Considering the admirable box office take of films likeThe Jungle BookandCinderella, it doesn’t seem to be something that will let up soon and, compared to other strains of remakes and franchises, the results have been rather passable. Amongst the hash of the new titles rolling out, the most anticipated one may well beMary Poppins Returns, a remake-sequel to the 1964 classic,Mary Poppins, that starredJulie AndrewsandDick Van Dyke....

If you had to make a list of possible contenders thatFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagawould have to face when the time finally came to check it out in theaters, you probably wouldn’t putThe Garfield Movieon top of it. However, the animated movie gave the mega-blockbuster a run for its money and,during Memorial Day weekend, the lazy cat lost in domestic box office numbers but technically outperformed theMad Maxprequel internationally. WhileThe Garfield Moviealmost hit the $100 million mark worldwide, having gotten a head start internationally,Furiosa: A Mad Max Sagahad a modest opening, especially when you consider how much anticipation was built around the long-awaited new installment of the franchise....

FerrariandHeatdirectorMichael Mann’s been notoriously tightlipped about his second feature,The Keep. The 1983 fantasy-horror moviesuffered extensive cutsby the studio which undermined the director’s psychedelic approach to amovie about Nazisrelying on the expertise of a Jewish historian to save themselves from destruction. Looking back, it’s such an outlier in Mann’s filmography, which is so defined by neo-noir crime thrillers about professional men. The Keep has largely been forgotten, though remains a compelling experience because of the boldness of its vision....

Well, this is embarrassing. Even for an in-the-trenches pop culture reporter like yours truly, there’s a glut of content out there to experience, and it’s impossible to keep a track of it all. And I guess somewhere in the constant stream of stuff, some movie calledStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerwas announced, and is coming to theatres very soon. We’ve got a bunch of new images from the film, which I’m guessing will be the first time you’re seeing anything from the film, which I can only assume is some festival darling low-budget indie....

With directorDenis Villeneuve’sBlade Runner 2049(which I absolutely loved) opening in North America on October 6th, the other day I got to sit down withRobin Wrightfor an exclusive video interview.
