Our decision to declare Miami Vice this century’s greatest action film some eight years ago was neither made lightly nor received unanimously, but fortune favors the bold. Part and parcel of its canonization, Michael Mann’s classic streams on Criterion this July as part of Miami Neonoir, a set boasting Larry Clark’s Bully, the recently departed George Armitage’s Miami Blues, Out of Sight, Body Heat, and John Bailey’s lesser-seen China Moon. Series-wise, films about David Lynch, Picasso, and Basquiat fill out Portraits of Artists, while Summer Romances arrives just in time for you to imagine a better life than watching movies on your laptop.

July is a retrospective-heavy month: the recently restored, totally essential films of Jacques Rozier, works directed and shot by D.A. Pennebaker, shorts by Suzan Pitt, and Lino Brocka, Moustapha Alassane, Michael Haneke, and Hou Hsiao-hsien programs are complemented by an exposition of the Rolling Stones on film.

Netflix’s Korean crime thriller series, Mercy For None, comprises a solid cast, featuring some of the most well-known acting talents of the Korean showbiz industry. While the narrative treatment of the revenge saga is pretty basic in its approach, it is the unique visual style, brilliant action choreography, and compelling performance by the cast that make the series work so well. Before moving to the cast and character details, the stunt crew’s remarkable efforts should be acknowledged, who not only brought a number of memorable action sequences to life but also maintained the tone of gritty, grounded violence the series was aiming at.

From Oldboy to Burning, South Korea has proven that it has no problem delivering a quality revenge tale. In series format, this isn't any different, and a new title is arriving to underscore that we want them to keep coming. Mercy For None is a new action K-drama that is debuting on Netflix next month, and it centers around a dangerous killer who returns to the underworld of crime after his brother is killed. The series is set to premiere on June 6, and you can check out the trailer in this article.

At this point, revenge and assassins' stories immediately bring the John Wick franchise to mind. From the looks of it, though, Mercy For None will be able to stand out in the genre. The series has a pretty distinct nighttime look, and the protagonist Ki-jun seems to be as ruthless as he is skilled. In the story, Ki-jun...

Jake Gyllenhaal took on the wings of death in the “Hot Ones” Season 20 finale Thursday, and — after jokingly questioning who would use a toothpick during the process — walked back his comment when he found out it was Elizabeth Olsen.

After a middle-of-the-road sauce with a Mermaid on its label, Gyllenhaal drew attention to the toothpicks and wet napkins available for use beside his chicken wing platter. He competitively refused to use either one, humorously dragging any “a–hole” who’d done so before him.

“What a–hole used a f–kin’ toothpick?” the “Covenant” star asked, incredulously.

Exclusive: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…and while God was doing that, Timur Bekmambetov created the series iBible — which will be premiering its first five episodes at SXSW starting March 16.

iBible is a screenlife project from Bekmambetov which, as the title suggests, tells biblical stories through the screen of a smartphone via the various apps we interact with on a daily basis. The audience will be able to scroll through two-minute episodes that dive into a famous story from the Book of Genesis: Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, Cain and Abel, David and Goliath, Ten Commandments, among others. This would be perfect Quibi fodder… if the mobile platform still existed.
