Love him or hate him, what Quentin Tarantino has achieved over his more than 30 years of filmmaking is inarguably impressive. Not only is the “Reservoir Dogs” writer/director a renowned auteur — nominated three times for the Best Director Oscar with two Best Original Screenplay wins for “Pulp Fiction” and “Django Unchained” — Tarantino is also a well-versed film critic whose encyclopedic knowledge

Disney, which owns Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and is the dominant force at the domestic box office, will no longer produce any film with the assumption that it will get a theatrical release. Instead, the next MCU installment could be exclusive to Disney+, or available for $30 rental. It depends on what the newly reorganized Disney decides is best, and often the answer will be “streaming.” “What we

Bong Joon Ho has long been one of South Korea’s best filmmakers thanks to acclaimed movies such as “Memories of Murder,” “Mother,” and “The Host,” but it wasn’t until 2019 that Bong become a worldwide cinema superstar.

“Since Mr. Park’s house is built by an architect in the story, it wasn’t easy finding the right approach to designing the house,” Lee explained in a translated email interview with IndieWire. “I’m not an architect, and I think there’s a difference in how an architect envisions a space and how a production designer does. We prioritize blocking and camera angles while architects build spaces for peo

It’s been a four-year long wait, but Ari Aster has finally made his return. The director’s third film “Beau is Afraid” journeyed into theaters April 14, bringing surrealist comedy to audiences through the auteur’s famously punishing perspective. The film, which is as loved as it is disliked by critics and audiences, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the title character: a repressed man making a grueling od

The following tales of mini skirt-wearing super-spys and longing period-piece lesbians toe a careful line between caricature and camp. Too often, lesbian characters are turned into stereotypes: either unattractive man-haters or bimbos used for titillation and slasher fodder. These movies reclaim cinematic lesbianism; they’re the movies you will see played on a loop in the club, or at an undergroun

It might seem odd for Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain to star in almost back-to-back sci-fi films that are kind of similar —  Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” and Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” — but evidently the resemblances weren’t enough to scare off either actor, or the prospects of working with these directors and their great casts were too good to pass up.

Here is Quentin Tarantino’s official Top Eleven of 2011, per the Tarantino Archives. I am happy to see that Tarantino shares my love of “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” as a script and as a movie. I love it that “The Artist” ties with another Weinstein Co. film, “Our Idiot Brother.” He does seem to admire Hazanavicius, as he puts him on his best director list.
