On Tuesday, Netflix debuted a new teaser trailer for the Oscar winner’s upcoming stop-motion take on Carlo Collodi’s Italian folktale, co-directed with Mark Gustafson and co-written with Patrick McHale. Disney will bring a live-action remake of its well-loved 1940 classic to Disney+ on September 8, with star Tom Hanks as Geppetto and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth voicing Pinocchio. But where that production seems to be clinging to the old (a teaser from last month revealed what very well could be another shot-for-shot remake à la the 2018 “Lion King“), “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” explicitly promises “a story you think you know, but you don’t....

Harry Styles’ turn as suburban husband Jack, who may or may not be gaslighting his wife Alice (Florence Pugh), made for an emotional moment on set that “left us all in tears,” according to Wilde. The sequence, when Jack is promoted at his company Victory by his controlling boss Frank (Chris Pine), was a standout moment for Styles’ “primal” performance that was, well, wild(e). “It’s a strange scene, full of fascist references, and a disturbing amount of male rage,” Wilde told Rolling Stone....

Playing with a gimmicky structure, “Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between” begins with a meet-cute, fast-forwards through a whirlwind senior year romance montage, then spends most of its brief 84-minute running time on a highly planned final “break-up” date. As Aidan (Jordan Fisher) and Clare (Talia Ryder) relive the highlights reel of their epic ten-month (an eternity in high school years) relationship, they come to doubt their reasons for breaking up....

At the first mention of these latest episodes of the HBO series being “a little darker,” Winkler didn’t miss a beat. “To help myself, I went out and got a battery-operated miner cap,” Winkler said. If Winkler seems unfazed by digging into the more unsavory side of Gene Cousineau, the Valley-based acting coach (who is now effectively a hostage of Bill Hader’s hitman title character), it’s partly due to him knowing this was coming from the start....

Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Riegel (and inspired by her own coming-of-age in the Ohio Rust Belt and her earlier short film of the same name), “Holler” sets the “End of the F**king World” star as something of a Riegel surrogate: high school senior Ruth, sassy and brassy, smart and driven, and trapped by the circumstances of her life and family. The film calls to mind other movies about young strivers stuck in economically challenged American towns, from “Winter’s Bone” to “Hillbilly Elegy” (the film is set in Jackson, Ohio, technically part of the Appalachian section of the state)....

Most of that weirdness is baked right into the film’s basic premise, which dares to ask: What if our plucky kid was kind of a jerk? And what if our crazed robbers actually had a good reason for committing crimes? And what if this family-friendly comedy included jokes about O.J. Simpson’s checkered past? What follows is an uneven mishmash, the most ill-planned holiday potluck, as “Home Sweet Home Alone” attempts to balance protagonists and antagonists, good guys and bad guys, adult humor and kiddie stuff, all topped with plenty of winks at the first film....
