There are those out there who feel that Pixar has lost its touch, at least a little bit. The studio was putting out almost nothing but fantastic films during its first two or so decades. The Toy Story trilogy, WALL-E, Up, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Inside Out, Coco, Finding Nemo, and Monsters Inc. all help make up an incredible string of great releases from Pixar. However, many believe that the studio started to slip, especially in recent years. To be honest, that’s something of a fair assessment but it’s more because of the absurdly high bar that Pixar set for itself.…

One imagines that Virginia Woolf’s name has been inserted into the title of this adaptation of her second novel because it is undeniably her most obscure – not least to distinguish it from the 1946 Cole Porter biopic directed by Michael Curtiz, and of course the 2010 Cruise-Diaz action comedy Knight and Day. Yet doing so might be misleading for those familiar with Woolf’s experimental and stream-of-consciousness narratives, such as ​‘Mrs Dalloway’ and ​‘Orlando’, for ​‘Night and Day’ is, as the author herself described it, rather flat. It is certainly the most conventional of her novels, which makes it ripe…

In our latest Spider-Man video, we’ll break down why we think this isn’t a Spider-Man film with…

Taylor Sheridan on the red carpetABACA/INSTARimages.com Taylor Sheridan may be leaving Paramount to start a new chapter of his career at Universal, but it’s in the studio’s best interest not to tamper with what he’s established. Sheridan remains at the helm of multiple hit projects at Paramount, although his day-to-day involvement in the two latest installments of his platform-defining Yellowstone franchise has reportedly been limited. The two shows premiered rather close to each other, with one expanding the franchise to linear television and the second continuing its streaming domination. The latter, Dutton Ranch, saw an increase in viewership in its…

Heavy is the head that wears the Xbox Game Pass crown. Right now, Xbox is having a go at it, trying to figure out what the brand’s future will be in the coming years. They just announced a ton of new titles for their Summer Game Fest (SGF) 2026 showcase, but some first-party studios are reportedly in trouble. This comes in addition to recontextualizing Xbox Game Pass pricing and offerings, and the looming Project Helix, set to arrive at some point, bringing Microsoft into the next generation. There’s a lot up in the air at the moment, but something is…

While at the GP collecting some routine test results, Nino (Théodore Pellerin) is suddenly asked if he has his cancer-care routine sorted. He’s shocked, as the GP has unfortunately skipped a feedback stage and hasn’t actually mentioned the fact that Nino has throat cancer. Fair play to writer/​director Pauline Loquès for opting to make a film that talks in a level-headed and unsentimental manner about what it feels like as a young person to be told that you’ve got cancer. Whether anyone would actually want to watch that film is another story, especially one that seems so desperate to hide the practical stigma attached…

Sugar is a strange show. The Colin Farrell-led Apple TV series, which first premiered two years ago, follows an LA-based private eye and cinephile investigating the case of a missing woman. Sounds simple enough, but there’s a twist: The titular John Sugar isn’t human, nor is he from Earth. He’s a blue-skinned alien, disguising himself as a human with Farrell’s handsome looks. Sugar Season 1 began as a promising throwback to film noir of yesteryear before unveiling a twist that would go on to make or break the series for many. Almost two years later, Season 2 is finally premiering…
