When promoting Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg claimed that every war movie is an anti-war movie. I think this is doubly true when it comes to genre cinema. After all, what better way to immerse audiences in the horrors of war than by telling a story specifically designed to scare them?
Hell, sometimes the war itself doesn’t even need to happen onscreen, like in the case of 1954’s Godzilla – one of the all-time best commentaries on nuclear warfare. And with Takashi Yamazaki returning the radioactive dinosaur to his post-war roots in Godzilla Minus One, we’ve decided to come up with a list recommending six more war-time horror movies for fans of historical terror.
While not all of the films on this list take place during a war, they all incorporate warfare and its consequences into their stories. That being said, don’t forget to comment below with your...

These days, most audiences are aware that the law of diminishing returns also applies to movie franchises. That’s why numbered sequels are usually frowned upon when it comes to new releases in established IPs, with producers preferring it when moviegoers forget exactly how many of these rehashed films they’ve seen before. And as a series goes on, it becomes increasingly more difficult for franchises to experiment with their source material, leading to stale experiences and disappointed fans.
Thankfully, there are a handful of exceptions to this rule, and I’d argue that the most surprising of all would be the Universal Soldier franchise. In all honesty, I don’t even think the original 1992 film is all that great, benefiting from the natural charisma of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren while riding on the coat-tails of an intriguing premise (where deceased soldiers are revived as cybernetic zombies with...

Alice left an indelible mark on American TV. Based on a relatively minor Martin Scorsese film, the weekly 30-minute sitcom followed the day-to-day of a widowed mom (played by Linda Lavin) who experienced car trouble in Arizona and never left. Nearly five decades after its 1976 debut, all but two of the original Alice cast members have died. Who’s still alive?

There’s nothing quite like when HBO is airing one of its trademark watercooler-worthy dramas weekly. Thankfully, we’ll get to it experience exactly that and more on HBO Max in March 2023.
The big ticket item on HBO Max this March is undoubtedly Succession Season 4 on March 26. Part prestige drama and part screwball comedy, Succession is about as fun a watch as they come. Season 4 of the series about egregious wealth will find the Roy siblings reeling after trying and failing to take down their father, Logan (Brian Cox).
HBO Max’s other major TV option this month is another weekly release from HBO. Matthew Rhys returns as the titular lawyer in Perry Mason Season 2 on March 6. Season 1 of this period piece reboot flexed the classic TV character’s detective skills. From the look of the trailer, it seems as though this is the year Perry makes his name in the court room.

Jim James was on a long walk recently near his home in Louisville, Kentucky, listening to iTunes when one of his own songs popped up: “Spinning My Wheels,” a gorgeous, hymn-like ballad that he’d written in 2013. The track was from the scrapped sequel to My Morning Jacket’s 2015 album The Waterfall. The band had planned to release at least two albums from their marathon 2013 recording sessions in Stinson Beach, California, but years of heavy touring caught up to James, and they went on a long break. “I just really...

Philip McKeon, known for playing the son of Linda Lavin’s titular character in the classic CBS sitcom “Alice,” has died. He was 55.
The actor died Tuesday morning in Texas following a longtime illness, family spokesman Jeff Ballard confirmed to Variety.
“We are all beyond heartbroken and devasted over Phil’s passing,” said Ballard. “His wonderful sense of humor, kindness and loyalty will be remembered by all who crossed his path in life.”
McKeon played the role of Tommy Hyatt on “Alice” from 1976 to 1985. Following that, he appeared in several other TV shows including the NBC crime drama “CHiPs,” and a pair of ABC series, “Fantasy Island” and “The Love Boat,” in 1984. On the film side, McKeon appeared mostly in horror pics, among them “Return to Horror High” and “Ghoulies 4.”
His most recent credit was as a co-producer on the 2005 psychological thriller feature “The Jacket,” which starred Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley,...

For this week’s new spotlight piece, I wanted to cite an A-lister who doesn’t quite get the credit that she deserves. That lovely lady is none other than Keira Knightley, an Academy Award nominated actress mostly known for her period piece work but capable of far more than that. In fact, she proved that earlier this year, as I’ll mention below. Regardless, she’s very talented and someone still on the upswing of her career, so she made perfect sense as the latest honoree in this series. As such, the spotlight is now shining on her today. Knightley got her start with some British television and a tiny part in the film Innocent Lies, but the first place you’d likely have seen her is in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, where she had a small but noticeable part. There was a bit more...

It’s easy to forget just how greatly visual effects shifted in the late 1990s. Techniques that had survived more-or-less unchanged since the dawn of cinema - scale models, matte paintings, stop-motion, to name a few - were suddenly joined by a new generation of jaw-dropping computer graphics.
Such groundbreaking movies as Tron, Young Sherlock Holmes and The Abyss paved the way, but the digital revolution pretty much exploded in the 1990s, starting with the eye-popping morph effects of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the dinosaur shots in Jurassic Park and the CG-assisted bullet time of The Matrix in 1999.

It was also the year Pierce Brosnan formally bowed out of his role as James Bond, and Martin Scorsese's The Aviator was hyped to win the director his first Oscar, but didn't. Still, the contents of this list received nothing like the acclaim of The Aviator, nor the financial pickings of a Star Wars or Harry Potter.

Shia Labeouf might not get an Oscar for taking LSD for his role in the upcoming film The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, but he might get us to consider buying a ticket. “I’d never done acid before. I remember sending Evan tapes. I remember trying to conjure this and sending tapes. And Evan being like ‘That’s good, but that’s not but, that is,’” Labeouf told MTV about dropping acid to prepare for his character’s drug trip. “You reach out to friends and gauge where you’re at. I was sending tapes around and I’d get 50 percents from people and that just starts creeping me out. I was getting really nervous toward the end. Not cause I wanted to be on drugs — I’m not trying to mess with the set or anything like that. It’s really just fear that propels people.” Maybe it was fear,...

Exclusive: Electric City partners Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell have optioned rights to the Alison Espach novel The Adults. They’ve set Massy Tadjedin to write the script and direct. Patricof and Howell most recently completed the Derek Cianfrance-directed The Place Beyond The Pines, which stars Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes and will be released by Focus Features. In her debut novel, Espach chronicles a modern young woman’s struggle to grow up in a world where an adult and a child can so dangerously be mistaken for one and the same. At the center of the suburban universe in which the novel is set is teenager Emily Vidal, who learns quickly of the complications that come with adulthood when she falls in love with an older man. Espach teaches creative writing in New York City. Howell found the book reminiscent of generation coming-of-age stories like The Graduate.

Transformers star used LSD to prepare for a scene in The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, but refuses to bare all for new Lars von Trier movie
Forget Robert DeNiro, who famously gained 60lb to portray overweight ex-boxer Jake Lamotta in Raging Bull, or Adrien Brody, who volunteered to remain locked in a mortuary drawer for hours while starring in The Jacket.

Since winning his Oscar at 29, Adrien Brody has refused to be typecast. He talks about his unexpectedly diverse career, the debt he owes his parents and how to run away from a gorilla
"This is the most intimate interview I've ever done," whispers Adrien Brody, which is exactly the kind of thing you want to hear when you're inches away from an Oscar-winning Hollywood actor who's interrupted his holiday to chat to you. And when the two of you are sitting on a baking-hot day in an upscale beach complex in Monaco that is part Stella Artois advert and part Jg Ballard novel, without a PR person in sight to chivvy things along and prevent you from asking impertinent questions. So who are you to quibble if the sotto voce intimacy is down to your subject having lost his voice?

Winning an Oscar really can change an actor's career trajectory in a big way, and ten years after pulling one of the biggest surprises in recent Oscar history with his award-winning performance in Roman Polanski's The Pianist , Adrien Brody has veered from one unconventional choice to another, doing roles in smaller genre films like The Jacket and Splice , bigger movies like M. Night Shyamalan's The Village , Peter Jackson's King Kong and Predators and quirky comedies like Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited and The Brothers Bloom . Other than a small but memorable appearance as Salvador Dali in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris (and a much-discussed Super Bowl spot for Gillette), Brody seems to have been relatively out of the limelight in the last couple years, but...

Through no fault of their own, some actors have struggled to escape from under the weight of an Academy Award win — especially if it came early in their career. Despite their best efforts, they have yet to repeat their previous levels of success and live up to the title "Academy Award winner."

Among the list of past winners, you'll find some of Hollywood's most timeless faces. But you'll also find some names that have faded since their night of Oscar glory.
Through no fault of their own, some actors have struggled to escape from under the weight of an Academy Award win — especially if it came early in their career. Despite their best efforts, they have yet to repeat their previous levels of success and live up to the title "Academy Award winner."
Here are some of the steepest falls for Oscar winners in recent years:...

With the Academy Awards now just a week away, large doses of scrutiny are being shoved down the collective throats of the twinkling stars standing in line and hoping for their very own statuette.
Odds are that when the nominations are announced every year, there will be at least one somewhat surprising contender, whether he/she be an unknown, or simply dwells in an artistically shunned corner of the film world…no names mentioned, Jonah.
What is more of a startling occurrence is when said unfancied also-ran is announced as the victor, with their Celebrity Square suddenly expanding, and their face contorted with disbelief and unguarded astonishment in front of millions of amazed viewers.
But just how often is the wild card winner the champion of the future? Is the bookie-breaking hero of the night getting the ultimate kick start into superstardom and legend, an easily carried poisoned chalice, or...

Adrien Brody is phenomenal in every performance, even if the movie he headlines isn't the greatest (Wrecked, The Jacket, Hollywoodland). Next up for this Oscar-winning actor is a star studded drama called Detachment, which comes to us courtesy of American History X director Tony Kaye and has future award nomination for Brody written all over it.
In Detachment, Brody plays a subsititute teacher with a mysterious past. This story revolves around the lives of high school teachers and students from the perspective of the substitute during his three week tour of duty at the school.

Effie Gray's never seen this much action before!
Keira Knightley will be playing the gorgeous artists' muse in "Untouched," the second of two biopics about Effie Gray currently in the works, according to Thompson on Hollywood.
"Untouched" follows the passionate love affair between Effie Gray, a beautiful woman trapped in a loveless, unconsummated marriage to Victorian art critic John Ruskin, and his protege, pre-Raphelite painter John Everett Millais.The film will be directed by Brazilian director Andrucha Waddington.
This is not to be confused with "Effie," the biopic being directed by Emma Thompson and starring Dakota Fanning as the 19th-century beauty.
We think there's certainly room for more than one Effie Gray movie. It's been such a long time since we had a juicy European costume drama dealing with sexual repression and subsequent scandalous passion that we think we need two just to make up for lost time. Hey, both...

Originally, Justin Timberlake's new sci-fi action flick was called "Now." Apparently, though, that title didn't effectively communicate what the movie was all about, which isn't exactly surprising because what the movie, now called "In Time," is all about is kinda high-concept and confusing.
Go with us (and Jt) for a second. In this cinematic future, overpopulation was a biiiiiiig problem, so scientists figured out how to slice and dice the human genome to the point where aging stops when you're 25. Seeing as how people like living and don't want to die young, time has become the new currency, something earned during work and spent like cash. How exactly time can be earned, stolen and kept track of on a fancy neon clock on your arm (as well as why everyone in the future is so damn good looking) is never really explained.
And why should it be? Confounding high-concept plots are a Hollywood staple.

News that maverick Bavarian director Werner Herzog has been cast as the villain in the forthcoming Tom Cruise thriller One Shot should come as no surprise to anyone who recognised the source of Hugo Weaving's devilishly accented performance in Captain America. There is something about Herzog's deadpan voice that suggests awesome, infinite, unworldly powers just waiting to be unleashed. It's a quality that he uses brilliantly in the documentaries that have become his signature works, enabling him to speak merrily of the "ecstatic truth" of art and the attendant "chaos, disharmony and murder" of the cosmos with a blend of quasi-religious import and pathos. When the day of reckoning comes, I half expect to hear Herzog's voice calmly separating the damned from the redeemed, the strangely comedic sound of a divinity that shapes our ends…

The coupling of Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz just gives me the creeps. I refer not to their recent marriage, which fills me with nothing but joy (well, benign indifference, anyway). No, I speak instead of the newlyweds’ forthcoming film Dream House, which judging by the trailer, looks to be a full-on creepfest reminiscent of The Others, The Orphanage, and maybe even the Craig-featuring The Jacket. Jim Sheridan’s movie also has a pair of young sisters, something that’s always good to have in a ghost story. (Just ask Stanley Kubrick!).

Temptation is the name of the game of The Jacket writer Massy Tadjedin’s quietly profound directorial debut, Last Night. The temptation of such an intriguingly sexy and good-looking cast of Keira Knightley, Sam Worthington, Eva Mendes and French actor Guillaume Canet is the film’s obvious draw, and what drives a story full of acute observations and exquisite nuances. But this slow burner, which increases in intensity and passionate purpose, really impacts after viewing, posing the thought-provoking debate of whether long-term adoration is worse than the physical act of a one-night stand?
Professional couple, Joanna (Knightley) and husband Michael Reed (Worthington) have an affluent middle-class existence and apparent marital bliss, when doubt creeps in after Joanna spots her betrothed having an intimate balcony meeting with a very attractive and flirtatious work colleague, Laura (Mendes), at a party.

Last Night
Director: Massy Tadjedin
Writer/director Massy Tadjedin’s Last Night shares its title with Don McKellar’s 1998 Canadian comedy drama about the end of the world. But despite recent biblical (non-) events, the only rapture on offer here is of the adulterous kind – in the beguiling shape of Eva Mendes and Guillaume Canet.
Joanna and Michael Reed (played by Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington) occupy one of those enviably spacious Manhattan lofts seen mainly in Hollywood movies. He’s in real estate; she’s working up to the Great American Novel by writing about fashion. Despite all that square footage, Joanna prefers to do her wardrobe changes in the middle of the kitchen. I think this is cinematic shorthand for telling us that the Reeds are very busy people.
At a lifeless office party, Michael clumsily introduces Joanna to his (not-so) new colleague Laura (Eva Mendes). Shortly afterwards,...

"A onetime yakuza turned jailbird turned filmmaking enfant terrible, the now-75-year-old Japanese director Kōji Wakamatsu has long been loved by cinema cultists for an outrageous string of 1960s provocations made under the guise of the pinku eiga — or 'pink' film." Steve Dollar at GreenCine Daily: "These typically low-budget sex romps could be as insane, surreal, or mind-bending as possible, as long as they included a minimum amount of nudity and softcore humping. Wakamatsu, seizing the opportunity, used the form to pursue the extremes, reveling in obsessive sex and violence as a leftist critique of Japanese society. Beyond the outrage and sleaze of The Embryo Hunts in Secret [1966]; Go, Go Second-Time Virgin [1969]; and Ecstasy of the Angels [1972], was a form of perverse shock treatment. Wakamatsu took a break from the camera in 1977, and didn't return for 27 years. But he still wants to mess with your head."

The eponymous prior evening of Massy Tadjedin’s Last Night takes the form of an out-of-town business trip between handsome, somewhat taciturn and very married Michael (Sam Worthington) and Laura, his sexy and very interested coworker (Eva Mendes). Or, you could view it, the “last night” is the clandestine evening spent between Sam’s beautiful author wife, Joanna (Keira Knightley) and her still-charming ex, Alex (Guillaume Canet), while Sam is away. But most accurately — and no matter what your gender or point-of-view on modern relationships is — the film’s “last night” is best considered from its morning after, when whatever rash decisions made hours before are confessed… or concealed.
With an ending that’s bound to instigate hours of date-night conversation among couples, Last Night is a skillful debut picture from screenwriter Tadjin (The Jacket) It’s the kind of serous relationship drama that isn’t made so much anymore,...

After chipping away at the mainstream with the screenplay for the 2005 psychological thriller The Jacket, screenwriter Massy Tadjedin finally makes her directorial debut this week with the subtle, sleek relationship drama Last Night. And by "finally," I mean Hollywood almost swallowed Tadjedin's film -- with a power cast including Keira Knightley, Sam Worthington amd Eva Mendes -- in one bite before it could make its way to screens.

The Tribeca Film Festival is in full swing and Last Night is one of the entries with a couple of big names...and lots of pretty:
Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington play a Manhattan married couple, apart from each other for one night and each tempted by an attractive outsider. Eva Mendes and French actor Guillaume Canet (who I initially thought was Patrick Dempsey with a bad accent) play the enticing potential bedmates. Though it seems like a simple tale of a married couple tempted to stray, I've read a couple of reviews that intimate the film is more than the sum of this trailer, which has the requisite pensive feel and moody piano. I'm not a huge Keira Knightley fan, but she is a standout in the clip and she's receiving great reviews for her performance. Plucky little accent!

The irony doesn't seem lost on Massy Tadjedin that it's taken over two years to release her directorial debut that takes place over the course of an evening, though if she has her way, the conversation about "Last Night" will outlast both. A prisoner of Miramax's slate of films that were orphaned when ownership of the company changed hands, the drama stars Sam Worthington and Keira Knightley as Michael and Joanna, a married couple that begin to have their doubts about each other when they're separated by a business trip where Michael finds himself tempted by a co-worker (Eva Mendes) and Joanna bumps into a former flame (Guillaume Canet).

Oh, infidelity. Apparently it’s tough to stay faithful when Eva Mendes and Guillaume Canet come knocking at your bedroom door. At least if you’re Keira Knightley or Sam Worthington. Last Night is the directorial debut of The Jacket writer Massy Tadjedin, and if this trailer is any indication it looks like 1) it’s fraught with internal strife and smart hand-wringing, and 2) Sam Worthington is getting a chance to act finally. This is the perfect teaser. Everything about it looks sharp, and it leaves the question of whether they will or won’t cheat on each other dangled like a chocolate-dipped carrot maddeningly out of reach. Check it out for yourself: // The title is evocative enough with its double meaning, but it looks like the journey here is going to be just as interesting as the temptation. Is there a chance it’ll be as excruciating as Closer? Maybe, but...

IFC Midnight has been busy this weekend. First they release the horribly bad trailer for a new “slasher” called Choose. Then they follow that up with a look at their upcoming thriller Wrecked. Following a very confused Adrien Brody as he awakens from a car accident in a complete daze, Wrecked clearly seems to be the better (and certainly more creative) film of the two. To see if it is a ride you are willing to take, continue reading to check out the trailer.
Forget Giallo … forget The Jacket … and in my book … forget the lack-luster Predators, and try to remember that Brody gave us the Oscar nominated performance in The Piano and the modern Frankenstein-esque Splice. The man can certainly turn in a solid performance given the right subject matter. Hopefully Wrecked is one of these better films. Wrecked is set to be released on the already overly busy date of April 1st.
