A Behind-the-Scenes Look at 'Hook' - Trailer for New Making Of Doc

"To rescue his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and battle an old enemy... in order to rediscover the child in himself." Let me just say it - this is one of my all-time favorites. I love it. I grew up with it. Critics are wrong, Hook is a amazing! Sony Pictures is preparing to release the new 4K Steelbook Collector's Edition of the 1991 movie (order it here), and included in here is a brand-new documentary about the making of this iconic Spielberg classic. "Relive the magic of Robin Williams as Peter Pan with an all-new hour-long documentary featuring never-before-seen footage from the making of Steven Spielberg's Hook." Apparently they had a documentary crew filming the filming of the movie back in 1990, but the doc about it was never released in full? Now they've finished it and it's included as a special feature in the 4K Steelbook. Hook stars Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Robin Williams as Peter Pan, Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Bob Hoskins as Smee, Maggie Smith as Wendy, and Charlie Korsmo as Jack. Pre-order the Hook 4K today to revisit this family classic & go behind the scenes like never before! The clip of Robin Williams (miss him) talking about keeping joy & imagination glowing is what I love the most about this film. // Continue Reading ›

Cynthia Erivo Stars in Stage-to-Screen Adaptation 'Prima Facie' Trailer

"I'm a strong woman. I'm not ashamed. And I am telling you the truth." Sony Pictures UK has revealed the official tariler for the film Prima Facie, an adaptation of the Tony-award winning stage play of the same name that played in London and NYC in the past few years. This just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF 2026) a few weeks ago - though the reviews were mostly bad, saying it's a lackluster and uninteresting adaptation that plays like a TV movie. Prima Facie follows Tessa, an ambitious defense lawyer. She expertly represents her clients, including those who are accused of sexual assault. However, she learns the law does not provide justice after being sexually assaulted by a coworker. Starring Cynthia Erivo as the barrister Tessa Ensler. TIFF adds: "Backed by a magnificent supporting cast that includes Daniel Ings, Elizabeth Dulau, and Simon Russell Beale, Erivo is at once devastating and inspiring in this dauntingly complex role. 'Prima facie' is a Latin expression meaning 'based on first impression,' and this hard-hitting, intelligent film shows just how unreliable initial assessments can be." This is a story that needs to be told and we need to see how broken the justice system is, but I'm just not sure this movie is good enough to shake things up. // Continue Reading ›

One Final Day at an Old Cinema - 'Concessions' Indie Comedy Trailer

"Who's even going to remember this place?" Magenta Edge Films revealed their official trailer for an indie film titled Concessions, another amusing love letter to a dying cinema and the patrons who don't want to leave. Also this year there's an Irish film titled Once Upon a Time in a Cinema set at a cinema, and last year there was the The Regulars set in London's old Prince Charles Cinema. From writer/director Mas Bouzidi, Concessions premiered at the 2025 Edinburgh Film Festival last year and arrives in the US to watch this fall (in limited theaters and on VOD). As the Royal Alamo Cinema closes its doors for good; the jaded staff, eccentric patrons, and an unhinged manager stumble through one last night at the movies — grappling with busted dreams, bad popcorn, and hard goodbyes. This was filmed on 16mm in Suffern, NY at the Lafayette Theater (see Google Maps). The film stars the late Michael Madsen (who passed away a few months ago), Steven Ogg, Josh Hamilton, Lana Rockwell, Ivory Aquino, Ari Barkan, Rob Riordan. Looks like an amusing indie creation that's all about how iconic (or maybe not) the movie theater experience is. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for 'Who Is Martin Mull?' Doc About the Cult Comedian

"Martin Mull was the absolutely of top of comedy – and that's not what he did best." Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for a documentary film titled Who Is Martin Mull?, which hopes to answer this exact question! This is ready for streaming on Netflix starting in October. Some may know him already, the rest will recognize him as "ohhhh that guy!". Dive into the storied history of fan-favorite comedic actor Martin Mull (who you may know best as Gene Parmesan) in this star-studded doc. The film traces Martin Mull's restless reinvention from smoky folk clubs to primetime sitcoms to gallery walls, told in his own words and by the friends who watched it happen, including Steve Martin, Tom Waits, David Alan Grier, and others. Musician, cult comedian, unlikely TV fixture, and acclaimed painter — Martin Mull spent his life becoming someone new all the time, and no version was ever what anyone expected. I'm intrigued by this revelation about his other creative side and how all over the place his life has been. Looks like another fascinating doc. // Continue Reading ›

Venice 2026 Recap - 6 Worthwhile Films to Watch From the Festival

"He should be my film's protagonist." Time for a final recap. Each year, I am lucky for the opportunity to return to the splendid city of Venice in Northern Italy to attend the Venice Film Festival and catch the latest films premiering there. Unfortunately the selection at Venice 2026 was a huge disappointment - there were so few good films to talk about, that I can only really highlight these 6 films below worthy of being watched. The last few years were much better, but this year not a single film wowed me. This was my 10th year returning to Venice, and I'm always happy to be back, no matter how the films turn out (good or bad – it's fun to be there and watch everything). In total, I viewed 32 films during Venice this year. The Golden Lion winner (Woman Unknown) was not one of my favorite of the fest by a long shot, however the Grand Prix runner up Possible Love is the one that actually should've won instead. I'm depressed by just how bad the line-up was! Nonetheless, I still want to mention my 6 favorites from Venice 2026 anyway. I always do my best to watch as many films as I can, hoping to find any hidden gems and breakout hits amid the debuts. // Continue Reading ›

Totally Crazy New Horror Trailer for 'Slayground' from Jeremy Saulnier

Whoa! What do we have here?! Horror fans - don't skip over this preview. A24 has unveiled a surprise teaser trailer for a movie now titled Slayground, a Halloween haunted house horror movie from acclaimed genre filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier (of Blue Ruin, Green Room, Hold the Dark, Rebel Ridge). This secret teaser started playing in theaters this past weekend - everyone was surprised because this new title is so new it is not even listed online anywhere. Written & directed by Saulnier, the film was initially titled October, but since it won't release this October and A24 didn't want to wait until next year, they gave it a new title. It's still due out in theaters sometime soon this fall. Starring Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde, Stephen Root, Imogen Poots, Matty Matheson, Young Mazino, with Macon Blair. Details on what's going on are rather vague – but this trailer (and the sneaky viral website) is filled with CCTV footage of people going through a crazy scary Halloween haunted house. Maybe all the scares in there are actually real? It's run by a demon? There's also a reveal of a uber gnarly villain character at the end of this footage - check it out below. // Continue Reading ›
