Maleficent: How Disney is Reshaping its own Princess Legacy, Giving Back What was ...

June 1, 2014
Make no mistake, Maleficent is a revisionist, feminist retelling of a familiar princess story, one of THE princess stories. When I was a little girl, my favorite Disney movie was Sleeping Beauty. When I look back on this now, the only possible reason I can think of for loving it so much was that Aurora […]

OscarWatch: An Early Look at the Best Actress Race

May 31, 2014
As we head into another Oscar season you’ll see an array of representations of male characters of all ages and walks of life. Old, young, fat, thin, handsome, unattractive – you name it, they never run out of stories to be told about them. Women, such is not the case. Women have the choice of […]

May 24, 2014
Now that the Cannes awards have been handed out, some might wonder whether any of the films honored will make it all the way to the Oscars. The same films I thought had a chance at the beginning — Foxcatcher and Mr. Turner — still have a good chance, both collecting hardware today. Not winning […]

Cannes Diary – Of cloudless climes and starry skies

May 22, 2014
Saying goodbye to this beautiful city is hard. No, coming to this festival is hard. No, it isn’t anywhere near hard. Nothing about coming here is hard. We are the privileged few who get to see movies for free, who get to see them first, who get to sip rich coffee out of a tiny […]

The Bittersweet Celebration of Life Itself

by Sasha Stone on July 8, 2014
What we know about life: it lasts mere seconds by any measure. What we know about Roger Ebert: No one knew this better than he did. Ah, the horror and the beauty of this fleeting life. Time goes by too fast. There is too much beauty. Everywhere. The film about Ebert is a fitting tribute […]

New Clip from Boyhood, “Talk to Me”

by Sasha Stone on July 8, 2014
Ethan Hawke talks to his children – or tries to. Boyhood is clocking in right now at 94 on Metacritic – even Slant Magazine gave it a good review. The film is wowing critics and will likely be a major player come Oscar time.

New Foxcatcher Teaser – Full Throttle

by Sasha Stone on July 7, 2014
The new trailer for Foxcatcher shows a bit more about the tense relationship between Channing Tatum and Steve Carell, and gives you a pretty idea of how dark Carell goes with this magnificent, disturbing performance.

by Ryan Adams on July 7, 2014
Thanks to our good friend Chance Calloway for reminding me about Blackbird, a movie we first heard about in mid-February this year. It’s back in the conversation now because it’s been selected to screen at this month’s NewFest, New York’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Film Festival, 3 weeks from now. Blackbird is [...]

Oscarwatch: Will Get On Up Get Hit by the Politically Correct Bus?

by Sasha Stone on July 6, 2014
The last time Tate Taylor worked with Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer it was on The Help, a dream project Taylor brought to the big screen based on the book his childhood friend Kathryn Stockett wrote. The movie opened to great success, making over $100 million and eventually earning 4 Oscar nominations. All good so […]
