Guitarist Ronnie Wood has been in top name bands since the days of the second British Invasion. The earliest notable rumblings he made were when he played bass in the Jeff Beck Group, touring the U.S. in 1968 and 1969. Then he and the band's lead singer, a young gent named Rod Stewart, moved…

Here’s what’s new for home viewing on video on demand, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO and other streaming services.

Goodbye, CBS All Access. Hello, Paramount+.

At Apple's September product launch event last year, two of CEO Tim Cook's splashiest announcements were about the company's new digital subscription services: Apple Arcade and Apple TV+.

"Mulan" was designed to be a blockbuster in China. But so far, the Disney film is off to a pretty anemic start at the Chinese box office.

A top Disney executive has acknowledged that the uproar over its movie "Mulan" has caused "issues" for the company.

This is a terrific documentary about the peanut farmer (high school valedictorian, Navy lieutenant, church deacon, Georgia state senator and Georgia governor) who became the 39th President of the United States. It's got archival footage of long-ago campaigns, old family photos, and interview…

After multiple delays and an international release, "Tenet" finally opened in the United States this weekend.

In their live-action remake of "Mulan," the folks at Disney have omitted many ingredients from the animated 1998 original. But that's fine because of what they've added to it. The significance of those omissions and additions is a reason to celebrate. The new version, in areas of writing, di…

It doesn't get any easier to review or understand or even think clearly about movies written by - better yet, written and directed by - Charlie Kaufman. The former include "Being John Malkovich," "Adaptation.", and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." In the latter camp is "Synecdoche, N…

When Disney announced that it would be releasing "Mulan" on Disney+, one number stuck out: $30. That's how much Disney is charging viewers to watch the blockbuster when it debuts next week on its new streaming service.

Chadwick Boseman, the man who brought "Black Panther" to life, has died.

This is not, I repeat, not, a mockumentary. Admit it: When you heard there was a documentary about the actor David Arquette, who starred in the "Scream" movies, and his involvement in the predetermined-outcome world of professional wrestling, you thought, "Fake documentary. Silly stuff."

First, a note about the title. Why all the extra words? Why isn't it just called "David Copperfield?" You should be grateful. The Charles Dickens novel, published serially beginning in 1849, was known as "The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield the …

There's a wrenching moment in the teen romance "Words on Bathroom Walls" in which a character draws a stark, shameful contrast between how society treats a child with cancer and one with a mental disorder like schizophrenia. Why, he asks, do we allow the former to "make a wish," while "wishi…

"I'm vengeance."

For the first time in roughly five months, AMC Theatres will pop the popcorn, dim the lights, and start the show.

Here are a couple of things you might know about the Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla: There's a pricey electric car named after him. He invented the Tesla Coil - a transformer that produces high voltages at low currents. Here are a couple you probably don't know: He held close to 200 …

You don't have to wait very long for things to get cooking in this engaging thriller about an illicit drug that can bring out the innate super power in each of us ... and how easy it would be to use that drug or those powers for all the wrong purposes.

This is not actor James D'Arcy's first encounter with writing and directing a film. He had that experience a few years ago with an oddball comic short titled "Chicken/Egg," which starred Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, then in his sixth season as Jamie Lannister on "Game of Thrones" (the short is cur…

The Red Army hockey team has quite a history behind it, one that can be easily summed up: Before the fall of the Soviet Union, at the tail end of 1991, they were universally known as the best hockey team in the world. Not long after the new Russian state was established, they fell out of fav…

Four words flash across the screen before this film's opening credits: Love, Honor, Loyalty, Family. And in the first few minutes, it appears to be the story of a close-knit family - dad, mom, two kids - happy together in suburban L.A.

It wouldn't have been much of a stretch if Dave Franco was among the four actors starring in "The Rental," which initially appears to be one of those oh-so-common horror films about people looking for a relaxing getaway in some isolated setting, but end up being hunted down by a psycho killer.

When the subject of novels by C.S. Forester pops up at cocktail parties, film adaptations of them that immediately come to mind are "The African Queen" (script by James Agee and John Huston) and "Sink the Bismark!" (script by Edmund H. North). I wasn't familiar with Forester's 1955 book "The…

Saroj Khan, a celebrated Indian choreographer behind some of Bollywood's biggest productions, has died aged 71, her doctor has told CNN.

Filmmaker Rod Lurie ("The Contender," "Straw Dogs") had a whole different career before he sat down to write scripts and step behind the camera to direct movies. He was a film critic, both in print - for the Greenwich News, the New York Daily News, Los Angeles Magazine - and on radio - KABC.

The practice of pairing beefy blokes with precocious kids continues with the congenial family action-comedy "My Spy." With muscles on top of muscles, Dave Bautista (Drax from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies) plays a burly ex-Special Forces-turned-CIA agent who has a knack for kicking bu…

"Babyteeth," a dramatic - sometimes melodramatic - and troubling film about a once close-knit Australian family that's challenged by their daughter's illness, wastes no time in setting up how its story is going to be told.

It's always a challenge to figure out how to begin a movie, to choose what the very first shot should be. That task is handily and appropriately and endearingly accomplished in this documentary about fathers. It opens with 39-year-old video footage of its director - Bryce Dallas Howard - bei…

I've struggled to become a fan of "SNL" breakout Pete Davidson. He's peculiar and his humor is equally bizarre. But in the autumn of 2018 he earned my respect by owning up to insensitively mocking Texas Congressman-elect Dan Crenshaw, a decorated war hero who lost an eye in combat. In a fine…

"I'm not one for the dramatic." So says Elisabeth Moss in her Bette Davis-lite portrayal of author Shirley Jackson in the starkly titled "Shirley." That statement is ironic since most of Josephine Decker's follow-up to 2018's "Madeline's Madeline" is a succession of actorly hysterics in serv…

ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp announced recently a filming “best practices” guide for Georgia that offers guidance for Georgia’s thriving film and television industries to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 when productions resume in Georgia. The recommendations were developed in close cooperati…

HBO Max, AT&T's bet-the-farm streaming service, is about to take on Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu. It has a lot going for it: a deep content vault and the exclusive streaming home for DC superheroes, Turner Classic Movies and some of the world's most celebrated TV shows. But it comes with a …

Fans have begged for Warner Bros. to release the infamous "Snyder Cut" of "Justice League" and on Wednesday, those prayers were answered.

With theaters closed because of coronavirus, studios are shifting all types of films to digital platforms. Yet one genre is largely missing from Hollywood's digital revolution: blockbusters.

With "How to Build a Girl," screenwriter Caitlin Moran aims for a John Hughes-style coming-of-age dramedy inspired by her semi-biographical novel. For the most part, Moran and director Coky Giedroyc hit the mark in their portrayal of a 16-year-old reinventing herself as a rock critic.

If you're 17 and reside in a backward backwater in Pennsylvania, your choices are slim, especially if you're alone and pregnant. That's the situation a bitter, angry Autumn Callahan finds herself in at the start of Eliza Hittman's harrowing "Never Rarely Sometimes Always." And the source of …

After sitting in escrow for four months, fledgling Apple TV+ stakes its first public offering on an in-house movie in "The Banker," an old-fashioned biopic with a thoroughly modern twist on the uphill climb of aspiring African American entrepreneurs. Although its claim of being "true" has be…
