'BlackBerry' is the dramatized retelling of the rise and fall of the once iconic smartphone company and we spoke to the two leads steering the ship, Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel.
The 1990s were a big decade for Hollywood studio-produced political comedies and satires, and the high-concept story of 'Dave' was certainly one of the most heartwarming.
Ari Aster's new film, 'Beau is Afraid,' has probably been the most divisive and controversial films released in recent memory. With one of those major criticisms being that A24 shouldn't have spent $35 million on it.
Arriving 40 years ago this week, 'Flashdance' was a major hit and a significant film for several reasons, though it didn't lead Jennifer Beals to the type of career she probably should have.
Ever since its debut at Sundance in January, director Raine Allen-Miller's 'Rye Lane' has been building up buzz, and we got a chance to talk with her along with Vivian Oparah and David Jonsson about bringing the film to life.
It's normally a hacky device for a biography to take the position that "this isn't really about its subject- it's actually about America," but 'Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America' somehow pulls it off.

'The Truman Show' arrived 25 years ago now, with something real to say about the life and culture of America in the late '90s and still stands as one of Jim Carrey's greatest performances.

The 1990s were a time when a lot of filmmakers made movies that were meant to function as manifestos on the political climate of the day, and probably the weirdest one was 'Bulworth.'

The day has finally come, Netflix made the announcement, they're ending their DVD-by-mail business at the end of September. Sad days indeed.

'42' is a very good film, that lends Jackie Robinson's story the gravity it likely deserves, with a standout Chadwick Boseman as the lead, but it still felt a little too small.
Released 10 years ago, 'Room 237' had a simple conceit: nine people provide their own theories about a single film, Stanley Kubrick's 1980 'The Shining.'
'Primary Colors' occupies a strange place in the canon of American movies about politics. An unfortunate flop that was released right in the middle of the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Made in 1993, 'CB4' was a consistently funny satire of the hip-hop music and culture of that specific era and likely Chris Rock's best movie he played a lead role in.
