape the rival wolf pack lair, where they watched his ex, Debbie (Brit Morgan) branded into the service of the King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare). Again I am amazed at the splendid casting this show has managed to procure. Nearly every roll is exactly cast buy an actor or actress who fits my imagination of the book characters. They hit a new level of awesome with casting Manganiello as Alcide. Anyway, Sookie wants Alcide to continue helping her get closer to the vampire who branded all those wolves in the club, but he wants to consult his "pack master," Colonel Flood (Grainger Hines) first.
