Before ‘Saturday Night,’ Watch Gabriel LaBelle in This Coming-of-Age Comedy Now Streaming

Getting cast as the lead in aSteven Spielbergfilm is a pretty great way to kickstart a career, andGabriel Labellewas offered the chance to prove himself when he took on the lead role of Sammy Fabelman inThe Fabelmans.

This year was worse than ever: fromKristen StewarttoNicole Kidman,everynominated actress this year, and a few who were snubbed, has a parasocial cult to their name....

Crush Works Because Queer Joy Is Expected

Romantic comedieshave this sense of predictability. They are formulaic, and that formula has worked for so long. It isn’t always good; it sometimes brings a film down, but then there are times when it plays into those tropes that we know, and everything just falls into place. Times where using tropes and predictability works for the better;Hulu’sCrushis one of those times. Queer happiness is often not a given in films and television shows....

Desierto Review: Good Action, Troubled Allegory

In many waysDesierto,the second film directed byJonas Cuarón, is quite similar to that blockbuster that he just wrote with his father Alfonso,Gravity. Both movies are stripped down survivalist action flicks that have deliver the goods conceptually and viscerally as genre entertainment. However, both also have an allegorical angle to their action that doesn’t work nearly as well as the surface qualities, even though it’s suppose to enhance them. WhileGravityeasily masked its weakness by doubling down on transcendent technique to keep brains at bay,Desiertotakes on overtly political themes head on, so the unfortunately simplistic and sentimental explorations of that material are all the more apparent....

Halloween: International Trailer Reveals More Footage

A new international trailer forDavid Gordon Green’s upcoming horror revisitHalloweenshows off even more footage than thenew trailerthat was released just yesterday. When it comes to paying homage to the original film, Michael Myers' particular brand of stalking and killing (and fashion), and the slasher sub-genre in general, this new cut is super sharp. But when it comes to offering something different or ::gasp:: compelling, it falls a bit short. As much as I loveJamie Lee Curtis, her character Laurie Strode is basically a 60-something, White gun-nut in suburban America, a doomsday prepper with delusions of grandeur; unless this script does something unexpected with that character as a reflection of the actual evils in our modern society, I’m not particularly interested in it....
