Inspired by the true story of disgruntled former marine Brian Brown Easley (John Boyega), who takes to robbing a Wells Fargo bank branch so the world will finally hear him, “Breaking” is a perplexing and tonally off-kilter thriller-biopic. While it features some stellar performances — including the final on-screen role of the late Michael K. Williams, as a semi-fictionalized hostage negotiator — its individual strengths all seem to work in isolation....

Howard, who starred alongside Chris Pratt in the revamped “Jurassic Park” trilogy reboot, earlier said that she was “paid so much less than” Pratt for the first “Jurassic World” film in 2014. Now, Howard is coming clean about another studio demand, which was that she lose weight for her role.

Enter Brendan Walsh’s IFC Midnight thriller “Centigrade,” which adds a (literally) chilling dimension to a genre still pushing its boundaries.

The BTK Killer taunted the police by sending them letters detailing his crimes in gruesome details.

Speaking to The Ringer, Wall said more times than not he is editing together multiple takes of a different scene into one finished version as opposed to just using Fincher’s final take or most preferred single take. Wall created a system that he has passed on to Fincher’s other editors that “allowed me to sleep at night knowing that I had a mechanism in place so I knew I was getting all the best stuff....

“That’s a lot!,” says Judy. “Yeah, it’s way too fuckin’ much!,” Jen replies. That exchange is “Dead to Me” in a nutshell, Liz Feldman’s dark comedy that premiered in 2019 and wraps up with a third and final season nearly three years after it last aired.

“When Epstein hit I was like ‘Okay, Peter’s day will come soon,’” said supermodel Beverly Peele during the documentary’s Discover+ panel at CTAM Winter 2021 Press Tour. “I knew his day would come.” Kai Zen Bickle, Nygard’s son, said his father was built on a foundation of lies — he will only refer to his father as “Nygard” — and in May 2019 Bickle caught a glimpse of behavior that he describes as extremely troubling....
