"Love is not to be blamed, people are. That's the miracle of life." Ain't that the truth! 💔 Don't blame love for everyone's craziness – it's just them. Netflix has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new streaming series called Lovers Anonymous, about the kooky guy who runs a Love Hospital in Turkey. This isn't a reality series nor is it a schmaltzy Hallmark romantic comedy, thankfully. From the footage in this teaser, it looks like something along the lines of The Lobster or Fingernails or Equals. Cem, scarred by a childhood that crushed his trust in love, runs the "Love Hospital" (to cure those suffering from the "love disease") – until Hazal, who believes in the power of love, disrupts his life. Will they both change each other? Will Cem learn to appreciate the power of love? This stars Halit Ergenc, Funda Eryiğit, Rıza Kocaoğlu, Zerrin Nişancı, Selcuk Borak, İdil Fırat, Ceren Benderlioğlu, & Seda Akman. Actually seems like it might be good, with some sly commentary on modern romance and ideas on how to overcome romantic troubles. Here's the first teaser trailer for Netflix's romance series Lovers Anonymous, direct from YouTube: Cem (Halit Ergenç), scarred by […]

Nicole Kidman’s character in “Babygirl” has it all. Almost literally. She’s the CEO of a powerhouse tech company, has two adoring teens and her dutiful spouse looks suspiciously like Antonio Banderas. Her descent into lust, the kind we rarely see in modern movies, is the heart of this erotic drama. It’s a shame that the …

We are starting the new year soon, and that means we need a new Movie of the Month for January. The choices are wide open and you can certainly find something you would like to talk about.

Howard Casner of “Pop Art” has submitted “The American Astronaut” from 2001 for what may be the third time. Persistence pays off if you want it to.

Dave Anderson of “Free Kittens Movie Guide” thinks the 1970s rule, so he knows you want to talk about William Fredkin’s underrated masterpiece “Sorcerer”.

Do you think Sam Rockwell is unique as an actor? If we choose “Moon” from 2009, you will get a chance to comment on that idea. Bubbawheat from “It’s Time to Rewind” thinks it is an experience worth replicating. 

Finally, The Vern from “Cinema Recall” wants you to choose “Possession” from 1981, a film that looks exactly like a movie the Vern would like to discuss.

You have until January 19 to get in your votes. Also, there is room on the show if you are interested. 

Rachel Morrison’s “The Fire Inside” arrives at the same time as the smaller but also accomplished boxing sleeper, “Day of the Fight.” Morrison’s film takes the opposite approach to that film in terms of presenting its big matches – whereas “Day of the Fight” is a long build up to a great boxing match, “The …

Kathy Griffin remains the face of the Trump Resistance 1.0. The comic posted a photograph of her holding a severed Donald Trump head in 2017, igniting a media maelstrom. She apologized, un-apologized and watched her job opportunities vanish. Griffin revived her career slowly, in part, because her fellow stars outflanked her Trump rage. Some openly …

Stephen Colbert didn’t cry on-air over Donald Trump’s re-election unlike one of his late-night peers. “The Late Show” host might shed some tears after hearing his fellow progressives tear into him. “The Last Laugh’s” Matt Wilstein and co-host Andy Levy reviewed comedy’s impact on pop culture in 2024 on the latest episode.

"If you could just get up there one more time, use that music in the right way..." Searchlight Pictures has revealed one final trailer for A Complete Unknown, the fantastic Bob Dylan flick arriving in theaters this holiday season. It'll be playing in cinemas nationwide starting December 25th, Christmas Day, this week. At the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a young Bob Dylan shakes up his act on the folk music scene by going electric and siring rock as the voice of a generation - defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th century music. Timothée Chalamet stars as a young Bob Dylan in this film written and directed by James Mangold, coming off of the Indiana Jones movie. It also stars Edward Norton as Pete Seeger (one of the best supporting performances of the year), Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz, and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie. I finally had a chance to see this and it's exceptional - earning a spot on my Top 10 list just before the end of the year. Now is your chance to catch it on the big […]

"People will believe what they need to believe. The truth is the truth, but it's not always the most important thing." Netflix has revealed a first look teaser trailer for an intense new upcoming thriller series called Zero Day, debuting to watch on Netflix streaming starting in late February (this teaser will also air during NFL games). This highly anticipated Netflix conspiracy series is about finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack (known as "Zero Day") that has caused chaos around the country. In the midst of crisis: how can we discover the truth when it seems that the world is being destroyed by uncontrollable forces? Also, to what extent are conspiracy theories our own inventions or products of our imagination? For those curious to learn more, you can watch Alex Gibney's doc film also titled Zero Days about the realities of a cyber attack like this. Starring Robert De Niro as a former President, Angela Bassett as the current President, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Matthew Modine, Dan Stevens, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann, and Clark Gregg. This certainly looks like a zeitgeist thriller – not only about the age of misinformation we're in now, but […]
