Brad Pitt

It is hard to believe but Fight Club is now more than 20 years old. David Fincher’s magnum opus on men, insomnia, and soap opened in theaters on October 15, 1999. The controversial film quickly became a cult favorite and soon was one of the most quoted films of its era.

But that was 20 years ago. One of its two stars, Brad Pitt, now jokes that he no longer even remembers the first rule of Fight Club. (We would tell him what it is, but that would break the first rule of Fight Club.) Honored with the Maltin Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this week, Pitt accepted his prize with a very funny speech where he marked the passing of time in his career by acknowledging all the things he is now too old to do...

Richard Stanley is a name many mainstream moviegoers may not be aware of, but for certain genre fans, it’s a name that brings great joy. The director behind Hardware and Dust Devil hasn’t made a feature-length movie since his ill-fated adaptation of The Island of Doctor Moreau in 1996. Until now that is. Stanley is back and, this time, he’s tackling an H.P. Lovecraft adaptation in the form of Color Out of Space. Just for good measure, he’s brought Nicolas Cage along for the ride. The end result is a decidedly weird, uncompromising Lovecraftian technicolor nightmare.

Color Out of Space centers on the Gardner family who is living the quiet life far removed from the city...

Defends ‘Tropic Thunder’ Blackface

Ben Stiller’s Hollywood studio satire Tropic Thunder ambushed moviegoers nearly 12 years ago. And yet after all this time, there’s one aspect of this wild ride of a movie we can’t seem to fully comprehend — Stiller’s decision to put Robert Downey Jr. in blackface for the role of Kirk Lazarus, and RDJ’s subsequent agreement to this decision. Downey Jr. addresses the issue in an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, in support of his equally-baffling Dolittle. While he understands that his role in Tropic Thunder ruffled feathers in a major way, he does his best to justify the thought process behind the problematic character choice:

[Ben] knew exactly what the vision for this was, he executed it, it was impossible to not hav...

The costume designer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) explains her DIY approach to Harley’s wardrobe. Directed by Cathy Yan and written by Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey sees Margot Robbie returning as Harley Quinn. Unlike her debut in 2016’s Suicide Squad, this time around Harley will be teaming up with a group of superheroes named Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) to save Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) from the villainous Black Mask (Ewan McGregor) and Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina). The film has officially received an R rating as well, making it the first DCEU film with that rating.

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is the confirmation of the new direction Warner Bros. is taking for their DC films moving forward.
