Film Review: ‘Caught by the Tides’ is Another Daring Work of Art from Jia Zhangke

2 days ago | awardsradar.com | Maxance Vincent

Less a narrative feature than an impressionistic work of art, Jia Zhangke distills the past twenty years of his life through the perspective of Qiaoqiao (Zhao Tao) in his latest film, Caught by the Tides. The only “newly” shot portion for the movie occurs during its final half, set in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, as Qiaoqiao reunites with her former lover, Bin (Li Zhubin), for the first time since their separation.

Some characters leap off the screen and Olympia Lawrence, as played by the magnetic Skye P. Marshall is one of them. The actress has credits that include Indivisible, Good Sam, and Sundance darling To Live and Die and Live, but she’s seriously phenomenal as the powerhouse attorney in CBS’s Matlock. Paired with Kathy Bates in the titular role, Marshall has been such a treat to watch this season.

Back at it a day after Mother’s Day! As you all know, I’m ranking the newest crop of Academy Award winners, with the column almost complete. For nearly all of the Oscar categories (including a new one today), you’ll see me list the top 25 recipients of that prize. Sometimes, our newest winner will appear. Other times, they’ll be relegated to the Honorable Mention category. Who knows, maybe one or two won’t even make the cut?
TV Review: ‘Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld’ is a Mixed Third Entry in the ‘Tales’ Saga

3 days ago | awardsradar.com | Maxance Vincent

After Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire, one would think that the pocket of stories in this side of the Star Wars universe would be pretty much exhausted, though one also understands that the possibilities of filling in the gaps on specific characters of this ever-expansive universe are endless.
Interview: Cinematographer Alex Disenhof Discusses Season Two of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'

3 days ago | awardsradar.com | Maxance Vincent

Season two of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is much darker than the first season, which built the foundation of what Middle-earth would look like in Prime Video’s television series. Naturally, in adapting to the storytelling changes of the series, the visual language also has to evolve. This was one of cinematographer Alex Disenhof‘s primary tasks in developing how this season would aesthetically differentiate from the last one, as he explains below, in an interview with Awards Radar.
Box Office Report for the Week of May 11

3 days ago | awardsradar.com | Maxance Vincent

It looks like the marketing gimmick for Thunderbolts* has worked in its favor, as the movie is holding pretty well after Marvel Studios renamed it The New Avengers in the wake of its title reveal during the end credits. Some cinema chains even went ahead and renamed the film this way, even though Disney still refers to it as Thunderbolts*. In any event, we can say that this could pave the way for Marvel’s return as the undefeated kings of the box office after a few missteps and critical duds.

Sunday Scaries: A Mother’s Day Without One is Not For the Faint of Heart (Revisited for 2025)

4 days ago | awardsradar.com | Joey Magidson

Once again, here is something a little different today for the Sunday Scaries, much like I’ve done for the past few years. Today is, of course, Mother’s Day, which used to be a happy occasion in my family. We’d almost always go to my grandmother’s apartment and jointly celebrate her, my mother, my aunt, all the moms. Obviously, that was not the case the past couple of years, after mine passed suddenly in January of 2023.
