Wes Anderson is among the most creative directors out there, a true auteur with a distinctive style. His films, including The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Fantasic Mr Fox, are often quirky, color-drenched, full of cultural references and even whimsical but also deeply human. While not everyone loves their unique style, he has many fans, including this writer. Anderson’s last film, The French Dispatch, was an anthology inspired by the New Yorker magazine, and while Anderson’s newest, Asteroid City, is not an anthology, it’s a story-within-a-story format evokes some of that as does its deadpan off-kilter comedy – but here with an Atomic Age slant, of 1950s candy colors,...

Sitting backstage at a club on the outskirts of Nashville last week, 49 Winchester lead singer/guitarist Isaac Gibson took a moment to collect himself before an intimate showcase at the “Rolling Stone Writers’ Room” presented by George Dickel Bourbon.
“I grew up in a pretty poor, blue-collar Appalachian household, one where you really had to work hard for anything that was worth anything,” Gibson tells Rolling Stone. “It’s that ‘put on your hard hat and let’s get to work’ kind of thing. And we do the same thing...

There's a lot that can be said about Tina Turner. The music legend, who passed away on May 24th at the age of 83, had been dubbed the "Queen of Rock n' Roll" thanks to her huge impact on that genre while rising to prominence during the '50s and '60s. Her fit, impressive figure became so famous all by itself that she allegedly had her legs insured for $3.2 million. One of her first and biggest hit songs, "Proud Mary," became a hit that dwarfed the original version by Credence Clearwater Revival. Above all else, Turner was a consummate performer.
Given that, it's a crying shame that she graced the silver screen a mere handful of times, and most of those appearances were as herself. No matter who she was playing, Turner showed up and dug into the performance with as much spirit and professionalism as any of her live shows,...

George Miller's "The Road Warrior" (aka "Mad Max 2") is a perfect action movie from a filmmaker unencumbered by convention. The film opens with a hallucinatory, newsreel-like recap of the first movie shot in the boxy academy ratio. This sequence reframes the post-apocalyptic realism of "Mad Max" as the stuff of cinematic myth. Mel Gibson's Max is no longer just a cop driven to extrajudicial means due to the murder of his family. He's a man of the Outback, a hard-driving drifter in search of petrol and food. And once this prelude concludes, we are thrust into the widescreen expanse of Max's open-road existence. It's one of the most exhilarating transitions in the whole of cinema history.
"The Road Warrior" was also a global hit, which necessitated a third film. "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" would be a full-scale studio production with twice the budget of the previous movie.

Tina Turner, one of the greatest singers of all time, is dead at 83. Deadline reports she “died today after a long illness at her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland.” Mere words can’t do justice to what an absolute legend she was, with a career that made her a top draw that spanned generations. She was a household name if you were a child of the 80s, but guess what? She was also a household name in the 60s, 70s, 90s and 2000s too. Arguably her greatest period as a solo artist was the eighties when the former soul diva reimagined herself as a rock goddess, topping the charts with a string of iconic hits, including “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “Private Dancer,” “The Best,” “Better Be Good to Me” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero.” That last song was the lead single off the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome soundtrack,...

There isn’t much mercy in Mercy but there is a lot of action and stunt in this crime thriller set in a hospital, starring Leah Gibson (Jessica Jones), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Vikings) and Jon Voight (Coming Home).
Leah Gibson plays a surgeon at Mercy hospital, a former military doctor in the Afghanistan War, who finds herself caught in difficult spot when the wounded son of an Irish mafia leader (Jon Voight) is brought to her hospital, and the Irish mafia seize control of the hospital. As the mafia head and his hot-headed son (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) battle FBI agents guarding the wounded man, the doctor finds herself, and her young son, caught in the crossfire, forcing her to call upon her battlefield past.

So, I stated in a review from a couple of weeks ago that the Summer movie season has officially begun with the early May foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And just when does the movie madness kick in, where’s the big action blockbusters? Well, it goes full-throttle right now as we shift (see what I’m doing here) from the MCU to the F&fu (maybe I should leave off that last letter). We can officially call this one of our most enduring film franchises as it’s now well over 21 (so don’t imbibe before sliding into the driver’s seat). This weekend, and for a few weeks thereafter, action enthusiasts will buckle up at the multiplex for Fast X. And man, you can pop your corn on those searing engines.

Die Hard came out thirty-five years ago and we’re still seeing a steady stream of knock-offs rip-offs and cash-ins arriving. Case in point, Mercy, which like last year’s Assault on Va-33 puts a hospital under siege. Can the filmmakers deliver an entertaining action film, or is this, like so many other similar films, Doa?
While serving in Afghanistan Dr. Michelle Miller had her husband turn up as a patient in her field hospital, worse he had a bomb strapped to him. This leads to an agonized, and agonizing, exchange of dialogue “Get out Michelle, somebody’s got to be there for Bobby!” “No, I’m not leaving you!” followed by Frank rolling off the table so his detonation somehow doesn’t kill her.

You may recall that the last entry in the Fast and Furious saga, 2021’s F9, featured a sequence in which two of the Avengers our heroes—the comic foils Tyrese Gibson and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges—drove a car into outer space. There is not anything quite as wacky as that in the 10th and latest installment, Fast X, but there are still plenty of reality-defying stunts that keep this franchise from returning to Earth in any fashion that’s recognizably rooted in reality.
Still, back in F9, one got the sense that the film was at least leaning into its sheer ridiculousness, which made it more palatable and entertaining. With one notable exception, however, Dominic Toretto’s much-discussed Family is now taking itself far too seriously. As a result, the 141-minute movie is a fairly lumbering and tedious sit.

Mel Gibson and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson are ready to show the world they’re bad to the bone with Boneyard. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. The duo’s true crime thriller project is heading to the Cannes market, with Lionsgate leading the charge for another hot silver-screen serial killer story. Boneyard is currently in production with Asif Akbar (The Commando) directing from a script he co-wrote with Vincent E. McDaniel, Hank Byrd, and Koji Steven Sakai from a story by McDaniel. Colin Bates, Vincent E. McDaniel, Asif Akbar, and Roy Scott Macfarland produce.
According to Deadline, Boneyard revolves around FBI Special Agent Petrovick (Gibson), who “is recruited to profile the serial killer responsible for the infamous “boneyard” killings, after Police Chief Carter (Jackson) discovers the remains of eleven women. As the police force, narcotics agency, and FBI lock horns, a tangled web of intrigue turns everyone into a suspect.” If this story sounds familiar,...

With a $418 million worldwide gross, "John Wick: Chapter 4" confirmed that Keanu Reeves' action saga is a bonafide blockbuster franchise. But Lionsgate, the studio behind the Wick movies, has known this for some time. This is why the long-gestating spin-offs have been gestating for so long. We're getting the Ana De Armas-starring spin-off movie "Ballerina" in June 2024, and before that, a three-part prequel series entitled "The Continental."
And while it's taken considerable time for the latter to arrive, we're finally in the home stretch, with Peacock — the platform that will host the show — releasing a trailer in April 2023 that revealed "The Continental" would debut in September of this year. Set in 1970s New York, the series will focus on a young version of Ian McShane's Winston, this time played by Colin Woodell, as he vies for control of the Continental hotel — a refuge for assassins worldwide.

The ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike casts a cloud over what otherwise promises to be a solid Cannes film market. Most buyers and sellers came out of Berlin this year “cautiously optimistic” as the (partial) resurgence of the theatrical market alongside a slowly but steadily growing digital ancillary business offers reason to believe reports of the death of the indie industry — widespread in the wake of the Covid theater shutdowns — have been greatly exaggerated.
“I see the investment by Amazon and Apple TV in the theatrical business as a real positive,” says David Garrett of Mister Smith Entertainment, “because it shows they recognize the real value of the theatrical experience.” Amazon’s success with Ben Affleck’s sports-marketing biopic Air, which grossed upwards of $80 million worldwide in theaters before going out online, bodes well for the upcoming rollout of Apple’s Cannes title Killers of the Flower Moon from Martin Scorsese,...

Hollywood came to the Colosseum on Friday evening (local time) as ‘Fast X’, the tenth movie of the ‘Fast & Furious’, held a star-studded ‘Road to Rome’ premiere, ‘Variety’ reports. Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno and a host of other talents prancing on a red carpet rolled out in the Forum’s Temple of Venus, with the historical landmark as a backdrop, ‘Variety’ adds.
The social media embargo expired after the Rome premiere, and people who were lucky enough to see ‘Fast X’ a week ahead of its stateside theatrical debut on May 19 are calling the movie “stupidly entertaining”, a “visual spectacle” and declaring that it puts the franchise “back on track”.
Others praise Jason Momoa’s performance as the main villain, but admit there are also some “clunky elements” to the movie.

Hollywood is littered with unlikely casting stories. It has become less and less common for unknown actors to break out in starring movie roles these days since those are mostly going to established names. If you want to break in, you pretty much gotta make your name on a TV or streaming series first, but when you do hear about these iconic roles, most of the time there's a good story behind how these stars landed their breakout part.
There's Johnny Depp driving his friend to the audition for this little horror movie called "A Nightmare on Elm Street" where he ended up reading for and getting the part of the final girl's boyfriend, or how Ke Huy Quan was found by Spielberg for "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" when the crew was combing Los Angeles-area schools for kids right for the part and even then they first auditioned Quan's brother.

Lionsgate has nabbed global distribution for “Flight Risk,” an action-thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Mel Gibson. This will mark the first film Gibson has directed since his blockbuster ($175 million on a $40 million budget) and Oscar-nominated “Hacksaw Ridge” in 2016. The mini-major will be launching the project, featuring Wahlberg as a pilot transporting a dangerous criminal for trial, at Cannes.
“We love the undeniable electric pairing of Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg,” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Joe Drake said. “These world-class talents combining for this dynamic, character-driven film will make ‘Flight Risk’ one of the most suspense-filled, must-see events of the year.”
Wahlberg and Gibson have starred in a few projects together, including “Daddy’s Home 2” and last year’s faith-based “Father Stu.” Considering the number of high-concept or true-story action movies Wahlberg has made with director Peter Berg over the last decade, it is a mild surprise that Gibson will be in charge.

Lionsgate’s John Wick franchise introduced an aspect of the plot that could make it challenging to continue the series, but since when has a bump in the road kept Hollywood from keeping the money train on the tracks? Lionsgate executives recently got a first look at Ballerina, the John Wick spinoff starring Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, and the late Lance Reddick. With optimism in the air, creatives wonder how long they can keep the franchise going after Ballerina, and the John Wick prequel series, The Continental, take center stage. According to The Continental producer Basil Iwanyk, we’ll know more by September. Still, that won’t keep him from commenting on where the franchise could go after the shocking finale of John Wick: Chapter 4.

The photo sees the three stars in period dress, with Groff wearing a blue waistcoat and tails, while Gatwa is adorned in red velvet. Gibson sports a yellow-golden dress with long, silk gloves. BBC/Twitter “I am so thrilled to jump into the extraordinary mind of Russell T Davies and watch the incredible Ncuti Gatwa soar in this iconic role!” Groff said in...

The BBC has unveiled a new look at “Doctor Who” stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson.
Gatwa, who’s playing the 15th Doctor, and Gibson’s Ruby Sunday are clad head to toe in ‘60s garb in a series of new photos revealed Thursday. The broadcaster is keeping mum on any additional details about the shoot, other than the fact that filming is now underway on the “Doctor Who” special that features the pair.
The BBC revealed the official first images of its new Doctor and Ruby in December. The first look photographs included a solo shot of Gatwa in a cozy orange sweater and patterned coat, as well as a duo shot with him and his companion Ruby Sunday.
“Doctor Who” returns in November with three special episodes to coincide with the 60th anniversary with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor.

Dragged Across Concrete is currently the number two streaming movie on Netflix, meaning that an entire potential new audience is discovering writer-director S. Craig Zahler’s rough, take-no-prisoners 2019 crime epic. The film’s two problematic leads, Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson, play longtime friends turned cops Anthony Lurasetti and Brett Ridgeman, who get involved in robbing a professional thief after being suspended from duty for viciously beating a drug dealer.
Desperate for money after their suspension, the two cops are soon in the midst of a disastrously escalating battle with the thief and his henchmen, with allegiances switching throughout. Through it all only Lurasetti and Ridgeman remain steadfastly loyal to each other, even as they descend into an extremely murky moral gray zone that leaves no one—not even the ostensible “good guys”—untouched.
We say “ostensible” because Lurasetti and Ridgeman are far from heroes. Reactionary cops who long for...

London, March 30 (Ians) Having given the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 a miss as he is yet to recover from an injury, England international Jonny Bairstow wants to keep wicket for Yorkshire when he returns to action ahead of The Ashes.
Bairstow is out of action since breaking his leg on a golf course in September 2022. However, according to Yorkshire head coach Ottis Gibson, he is likely to be available for his county from the middle to the end of May.
Bairstow could be hoping to get back into the England team for the opening Ashes Test at Edgbaston from June 16 in place of wicketkeeper Ben Foakes. However, it is not clear that England’s think tank wants him in the playing XI as a wicketkeeper, the Yorkshire officials said.
“Communication is the key and we haven’t heard anything from England yet, but I think Jonny has said he’d like to keep,...

Few guitars are as famous as the 1959 Les Paul Standard known as “Greeny.” Originally owned by blues-rock legend Peter Green during his time with Fleetwood Mac, the axe came into the possession of Thin Lizzy’s Gary Moore, who played it for decades. It’s currently owned by Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, having passed through the hands of three guitar legends.
Now Hammett and Gibson are bringing “Greeny” to the masses with the new 1959 Les Paul Standard Burst signature model, replicating the original. A Gibson Custom Shop version is out today (March 28th) and retails for an eye-popping $19,999. Meanwhile, the Les Paul Standard arrives April 11th, presumably at a much lower price.
“I am very honored and grateful for this opportunity with Gibson,” Hammett said in a press release. “To be able to share some of that mojo which ‘Greeny’ has means a lot to me. It’s exciting to...

Jessica Chastain is a savant of acting, and now she’s getting a whole limited series to prove it. The “Eyes of Tammy Faye” Oscar winner and current star of “A Doll’s House” on Broadway will star in “The Savant,” a new limited series ordered by Apple TV+.
No other cast members outside of Chastain have been announced, and Apple TV+ states the storyline and character details are being kept under wraps. However, the show is inspired by a feature published in Cosmopolitan, with the original writer Andrea Stanley serving as a consultant.
Apple did not specify what article from Stanley the show is based on, but judging from the title, it’s almost certainly “They Call Her The Savant,” a 2019 profile of an anonymous woman who infiltrates online hate groups in order to track and prevent potential mass shootings.

But you could say the subjective "direction" and homogenising technical treatment are at odds with the democratic intentions.
