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 ›

Brad Pitt is Back in 'The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth' Trailer

"Whatever it is you're thinking, it's not what you think." Here we go, Fincher fans! Netflix has revealed the first full official trailer for the long-awaited new David Fincher movie titled correctly: The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. This is the official new name for this (different from the Super Bowl spot), a spin-off from Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood featuring the same character. Now set for release in November (in IMAX theaters) then streaming on Netflix in December later this year. It's 1977, 8 years since Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) encountered the Manson family. In these Mis-Adventures, directed by Fincher from a new script by Tarantino, the fairytale is over. Los Angeles no longer needs a hippie-slaying stuntman the way it did. But Hollywood will always have problems, problems that can only be solved with Cliff's unique (occasionally extralegal) abilities. Starring Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth, with Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Corey Fogelmanis, JB Tadena, Matt Groove, Karren Karagulian. This looks fun! This trailer is a bit dark, many night scenes obviously. The rest of it just seems like a scuzzy hang out and get in trouble in Hollywood movie. What do you think? // Continue Reading ›
