  • Greta Gerwig’s Titular Indie Emphasizes the Importance of This Lesser-Known Genre

    5 days ago | collider.com | Thomas Butt

    It's a miracle that Greta Gerwig emerged as one of our most exciting filmmakers working today, considering that her roots began in the much-maligned subgenre of mumblecore. Peaking in the 2000s, mumblecore is a style of indie, microbudget light dramedies heavy on improvisation between actors in their twenties discussing the mundane struggles of young adult life.

  • If You Loved 'Tár' (and Who Didn’t?), You Need to Check Out the Director’s Sweeping Drama That Just Landed on Paramount+

    6 days ago | collider.com | Thomas Butt

    Stunningly, Todd Field has only directed three feature films—and that needs to change. The writer-director of one of the best movies of the 2020s so far, Tár, is preternaturally gifted as a visual storyteller and dramatist, diving deep into the human psyche of characters on the brink of self-destruction.

  • These Unforgettable Few Minutes of 'Late Night' Cemented Conan O’Brien as the Comedy King

    6 days ago | collider.com | Thomas Butt

    There is no one doing it like Conan O'Brien as a host or comedian. Although the fan-favorite icon has seemingly retired from late-night hosting duties for good, O'Brien still remains a relevant and beloved figure in pop culture, and his unique energy and spirit is alive and well on his podcast, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.

  • I Can’t Believe Denzel Washington Has Never Worked With These Acclaimed, Amazing Directors

    6 days ago | collider.com | Thomas Butt

    An on-screen legend deserves to be paired up with talent on par with their excellence. For Denzel Washington, meeting those standards is unfairly high. Still, it's alarming to scroll through the legendary actor's filmography and learn that he has never worked with many of our most celebrated directors of the last 50 years.

  • Believe It or Not, 'Taxi Driver' Almost Had a Video Game Sequel

    1 week ago | collider.com | Thomas Butt

    No matter how prestigious your film is, it is not immune from receiving a shameless video game adaptation—the ill-advised video game re-imagining of The Godfather can speak to this. While many of our biggest blockbusters are inspired by hit video games, turning a beloved cinematic classic into a game experience was viewed as distasteful to the likes of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, who successfully shot down the brief attempt to turn Taxi Driver into an open-world sandbox game.
