‘Alien: Romulus’ Review: Nasty Surprises Lurk In The Dark Corners Of Fede Álvarez’s Faithful But Inventively Tense Sequel
The seventh instalment in the increasingly aimless Alien franchise is better than it has any right to be, a genuinely thoughtful reimagining that pays stylish homage to the one-two punch packed by Ridley Scott and James Cameron in 1979 and 1986 but adds in some inventively nasty surprises of its own…

Matt Berry, “Bedfordshire’s Christopher Walken”, Talks ‘Toast Of London’, ‘Moon’ And Cult Vampire Comedy ‘What We Do In The Shadows’
“Who is that actor?” It’s probably everyone’s reaction to their first experience of Britain’s Matt Berry.

‘Harold And The Purple Crayon’ Review: Zachary Levi And Jemaine Clement Face Off In A Thoughtful Family-Friendly Fantasy
By itself, the opening 10-minute salvo of Harold and the Purple Crayon — Carlos Saldanha's live-action feature debut — is a thing of rare beauty, a near-perfect stand-alone preface that effortlessly summarizes Crockett Johnson's 1955 picture book. Neatly…

‘Touch’ Review: Baltasar Kormákur’s Melancholy Lost-Love Story Is Familiar But Charming
On the surface, Touch seems to be a sudden change of pace for Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur, a quiet and polished film-of-the-book (in this case, the novel of the same name by fellow countryman Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson) that could easily pass for a BBC…
‘Twisters’ Review: Disaster Movie Reboot Offers Spectacle But Little Substance
The original Twister, released in 1996, emerged during a golden age in Hollywood that erased the previously held threshold that kept A-list actors away from B-movie material. It didn't get much better than casting John Malkovich as Cyrus the Virus in Jerry Bruckheimer's 1997 blockbuster bruiser Con Air…
‘Fly Me To The Moon’ Review: Scarlett Johansson And Channing Tatum Fire On All Cylinders In A Screwy Space-Race Rom-Com
Chemistry has always been Hollywood's secret sauce, and, for rom-coms at least, the high-water mark remains the pairing of Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Most cineastes can name their first collaboration (Pillow Talk in 1959), but the others — Lover Come Back…

As the Academy prepares to debut an award for casting directors at the 2026 Oscars, the timing was right for Francine Maisler to travel this week to the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic for a tribute organized by its Industry Days office. Taking the stage for a KVIFF Talk…
‘Xoftex’ Review: Noaz Deshe’s Delirious Refugee Story Captures The Eternal Disorientation Of The Stateless Mind – Karlovy Vary
It wouldn't be a film festival without at least one timely, harrowing emigrant story, but just when you might think the stylistic possibilities have been exhausted — from documentary, to vérité-style fiction and occasionally a dash of deadpan comedy (like Ben Sharrock's wonderful Limbo, 2020) — along…
Football Fever Hits Karlovy Vary As European Championships Reach Knockout Stage
“I’m sorry for you, and I’m sorry for me," Viggo Mortensen quipped to an Italian journalist Sunday morning before a press conference at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
The comment was a reference to the European Football Championships, currently taking place over the Czech border in Germany, and…

Christmas has come early for genre fans this year with the release of MaXXXine, the third and perhaps not-so-final part of a horror trilogy that began in 2022 with X, a splatterfest set in the '70s porn industry.
