With its on-set tragedy in the distance, does "Rust" justify its existence? Alec Baldwin plays a cold outlaw with a heart of gold in a buddy-movie Western that lopes along more than it takes wing. My review. https://t.co/sgSAdp3TRS

Is "The Studio" fun but shallow? No, Seth Rogen's series is addictive because it gets to the heart of the new entertainment malaise. https://t.co/Jqr7pU6MGH

"Drop Dead City" takes a gripping look at how New York City almost went bankrupt in 1975, foreshadowing the current moment. https://t.co/NeBqGcQpas

"Becoming Madonna" comes on as a look at Madonn'a early days, but most of this archivally rich, dramatically scrappy documentary is set long after she became Madonna. https://t.co/3mHpIajjQn

I mostly agree with that, Bilge. It's a major problem. But I don't think it's THE problem.

Interesting piece, but imo it misdiagnoses the main problem: In many cases, people simply are not aware of what movies are coming out. There are plenty of films being made that people will want to see, but they don't know those movies exist. https://t.co/fo8hcYtikC

How can the movie industry thrive again? Simple: Make 100 movies a year that people want to see. https://t.co/2CV9Vz1jOq

Rami Malek plays a mad-as-hell secret-agent geek brainiac in #TheAmateur, a revenge thriller more by-the-code than it looks. https://t.co/IhZ1A9PyDL

Jason Momoa and Jack Black bro it up in #AMinecraftMovie, a genially weightless video-game quest. https://t.co/Xg3V8WQjRf

My tribute to Val Kilmer, a powerful actor who remained a reluctant movie star. https://t.co/MCEUADwQPb

#Warfare, co-directed by #AlexGarland and an Iraq War veteran, is a film that purports to show us what war is really like. But has it just left out the story? https://t.co/1mFkoAt2TU

Danielle Deadwyler stars in "The Woman in the Yard," a farmhouse horror movie that just sits there. https://t.co/nQwzTTuoiq

"Snow White," starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is one of the better live-action Disney remakes (and I say that as someone who mostly doesn't like them). And yes, the controversies are bupkis. My review. https://t.co/mLeWOxq54a

"The Makings of Curtis Mayfield," directed by H.E.R., is an irresistible celebration of the '70s funk-soul genius. My review from @SWSX. https://t.co/TS1K7S8ikM

Matthew McConaughey shines in "The Rivals of Amziah King," a neorealist beekeeper Western musical revenge fable that could make Angelina LookingGlass a star. My review from @SXSW. https://t.co/G9n6A7rUsm

"The Age of Disclosure" claims to offer proof that alien spaceships are visiting us. But does it? My review from @SXSW. https://t.co/xqC20n9tmn

BenAffleck's autistic action savant makes a winning return in #TheAccountant2, a thriller that improves on the first film's messiness. My review from @SXSW. https://t.co/wa2zOfHIMe

"Starman" is an outer-space documentary that's out of this world. My review from @SXSW. https://t.co/g3neSGKpuP
