At some point in the last half-century, filmmakers realized women could be more than just sexy plot points. That’s nice, but in their haste to make up for misogynist time, they went too far in the […]
Diego Luna was ready to be done with “Star Wars” and his character, Cassian Andor, after “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Understandable, since Cassian does not survive the events of the 2016 film. But […]
Tony Gilroy entered the Star Wars galaxy as a credited writer (he came in later in the shoot) for the stand-alone 2016 hit movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Now he has taken it […]
It’s been a while since we had a truly great movie about devious, dystopian AIs priming themselves to take over the world, in which the key choices made by mere humans will decide whether we […]
It’s a complicated time for the prospect of artificial intelligence. More than ever, it seems like all the movies warning us about the threat of A.I. have more than a little merit to them. The […]

How will we know when Hollywood’s appetite for proven intellectual property has peaked? Perhaps it’s happened already. Was it when Showtime started developing four new projects based on Billions, including two titled Millions and Trillions? […]
The streaming landscape is vast and hard to keep track of. TV shows pop up (and get canceled) seemingly overnight, and even if you’re in a place where you’re looking for a new show to […]
Disney Here’s what I think about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, on the whole: while it’s certainly flawed, its third act (about the last hour, hour-and-fifteen-minutes) is Star Wars at its absolute peak, at least in […]
Disney/Lucasfilm What Disney+ has pulled off with Andor — a legitimately deep sociopolitical espionage thriller — is nothing short of remarkable. Having long considered Rogue One to be my favorite Star Wars entry of all time, its prequel Andor has undoubtedly expanded the story […]
It sneaks up on you, how well you know Ferrix by the end of Andor’s first season. At first it’s deceptively like Tatooine: a miserable place that’s meant to be left behind by its protagonist, […]
For Tony Gilroy, revolution is always on the mind. In his latest project, Andor, the critically acclaimed writer of movies like the Bourne trilogy and Michael Clayton has taken his knack for turning bureaucratic thrillers […]
In your latest film, Mr Malcolm’s List, you are cast with no regard to skin colour or race, as was your Slumdog ex, Dev Patel, in The Personal History of David Copperfield. Colour-blind casting is […]

Some tough language from the Russo brothers this week, who have accused Warner Brothers of “murder” over the recent canning of Batgirl. Speaking to Variety, the Avengers: Endgame directors did not mince their words. “It’s […]
