In a word, the Spokane International Film Festival is all about passion.

In 1903, a young Japanese man who called himself Frank Matsura came to live in the central Washington town of Conconully.

With her audacious sophomore feature “The Bride!” writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal offers a topical-ish take on “Bride of Frankenstein”: what if “the Joker” was “brat”? (To borrow Charli XCX’s ineffable description of a rebellious party girl personality.) Gyllenhaal brings this modern concept to the 91-year-old James Whale film (his sequel to “Frankenstein”), in which Elsa Lanchester made the ...

Beatlemania is back, and we’re not just talking about the response to the “Heated Rivalry” boys, which continues unabated. No, the actual Beatles remain relevant, with new films and projects coming out and in the pipeline.

It’s almost hard to describe how astonishingly bad “Scream 7” is — though it isn’t entirely surprising considering the circumstances surrounding the film and the lead-up to its production. In 2023, Spyglass Media Group summarily dismissed franchise reboot star Melissa Barrera, who anchored 2022’s “Scream” and “Scream VI,” for posting on social media in support of Palestinians. Shortly after Barrera’s firing, co-star Jenna Ortega departed the film, as well as new director Christopher Landon.

Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) is no ordinary convicted man on death row, and not just because he wears a satin slumber mask with his prison coveralls. The story he tells, to a visiting priest (Adrian Lukis), is an astonishing one: how he, born to a obscenely rich family yet shut out of its fortunes, schemed to bump off every relative standing in the way of a vast inheritance.

For a long time, the image of “Elvis in Vegas” has been a joke: the white jumpsuits, the sunglasses, the sideburns. It’s meant more “Halloween costume” than “rock god” recently, but Baz Luhrmann is here to set the record straight. While working on his sprawling 2022 biopic “Elvis,” the filmmaker went searching for lost footage of the Elvis Presley concert films “Elvis: That’s the Way It Is” and ...

Shia LaBeouf was arrested for a fight outside a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras celebrations early Tuesday morning.

Robert Duvall, a veteran of many leading roles but best known for his sharp portrayal of supporting characters like the Godfather’s Irish-American consigliere and the unhinged Army colonel who loved the smell of napalm in the morning, died at 95, his wife Luciana Duvall announced on Facebook.

LOS ANGELES — In a smoothly run show peppered with sharp humor but, for the most part, a dearth of pointed political commentary — save for one unscripted expression of anti-ICE sentiment from "The White Lotus" star Natasha Rothwell — the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Awards celebrated its 41st edition on Sunday in Hollywood. The ceremony has long served as a counterpoint to the Oscars: looser, ...

It’s nearly impossible to resist Michael Mann’s 1995 epic crime saga “Heat” — especially for many filmmakers, who often can’t ignore the siren call to make their own Los Angeles-based crime movie featuring a psychologically complex relationship between a perfectionist robber and an obsessive cop (e.g., “Den of Thieves,” “Wrath of Man”). Writer/director Bart Layton, who previously made the quirky art heist thriller “American Animals,” now offers up his version of “Heat” with “Crime 101,” based on a 2020 novella by Don Winslow, about a jewel thief who never strays far from the 101 Freeway.
