The True Story Behind That Amazing The Fabelmans Cameo

This article contains The Fabelmans spoilers. Do you want to meet the greatest film director who ever lived? That would be a loaded question in any context, but it has extra weight in Steven Spielberg’s new release, The Fabelmans. With the film being a semi-autobiographical portrait of the legendary filmmaker’s own adolescent years, the picture feels in many ways like a rare window into meeting the real Spielberg—or at least the Spielberg as imagined in the director’s own head. While the film has a thin layer of artistic license (the main character is named Sammy Fabelman instead of Steven Spielberg,…

James Cameron Is Tired of Answering This One Question About His Movies

In 1991, director James Cameron released Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the most expensive movie ever made. In 1994, Cameron released True Lies, the most expensive movie ever made. In 1997, Cameron released Titanic, the most expensive movie ever made. In 2009, Cameron released Avatar, the most expensive movie ever made. Even if the sequel Avatar: The Way of Water won’t set a similar record when it hits theaters next month, one thing is abundantly clear: James Cameron makes big movies. But if you asked him about his giant-sized movies, the famously cantankerous director would probably take you to task. “I’m…

The Fabelmans: Steven Spielberg Looks at Forces That Made One of the Greatest Filmmakers

The odd thing about The Fabelmans, Steven Spielberg’s thinly fictionalized account of his childhood, adolescence, and family upbringing—the factors that ultimately shaped him into one of our greatest directors—is that it’s not really about Spielberg’s screen avatar, young Sammy Fabelman (played by Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord as a little boy and uncanny Spielberg lookalike Gabriel LaBelle as a teenager). For most of its 150-minute running time, the central character is Mitzi, Sammy’s mother, played as a force of nature by Michelle Williams in a towering tour de force performance. Mitzi has an artistic, free-flowing soul and heart, but she’s trapped in…

5 Reasons Planes, Trains and Automobiles Is the Best Holiday Movie Ever

Hollywood has traditionally overlooked Thanksgiving in favor of literally any other holiday. Christmas has thousands of movies, Halloween has hundreds, and Thanksgiving has about two (all numbers rough estimates). Which is a pity! The best Thanksgiving movie, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, is also the best holiday movie. It is a lean, 90-minute film about two men yearning for home. Unconstrained by the tinselly pomp that is de rigueur for the holiday genre, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is at turns side-splittingly funny and throat-tighteningly sad. It’s a masterpiece. If you’re not already familiar with the film, it stars Steve Martin as…

Quentin Tarantino Reveals His Big Problem with Marvel

Quentin Tarantino and Marvel Studios have been linked frequently in the press as of late. It was only a handful of weeks ago when the mercurial auteur behind such classics like Pulp Fiction and Kill Billmentioned, almost as an aside, that a lot of filmmakers are waiting for superhero movies to fail; he’s also been recently asked what comic book property he’d theoretically love to direct and make his own (it’s Marvel’s Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos, by the by); he’s even been prompted to state what is the worst era for Hollywood movies, and his answer was a…

The Addams Family Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

The Addams Family is an icon of happy madness, morbid fun, and macabre amusement. It is as much a sideshow as a franchise, and equal parts parachute, noose, and straitjacket. It was created in 1938 as a series of unrelated single-panel cartoons by Charles Addams, the only cartoonist The New Yorker magazine ever recommended for psychiatric evaluation. So it is a shame we’ll never know what the cartoonist would’ve thought of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, the latest and most promising adaptation of the warped family entertainment for televised consumption in quite some time. Featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, and Luis…

Robert Downey Jr’s One Piece of Advice for Marvel’s Ironheart

While there have been a number of live-action Spider-Men, Batmen, and Supermen within my lifetime, there has only been one Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. helped kickstart the MCU with Iron Man’s origin story in 2008, and brought this genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist to life in a way that very few, if any others could have. The character was growing to be more than just a rich guy with time to kill and money to spare, Tony became a true leader of the Avengers and a mentor to the younger generation of heroes, mostly Spider-Man (Tom Holland). With Tony’s death…

Glass Onion: Daniel Craig’s Biggest Concern for Knives Out Sequel

This article contains spoilers for Glass Onion and Knives Out. Quick, read these words out loud: “A doughnut hole in the doughnut’s hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the doughnut hole has a hole in its center – it is not a doughnut hole at all but a smaller doughnut with its own hole, and our doughnut is not whole at all!” No matter which part of the world you come from, you probably said those words with the thick drawl of the American South. More specifically, you were probably imitating…

The Best Costumes in the MCU Ranked

The last few years have seen Marvel Studios push the boundaries in terms of their costume designs, reinventing familiar looks while adapting new clothing from the comics. However, each Phase of the MCU has boasted a standout suit, which not only includes plenty of character-driven details, but also looks amazing and heavily draws from the source material.  When judging a costume therefore, it’s important to take into account the artwork on the page, how those attires actually interact with the narrative, their functionality on screen, and how iconic they have become. Each of these costumes bring something unique to the…

What Timothy Dalton’s Third James Bond Movie Would Have Been About

The history of any major movie franchise is littered with “sliding door” moments – decisions that changed the shape and direction of the films that followed – and James Bond is no exception. Adam West turning down the chance to play 007 paved the way for Roger Moore to take the role. The fateful decision to equip Bond with an invisible car in Die Another Day, meanwhile, contributed to producers pushing for a more gritty and grounded 007 in Casino Royale. For Timothy Dalton, that sliding door moment came as a result of the corporate litigation between producer Cubby Broccoli’s…

Ranking the Best Jason Momoa Performances

Jason Momoa has been acting since 1999 when he first donned those iconic red swim trunks on TV’s Baywatch: Hawaii as a beardless 19-year-old. It took a lot of roles before the Hawaiian-born Aquaman actor got his big break as Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones. While he’s often typecast as something of a brute, the actor best known for maiming folks with his sword is ready for his comedic debut in Netflix’s fantastical family-friendly film, Slumberland. So it’s the perfect time to look back at a TV and movie career that’s benefited just as much from Momoa’s offscreen charm…

Ranking the Pierce Brosnan James Bond Movies

Diamonds might be forever, but James Bond isn’t. At least not naturally. While the character has survived 60 years, the changing mores and attitudes of several generations, and multiple recastings, it is never a foregone conclusion that 007 will soldier on into the next decade. And in 1995, things looked particularly perilous for the character just as Pierce Brosnan slipped into the tuxedo. Brosnan was, of course, famously cast as Bond before that moment, having been slated to appear nearly a decade earlier in The Living Daylights (1987). But due to a television contract, he was forced to drop out…

The Menu Ending Explained

This article contains The Menu spoilers. Are you with us or with them? It’s an exceedingly simple question. Reductive, one might say. And yet, the inability to answer this query produces most of the anxiety and tension in what is a fang-toothed laceration of class, capitalism, and the pretenses of foodie culture. In other words, it’s a key ingredient to the new bleakly funny thriller, The Menu. The horror/satire hybrid is directed by Game of Thrones and Succession veteran Mark Mylod, and is written by Seth Reiss and Will Tracy, who between them have writing credits in Succession, The New…

Harrison Ford Confirms Reason He Returned for Indiana Jones 5

Everyone is keenly aware that circumstances have changed for our dear Dr. Jones as we head into the fifth (and ostensibly final) Indiana Jones film. For starters, director Steven Spielberg opted for the first time in the franchise’s history to relinquish the director’s reins, leaving the still untitled Indiana Jones 5 in the hands of director James Mangold. Additionally, Harrison Ford’s beloved fedora-wearing alter-ego is no longer the youthful underdog from the original trilogy of films in the 1980s. When last we saw Ford as Indiana, the actor was already 66. And that was in 2008. He’ll be just a…

10 Things You Might Not Know About Alien

This article contains Alien spoilers They say that in space, no one can hear you scream. For those who’ve watched Ridley Scott’s Alien, you’ll know that isn’t the case – with this sci-fi staple “screaming” about its legacy for the past 43 years. Making a household name of Sigourney Weaver as Lt. Ellen Ripley, Alien is tightly held as one of the all-time horror greats. Although the franchise has since spun off into sequels, prequels, and those maligned Alien Vs Predator crossovers, it all returns to the USCSS Nostromo and its doomed crew. While it’s ironic that the titular alien…

Daniel Craig Reveals Greatest James Bond Regret

“I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists.” That’s the shocking answer Daniel Craig gave to Time Out when asked about doing another James Bond movie. While certainly extreme, such an answer isn’t too much of a surprise today. After all, Craig played Bond in five movies over 15 years, with his take culminating with the most definitive of endings in the last entry, No Time to Die. But that exchange with Time Out did not happen in 2022, or even 2021. It happened in 2015, shortly before the release of his penultimate Bond movie, Spectre. Along with his…

She Said Review: A Portrait of the First #MeToo Domino’s Impact

Harvey Weinstein’s face is never shown in She Said. He is heard—frequently and insidiously, such as when the movie plays a voice recording of the disgraced Hollywood mogul harassing and pressuring Ambra Battilana Gutierrez to stay in his hotel suite. But during this harrowing moment from recent history, director Maria Schrader’s camera only tracks the empty, gilded hotel hallway where the maliciousness took place. The convicted rapist’s demons still haunt this space, as well as our collective consciousness, like malignant spirits. We don’t see them, however. We simply know they’re there.  Also, it must be said, we’ve seen more than…

The Menu: Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy Serve Tasty Little Black Comedy

The act of eating has always been rich with metaphor and meaning, from the offering of bread and wine at a certain supper 2,000 years ago to the rending of human flesh by reanimated corpses in more recent cinematic outings. In the movies alone, the taking of a meal is often loaded with political, social, family, or sexual undercurrents. Which brings us to The Menu, a scathing and occasionally uproarious black comedy that manages to be a mostly entertaining repast, even if the feast gets a little heavy by the end. As the film opens, a couple named Tyler (Nicholas…

The Wonder: Florence Pugh Finds Antidote to Don’t Worry Darling Nonsense

By a strange quirk of timing, I happened to finally catch Don’t Worry Darling, Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde’s high-concept psychological thriller run into the ground by gossipy drama. I managed to watch it only the night before Pugh’s lesser-known 2022 project, The Wonder. As to little surprise, Don’t Worry Darling was not nearly good enough to withstand any whisper of scandal, but what shocked me was how The Wonder hits almost all of the same beats—motherhood and sexuality, grief and belief, rituals of self-delusion—and does them so much better. There’s even a more incisive commentary on building false houses…
