One of the strangest films paying at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival is a Netflix sci-fi offering from a Swedish filmmaker named Johan Renck. It's a strange pick not because the film is experimental or unconventional, it's strange because it doesn't make sense this film is playing at a festival. Spaceman will streaming be on Netflix in a few more weeks (starting March 1st). It's another mostly middle-of-the-road, easily-forgettable Netflix Original, and it doesn't really do anything crazy or exciting or clever that would make it worthy of a major festival premiere. It's also just a really strange film because it's about a giant, benevolent space spider (!!) that appears inside a spaceship that is traveling near Jupiter – astronaut Jakub is on a year-long solo mission to investigate a purple cloud of mysterious space dust that appeared near Jupiter a few years before. It's actually based on a true story, sort of, about the the country's first astronaut, Jakub Procházka, raised in the Czech countryside. But this intriguing backstory has nothing to do with what is happening in this ...

"I know what you're thinking... is it worth it? It's the job..." Vertical has revealed the official trailer for an intense thriller set on the streets of New York City titled Asphalt City, made by French filmmaker Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, of the film A Prayer Before Dawn previously. This first premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival last year under the title Black Flies, but got pretty dismal reviews from most critics. A young paramedic is paired with a seasoned partner on the night shift in NYC revealing a city in crisis. Discovering the chaos firsthand, he is tested with the ethical ambiguity that can often mean the difference between life & death. Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan co-star, along with Gbenga Akkinagbe, Raquel Nave, Kali Reis, with Michael C. Pitt, Katherine Waterston, and Mike Tyson (yes, seriously) as their captain. It's an intense and horrifying look at just how unsettling it is to work as an EMT / paramedic in NYC, tons of stress and gruesome encounters. I wish this was a better film, because it's really hard to watch ...

Drone warfare changed how America goes to war and, to an extent, the way filmmakers bring combat scenes to life. The bravura 2015 film “Eye in the Sky” explored the morality of pushing buttons to win battles (and potentially kill innocents in the process). “Land of Bad” veers in a different direction. Hard. The thriller …

"Laroi, he's so ambitious, I could tell he was gonna be huge." Prime Video has revealed an official trailer for another new music documentary called Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About A Kid Named Laroi, from OBB Media. As the title pretty clearly indicates, the film is about a young Australian rapped known as The Kid Laroi - who was originally named Charlton Howard before his moniker. He gained recognition from his association with American rapper Juice WRLD while he was on tour in Australia. He gained a local following before signing a joint venture record deal with both Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions and Columbia Records. The film is about his "growing up" over the last few years with all of his success. A moment in time for musician The Kid Laroi as he enters adulthood, navigating fame, mental health struggles, first love, and the death of his mentor Juice WRLD (who passed away in 2019 of a drug overdose). This film looks like yet another marketing doc for the music industry, as The Kid Laroi is only ...

After sweeping the Saturn Awards, Star Trek: Picard season 3's series finale gets a well-deserved nomination from the Writer's Guild Awards.

Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” inspired a flood of flashy copy-cats. His imitators aped his blend of hot action and cool banter. Suffice it to say few could come close to the real deal. That’s being generous. “Drive-Away Dolls” plays like a facsimile of a Coen brothers romp. Quirky dialogue. Spastic action. Southern twang talk. It’s …
