Raymond & Ray: A Yawnfest Of A Film

The casting of Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke in Raymond & Ray is enough to pique one’s interest but neither can save the film. On paper, this is a film that should work. In terms of execution, it fails on almost every level. I like both of the starring actors but in watching at home, the film had to fight for my attention. It’s never a good sign when a streaming film has to fight…

The Big Bang Theory: An Epic Oral History

The Big Bang Theory, an epic behind-the-scenes oral history by Jessica Radloff, is a must-read book that goes above and beyond. 483 pages. That’s the amount of pages before we get to the acknowledgements and index. Could there have been more pages? Oh, I’m sure of it. After all, we’re talking about a series that had 279 episodes air over the course of 12 seasons. I’m sure it would have been more had the 2007-08…

Kate Beckinsale talks Prisoner’s Daughter

During a roundtable interview in Toronto for Prisoner’s Daughter, Kate Beckinsale discussed the film and working with an injury. Beckinsale stars in the film alongside Brian Cox. The actress plays the estranged daughter of an aging prisoner dying of cancer. She’s reluctant to let him move in with her family but she’s tight on cash and he can provide money. The actress was injured four days into production. Shockingly, this is her first injury while…

Brian Cox On Choosing Projects During The Hiatus

During a roundtable interview in Toronto for Prisoner’s Daughter, Brian Cox discussed how he tackles projects during the Succession hiatus. Cox stars in the film alongside Kate Beckinsale. The actor plays an aging prisoner who is dying of cancer and needs to convince his estranged daughter to let him move in with her family. Whichever distributor acquires the film has an award-worthy performance from the Succession star. I had hoped to ask more than one…

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed – Chicago Int’l FF 2022

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, the new documentary from Laura Poitras, is playing the major film festivals this season. Make no mistake that portions of All the Beauty and the Bloodshed are powerful. After watching Dopesick, I was thinking that this would be a complementary companion in its taking down of the Sackler family. Suffice it to say, taking them down is just one part of the film. The rest of the film is…

The School for Good and Evil Hits Netflix

The School for Good and Evil brings filmmaker Paul Feig into the world of fantasy in this adaptation of Soman Chainani’s book. This film is unlike anything Feig has done before. Fantasy is not a genre that you’ll find in Feig’s filmography. His filmography is heavy on comedies more than anything else. That said, he’s no stranger to a visual effects-heavy film after directing Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. The fantasy genre, as anyone knows, is…

Tropic Thunder Arrives on 4K Ultra HD

Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller’s outrageous Hollywood satire film that could never be made again, is making its arrival on 4K Ultra HD. Tropic Thunder, the Vietnam War satire directed by Ben Stiller and released in 2008, goes to extremes with all sorts of surprises. While the film gets an upgrade to 4K UHD, only the theatrical presentation arrives in HDR. The director’s cut only features a remastering in 4K. Both of which are under Ben…
