Variety Magazine writer Michael Schneider posed an interesting question: Can the Baby Yoda, or artificial characters in general, compete for awards? The initial answer is no, since both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actor's Guild have said there isn't an award for non-human characters in film. A
Two weeks and two days. That's all that separates us from the epic conclusion of a Star Wars saga that began some forty-two years ago. When Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters, Daisy Ridley (Rey) will be front and center. She's already featured prominently in nearly every film promo to
Aside from Rian Johnson, no one person associated with Star Wars has had a target painted on them as big as the one on Kathleen Kennedy. The beleaguered Lucasfilm president's run has been nothing if not tempestuous. Under her watch, Star Wars relaunched with the blockbuster first installment of the

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger feels like a movie that’s selling itself as something deeper than it ultimately is. There’s an expectation that we’re going to get this grand story about the Gallagher brothers reconciling, putting aside their differences, and coming back together for these
There will be many moments during Paul Greengrass's new film The Uprising that create chilling parallels to recent historical events. His exploration of the 1381 peasants revolt in Medieval England is rooted as much in historical fact as it is relevant to the present day. Some of this is clearly by
“By Any Means” treads familiar ground, but Mark Wahlberg shines as real life Hitman-turned-Fed informer Gregory Scarpa, and behind the tropes and cinematic conventions is the kernel of a true story that has relevance to this day. Mark Wahlberg is distracting (mostly in a good way) throughout
