After a yearlong search, the Sundance Film Festival announced Thursday that its new home will be Boulder, Colorado, keeping Sundance in the mountains but moving it out of Park City, the Utah ski town that had for decades provided the premier independent film gathering its picturesque snowy backdrop. Organizers said that after 40 years in the mountains, … Read more
Jennifer Lopez is headed to the slopes. Her new movie-musical, “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” will have its world premiere in January at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Based on John Kander and Fred Ebb’s Broadway show (which itself is based on Manuel Puig’s 1976 novel), “Spider Woman” is directed by … Read more
Making Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin the leads of a heartwarming movie about family bonds (the non-back-stabbing kind) and self-discovery would seem counter-intuitive. Culkin has just finished up playing Roman Roy, the cutthroat, foul-mouthed media scion on HBO’s “Succession.” And Eisenberg, even though he’s had a long and varied career, is still best known for … Read more
Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal’s annual Tribeca Festival, which opened Wednesday night and runs through June 16, will look a little different this year. For the first time, Tribeca will give awards to short films generated by artificial intelligence. It’s one of the entertainment industry’s first public embraces of the new technology, which many … Read more
Malia Obama opted to release her first Hollywood directional effort under a stage name, but social media is still blasting the former First Daughter for her “nepo baby” roots. The 25-year-old daughter of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama wrote and directed the short film, “The Heart,” which debuted at on Jan. … Read more
Hollywood can’t stop huffing and puffing. And I don’t mean celebrities’ annoying political bloviating during awards season speeches. Movies, lately, have become littered with drugs and booze. At the Sundance Film Festival in January, I watched depressing flick after depressing flick about dealers, addicts, good trips, bad trips, pills, pot, meth, coke, Rohypnol, injectable steroids … Read more
The Sundance Film Festival’s lineups can often be dark affairs with edgy shocks, narcotics and strident political talking points. But one of the most soul-satisfying movies to premiere at the 2024 edition features no drug dealers, whistleblowers or bloodbaths. It’s about a sweet 93-year-old grandma who collects marbles and rides a mobility scooter. And, OK, … Read more
“We Are the World” was one a once-in-a-generation meeting of musical giants when it was recorded on Jan. 28, 1985 — and released two months later on March 7 — to benefit African famine relief. Anyone who was anyone in music at that moment — a who’s who of legends including everyone from Stevie Wonder, … Read more
Steven Soderbergh’s new horror movie “Presence,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is unsettling all right. The “Erin Brockovich” director moves his camera around so much, you want to yell at the screen, “Settle down, please! I have a headache!” There is a rationale for his nearly-nonstop motion shtick: the audience is experiencing the … Read more
The year’s first possible Oscar contender — well, for 2025 — is Saoirse Ronan as a tortured alcoholic who seeks refuge in nature in “The Outrun.” The actress is gutsy and raw, and doesn’t overplay a single second like so many accolade-hungry actors in addiction movies do. Director Nora Fingscheidt’s tough drama, which premiered at … Read more
Rihanna’s song “We Found Love” could be about the film “Love Lies Blooding,” for there are few places more hopeless than the sleazy desert setting of Kristen Stewart’s twisted romance. The A24 movie premiered Saturday night at Sundance, which is the perfect launching spot for the grungy story of two lesbians who meet during a … Read more
“Saturday Night Live” legend Will Ferrell revealed Sunday that he had “zero knowledge” of the trans experience until his close friend of 30 years Harper Steele came out to him in 2022. “I know I’ve met trans people before,” Ferrell, 56, told Variety in a clip posted to the outlet’s social media. “I didn’t have … Read more
Matthew Reeve said it was “absolutely incredible” watching his father, Christopher Reeve, receive a long standing ovation at the 1996 Oscars one year after his horse-riding accident left him a paraplegic. It was the actor’s first public appearance since the accident in 1995, which left him paralyzed from the neck down. On that dramatic night … Read more
PARK CITY, Utah — An anti-Israel march that included booted “Scream’’ actress Melissa Barrera interrupted the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, holding up traffic as Hollywood elite attended movie premieres and parties nearby. Barrera, 33 — who appeared in “Scream VI” but was fired from the seventh “Scream” film over her controversial remarks on the … Read more
Never before in my life have I left a movie thinking, “All that needed was 20 more minutes.” Not once, until I saw “My Old Ass,” which premiered Saturday night at the Sundance Film Festival. Director Megan Park’s otherwise dreamy teen romance flick with a time-travel twist was chugging along quite sublimely, and then it … Read more

David Schwimmer has never been known for his movies. Perusing the “Friends” star’s film resume is quick — and painful. There’s “Six Days Seven Nights,” “The Laundromat” and “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,” among other screen non-classics. But the actor’s undeniable charisma and uniqueness are finally put to proper full-length use in the demented “Little … Read more
If you want proof that the Marvel Cinematic Universe sucks the creativity out of good directors like a Hollywood vampire, watch “Freaky Tales.” Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who helmed 2019’s lifeless “Captain Marvel,” their latest movie has, um, flecks of the supernatural heroism and urban vigilante justice that we associate with the … Read more
Malia Obama made her red carpet debut at the Sundance Film Festival Thursday night ahead of the premiere of her short film, “The Heart.” The eldest daughter of former US President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama posed for photos at the Prospector Square Theater in Park City, Utah, ahead of a screening … Read more
