you may say a lot of things aboutThe Death and Life of John F. Donovan, but you can’t say filmmakerXavier Dolandidn’t leave it all on the field. The sprawling drama marks the lauded Canadian filmmaker’s first English-language film, and in it he ambitiously attempts to tackle themes of fame, privacy, sexuality, growing up, and of course mothers and sons. It doesn’t really work, and some bits of the film are a total mess, but the shaggy film isn’t entirely without merit....

In the name of Baby Billy, it’s time to rejoice! During an interview forHalloween Kills,David Gordon Greentells us that even thoughThe Righteous GemstonesSeason 2 hasn’t been released, HBO has picked up the fantastic series for a third season and they’re currently working on ideas now.

Fans ofJoshua Jacksonhave probably first spotted him inThe Mighty Duckstrilogy orDawson’s Creek, but for me, it was his role as Peter Bishop inFringe. His quick smarts,the messy love trianglehe became entangled in, and the weird mysteries he investigated seemed to be left with thesci-fi showwhen it ended. That is, until his return to network TV after several years in streaming was also a return of those three of my favorite parts ofFringe, just packaged differently inDoctor Odyssey....

It happened to be director Phillips, not Maisler, who chose pop sensation and Oscar winner to play the role, with Gaga’s eventual performance surprising the casting director for the better....

The Bruce Banner actor will makehis next MCU appearanceinThor: Ragnarok, and despite all the apocalyptic action that will likely take place, Ruffalo sees it as a “buddy picture.” New York Daily Newscaught up with the actor for an interview recently and got him talking about the role this giant, green rage monster has in the film....

Kevin Feigehas revealed his regrets in castingTilda Swintonas the Ancient One inDoctor Strange, admitting that he should have looked for a way to cast an Asian actor in the role without resorting to the stereotypical depictions of the character seen in the comic books. At the time, the decision wasjustified in canonby explaining that much like the title of Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One was a mantle passed down to many people throughout history, with the movie’s directorScott Derricksoncrafting the part specifically for Swinton under the assumption that avoiding the Fu Manchu-esque connotations of Doctor Strange’s mentor was the smartest way to avoid controversy....

On paper,Tomb Raidershould be a slam-dunk of a movie. It’s based on a long-running and popular video game series, and the premise is basically a female Indiana Jones—a tough adventurer who hunts for ancient artifacts. In 2013, the video games were rebooted to give heroine Lara Croft a bit more of a backstory and a grittier origin, and the rebooted film franchise attempts to follow suit. Unfortunately,Roar Uthaug’smovie is a constant drag, always leaning into the seriousness of the story but rarely finding the joy in the journey....

Paramount Pictures has unveiled the first teaser trailer for the animated animal adventure movie,Wonder Park. And this first look is a teaser in earnest. Other than the song choice of “What a Wonderful World” playing over a beautifully animated series of sequences, with a little bit of dialogue thrown in, it’s hard to get a handle on just what this movie is supposed to be about. At bare minimum, it follows a young girl who discovers a once defunct theme park (named Wonderland, ironically) that is somehow rejuvenated and features crowds of people taking pictures with a variety of talking animals....
