With the exception ofSully, which continues to show impressive staying power, September for the most part was marked by disappointing results at the box office.The Magnificent Seven,Blair Witch, andStorksare all poised to come in well below expectations, and the intense and well madeDeepwater Horizonlooks to finish as one of the lowest grossing big budget disaster films in recent memory.

There have been some rumblings over the past week about Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) appearing in theCaptain Marvelmovie, and that now seems to be confirmed. Fury is the connective force in the MCU, and so it makes sense for him to be present at the launch ofCaptain Marvel. Deadline is confirming the rumor first reported byOmega Underground, but the latest language that he will “make an appearance” suggests that it might be a minor role or even a cameo....

Whenever you toss out the term “racism” people are bound to get defensive, and there appears to be a popular consensus that the only true “racists” are KKK members and Neo-Nazis. But asStephen Maing’s terrific documentaryCrime + Punishmentshows, racism in our society is far more banal than some pathetic white guy hitting refresh on The Daily Stormer. Maing, with the help of his brave subjects and the damning evidence they collect, breaks down how racist outcomes are the result of tribalism, bureaucracy, and money....

Dungeons & Dragonsbegan life as a role-playing tabletop game played with a bunch of dice and a bunch of imagination. Since then, its influence and reach has been seen in all kinds of tabletop expansions, role-playing computer games,excellentCommunityepisodes, and yes, a particularly reviled big screen adaptation starring a very shoutyJeremy Irons. Now, a new take is coming to television, which feels like a particularly appropriate medium for such a lore-drenched, multi-faceted world asD&D....

Whilemother!has elicited someverystrong reactions from audiences and critics alike, something that seems to have gotten a little lost in the conversation is the craftsmanship on display in the allegorical drama. FilmmakerDarren Aronofskyis no slouch, and he approachedmother!with a very strong yet challenging point of view, opting to shoot the entire movie in 16mm on in a practical house with limited space. That’s tough in and of itself, but as Aronofsky explained to Collider’s own Steve Weintraub at the Toronto International Film Festival, the troubles only grew once he hit post-production....

The great cinematographerRoger Deakinsis quite selective these days; even more so after winning two Oscars. He works only on massive tent poles, or on new films directed by past collaborators. But in 2011, between shooting the Coen Brothers’True GritandSam Mendes’Skyfall, Deakins shot a science-fiction thriller that earned terrible reviews, had little impact on the cultural landscape, but marked a career-altering first for him. Directed byAndrew Niccol, the movieIn Timedid fairly well at the box office and is now rising up the HBO viewership charts....
