Why did John Travolta wear a beret at Cannes? “The old school directors wore berets and the glasses. And I thought, that’s what I’m doing,” he told CNN…

Netflix is adding to its library of emotional dramas this June with After Everything (2018). It’s a romance film starring Jeremy Allen White and Maika Monroe. The movie didn’t make a big splash when it first came out, but over time, it’s become one of those indie love stories people tend to discover later and end up connecting with more than they expected.For viewers who know White from his Emmy-winning role in The Bear, this is a very different side of him. It’s earlier in his career, but you can already see that same intensity he’s now known for. And…

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi recalled having “a breakdown” after receiving her stage I cervical cancer diagnosis. “Like, ‘Oh, my God, what am I gonna do? Gotta get my will in place. What’s gonna happen?’ Planning my funeral. I was being so dramatic,” Polizzi, 38, said during a Tuesday, May 19, appearance on the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “Then, I did research.” While it was “terrifying” for Polizzi to get the diagnosis, she noted that it’s “so common for women” to have cervical cancer. “No one really talks about it,” she continued. “I’m gonna be OK, because there’s things I have to…

When you think of Christopher Nolan, you think grand, epic cinema. Having the brand recognition of a major IP or movie star, Nolan is one of few directors whose name can be a studio’s primary selling point. While Homer’s Odyssey is one of the oldest and most formative stories in history, it’s the director’s vision that makes The Odyssey easily the event movie of the summer. His powers reached new heights in 2023 by turning Oppenheimer, a 3-hour biographical drama about nuclear weapons, into a cultural sensation on par with any Marvel movie of the last ten years. Before he…

Picture Credit: Netflix Directed by Gareth Johnson (The Puppet Master, The Body Next Door), Netflix’s feature-length documentary The Crash is currently the number 1 documentary on Netflix. Its release has sparked international interest in the case surrounding Mackenzie Shirilla, who was sentenced to two concurrent life sentences in 2023 for murder of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan.  The Crash takes viewers back to Strongsville, Ohio, in 2022, depicting a chilling portrait of a seemingly deliberate act where 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove a car into a building at 100 miles per hour, killing both her 20-year-old boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and 19-year-old friend,…

Minotaur may allude to a Greek myth, be loosely based on a film by Claude Chabrol (The Unfaithful Wife), and represent the first work director Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return, Leviathan) has made entirely outside Russia. (Shot in Latvia, it is officially a French-German-Latvia co-production.) But it’s about as Russian as a film could be. It’s as Russian as horseradish vodka, forest steppe marmots, and the word toska, a Russian term that connotes a profound melancholy whose many shades Vladimir Nabokov said could not be captured in English, but which range from “great spiritual anguish” to “physical or metaphysical dissatisfaction, a…

By Joe Mantello’s own admission, his Tony-contending revival of Death of a Salesman didn’t leap onto the stage at New York’s famed Winter Garden Theater fully-formed. “There was such a long gestation period for this particular production,” the director tells Gold Derby. “And we gathered folks along the way over the years, so it’s deeply satisfying as a director. In fact, Mantello first broached the idea of directing a production of the great American tragedy starring Nathan Lane as Willy Loman over three decades ago, when he directed the Tony-winning actor in the original production of Love! Valour! Compassion! by…
