Best French New Wave Movies On Blu Ray

It’s hard to think of a cinematic movement more influential, and instantly recognizable, than the French New Wave. In the late 1950s, a group of young writers for the French publication “Cahiers du Cinéma” began to question the safe, compromising choices made by filmmakers and demand something more daring and honest. Many of these writers, including the likes of Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, became filmmakers themselves. And the results were extraordinary....

C Mon C Mon Review Joaquin Phoenix Stars In Mike Mills Mood Piece

Mike Mills makes sweet and ineffably gracious movies about how people don’t know what the future holds or how the fuck they’re supposed to get there, and “C’mon C’mon” is definitely one of them. A shaggy black-and-white mood piece about an unmarried radio journalist (Joaquin Phoenix) who unexpectedly finds himself on a cross-country assignment with his nine-year-old nephew (Woody Norman) in tow, Mills’ latest film might bop around from Los Angeles to New York and New Orleans, but it never strays far from an ethos best expressed by Greta Gerwig’s character in “20th Century Women”: “Whatever you imagine your life is going to be like, know your life is not going to be anything like that....

Cry Macho Review Clint Eastwood And A Rooster Carry A Gentle Western

The Hollywood legend first considered adapting M. Richard Nash’s “Cry Macho” in 1988, but at the spry age of 58, he felt too young to play the lead, and decided to make another “Dirty Harry” sequel instead. During the three decades that followed, however, he never forgot about the project, nor the lifetime of double-edged masculine swagger that it distilled into a single word. Wherever Eastwood went, “macho” went with him....

Dakota Johnson Fifty Shades Of Grey Was Psychotic

Johnson, who skyrocketed to fame after starring opposite Jamie Dornan in 2015’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” and its subsequent two sequels, revealed that she “signed up to do a very different version of the film we ended up making.” “I’m a sexual person, and when I’m interested in something, I want to know so much about it,” Johnson told Vanity Fair. “That’s why I did those big naked movies.” Johnson auditioned for the film by reading a monologue from Ingmar Bergman’s “Persona” and at first thought the adaptations of E....

David Fincher Resented Original Mank Script After Alien 3 Nightmare

“Once I had gone to Pinewood for two years and had been through a situation where I was a hired gun to make a library title for a multinational, vertically integrated media conglomerate, I had a different view of how writers and directors needed to work,” Fincher said. “I kind of resented [Jack’s] anti-auteurist take. I felt that what the script really needed to talk about was the notion of enforced collaboration: You may not like the fact that you’re going to be beholden to so many different disciplines and skill sets in the making of a movie, but if you’re not acknowledging it, you’re missing the side of the barn....
