Jessica Chastain may be one of the biggest stars in the world with an Academy Award and Golden Globe, but deep down she is one of us. That is when it comes to frustrations about flying. However, her grievances had nothing to do with a lack of snacks or delays. The actress, known for roles including The Help and The Eyes of Tammy Faye, posted on X (formerly Twitter) about being offered a $15 credit by JetBlue to make up for the in-flight entertainment system being down. In a since-deleted (is anything really deleted on social media?) post from Wed. Oct. 9 on X, Chastain wrote, “Thank you @JetBlue for your $15.00 credit. My flight was $1,500 and the credit is 1/100 of the money I paid you.” pic.twitter.com/FNRUaAVwRQ — Jessica Chastain (@jes_chastain) October 9, 2024 The 47-year-old included a screenshot of an email from the airline regarding the credit. She continued, “Strange that...

We’ve all had that experience, especially as kids, when the darkness of bedtime is as terrifying as anything in any horror movie. I remember after seeing the original A Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time being absolutely Terrified that Freddy Kreuger would reach out for my feet sticking out of my bed covers and take me off into the night.

That’s essentially what happens in The Eyes Below. Eugène goes to bed. Everything is calm and silent. About to fall asleep, something creeps up his legs, his stomach and then his chest. A mass, so heavy that he realises the night won’t be as peaceful as he thought…

French writer/director Alexis Bruchon made something of an impact with his first film, the noirish The Woman With Leopard Shoes, which told its story in a very minimalistic way.

The 28th annual SAG Awards wrapped Sunday with Apple’s Coda winning the marquee Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture prize, the latest step for the indie drama centered on the deaf community, which has been on the rise since premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Will Smith topped Denzel Washington, Andrew Garfield, Javier Bardem and Benedict Cumberbatch to take the Male Actor prize. Both are now immediately front-runners for the Oscars exactly one month from tonight.

"Your films are sketchbooks; you thought with lines and shapes." Janus Films + Criterion have debuted an official Us trailer for the release of Mark Cousins' latest cinema documentary called The Eyes of Orson Welles, opening in select Us theaters this week. This first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Cousins dives deep into the visual world of legendary director and actor Orson Welles to reveal a portrait of the artist as he's never been seen before. He examines Welles' drawings and paintings, and walks us through his entire life to try and present a portrait of an artist. We see through his eyes how he created the work he created, and what inspired him - the places he visited, and the people he met. The "engaging, insightful and wide-ranging" doc is a must-watch for any/all cinephiles, and an inspiring film for visual artists of all kinds.

Six strangers wake up in the same room and are forced to take part in an experiment where only one will survive. They have two hours to make their decision as a group in The Eyes, a new suspense thriller from director Robbie Bryan. With The Eyes now playing in select theaters, we had a chance to catch up with Bryan for our latest Q&A feature to discuss the movie's incredible journey to getting made, the "visual ballet" of the movie's most challenging scene, and much more.

Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Robbie. What made you want to bring this screenplay by Robert T. Roe’s to life on the big screen?

Robbie Bryan: It was back in early 2014. I had been trying to put together this feature film called Black Hat, which is a sort of Little Miss Sunshine set in...

Six strangers sit locked in a room, miserable and forced to reckon with the choices they've made: The action in Robbie Bryan's The Eyes is not entirely unlike the scene in any theater playing it — except there, nobody's threatening to kill viewers who understandably choose to forfeit what they spent on their ticket and leave before the end. A sometimes laughable game-of-death drama that has been beaten to the punch by many other (much better) similar flicks, it is likely to vanish unseen, despite the pull of some established names in its cast.

Nicholas Turturro plays the man who has...
