When he finally resurfaced, he had a truly epic screenplay calledKill Billthat he intended to make as his fourth film.

For legendary filmmakerJohn Ford, telling the story of the American West through a demystified lens is conveyed through a singular image. In 1946, a shot ofHenry Fondasitting on the porch of a local barbershop, leaning back on a chair as he looks upon the open vista is a minimalist example of Ford’s painterly visual language. This shot defines Ford’s remarkable film,My Darling Clementine, and the thesis ofone of the genre’s darkest turns....

The new season of Netflix’s anthology series of animated shorts,Love, Death and Robotsis fast approaching before its May 14 release date and, based on a new Red Band trailer, it isn’t messing around. Known simply as Volume 2, the show is already looking like it may have outdone itself after already setting a very high bar with its unique creative vision. Unlike the first trailer, this new look at the series offers a more full glimpse of the hyperviolent and generally NSFW aspects that made the first season of the animated series such an intriguing one....
