The previously posted individual ballots for Sight and Sound’s directors poll gathered up around 85 lists. However, I had refrained from posting the ballots of more unknown filmmakers.

The more explicit a film is, the more divided the reaction will be. Many film critics could not stand the excessive nature of Damien Chazelle’s “Babylon”. To the point where it is now 58% rotten on RT. Oh, well.

We can nitpick every list that’s online every day of the week and all day, but Variety is a pretty big trade and they’ve released their 100 best movies of all-time list. Attention deserves to be paid.

It looks like one of the great French filmmakers of the last 30+ years will be coming out of her unannounced retirement for, at least, one last film.

We’re still a month away from the 2023 Oscar nominees being announced, but the Academy has released shortlists of eligible contenders in 10 key categories. Now, the entire Oscar voting body will be able to choose the winners from these lists.

An Empire interview with Ridley Scott has the filmmaker looking back on the filming of “Napoleon” and his time with star Joaquin Phoenix.

Taika Waititi’s “Next Goal Wins,” starring Michael Fassbender and Elisabeth Moss, was moved to next April 21, 2023 as a release date. Now it’s been moved again, for the umpteenth time, to a September 22nd date. Final?

This will be a controversial pick. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Florence Pugh but she’s NOT one of the greatest actors of all-time. Not even close. That hasn’t stopped Empire from inserting her into their list of the 50 greatest.

I couldn’t quite figure out why Sony had been hiding “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody” from critics. The buzz hadn’t been that bad.

We already went through all the 2022 Oscar movies failing at the box-office. Some even thought Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” would have legs, but it clearly doesn’t.

Right now, as it currently stands in the Best Picture race, there are quite a few movies that practically look like sure-things for a nomination.

Variety’s Clayton Davis is actually wondering if the Oscars will ever get back to that record 57 million viewership from 1998 — that’s when “Titanic” won the big prize and James Cameron heralded himself “King of the World.”

Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun” is just having such an impressive showing this awards season. It went from premiering in Cannes’ small-ish Semaine de la Critique sidebar to becoming a total critical sensation.

Fresh off her “Happening” winning the Golden Lion at Venice last year, filmmaker Audrey Diwan announced in May she was remaking softcore porn classic “Emmanuelle” with Léa Seydoux.

I had a real chuckle reading about the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC) handing out their annual awards, but more specifically adding the Gotham Awards to their Hall of Shame for deciding to go gender-neutral this year.

I’ve gotten a few emails from Indian readers this fall telling me that they find it very amusing how westerners have fallen head over heels in love with SS Rajamouli’s “RRR.”

The Berlin Film Festival announced the premiere of a new short directed by Todd Field that expands the “TÁR” universe, it’s called “The Fundraiser.”

The madman is actually going through with it. Here are some on-set photos of Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.

James Cameron has been doing press left and right for the ‘Avatar’ sequel. However, it’s an interview on the Smartless podcast that caught my attention. In it he reveals having had discussions about bringing the “Terminator” franchise back to life:
