“I remember seeing a film that became really formative for me called ‘Ruby in Paradise.’ It was a film about a young woman finding herself. It’s a simple film. A beautiful film. And I thought, ‘Wow. I didn’t know a film could be like this.’ I’d never seen anything like this before.”

That was director Ava DuVernay in the documentary “Only in Theaters” talking about “Ruby in Paradise,” winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival and one of several exquisitely crafted dramas from Florida writer-director Victor Nunez. Since his feature debut “Gal Young Un” in 1979, Nunez has slowly, quietly, and consistently built one of the American independent cinema’s most vital bodies of work, one centered around complex regional character studies like “Ruby” and its follow-up “Ulee’s Gold,” for which Peter Fonda was nominated for an Oscar.

These films, along with Nunez’s 1984 masterpiece “A Flash of Green,...

Wallows finally find their way to Schaefer’s party in the Nineties teen movie-inspired video for their new, Ariel Rechtshaid-produced single “Nobody Gets Me (Like You).” It’s the lead single off their upcoming quarantine-made EP Remote, which will be released on October 23rd.

The video for “Nobody Gets Me” picks up where the video for “Ok” left off. Both were directed by Dillon Dowell and embody all the classic tropes of Nineties and early Aughts teen comedies. In “Ok,” the trio make a psychedelic fast food run on...

Lethal vengeance is a potent muse in M.F.A., Natalia Leite's film about an art student who takes the issue of unprosecuted campus rape into her own hands. Gratifying on a wish-fulfillment level (especially during the current avalanche of rape and assault reports), the picture is somewhat less satisfying conceptually, seeming to take conflicting positions on its protagonist's schemes at the same time. Still, it should trigger a positive visceral response for many during in its art house run.

Francesca Eastwood (daughter of Frances Fisher and Clint Eastwood) plays Noelle, a California art student having trouble finding a voice. Her fellow...

We salute one of Hollywood’s most underappreciated actors, and pick out ten of Timothy Olyphant’s finest movies...

Like so many of my on-screen heroes, Timothy Olyphant manages to fit the profile of being utterly superb and massively underappreciated, with the constant ability to make every film he’s in better.

Despite appearances in some high profile movies, a starring role that will launch him to the level he deserves, one that cements his name in mainstream consciousness, still seems elusive.

Olyphant’s TV work has seen success from the swear-a-thon that is Deadwood, a recurring role in Damages with Glenn Close and as Raylan Givens, the cowboy hat wearing, shoot first, ask questions later U.S. Marshall in Justified, whose second series is currently airing on FX.

He’s now on our screens in DreamWorks’ I Am Number Four, as well as lending his voice to the fantastic-looking Rango,...

He made his mark in the HBO western Deadwood. Now Timothy Olyphant is playing another lawman in the upcoming Justified

Timothy Olyphant is thinking about the Sex Pistols. "I was at an Arlo Guthrie show at UCLA last week," he says, rolling his eyes at the thought of the ancient singer of the hippy anthem Alice's Restaurant. "I just remember thinking, 'Man, if [former Pistols guitarist] Steve Jones was here he'd start booing,' and I really, really wanted to do the booing for him. Man, that show was a snore – I just didn't believe a word that came out of their mouths."

Punk credentials firmly established, Olyphant sips his latte, which has a perfect heart sculpted into its milky surface. The Steve Jones connection isn't so odd. For years, the ex-Pistol had the lunchtime spot ("Jonesey's Jukebox") on La radio station Indie 103.1. The show before that had Olyphant as its on-air, unpaid sports commentator.
