“I didn’t buy it […] either,” Marks says somewhat sheepishly. “As a reporter it’s hard to admit this, in a way. I absolutely worshipped Woody Allen before this trial and I still, well the proof is I could never watch a Woody Allen film again after this. It still hurts, it still wrenches me to say that, it’s still not easy to say that.” Now the chief theater critic of the Washington Post, Marks speaks for all culture connoisseurs in that moment....

“We cannot achieve this without the support of the worldwide community of Tolkien fans, our fellowship of funders,” McKellen says in a video posted December 2 to launch Project Northmoor. The actor and Rhys-Davies are joined in the video by “The Hobbit” star Martin Freeman, “Lord of the Rings” illustrator John Howe, and Annie Lennox, who won the Oscar for Best Original Song with “Into the West” from “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King....

Married couple Meera (Pinto) and Henry (Marshall-Green), a psychiatrist and an architect, met in college in Boston, but their fancy new duplex sits in rural New Mexico. Per the film’s dialogue, their big move was owed at least in part to the wide-open landscape, which director Adam Salky and cinematographer Eric Lin present in picturesque fashion, even if they never quite capture the relationship between the characters and the space around them....

“I’ve been listening to and playing their music my whole life, so it’s especially meaningful to me and such an honor to be able to put together this special reunion concert by these two extraordinarily gifted friends,” Marshall said in a release. One of the founders of Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment before founding Kennedy / Marshall with his wife Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall has been the primary head of the couple’s company since Kennedy took over the reins at Lucasfilm....

Miles Teller played Mr. Fantastic alongside onscreen wife Kate Mara as the Invisible Woman. Michael B. Jordan took over the Human Torch role from fellow MCU star Chris Evans’ original turn, and Jamie Bell played The Thing. And while the all-star cast are all critically acclaimed actors now, Bell warns against revisiting the “ill-fated” film with rose-tinted glasses. Bell called “Fantastic Four” “famously a disaster” of a movie. The “Shining Girls” star told host Andy Cohen on his Sirius XM show Radio Andy that the film most definitely does not deserve a second look seven years later....

The actress recently finished filming “80 for Brady,” the roadtrip movie about four octogenarians traveling cross-country to see the 2017 Super Bowl in person, co-starring Sally Field, Rita Moreno, and her “Grace & Frankie” co-star Lily Tomlin. “To, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share,” she began her Instagram post. “I’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments. “This is a very treatable cancer....

Will Smith is one of the biggest movie stars of the last 30 years, which is one of the reasons he’s never been particularly good at playing normal people. As a secret government agent saving the world from a giant alien cockroach, he was so believable that even Tommy Lee Jones took him seriously. As Muhammad Ali, he made embodying the Greatest seem like a lateral move. As a homeless medical device salesman in 1981 San Francisco, or, uh, whoever the hell he was supposed to be in “Seven Pounds,” it felt like Smith couldn’t stop himself from veering into a kind of doleful civilian drag, as if the only alternative he could imagine to being on top of the world was being at the bottom of it....
