Joker Movie Is More Character Study Than Comic Book Says Marc Maron

I attribute a large part of the interest inJokerto the fact that no one knows what to make of it right now. It’s disconnected from the rest of the DCEU, and it’s supposed to be grounded and serious but it’s from a director who’s largely known for comedy,Todd Phillips. That means whenever anything, no matter how miniscule, breaks about the movie, fanboys rush in eager to gobble up any semblance of what this movie could be even though they won’t even have a real inkling until the first trailer drops....

Kevin Smith, Saban Films Fire Up Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

I’ve always had a soft spot forKevin Smith, especially his 2001 comedyJay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which I quoted endlessly through high school. Those two characters are more than just stoner icons, as I believe their friendship has been one of the most enduring, not to mention endearing, in screen history. So I was delighted by today’s news that God will be re-opening the View Askewniverse book and they’ll be returning to theaters inJay and Silent Bob Reboot, a sequel that I’d gladly pay “$15 bucks, little man,” to see on the big screen....

Logan Lucky Review: Never Leave Us Again, Steven Soderbergh

Although he announced his retirement from filmmaking several years ago,Steven Soderberghnever truly abandoned us. In a world with better theatrical distribution models,Behind the Candelabrawould have been in theaters instead of on HBO, and Soderbergh still went on to crush it on TV with the critically acclaimed seriesThe Knick. But now he’s “back” withLogan Lucky, and he hasn’t missed a beat. While I don’t love all of Soderbergh’s films, his talent is undeniable, and withLogan Lucky, he takes a movie that could have been so breezy that it would have floated away or a film that could have poked fun at poor white people and instead came away with a movie that’s painfully funny, as cool as any of theOcean’smovies, and loves its hillbilly characters unabashedly....
