Cannes knockout “Sentimental Value” celebrated its New York City premiere at the 63rd annual New York Film Festival on Tuesday, September 30. Renate Reinsve and director Joachim Trier reunite after their acclaimed “The Worst Person in the World,” with co-stars Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas. The film follows two daughters’ fraught relationship with their auteur father, put to the test after the death of their mother. We caught up on the carpet with Skarsgård, who reflected on working with the Oscar-nominated director for the first time. “[It was] extremely good,” he told IndieWire. “He sits right beside…
Most sci-fi movies focus on the latter term (fiction). But, in 2015, Alien director, Ridley Scott, made his triumphant return to the genre. However, the director decided to put the science back into science fiction. With realism and accuracy in movies becoming increasingly scrutinized, Scott’s 2015 sci-fi film has been hailed as one of the most scientifically accurate movies ever. Although, given that the entire film is about the minutia of space travel and surviving on a hostile planet, you’d expect nothing less. The above clues should be a dead giveaway, because we’re talking about The Martian, and it’s about…
Jimmy Kimmel Live! is in the middle of its first full week of shows since its host was unceremoniously suspended by ABC over on-air comments, and he and fellow embattled last night host Stephen Colbert extended their bromance by guesting on each other’s talk shows. While sitting on the Late NIght couch, Kimmel gave a very detailed breakdown of the unpredictable chaos that went down the afternoon he was suspended, including the undeniably adorable way one of his kids reacted. (The other kid’s reaction? Slightly less wholesome.)The way he tells it, the timing of ABC’s decision couldn’t have happened at…
If Richard Curtis were to adapt Michael Haneke’s “The Piano Teacher” into a cozy and very gay Christmas movie, it might look something like Harry Lighton’s kinky, fetishes-on-its-sleeve BDSM romance “Pillion.” Alexander Skarsgård stars as an enigmatic gay leather dom opposite Harry Melling as the timid traffic warden he takes under his wing — and under his domination, but not quite into his bed as Ray (Skarsgård) gets off on withholding in the emotion department. Meanwhile, Colin (Melling), is hoping for something more, and optimistic he can get Ray to crack. A24 releases the film early next year after raved-about…
“Four rounds. One winner. No mercy.” So reads the tagline for this month’s martial arts action thriller that promises to throw the violent tournament mayhem of Mortal Kombat into the dirt and stamp on its face. Superbly titled Gladiator Underground, the new trailer for the action outing smashes all manner of expert stunt performers and martial artists at each other in this tale of two brothers who find themselves fighting for their lives in the world’s deadliest underground fighting tournament. Directed by Chaya Supannarat and led by a trio of action stars in D.Y. Sao (Bangkok Dog, Everything Everywhere All…
The past few years have been momentous for Silver Dollar City. With the new-and-improved Fire in the Hole dark coaster, a multitude of festivals and special events, and various upgrades throughout the park in Branson, Missouri, there’s been a lot going on. Yet no project is bigger or more anticipated than the upcoming Silver Dollar City Resort, which is being built where a 90-foot mountain once stood. Yes, mountain.Like a few of my colleagues before me, I recently visited Silver Dollar City to attend its inaugural Fan Fest. On top of learning about all the big plans for what USA…

Lewis Tan, star of the likes of Deadpool & Wolverine, Cobra Kai, and Mortal Kombat, puts his particular set of skills to the test like never before in Safe House, for which an explosive new trailer has now been released.

Five Nights at Freddy’s evolved from being a beloved indie horror game to a full-fledged franchise sweeping the horror community. Despite reviews from critics that panned the original movie, a sequel is in the works, and it’s one of the highlights of Halloween Horror Nights 2025. I credit that to the support of children, including my seven-year-old daughter, which I find strange.As an entertainment writer, I might give my child more leeway than the average parent to watch things if she’s genuinely interested in seeing them, within reason. While I’d balk at allowing her to watch many of the best…
Mark Wahlberg is back with another action-packed crime thriller on Prime Video. But, even though the actor might be a fan favorite in the genre, his new movie, Play Dirty, isn’t one of his best… at least, according to the critics. The new movie is now streaming on Prime Video, and the critics have had their say. Despite the film’s all-star cast and being directed by The Nice Guys’ Shane Black, Play Dirty might need to pull some dirty tricks of its own to be a success. The critics’ reviews for Play Dirty are in, and Shane Black and Mark…
Every so often, a costume choice becomes a character in and of itself. Jeff Bridges had The Dude’s bathrobe. Tony Soprano had his own robe. Now, Leonardo DiCaprio has joined the “dad robe hall of fame” in Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, the critically acclaimed One Battle After Another. On that note, we now have some insight into how the plaid robe came to be in his 2025 movie release!According to Variety, the faded plaid get-up wasn’t part of the plan. Costume designer Colleen Atwood revealed that Bob, DiCaprio’s revolutionary-turned-stoner-dad character, was initially supposed to just wear a sweatshirt. Then,…
