Superman introduces a trio of superheroes who operate as a corporatized team funded by Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn). The Justice Gang - a temporary name (probably) - consists of Green Lantern Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), but the group gains a fourth member by the end of the movie.

Spoilers ahead.

There was some speculation that the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) might end up joining the ranks of the Justice Gang to form the basis for the team that will eventually become the Justice League, but it's actually Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan) who winds up becoming a member.

Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) coerces the Element Man into transforming his arm into Kryptonite and holding Superman at bay, but after witnessing Lex shoot a man in cold blood, Kal-El manages to convince Rex Reed to join the heroes as they attempt to stop a black hole from destroying Metropolis,...

Although It Ends With Us led to never-ending lawsuits and legal drama, the movie was a major commercial success for Wayfarer Studios and Sony. Now, Wayfarer's latest theatrical release, alongside Levantine Films and distributed by Blue Harbor Entertainment, is proving to be a critical hit.

A Nice Indian Boy has just received a Certified Fresh badge, Rotten Tomatoes confirmed. The LGBTQ+ rom-com premiered in early March at the South by Southwest festival, with a release recently on Apr. 4. Since then, the rom-com has enchanted both the critics and the audience, who gave it a near-perfect score, offering a rare agreement between both camps.

#ANiceIndianBoy is officially Certified Fresh! https://t.co/90e9XJv3M0pic.twitter.com/JuH2ThR8ME— Rotten Tomatoes (@RottenTomatoes) April 13, 2025

A Nice Indian Boy follows Naveen, an Indian-American doctor, who brings his fiancé Jay, a white man adopted by Indian parents, to meet his traditional family.

Somewhere amid the mounds of "content" on Netflix's servers are some pretty good romantic comedies. The streamer isn't too bad when it comes to this particular genre, offering everything from beloved '90s classics such as "Notting Hill" to more modern hits such as Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney's frisky and fun "Anyone But You." Sadly, "Life or Something Like It" probably won't be making any lists of the best Netflix rom-coms anytime soon — though there might be hope yet.

What on earth is "Life or Something Like It?" Well, that sort of gets to the issue with this movie, which is that nobody saw it when it debuted in theaters back in 2002. Starring Angelina Jolie and Edward Burns, the film follows a reporter who interviews a supposed prophet, only to be told that her demise is imminent and that she's wasting her life. Yes, this is a rom-com,...

How well a movie performs at the box office is just as often a function of how well it's marketed as how well it's made. The current number 1 movie on Netflix in the U.S. is a perfect example of this. The marketing of any movie begins with the title. And, wow, did they ever miss on this one.

The movie in question is To Catch a Killer, a solid suspense film released in 2023. It came out on April 21st and almost immediately disappeared from movie screens everywhere. In case you forgot, this was the year of BarbenHeimer. Barbie grossed $1.45 billion, while Oppenheimer took in $976 million. Oh, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie wedged between them with the tidy sum of $1.36 billion.

To Catch a Killer wasn't quite as popular. It brought in the grand sum of $3,138,750. That's three million, not three billion. I mean, you and I would be...

Your favorite streamer and mine is adding over a dozen new shows and movies this week. We are talking about Netflix, right? *Author checks input in AI prompt.* Yep, it's Netflix.

Hello there, happy people. After a couple of weeks of massive amounts of new content, Netflix has calmed down a bit. We'll "only" get a little over a dozen new releases this week. Yay, that's more time to warm up another mug of hot chocolate.

Alright now, here's what you do. Skip that Swiss Miss and Carnation junk. Get yourself a quart saucepan and fill it to within an inch of the top with some rich, full-fat milk. Straight from the farm, if you can. Now chop up a 70 percent cacao chocolate bar, and melt that bad boy into a pot of liquid joy. Toss in some chipotle chilis for the real stuff.

Now, just keep that heat low...

In her documentary “Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore,” the star continues to explore the at times lonesome space she has occupied since bursting on the scene in 1986: that of being a representative for deaf people, and being herself. For more than three decades, Matlin was the only deaf performer to have won an Oscar, and among the few to have what could be considered a mainstream acting career. That changed when Troy Kotsur, her co-star in the 2021 Oscar-winning drama “Coda,” took home the prize for best supporting actor.

At 19, Matlin was cast opposite William Hurt in the adaptation of the play “Children of a Lesser God.” She portrayed Sarah Norman, a janitor in a school for the deaf. Hurt’s character is a speech teacher. She resists speaking. He says he won’t push her to speak but then does. After production, Hurt became Matlin’s romantic partner. So,...

For years, David Fincher’s Fight Club has ignited storms of controversy for its unique theme, which tends to offer a visceral study of disaffected men and male rage. Starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, this 1999 film was no stranger to polarizing opinions, with its bold themes, gritty storytelling, and unapologetic critique of societal norms.

Even though today, it is considered a cultural touchstone in the history of cinema, critics have continued to dismiss it as an offensive and nihilistic film with nothing substantive to say about the real world we live in. However, Pitt and Norton have never been the ones to take such harsh criticism lying down and once blasted the critics with their unrelenting wit.

When Fight Club...

Once upon a time in late night television, it was customary for talk shows to fill up their couches as the evening's episode progressed. The first guest would do their segment and then move down a spot on the adjacent couch, making room for the next guest to yap with Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett or whoever. What with the barnacle presence of sidekick Ed McMahon, Carson's couch could get especially crowded some nights. Sometimes this got tense (like the time Burt Reynolds inexplicably went after "Double Dare" host Mark Summers on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"); sometimes it was chaotic comedy bliss (which is what happens when you ask Carson to rein in the irrepressible duo of Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters); and sometimes it was just plain surreal.

This tradition started to fade out of fashion in the 1980s when "Late Night with David Letterman" introduced its one-guest-at-a-time approach.

Following its recent debacle involving fabricated trailer quotes, Lionsgate’s Francis Ford Coppola epic Megalopolis has cut ties with marketing consultant Eddie Egan, sources have confirmed to Deadline.

Lionsgate declined comment. But we hear that the quotes featured in yesterday’s trailer, revealed by Vulture to be fake, were found to have been generated by AI following an investigation. The materials fell under the purview of Egan, who prior to his work as an independent consultant, held executive posts at STXfilm and assorted major studios.

In the immediate aftermath of the trailer snafu, some questioned whether the fake quotes were part of a a marketing ploy purposefully designed to keep the film in the headlines. But we’re told this couldn’t be further from the truth. Rather, the situation should be looked at as a cautionary tale, as neither Egan nor Lionsgate was out to intentionally fabricate quotes. Mistakes...

El tráiler comenzaba con citas inventadas de críticos famosos. © Lionsgate

Lionsgate ha retirado el tráiler de Megalópolis, la nueva película de Francis Ford Coppola, debido a una controversia.

El tráiler de la película comenzaba con una serie de citas atribuidas a conocidos críticos, que criticaban duramente algunas de las obras más emblemáticas de Coppola, como El Padrino, Apocalypse Now o Drácula. Estas citas incluían frases como «no sabe lo que quiere ser» sobre El Padrino, «una basura épica» sobre Apocalypse Now, y «un triunfo de estilo sobre sustancia» sobre Drácula. Con estas citas negativas sobre películas muy aclamadas del director, el estudio quería restarle importancia a la dura y fría acogida de Megalopolis en su estreno mundial en Cannes. ¿El problema? Todas estas citas son inventadas y falsamente atribuidas a críticos famosos como Pauline Kael, Rex Reed y Roger Ebert.

En una declaración facilitada a Vulture, un portavoz de Lionsgate...

Before Jonathan Mostow attempted to break out with big sci-fi films like the much-maligned Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and the Bruce Willis movie Surrogates, he made a humble little missing persons thriller with Kurt Russell called Breakdown. The film’s plot would involve one of the worst situations to have while traveling cross-country in the middle of nowhere and it is also one of our picks for the 10 Best Kurt Russell Movies. The paranoia film is an underrated gem that features one of the last great performances of the late J.T. Walsh. Blu-ray.com has now reported that Breakdown will soon be getting a 4K physical media release from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The cast that rounds out the film includes Kathleen Quinlan, M.C. Gainey, and Jack Noseworthy. And the description reads, “All roads lead to excitement with Kurt Russell in reakdown, the non-stop thrill ride that’s ‘a movie of nerve-frying intensity…...

This week, Lionsgate released — and then promptly recalled — an audacious trailer for “Megalopolis,” an ugly yet undeniably ambitious late-career monstrosity from Francis Ford Coppola.

Normally, trailers come padded with hyperbolic quotes from less-than-credible critics — “quote whores,” we call them — plucked out of context and punched up with exclamation marks.

“An edge-of-your-seat thrill ride!” (“Any Given Sunday”)

“The best Western since ‘Unforgiven’!”

“Two thumbs way up!” (professional enthusiasts Siskel and Ebert on more movies than you can count)

In the case of “Megalopolis,” the marketing team tried a different strategy. Instead of quoting reviews out of the Cannes Film Festival, Lionsgate lied.

Whoever oversaw that trailer seemed to be working on the assumption that you’ve already heard that “Megalopolis” is a disaster, so they set out to discredit the critics … by making up negative reviews of past Coppola triumphs. The trailer quotes Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael sniping “The Godfather,...

This already figured to be an uphill climb for “Megalopolis,” Francis Ford Coppola’s self-financed ($120 million) epic that had generated decidedly mixed reviews coming out of its May premiere at Cannes. While it also generated a seven-minute standing ovation for that first screening, it logged in at a lukewarm 53% on Rotten Tomatoes from 68 reviews. The somewhat bewildered consensus from those early critiques was that the movie was a beautiful, imaginative, erudite disaster bolstered by flashes of brilliance.

Hoping to launch a preemptive strike on any other critics looking to denigrate the movie and get a jump on any potential bandwagon of negativity, the Lionsgate marketing department outsmarted itself so badly that heads had to be rolling by midweek. It released an official trailer on Wednesday that pushed, without an ounce of subtlety, to make the point that any critical pans of “Megalopolis” could put reviewers in the same box as...

"Megalopolis," the upcoming movie from "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola, has been generating headlines as much for its behind-the-scenes drama as for the actual content of the movie itself. There have been reports of erratic behavior from Coppola throughout production, and videos obtained by Variety show the director trying to kiss young female extras during a nightclub scene. Now, Lionsgate has had to pull the latest trailer for "Megalopolis" and offer an apology.

Perhaps in response to the negative buzz surrounding "Megalopolis," the trailer opened with voiceover of Laurence Fishburne's narrator saying, "True genius is often misunderstood." It then winds back the clock to 1972 with a review of "The Godfather" by the Village Voice's Andrew Sarris, which calls it a "sloppy, self-indulgent movie." Another, attributed to the New Yorker's Pauline Kael, says the film is "diminished by its artsiness." A review for "Apocalypse Now" by National Review's John...

Within hours of its appearance, a glitzy trailer for Megalopolis has been withdrawn by distributor Lionsgate after its quotes from film critics were discovered to be made up.

Given how divisive Megalopolis’s Cannes premiere was, the decision to make its mixed reception a part of its marketing must have sounded like a bold one. The only problem was, mere hours after the latest trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s fantasy epic emerged on Wednesday (21st August), people began to notice that the quotes from critics included in it were almost entirely fabricated.

In response, Lionsgate has taken the unusual step of withdrawing the trailer from the web, and has even issued an apology for the whole situation.

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis,” the studio wrote in a statement sent to Variety. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and...

Lionsgate is pulling the trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” that was released this morning after the internet observed that quotes about older Coppola films like “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” as attributed to film critics like Pauline Kael, Andrew Sarris, Roger Ebert, and more, all appeared to be fabricated.

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,'” a spokesman for the company said in a statement provided to IndieWire. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”

From the moment Lionsgate released the first trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” on Wednesday morning, online cinephiles began to suspect that something was amiss. The trailer attempted to lean into the film’s polarizing critical response by posting negative reviews from Coppola films like “The Godfather...

Update: That was quick. Lionsgate has decided to pull the trailer for Megalopolis due to the made-up quotes which appear. “Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis,” said a Lionsgate spokesperson. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.“

— original article follows —

Lionsgate dropped the new trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis earlier today. The trailer begins with quotes from negative reviews of Coppola’s previous movies, such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula, seemingly positioning Megalopolis as another future classic. That’s all well and good, except for the fact that the quotes appear to have been made up. Uh oh.

The Megalopolis trailer includes a quote from iconic critic Pauline Kael, who is cited as saying that The Godfather is “diminished by its artsiness.

In a highly unusual move, Lionsgate is pulling its new trailer for Megalopolis, unveiled early this morning.

The decision comes following controversy over critic quotes featured in the trailer, which digging by Vulture and other outlets revealed to be fabricated.

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis,” said a spokesperson for the studio. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”

The quotes featured in the Megalopolis trailer highlight previous “criticisms” of Coppola’s now-iconic works, such as The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, by such famed critics as The New Yorker’s Pauline Kael and Village Voice’s Andrew Sarris. With reference to The Godfather, for instance, Kael is quoted as calling the film “diminished by its artsiness,” with Sarris referring to it as a “sloppy self-indulgent movie.

Francis Ford Coppola’s long-in-the-works “Megalopolis” finally hits theaters next month. A new trailer, released earlier Wednesday by Lionsgate, takes a more combative approach to the film’s marketing.

At the beginning of the video, apparent quotes from reviews of previous Coppola masterpieces like “Apocalypse Now” and “The Godfather” flash on the screen. It’s a way of getting ahead of the divisive response to “Megalopolis,” which left critics bewildered when it screened at this year’s Cannes. It’s also pretty funny. The only problem… as New York Magazine critic Bilge Ebiri pointed out, the quotes are all made up.

The question remains: what happened, exactly?

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,'” a Lionsgate spokesman told TheWrap after the company pulled the trailer down. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process.

When Lionsgate released the second trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s epic film “Megalopolis” on Wednesday morning, it began with a litany of pans of his past work from several renowned critics.

In quotes attributed to their reviews of “The Godfather,” the trailer cites The New Yorker’s Pauline Kael as calling it “diminished by its artsiness,” and Village Voice’s Andrew Sarris as criticizing the “sloppy self-indulgent movie.” Other quotes from critics such as Roger Ebert, John Simon, Stanley Kauffmann, Vincent Canby and Rex Reed similarly flash across the screen, offering harsh critiques of Coppola’s work on masterpieces such as “Apocalypse Now.” The idea being these movies stood the test of times — their initial reactions, not so much. “Megalopolis,” which premiered at Cannes, was dismissed by many critics as indulgent and muddled. The new trailer aims to position Coppola’s latest film, as a work of art that will age well,...

Less than 24 hours after the trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s polarizing epic Megalopolis was released, the video was taken down for using fake negative quotes from film critics.

In a statement from a Lionsgate spokesperson, per Variety, the company said it was “immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,’” and apologized to “the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”

The pulled trailer took the offensive against the smattering of real, bad post-Cannes reviews,...

Update: The "Megalopolis" trailer was pulled by Lionsgate after it came to light that it included made-up quotes from critics. "Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for 'Megalopolis,'" a Lionsgate spokesperson said in a statement provided to Variety. "We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry." The rest of this article has been left as it was originally written.

Francis Ford Coppola may very well be our greatest living filmmaker, so the looming release of his first feature in 13 years would be a major cinematic event at any juncture in his career. That he is 85 years old and spent $120 million of his own money to finance it makes it a one-of-a-kind risk — one that, judging from the reviews out of last May's Cannes Film Festival,...

Kurt Russell-headlined thriller Breakdown is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the UK – more details here.

It took a fair amount of time between the film’s US and UK release for the movie Breakdown to land in cinemas over here. If memory serves, by the time it did – in an era of heavily staggered release dates – the film was already on video in the US. Still, Breakdown was absolutely worth the weight, arguably the high point in Kurt Russell’s run of 1990s hit movies.

Directed by Jonathan Mostow (and it’d be a film that’d prove a stepping stone to him getting the Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines job), Breakdown co-stars Kathleen Quinlan and J T Walsh (in one of his final roles), and the conceit is a simple one: a couple break down, the husband stays with the car, the wife gets a...

John Waters is still stirring things up at 78. A frequent Real Time guest of Bill Maher, the writer, actor, and filmmaker of such cult classics as Pink Flamingos and Cry-Baby can still zing with the best.

He started off with a brief discussion of this week’s biggest news, the Trump trial results in New York.

“If he gets home detention, you will hear Melania scream,” Waters said. Adding, “In jail, they pay guards for cell phones. He has to sneak in “Just for Men.”

The conversation took an abrupt turn when Maher brought up the Pope’s slur against gays this week, which prompted Waters to reminisce about the days of Glory Holes on both coasts. “God, I hope I didn’t blow Rex Reed!”

Fortunately for Walters, he claimed his films are “doing better than ever,” though he admits he lost every obscenity case he was ever involved in.

After his famed role as Don Draper on AMC’s critically acclaimed drama series Mad Men, Jon Hamm has experienced a particularly peculiar career transition in recent years. Also known for his work in Sucker Punch & Top Gun: Maverick, the actor, 53, has acted in both highly regarded film and TV roles during his career.

But did you know, nestled within his portfolio of work, there lies a film that has almost slipped through the cracks of cinematic memory?

John Hamm in Stolen | 2 Bridges Productions

In 2009, he took on the role in Stolen, a frequently overlooked chapter of Hamm’s life that true cinephiles may recall. Though the actor’s renowned charm and depth could elevate any role, this murder mystery remarkably stood as an endeavor that slipped past audiences and critics alike.

Reflecting on the Rotten Tomatoes Rating of John Hamm’s Stolen

Jon Hamm may be known for...

E.L. James' original "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy is undoubtedly the most successful piece of fanfiction ever published. James turned the teen-friendly romance between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen in Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular "Twilight" franchise into an erotic reverie explored by the mysterious (and quite wealthy) entrepreneur Christian Grey and college journalist Kate Kavanaugh. It was a Bdsm gateway drug that opened up a healthy portal for kink-curious young adults. You didn't have to feel like a freak for wanting to do what conservative society deemed freaky.

Was it good literature? Does it matter? James' novels have sold hundreds of millions of copies and been translated into 52 different languages. They are adored by people who never knew they wanted to see Bella and Edward engage in consensual sadomasochism. I am happy they have these stories in their lives. What matters, at least when it comes to my bailiwick,...

The domestic box office wasn’t the only thing saved by Barbenheimer last year. The odd coupling of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer also stands poised to at least momentarily resuscitate the notion that the Academy Awards can and even should operate in the same astral plane as popular tastes—that it’s not an exercise in futility to satisfy audiences, tastemakers, and skeptics alike without embarrassing everyone vis-à-vis, oh, the new Golden Globes category for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

One imagines the typical AMPAS executive, and every Disney-abc suit, nodding furiously in agreement with Chris Molanphy’s latest “Hit Parade” podcast episode, about how the Grammys have always been at their best when not bending over backwards to seem cool but, rather, just embracing the best of what also happens to be popular. It’s within that very un-election year-like context of four-quadrant coalescence...

Turns out, Christopher Nolan’s Peloton instructor is indeed an “Oppenheimer” fan, despite not enjoying “Tenet.”

Just two days after Nolan joked during the New York Film Critics Circle awards that his Peloton cycling instructor slammed “Tenet” in 2020, teacher Jenn Sherman officially responded in an Instagram video.

“I may not have understood a minute of what was going on in ‘Tenet,'” Sherman said. “That shit went right over my head. But I have seen ‘Oppenheimer’ twice and that’s six hours of my life I don’t ever want to give back.”

Sherman noted that her “Tenet” critique was said in a “dark time” of 2020 lockdown, and invited director Nolan to attend one of her classes now.

“Oppenheimer” auteur Nolan said while onstage at the 2024 New York Film Critics Circle awards that his Peloton instructor (without naming Sherman) “shit” on “Tenet.”

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying,...

Oppenheimer's Christopher Nolan has revealed that his Peloton instructor voiced his disdain for one of the director's films during a grueling peloton workout, telling the class the movie was "a couple hours of my life I'll never get back again."

According to Variety, Nolan made the humorous revelation while giving his acceptance speech after receiving the Best Director prize this year from the New York Film Critics Circle for Oppenheimer. The director shared the story of his Peloton instructor when he talked about his appreciation of film criticism. Nolan recalled, "I was on my Peloton. I'm dying, and the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, 'Did anyone see this? That's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back again!'" Nolan continued, "When (film critic) Rex Reed takes a sh*t on your film he doesn't ask you to work out! In today's world,...

Director Christopher Nolan recounts being criticized for his film Tenet during a Peloton workout. The Peloton instructor, Jenn Sherman, praises Nolan and expresses surprise that he knows who she is, while admitting that she didn't understand Tenet. Sherman invites Nolan to join her for a workout and welcomes his critique of her class in a light-hearted response.

Acclaimed director Christopher Nolan has been discussing the relationship between directors, critics, and audiences, revealing that he was once chastised for his 2020 film Tenet by a Peloton instructor while in the middle of a workout. Nolan told the story during a speech at the New York Film Critics Circle (for which he won Best Director for Oppenheimer), revealing that his instructor felt Tenet was “a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!” You can see what Nolan had to say below (via Variety).

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying.

Auteur Christopher Nolan, who is known for ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy, ‘Interstellar’, ‘Dunkirk’ and others, narrated an incident when his instructor, Jenn Sherman dissed his film.

While accepting the award for Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle, Nolan said: “I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying. The instructor started talking about one of my films (later discovered to be ‘Tenet’) and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this? Because that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again’,” reports Deadline.

Nolan went on to use the anecdote as a way to tout the professionalism of the assembled film critics. “When (film critic) Rex Reed takes a s— on your film, he doesn’t ask you to work out,” Nolan joked.

“In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratised.

Christopher Nolan is opening up about the time he took a Peloton class and got dissed by the instructor in the middle of the workout.

The Oscar-nominated filmmaker, who is currently getting awards and acclaim for his movie Oppenheimer, released his film Tenet back in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic.

While many people loved the movie, Peloton instructor Jenn Sherman was not a fan.

Christopher accepted the Best Director award at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards on Wednesday (January 3) and revealed how he felt about Jenn‘s diss in the middle of the class.

“I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying,” he said during the speech, according to Deadline. “The instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this? Because that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again.

Christopher Nolan knows all about film critics in Hollywood, but it’s safe to say he didn’t expect to hear criticism during a workout class.

While accepting the award for best director from the New York Film Critics Circle on Wednesday, the Oppenheimer filmmaker recalled when a Peloton instructor caught him by surprise, sharing her critical thoughts on one of his films.

“I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying,” Nolan said during his acceptance speech. “The instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this? Because that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again.’” It was later discovered to be his 2020 film Tenet that the Peloton instructor was referring to, although she obviously didn’t know that the movie’s director was also in the class that day.

Though Nolan admitted that...

“Tenet” director Christopher Nolan is being showered with awards for “Oppenheimer,” but he revealed that he knows not everyone’s a fan of his films during an acceptance speech for Best Director at the New York Film Critics Circle on Thursday.

During a virtual Peloton class during the early Covid lockdown period, Nolan said, the instructor spent a chunk of the workout trashing one of his movies.

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!’” Nolan said.

He added, “When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a s–t on your film, he doesn’t ask you to work out! In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized — but I for...

Unless you’re getting a shout-out from an instructor, chances are quite slim that you’ll hear your name mentioned during a Peloton session… unless you’re Christopher Nolan.

While accepting the Best Director award from the New York Film Critics Circle for Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan revealed he found an unlikely critic while using his Peloton. “I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!’” Nolan said. “When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a shit on your film he doesn’t ask you to work out! In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized, but I for one think the critical appreciation of films shouldn’t be an instinct but it should be a profession.

You’ve heard of personal trainers. But how about a very personal trainer who disses your work while you’re exercising with her?

Christopher Nolan knows about the latter. While accepting the award for Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle on Wednesday night, Nolan related one particularly unexpected broadside.

“I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I’m dying,” Nolan recalled in his acceptance speech. “The instructor started talking about one of my films (later discovered to be Tenet) and said, ‘Has anyone else seen this? Because that’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again.'”

Nolan went on to use the anecdote as a way to tout the professionalism of the assembled film critics.

“When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a s— on your film, he doesn’t ask you to work out!” Nolan joked. “In today’s world, where opinions are everywhere,...

Shared grievances can bind people together for life, which is why nothing brings people together quite like complaining. During a recent virtual workout on Peloton, one of the cycling instructors enacted this great bonding agent — but it came at the cost of inadvertently making one session attendee the subject of their grumbling: Christopher Nolan.

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying,” the filmmaker recently recalled during an acceptance speech at New York Film Critics Circle, per Variety. “And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said,...

Christopher Nolan might be one of the most important and celebrated directors of his generation, but he's not for everyone. Even "Oppenheimer," which made almost $1 billion, becoming one of the biggest box office hits of 2023 and the highest grossing biopic of all time, had its detractors. Richard Brody of the New Yorker, for example, penned an insightful critique of Nolan's film that suggested the director had missed one crucial aspect of J. Robert Oppenheimer, namely that he was a "renowned aesthete." Whether you agree or not, the point is that even a major box office success and cultural phenomenon on the level of "Oppenheimer" isn't universally beloved.

Of course, Nolan has had much more to worry about in terms of critical response than Richard Brody and the New Yorker. His prior film, "Tenet," aimed for high-concept, big-budget sci-fi action but ended up bewildering pretty much anyone that watched, making it...

Everyone’s a critic — including Christopher Nolan’s very own Peloton instructor, apparently. At a ceremony for the New York Film Critics Circle, Nolan used his acceptance speech for the best director prize to comment on his appreciation for film criticism — and to share a hilarious anecdote.

Speaking on his “complex emotional relationship with critics and criticism,” Nolan highlighted the importance of film criticism as a profession in a world where seemingly everyone now has an opinion to share. The Oppenheimer director then cheekily brought up a moment in which a Peloton instructor canned one of his own films during a workout, apparently unaware that he was in the class. Nolan did not specify which film found its way onto the chopping block, but Paste Magazine movies editor Jacob Oller uncovered the clip in question: it’s of Jenn Sherman ripping Tenet.

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying.

Christopher Nolan recalls receiving criticism for one of his films from his workout instructor during a Peloton class. Despite some negative reviews, Nolan's career has been filled with mostly positive reviews, with Oppenheimer being considered his magnum opus. Nolan points out that it has become increasingly difficult to avoid unwanted criticism.

While trying to avoid negative reviews, Christopher Nolan recalls finding his film criticized by his workout instructor. Nolan is the auteur director behind several mind-bending, high-concept films including Memento, Inception, Interstellar, and Tenet. Last year, Nolan stepped into the director’s seat again to direct well-received Oppenheimer.

Speaking at a ceremony at New York City’s Tao Downtown (attended by Variety), Nolan recalls the unusual way in which he received criticism for one of his films. The director first discussed his effort to avoid reading reviews, which is encouraged by comments from his family like “You probably shouldn’t open The Guardian today.

Christopher Nolan was awarded the best director prize this year from the New York Film Critics Circle thanks to his blockbuster “Oppenheimer,” and he used his acceptance speech to wax poetic on his appreciation for film criticism. He alluded to the fact that his love for the profession has only deepened in recent years as the rise of social media and other outlets have turned every casual moviegoer into a critic with a platform to express his or her opinion.

“Directors have a complex emotional relationship with critics and criticism,” he told the audience during the Jan. 4 ceremony at New York City’s Tao Downtown. “A question we’re always asked is: Do we read reviews? Let’s start with the fact that I’m British. A typical family gathering will involve relatives saying to me, ‘You know, Christopher. You probably shouldn’t open The Guardian today.'”

Nolan summed...

While the critics are not actually loving the film, The Last Voyage of the Demeter could be a worthwhile watch for all the Dracula and gothic horror fans out there. So let’s find what the critics are actually saying about the supernatural horror film.

The effect of The Simpsons on pop culture can’t be overstated. In the early nineties, the show tapped into the cultural zeitgeist in a way few others had before. Indeed, no other cartoon show could reasonably emulate it- but Hollywood couldn’t help but try. Capitol Critters, Family Dog, and Fish Police were just a few of the shows that tried to be “the new Simpsons.” Still, the only one that really came close was ABC’s The Critic, starring the voice of Jon Lovitz as Jay Sherman, perhaps the world’s least-loved film critic and the subject of this Gone But Not Forgotten episode.

Unlike other wannabe animated hits, The Critic could boast a legit connection to The Simpsons, with it also being a production of James L. Brooks’ Gracie Films. At the same time, creators Al Jean and Mike Reiss had been showrunners on The Simpsons during...

Superman is on the lookout for Lex Luthor. Even though the criminal mastermind only appears in public under one of his many wigs, Superman knows that Lex Luthor is bald. So when he sees a hairless man on the street, Superman accosts the pedestrian only to see not Gene Hackman’s menacing smile, but detective/lollipop enthusiast Theo Kojak, played by Telly Savalas. Superman pauses for a moment for the audience to roar in laughter when they recognize the popular television character, who pulls out his sucker to utter his famed catchphrase, “Who loves ya, baby!”

Granted, this scene did not make the final version of 1978’s Superman, the start of the first wave of superhero movies, but it was in one of the movie’s later drafts, and while Donner was able to limit the cameos in his movie to low-key appearances by Kirk Alyn...

Following her surprising (some thought shocking) Best Supporting Actress triumph at the Academy Awards in 1993 for her role in “My Cousin Vinny,” poor Marisa Tomei has been forced to endure a Mount Everest of disrespect. Her name has become literally Exhibit A for what’s wrong with he voting process, a punchline of outrage – the poster child of head-scratching awards season jokes. For years, she topped the list of “How the hell did this happen?” Oscar moments.

Forget the fact that in the years that followed her win, Tomei has generated another pair of supporting nominations – for “In the Bedroom” in 2002 (a Todd Field movie – hello) and “The Wrestler” in 2009. The presumption was that Tomei wasn’t nearly a talented enough actress to win, though they usually don’t find a whole lot of lousy performers generating three Oscar nominations. No matter. The prevailing wisdom was that she was a...

It's not a secret that Hollywood has a really sordid history with the way transgender characters have been presented on film. While bigoted pundits like to pretend that trans people and trans representation in entertainment is somehow a new concept, films like "Myra Breckinridge" were shocking and subverting audience expectations over half a century ago. Unlike the transgender media of our current era that often put cis men like Jared Leto, Eddie Redmayne, and Jeffrey Tambor in drag, "Myra Breckinridge" instead chose to cast Raquel Welch, an international sex symbol at the time, in the titular role.

The film was an adaptation of Gore Vidal's controversial book of the same name, a title that was equal parts bestseller and banned text. It's one of the earliest known novels to feature a protagonist who has undergone gender affirmation surgery and dissects themes of feminism, gender performance, America's unhealthy relationship with toxic masculinity,...

The cliche "everyone's gotta start somewhere" is meant to be reassuring. In showbiz, however, getting that start requires a bit of good fortune in and of itself. Whether you're working in the mailroom at CAA or bopping from set to set as a background player, you've likely used a connection or two to get yourself in the figurative ballpark. Maybe your college buddy knew a guy at an agency. Perhaps you were bartending at a popular industry watering hole. Getting noticed is often a fluke. Taking the next step is a winning lottery ticket.

Take Clint Eastwood for example. He wasn't a natural-born genius like Montgomery Clift or Marlon Brando. He was a handsome, young, 6'4" swimming instructor at Ford Ord in Northern California when, according to his biographer Patrick McGilligan, he met a connected photographer named Chuck Hill. When Eastwood relocated to Los Angeles, Hill convinced his friend to...

Like many people passionate about movies, particularly those who grew up in the golden age of trash-talking critics like Pauline Kael, Judith Crist, Rex Reed, Gene Siskel, and Roger Ebert, Quentin Tarantino isn't shy about throwing an elbow or twelve when discussing cinema. He doesn't vacillate, nor does he spend much time discussing films that elicit a ho-hum response. You could say he likes to play contrarian, but that would suggest he's basically the Skip Bayless of film discourse. While you may vehemently disagree with Tarantino from time to time, he is anything but a full-of-it blowhard who spouts off inflammatory opinions to get a rise out of low-information fanatics. Tarantino knows his subject inside and out. If you want to enter his arena, you better come armed with ardor and a lifetime's worth of film knowledge.

This doesn't mean Tarantino can't be infuriating on occasion. This is, after all,...

Six weeks after its September premiere at the Venice Film Festival, “The Banshees of Inisherin” has been released in theaters nationwide. The picture was written and directed by Martin McDonagh, who won a Best Live Action Short Film Oscar for “Six Shooter” in 2004 and went on to receive three more bids for penning “In Bruges” (2008) and for both writing and producing Best Picture nominee “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (2017).

“Banshees” reunites McDonagh with his “In Bruges” stars, Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell and Emmy winner Brendan Gleeson. Farrell looks poised to receive his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor after taking home the prize in Venice. He plays Pádraic, a man shocked to find out his drinking buddy, Colm (Gleeson), no longer wishes to speak to him. Gleeson currently ranks second in our Best Supporting Actor Oscar odds, while McDonagh sits in sixth place for Best Director, third for Best...
