For the six Travolta children, Halloween was a big deal.

If the cult techno sci-fi films “Tron” (1982) and “Tron: Legacy” (2010) are about humans going into “the grid” of the digital world, then the newest installment in this franchise, “Tron: Ares,” is about the digital world invading our own. Allegorically, this feels right for our particular moment, the film depicting AI super soldiers wreaking a path of destruction through human cities, but despite the ethical questions the film presents, it still can’t shake the franchise's enduring techno-optimism (or inevitability), even as it encourages getting “offline.”

Both of Quentin Tarantino‘s “Kill Bill” movies will finally be released on the big screen as one film, as he initially intended.

Benny Safdie wants to challenge our expectations of the traditional sports movie. His first solo directorial outing without his brother Josh, “The Smashing Machine” is a biopic that zigs when you expect it to zag, parries rather than jabs, feints before delivering a punch.

J.K. Rowling wants you to know that "Harry Potter" actors "have every right" to disagree with her about trans rights — but she's taking the kid gloves off.

Legendary auteur Paul Thomas Anderson has made the film of the year with the incendiary, incisive and frequently quite funny “One Battle After Another,” which just happens to be a searing indictment of this particular moment in American history. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel “Vineland” (this is his second Pynchon adaptation, after 2014’s “Inherent Vice”), Anderson transplants the ...

My initiation into the “KPop Demon Hunters” phenomenon came while traveling on vacation in Taiwan, courtesy of my 19-year-old niece, Sienna.

“The world will know you as pop stars, but you will be much more than that.”

Fans of the writer Anthony Horowitz know how he likes to play around with traditional British mystery plots. His novel “The Magpie Murders” is a good example, deconstructing the genre by being a book within a book.

It all started with a purchase of land in the 1960s. Then, from that small slice of Utah and the founding of the Sundance Institute in 1981 and, later, its expansion into the Sundance Film Festival, Robert Redford developed a vision that would reshape on-screen storytelling as we know it. Sundance opened doors for multiple generations of filmmakers who might not otherwise have gained entry to the movie business.

Ahead of a 50th anniversary screening of "Jaws" this month at the AMC Theatres in Century City, even the trailers were nostalgic.

It’s been quite the year for unique Stephen King adaptations, and “The Long Walk” is only the latest to hit theaters in 2025. Adapted from his 1979 novel published under the pen name Richard Bachman, the story follows a group of teenage boys who participate in a deadly walking contest in hopes of earning a cash prize. They walk until there’s only one survivor left, accelerated by a speed requirement. Drop below the limit and they’re shot on sight. It’s a bleakly dystopian – and graphically violent – look at totalitarian capitalism, anchored by beautiful performances from Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, who become friends and brothers along the way.
