Salma Hayek on the Trump-Clairvoyance of 'Beatriz at Dinner'

Mike White(Enlightenment, School of Rock) is a very perceptive writer who understands that it’s much harder to change people’s convictions in real life than entertainment would lead you to believe. Watching his latest film,Beatriz at Dinner, directed by his frequent collaborator,Miguel Arteta(The Good Girl), it feels very much like a dinner discussion that many of us would like to have right now: with the opposite side of the political aisle. That goes for both Conservatives and Liberals because White’s film isn’t a wish-fulfillment tell off, it’s a fairly natural representation of the hubris that builds within a contained bubble and that a single puncture isn’t going to deflate anyone’s views outright....

The 10 Best Found Footage Movies, Ranked

Found footage has had it rough. After the success of the intensely DIYThe Blair Witch Projectin 1999, the filmmaking approach became indie horror’s go-to to turn minuscule budgets (and occasionally underdeveloped talent) into quick, visceral moneymakers with varying rates of success. But after seventeen years since the subgenre hit a cultural nerve, barrels of hacky missteps have left the term “found footage” with a coating of cliché. But to write off the genre would be a mistake – beyond allowing talented first-time filmmakers to get their foot in the cinematic door without investing millions of dollars into a project, found footage, if done correctly, can invest in effective realism, often resulting in filmmaking that’s more personal and compelling than traditional takes on genre....
