IndieWire’s Eric Kohn and Anne Thompson believe “These Oscar Categories Are the Hardest to Predict.” Posted on 02.11.23 —

Alex Garland started shooting “Civil War” just a few weeks before premiering “Men” at Cannes in the Directors’ Fortnight section.

After Martin Scorsese, another master of the craft was enthralled by Todd Field’s “TÁR.”

Charlie Kaufman’s latest endeavour, a short film titled “Jackals & Fireflies,” just made its theatrical debut, playing alongside “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” at New York City’s IFC Center on Thursday.

Vin Diesel and company are back for “Fast X” and I honestly couldn’t care less about it. There will be big guns, big muscles, big cars and, really, just big everything because this is America and it’s go big or go home.

I really liked Danielle Deadwyler’s performance in “Till,” which was a mostly subdued, maybe too much so, well-shot, but semi-bland depiction of the Emmett Till tragedy.

The upcoming film is a biopic based on the life of Leonard Bernstein. It is said to span over 30 years, telling the story of the marriage between Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre.

So, much like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg is a major fan of SS Rajamouli’s “RRR.” In a conversation with Rajamouli, Spielberg praised the Indian blockbuster as “eye candy.”

After gracing us with “X,” and “Pearl” this year, filmmaker Ti West will start production in April on his trilogy capper “MaXXXine.”

As mentioned a few days ago, “Creed III” test-screened through the roof a few months ago, with Jonathan Majors highlighted as the best villain of the trilogy.

The bad news for Disney is that “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” wasn’t directed by James Cameron.

L.A. Magazine has an eye-opening interview with former Paramount head honcho Barry Diller. He used to run the studio in the ‘70s and ‘80s before heading to 20th Century Fox in the ‘90s.

Fresh off the triumphant “Amsterdam” (I kid) David O. Russell has been tapped to direct Sacha Baron Cohen and Keke Palmer in “Super Toys.”

The MPAA strikes again.

Although Pedro Almodovar is fully on-board Ana De Armas winning Best Actress for “Blonde,” he seems to be, for good reason, a major fan of Todd Field’s “TÁR.”

The just-released trailer gives off good vibes for its commercial prospects. It’s, at the very least, an interesting true story that will lure plenty of people. Ben Affleck’s hair is odd though. Matt Damon, as always, looks great.

With barely any good movies out there, I’m looking for some good recommendations for a limited series I might have missed over the years.

The sheer brilliance of “Toy Story 3” and the way its ending seemed to resonate so perfectly, so deeply, made it, by all senses of the term, a perfect trilogy capper.
