No movie intrigues and haunts us more than the upcoming Timothée Chalamet movie musical Wonka: an origin story for the famed fictional chocolatier with a penchant for theatrical showcases and a disregard for safeguarding children. And while the film is currently in post-production limbo, preparing for its release in December 2023, one of the film’s […]
It’s been seventeen years since Paris Hilton was robbed of a Best Actress Oscar for her scream queen skills when we watched her get staked and embalmed in the horror movie House of Wax. It wasn’t her first foray in the horror genre (that was 2002’s low budget Nine Lives), but it turns out it […]
A24 and Halina Reijn’s new slasher movie Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), based on a story by Cat Person writer Kristen Roupenian, begins with Bee, played by Maria Bakalova, travelling with her girlfriend Sophie (The Hate U Give’s Amandla Stenberg) to meet her friends — a bunch of wealthy kids in their early twenties with big […]
Time and time again, filmmaker Sofia Coppola shows us that she’s a cult favourite for good reason. In addition to making some truly beautiful movies over the past couple of decades, the director remains a 90s indie it-girl with a well-established street style and a thoroughly impressive music video cameo filmography. Her latest vision of […]
It’s been three years since the Safdie Brothers blessed us with Uncut Gems, the Adam Sandler-starring, nerve-shredding New York movie thriller that became the jewel (pun intended) in A24’s crown. Fast forward to 2022 and the team behind it, Adam included, have been pretty quiet on the movie front since. But fear not! Those desperate […]

The original announcement came with the added promise of director Bong’s regular collaborator Tilda Swinton joining the cast, but she’s just announced that she’ll be parting ways […]
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune was built on the assumption that we’d get to see more of it. From the briefest glimpses we get of intriguing characters, like Zendaya’s Chani and Charlotte Rampling’s Gaius Helen Mohiam, to the rumblings of gigantic plot threads – including intergalactic political intrigue, murder and the emergence of a long-prophesied messiah – […]
Fashion designers are very much in their cinephile era right now. Alessandro Michele, an avid movie buff, extended the Gucci-verse’s Hollywood vision to Steven Spielberg’s weird 80s Christmas film Gremlins. Nicolas Winding Refn designed an eerie dystopian panopticon that smacked of one of the director’s messed-up thrillers to showcase Prada’s SS23 collection. Then there’s Saint […]
Andrew Dominik’s NC-17-rated Marilyn Monroe movie is finally available to watch! Here’s a breakdown of all the details and why it is so controversial. Back when we were still waiting for Netflix and Andrew Dominik’s fantastical and fucked up biopic of Marilyn Monroe— an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ loose reimagining of the star’s life, […]
Last summer, just as she was preparing to premiere Spencer, Kristen Stewart teamed up with filmmaker David Cronenberg and made a horror movie that’s set to cause mass hysteria with audiences when it drops later this year. The director, known best for making violent body-horror classics like The Fly and Videodrome, worked intermittently on the script for this project, titled Crimes of the Future, for a long […]
