Fun Trailer for Cheesy A.I. Comedy ‘Renner’ Featuring Frankie Muniz

"Renner - I'm detecting a network breach." Alert, alert, another A.I. movie incoming. An official trailer has debuted for an indie sci-fi film called Renner, another funky Artificial Intelligence thriller / comedy about an A.I. system gone awry. This little film is getting a theatrical release starting in February next month - if anyone is curious about it. Muniz is back! A computer genius invents an A.I. life coach (named Salenus) to help him find love, but realizes too late he accidentally programmed his manipulative mother into the code. Ha! What a funny concept. As dark secrets & betrayals begin to surface, Salenus' influence on Renner takes a malicious turn, leaving him entangled in the devastating consequences of his invention. Starring Frankie Muniz, Violett Beane, Taylor Gray, and Marcia Gay Harden as the voice of Salenus. There have been tons of A.I. thrillers recently, so this isn't new, but it's a fun twist on the usual. Her if it was an SNL sketch. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Robert Rippberger's sci-fi film Renner, direct from YouTube: Renner (starring Frankie Muniz), a reclusive computer genius driven by a need for control, designs an A.I. named Salenus to help him […]

Alex’s Top 10 Favorite Films of 2024 – Corbet & Fingscheidt & Baker

"I've found our conversation persuasive and intellectually stimulating." Indeed, Mr. Van Buren. It's always exciting to discover intellectually stimulating films. Another year, another Top 10. After watching more than 400 films throughout 2024 (always logging everything on my Letterboxd for anyone curious) it's time to share my final selection of My Top 10 Favorite Films of 2024. I try to watch as much as I can and give myself time to catch up with any extra films at the end of the year, but my favorites can come from anytime in 2024. Rohrwacher's La Chimera already was my #1 of 2023 last year, which is why I'm extra happy it's appearing on so many other Top 10 lists this year. For 2024 - I went for the ones that really impressed me, including The Brutalist, Anora, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing, A Complete Unknown, and Conclave, among others. I'm not really a fan of I Saw the TV Glow, The Beast, or All We Imagine as Light. So these are my personal picks, the 10 that reminded me that cinema is still capable of being innovative and original and invigorating. For the previous year's Top 10 of 2023 list, topped by […]

Final US Trailer for ‘Autumn and the Black Jaguar’ Story of Friendship

"There's only jaguar left and its days are numbered..." Blue Fox is releasing this uplifting animal friendship movie in theaters later this month. Autumn and the Black Jaguar is an adventure movie from the same French filmmakers behind Mia and the White Lion and The Wolf and the Lion previously. So pretty much the same thing all over again - another girl and a wild cat becoming friends and saving each other. This also has a few other different titles including Ella and the Black Jaguar, or Le dernier Jaguar, because it's a French production and the her original name in that version Ella (but in this it's Autumn). However, the film is entirely in English anyway. A new adventure in the heart of the Amazon, the story follows a girl who befriends a black Jaguar in the Amazon, and returns years later to find the Jaguar and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and all of its wildlife. Lumi Pollack stars as Ella / Autumn, along with Wane Baker, Paul Greene, Emily Bett Rickards, and Kelly Hope Taylor. It looks inspiring and wholesome - a movie made for animal lovers. Even though it's cheesy and […]

Russell Brand Scorched for Andrew Tate Support

Most conservatives don’t want firebrands like Alex Jones and Andrew Tate kicked off social media platforms. That’s not the same as supporting their extreme views. Jones’ initial claim that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting never happened cost him more than $1 billion. That controversy kicked him off most social media platforms, in addition …
