Lucais an unusual entry in Pixar’s filmography. On its surface, it seems almost slight. It aims for a small canvas and appears to be a story about a couple of sea monsters masquerading as humans who hope to win a Vespa in a small post-war Italian town.

Best Picture ispretty much wide openafter the various guilds failed to coalesce behind one, two, or even three major contenders, and we’re dealing with an Academy whose voter demographic is in the midst of changing dramatically....

Disney has unveiled a new UK trailer for the upcoming remake ofPete’s Dragon. The film is directed byDavid Lowery(Ain’t Them Bodies Saints) and tells the story of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon. While this is the same conceit as Disney’s 1977 iteration of the story, that’s basically where the similarities end, as the Mouse House pretty much gave Lowery free reign to take the story where he wanted....

ROMAis going to be a divisive film, but not so much because of its content, but because of its presentation. Netflix is distributing the movie, which means it’s going to be available on streaming. However, the film’s producers also want it to receive a theatrical release of some kind.

To replicate the same on-screen, chaotic magic thatLeslie Nielsencaptured withThe Naked Guntrilogy, it took years, rewrites, and the creative collaboration of comedians like directorAkiva Schaffer, producerSeth MacFarlane, and co-writing teamDan GregorandDoug Mand.

Now, it’s already raked in critical acclaim before ever even officially hitting theaters....

On the surface, it might seem as thoughA Discovery of Witchesdraws heavily from the human-vampire romances that preceded it.That assessment’s only half-true.Deborah Harkness, author of the New York Times bestsellingAll Soulsseries upon whichA Discovery of Witchesis based, didn’t read any vampire literature before penning her novels.
