Del Toro literally JUST finished the film, By Sarah • Sep 16, 2021 01:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews I’m Thinking of Ending Things is Charlie Kaufman’s Twilight Zone Charlie Kaufman’s latest film, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, is an existential pretzel, as all of Kaufman’s films are. The terrible existence of other people preoccupies Kaufman, and in Ending Things he presumes the worst of his protagonist in a most insidious way. Adapted by Kaufman from By Sarah • Sep 03, 2020 11:43 am
Movie Reviews and Previews A new Charlie Kaufman head trip Charlie Kaufman does not make what anyone could describe as “linear” films. His films, whether he’s writing them, like Adaptation., Being John Malkovich, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or also directing them, like Synedoche, New York and Anomalisa, can best be described as “imaginative existential head trips” By Sarah • Aug 07, 2020 12:41 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews All the stars in Knives Out Pre-Star Wars, Rian Johnson made his name as a director on twisty-turny genre pieces Brick, The Brothers Bloom (vastly underappreciated), and Looper. Then he went off and made a Star War and a very vocal fragment of the fandom pooped their Pampers over The Last Jedi, an argument which continues By Sarah • Jul 03, 2019 10:12 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Toni Collete in Hereditary Billed out of Sundance as the next Rosemary’s Baby and/or Exorcist, and hailed as the most terrifying movie you’ll ever see, Hereditary had an impossible hill of hype to climb.

Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Drew Barrymore & Toni Collette in Miss You Already Cancer, the toxic monster that not only attacks the body, but every relationship a person has. In this film it tests the strength of the lifelong friendship between Milly (Toni Collette) and Jess (Drew Barrymore), and these two have already been to hell and back with each other.

Toni Collette Face or Body: Toni Collette edition Here’s Toni Collette at the premiere of The Way, Way Back in LA last night. Great jumpsuit. Not really feeling the fringe, but I rarely do.
