As controversy builds around “Richard Jewell” and its depiction of female journalists, it’s nothing new for women music writers on the silver screen.
Although “Crazy Heart,” which premiered 10 years ago this month, was basically 2009’s equivalent of Bradley Cooper’s remake of “A Star Is Born,” it hasn’t had quite the staying power of some other archetypal music-based films. Jeff Bridges won his first Oscar for his portrayal of a washed-up, alcoholic country singer, and Maggie Gyllenhaal was nominated for her performance as the much younger love interest who tries to save him from self-destruction. The main difference in this film written and directed by Scott Cooper (no relation to Bradley) is that Gyllenhaal’s character is not a fellow singer-songwriter ripe for mentoring, but rather an aspiring journalist in search of a story.
Before long, however, business and pleasure intermingle and Bridges and Gyllenhaal wake up in...

Steeped in auto-fiction, crisscrossing between memoir and artifice until the distinction hardly matters, much of Noah Baumbach’s cinema responds to an urge to heal. His 1995 debut feature Kicking and Screaming chronicled a father’s struggle to overcome a post-college days spleen; the 2005 The Squid and the Whale a son surviving his parents’ divorce; Margot at the Wedding (2007) and The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017) focus on dysfunctional families fighting and exorcising feuds and traumas, a theme that’s also traversed many a collaboration between Baumbach and Greta Gerwig—surfacing perhaps most evidently in the 2015 Mistress America. Another study of broken families, Marriage Story feels like treading into familiar turf. Chronologically, it’s a follow-up to The Meyerowitz Stories; thematically, it harkens back to the portrait of a couple’s collapse dissected in The Squid and the Whale—this time told not from a child’s perspective, but from the parents’ own.

Actor Jeff Goldblum has once again come out in defense of director Woody Allen. In an interview with British outlet The i, the actor said he would work with Allen again, repeating statements he has made before.
“I think there is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty,” Goldblum said. “I know I enjoyed working with him many years ago and I sat in with his band once too.”
Goldblum appeared briefly in 1977’s Annie Hall. His support for Allen is not mirrored throughout Hollywood, where many believe the claims of Dylan Farrow, who said she was molested as a child by Allen. He has denied the claims and investigations of the alleged actions have not produced criminal actions.
Despite his defense of Allen, Goldblum said he supports the outing of sexual harassers in the business, “even though I feel like this cultural shift is very, very positive and long...

Seems quite appropriate to review this, as my last review was for a comic starring Lois Lane. Just as she will forever be ‘Superman’s girlfriend’, Mary Jane Watson will forever be ‘Spider-Man’s girlfriend’. The key difference between the two I guess is that Lois Lane had actually featured in quite a lot of comics down the years, not just as a supporting character but in her own title and her own back up stories. Mary Jane has seen a lot of page time, but rarely front and centre, usually as part of Spidey’s supporting cast. I must admit, in recent years I have drifted in and out of the Spidey titles, Brand New Day being the jumping off point for me, so not quite sure what the status quo is anymore. Are Peter and Mary Jane together again?...

Alas. All good things must come to an end at some point. Yes folks, this is the final installment of the second go-around of this series of mine, and as such, it’s (hopefully) a bit of a doozy…the Best Picture field. Without a doubt, this is the big one, so it’s the one where the list will be the most important and I hope interesting to look at as well. Hopefully you’ve all been looking forward to it as well. Obviously, I could go on and on in preparation right now, waxing poetic and teasing, but at this point I know how the game works here for everyone. You all just want to see the lists that I do anyhow, so I have no problem obliging you good people there in that particular regard one more time. All you have to do is just be patient...

As I always like to say when I start this series in the middle of the summer, it’s one thing to read early Academy Award predictions to see what folks like myself think will happen at the end of the year. However, it’s another thing entirely to actually know which films will be in contention. To that end, once a week (or maybe twice a week in certain situations) for the next month or so I’ll be running down some of the major contenders in each Oscar category. It’s a good way to prep for Oscar season. Basically, the format will have me saying a few words about what/who I feel are the top tier contenders right now in said categories, along with a longer list afterwards of many of the other hopefuls. Consider this a sort of pre awards season cheat sheet for you all,...

The remains of what are believed to be that of Seinfeld and Night Court Charles Levin were found after he had been reported missing from Grants Pass in Oregon on July 8.
According to The Oregonian, Levin’s son hadn’t heard from his father for several days. Levin owned an orange Fiat and was almost always in the company of his dog Boo Boo Bear. On Friday, search and rescue crews narrowed down the search based on Gps data from Levin’s cell phone to an area near the town of Selma, which is southwest of Grants Pass. A resident found Levin’s car in a “remote and almost impassable road” and inside officials Levin’s dog who was dead. The crews searching the surrounding rough terrain found human remains.
“Based on the circumstances, there is a high probability that the remains are those of Charles Levin,” the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety said.

Diane Keaton is many things (an Oscar-winning actress, an author, a mother), but she never wanted to be a wife. Why? She doesn’t think she’s built for it.
“I think that I’m strange,” Keaton–who’s now starring in her 58th film, Poms–-says in a wide-ranging interview for this week’s issue of People. She talks about her two children, daughter Dexter, 23, and son Duke, 18; the importance of being kind to animals and insects; and what she’s learned so far.
“I don’t know anything, and I haven’t learned,” she insists. “Getting older hasn’t made me wiser.

In addition to everything else Someone Great is — a break-up comedy, a killer soundtrack, a girls-together-outrageously romp — it’s a movie about music fans, people who live their lives and suffer and fuck up and bond and grieve while obsessing over their favorite songs.

Amazon Studios is defending its decision to cut ties with Woody Allen in response to his $68 million breach of contract lawsuit.
The streaming giant says the director “sabotag[ed]” efforts to promote his films by repeatedly weighing in on the #MeToo movement and the allegations of sexual abuse put forth by daughter Dylan Farrow.
Amazon and Allen signed a four-film agreement in August 2017, just months before Allen’s son Ronan Farrow published an article in the New Yorker exposing allegations of sexual misconduct against Harvey Weinstein.

As a young film-maker’s career teeters on the brink of disaster, a surprise love affair forces him to rethink the path to happiness
Simon Amstell’s funny, charming and overpoweringly personal comedy is a nervous romance, in which both parties get to be Annie Hall. Amstell creates a detailed ecosystem of in-jokes from the worlds of media and film, and from that cynical context he conjures a miraculously heartfelt love story, sweet and poignant in all its awkwardness.
Colin Morgan plays Benjamin, a once promising young film-maker drowning in self-deprecation and self-doubt: the ironic humour of these personal modes is souring, now that actual failure may be on the cards. He is hyper-aware that a lot of time has passed since his award-winning debut and is now terrified (with good reason) that his follow-up is a disaster.

Here is a really fun trailer and poster (above) for a movie I hadn’t previously heard of called Poms. I mistakenly prejudged it for being another teen cheerleader movie that I wouldn’t care anything about, but then watched the trailer and realized it is a geriatric cheerleader movie, and I am in! The cast is amazing, and includes Diane Keaton, Pam Grier, Jacki Weaver, Rhea Perlman, Alisha Boe, and many more.
The movie is about a woman (Keaton), who moves into a retirement community, and begrudgingly makes new friends who help her along and pull her out of her shell to start a cheerleading team for the ladies in the community. The ladies recruit a teenager (Boe) to choreograph and lead them to compete. The movie is obviously about friendship and living your best life, with lots of humor and fun in seeing old ladies learn to cheer,...

“I really can’t comment on anything about that,” Jennifer Salke said Wednesday when asked about the multimillion-dollar lawsuit Woody Allen filed against Amazon Studios last week.
“It predated me, and now that it is in litigation, I can’t make any comments on it at all,” the Amazon Studios boss added, also dodging responses to the fate of Allen’s completed but shelved Rainy Day in New York film at the center of the suit.
The film, starring Jude Law, Selena Gomez, Elle Fanning, Diego Luna, Liev Schreiber and Timothée Chalamet, was part of Allen and Amazon’s four-picture deal inked in 2017 kicked to the curb last year. The Oscar-winning director is now hoping to squeeze about $68 million in compensation out of Amazon for the scotched contract, which went south resurfaced amid allegations of Allen engaging in improper sexual conduct with his daughter Dylan Farrow decades ago.

The sight of Tom Cruise sporting a pair of Ray bans in 1983’s Risky Business gave a huge boost to the company. Though Cameron Frye’s house from Ferris Bueller took five years to sell, it remains an iconic location for film fans and architects alike. Diane Keaton used her own wardrobe in 1977’s Annie Hall and inspired a new phase of women’s fashion. There are numerous examples of how cinema’s visual stylings influences the audience.

In Nicole Holofcener’s sixth feature, adapted from Ted Thompson’s 2014 novel, a man’s midlife crisis is rendered with tragicomic sincerity
The women of writer-director Nicole Holofcener’s films have often been described as “dysfunctional” or “complicated”, the most rote of the catchwords used to suggest a kind of tough-as-nails realism. They are women, frequently single, sharp-tongued and exasperating, who evoke Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking Nordic anti-heroines, Nora Helmer and Hedda Gabler and Helene Alving, and the comic neuroses of Woody Allen, of whom Holofcener has been called the female counterpart. Like some, but not all, of Allen’s women – I’m thinking of Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives, Mia Farrow in The Purple Rose of Cairo and, of course, Diane Keaton in Annie Hall – Holofcener’s protagonists are flawed, wry, introspective and modern. They’re easy to love on-screen, if less so to the people they’re on-screen with.

It is ironic that Neil Simon, who died today at 91, got his inspiration to become a comedy writer from the movies into which he constantly escaped to forget the circumstances of his poor depression-era childhood. Even though he grew up in Washington Heights, much closer to Broadway than Hollywood, it was always the movies of the likes of Chaplin , Keaton and others that stuck with him and led to one of the most sterling careers ever for a writer. Yet by far his greatest success and appreciation came as one of the most successful playwrights of all time, a record of accomplishment that included a whopping 17 Tony nominations and three wins, a Pulitizer Prize for drama, and even as the rare playwright to have a theatre named after him. “I always feel more like a writer when I’m writing a play because of the tradition of the theater … there...

Sophie Brooks’s lo-fi comedy The Boy Downstairs is idealistic, romantic and anticlimactic. There is a slightness to this that is both virtue and vice: it wears its generic form and antecedents lightly, unconcerned with looking derivative or cheesy. We even get a grievingly bittersweet end-of-relationship montage of happiest moments, in the manner of Annie Hall, used in numberless romcoms since then and indeed in reality TV shows for the outgoing contestant. It also features a writer who works on a MacBook with an air of mild Carrie Bradshaw-type vexation, actually closing up the laptop when she needs to think about what she has just written.

House flipping Hollywood icon Diane Keaton, currently appearing on the silver screen in the star-studded comedy “Book Club,” which Variety’s own Dennis Harvey described as a “comfort-food movie that’s been pre-masticated by committee to the consistency of pudding (with even less flavor),” set her well-honed real estate sights on downtown Tucson, Ariz., with the $1.5 million purchase of a restored 1890s Sonoran row house in the historic, gritty and rapidly gentrifying Barrio Viejo neighborhood just south of the desert city’s downtown core. The limestone-sheathed adobe structure, which arguably resembles a commercial building or even a motel more than a traditional private residence, dates to the 1890s and is finished with fresh white stucco on the exterior. Exposed adobe and mud-plastered interior walls honor the region’s architectural roots and anchors the residence to Tucson’s history which, being just 60 miles north of the border, is inextricably intertwined with Mexico.

Woody Allen is wading deep into the conversation surrounding the #MeToo movement that has rocked Hollywood in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal — by saying he should be its “poster boy.”
The 82-year-old director told Argentinian news program Periodismo Para Todos that he was a “big advocate” of the #MeToo movement, according to Quartz.
“I feel when they find people who harass innocent women and men, it’s a good thing that they’re exposing them,” he explained. “But you know I, I should be the poster boy for the Me Too movement. Because I have worked in movies for 50 years.

From a psychological perspective, a movie provides a portal to other worlds. It appeals to our desire for escape: exciting our imaginations and presenting moving images that bring to life our wildest dreams and our worst fears. The distance from the action we experience in the movie theatre or in front of the small screen constructs a protective sheath between you and the action. We become voyeurs; engaged in someone else’s drama – safe from the perils that the protagonist is forced to face.
The fourth wall, therefore, is the long-established, imaginary barrier between us and the action. We can peek in; safe from harm. Breaking the fourth wall is a commonly used device in theatre – so familiar, in fact, that we’re unsurprised when one of the characters suddenly steps out of the action and addresses us – the audience – directly.

“That movie meant the world to me,” he explained. “It was a turning point in my career. I was working with one of the great American filmmakers.”

A pair of twenty-something filmmakers made a 30-minute short called “My Annie Hall,” starring members of a New York City senior center. Matt Starr and Ellie Sachs did not seek writer-director Woody Allen’s approval to use copyrighted material from “Annie Hall” — the winner of four Oscars, including Best Picture of 1978 — but received it nonetheless. Allen’s publicist told The New York Times via email that the 82-year-old auteur “thought it was funny,” and “saw no reason to interfere with those seniors’ enjoyment of life.”
The project began after Starr was pleased to learn that watching “Casablanca” with his grandmother — a dementia patient — allowed them to have a normal conversation. He and his girlfriend and fellow artist, Sachs, next led a weekly Interpretive Cinema class at the Upper East Side’s Lenox Hill Neighborhood House. They showed their students 10 classic trailers, took a vote, and then decided to make their own version of “Annie Hall.

Two more famous Woody Allen alums are debating whether or not they would work with the director again in light of the abuse allegations levied against him.
“It’s such a complicated question,” Peter Sarsgaard recently told MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Meet the Press. “I believe people when they say ‘I was assaulted’ or ‘I was molested’ or something like that, because I don’t think you really have any other choice. Because if we start not believing people it’s a slippery slope.”

Every year, Hollywood spends millions chasing little gold men. The Academy Award is the film industry’s highest honor — unless you’re the box office, in which case it’s a trivial pursuit. IndieWire surveyed 89 years of Best Picture winners and nominees, and discovered that in the last two decades, the top-grossing domestic film corresponded with the Best Picture winner exactly once, with “The Lord of the Rings” in 2003. (Before that, odds were substantially better; it happened more than 25% of the time.)
Similarly, until recently almost every Best Picture winner was one of the year’s top 20 domestic grossers; in the last seven years, only one winner can claim that bragging right: 2011 Best Picture winner “The King’s Speech,” which earned $135 million and a No. 18 slot. Other placements range from No. 22 (2013 winner “Argo,” $136 million) to No. 92 (2017 winner “Moonlight,” $27.5 million).

What happened between Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow one afternoon in August 1992 has been in dispute for 25 years. On Monday, his “Annie Hall” co-star Diane Keaton pledged her support for him – but many others are abandoning the filmmaker. Actors including Timothee Chalamet and “Lady Bird” director Greta Gerwig have distanced themselves from Allen. The New York Times ran a story Sunday with the headline “Can Woody Allen Work in Hollywood Again?” Dylan Farrow has said actors who continue to work with Allen are “complicit” — but Allen has accused her mother, Mia Farrow, of “relentlessly coaching” Dylan Farrow as a...

Frances McDormand (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”), Saoirse Ronan (“Lady Bird”), Sally Hawkins (“The Shape of Water”), Meryl Streep (“The Post”) and Margot Robbie (“I, Tonya”) have long been our predicted Best Actress Oscar nominees. If they all make the cut, along with their films in Best Picture, they’d join a very exclusive club: It’d be first Best Actress slate in 40 years and just the fifth overall where everyone is in a film nominated for Best Picture.
The only other times this has occurred were for the film years 1934, 1939, 1940 and 1977 — but many of them come with caveats. In 1934, there were still only three acting nominees — winner Claudette Colbert (“It Happened One Night”), Grace Moore (“One Night of Love”) and Norma Shearer (“The Barretts of Wimpole Street”) — and 12 Best Picture nominees, before the academy standardized the categories to five each.
