HBO's “Rooster” is Almost an Endearing Comedy Despite strong performances, Bill Lawrence’s latest is too detached from reality for its own good.

Hello, I reviewed ROOSTER for @ebertvoices.bsky.social as part of women writers week, an opportunity that enabled me to ask the question: Did Steve Carell really have to fall on that young woman's boobs?

PEAKY BLINDERS: THE IMMORTAL MAN: Cillian Murphy captivates in this entertaining enough EL CAMINO-esque Netflix movie. Though often a bit clunky, it's great just to see Murphy light up the screen as Tommy Shelby for what may be the last time 📽️

there are (of course) over 2000 digital vfx shots! Every exterior ship shot (sorry to disappoint but we did not travel to space for this production) and plenty of set extensions indoors, and the in camera vix still require removing puppeteers adding arms etc. Half of Rocky's performance is cg animation with invention and character in every shot. While there were no green screens there was plenty of roto and grays and seamless work by digital artists!

First Christopher Miller clarifies, now Phil Lord. I am extremely grateful for them putting out this information.

Steve Carell sitting at a table in a fancy restaurant with a smile plastered on his face in a still from the HBO comedy series ROOSTER.

ROOSTER: Steve Carell elevates this safe though still sufficiently winning comedy greater than the sum of its parts. It's all rather mechanical, but he ensures that may just be your new favorite comfort watch. Still, could've used more Robby Hoffman 📺

Netflix’s Steamy Campus Sex Comedy ‘Vladimir’ Has Chemistry Between Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall, But Never Reaches a Climax: TV Review Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall have chemistry in the Netflix adaptation of Julia May Jonas' hit novel 'Vladimir', but the series never reaches climax.

VLADIMIR is a show about sex and aging and art and the gender dynamics of inspiration that mostly made me think “man, I LOVE DICK was underrated” variety.com/2026/tv/revi...

'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' Review: Cillian Murphy Captivates in Hit-and-Miss Netflix Film "Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man" sees Cillian Murphy power through a hit-and-miss Netflix sequel film to the BBC hit

Missteps aside, it builds to a really fantastic finale. While neither Tommy nor the film itself was ever likely to be immortal, the closing frames prove to be a fitting sendoff for him as well as his long, sad saga. The movie shines whenever he & Murphy burn bright 📽️

NEW: For @seattletimes.com, I spoke with filmmaker Kahlil Joseph about his dizzying, daring feature debut BLKNWS: TERMS & CONDITIONS. A film that it's in conversation with Jean-Luc Godard and Agnès Varda just as it is something all its own, it's a true must-see📽️

Seattle filmmaker makes his own ‘Blade Runner’ for his feature debut

“BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions,” the dizzying, daring feature directorial debut from Seattle-born Kahlil Joseph, defies easy explanation.

“The Bride!” Is All Exclamations but No Explanations Maggie Gyllenhaal’s imaginative adaptation of the Frankenstein story, starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, leaves its premise and its principles undeveloped.

The Bride! has such a good premise, built on a sound principle, with so many fascinating implications, that its failure to develop them is all the more disappointing: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Female Filmmakers in Focus: Grace Glowicki on "Dead Lover" An interview with the writer-director-star of this month's "Dead Lover."

"I’m not terribly interested in trying to create a perfect illusion of realism. I don’t find that super interesting as an actor or a filmmaker. It’s why I like Nicolas Cage."

For this month's column at @ebertvoices.bsky.social I spoke with filmmaker Grace Glowicki about her horror comedy DEAD LOVER

Aidan Zamiri’s THE MOMENT, the mockumentary but also not a mockumentary, about Charli XCX, music, & fame, is now available on VOD. Satirical yet also sincere, it's a deceptively fascinating work with a great finale. Finally, you can now be a 365 Party Girl from the comfort of your own home (IYKYK) 📽️

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*.

Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%.

(Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.)

Context:

Everyone is gonna have to do a farewell trip on the 28th to send it off. But yeah, definitely always a bummer.

Yeah, that's a fair point (though I guess we'll never know now if it would have done better elsewhere)

Wishing those folks the best, hope there are other theaters or arts orgs for them to find work at.

Posh Eastside movie theater known for waiter service and comfy seats to close Redmond's IPIC theater, which touted a 'premium' dine-in cinema experience, will close after its parent company filed for bankruptcy.

More bad news for Washington theaters: Redmond’s IPIC Theater is closing on April 28 and 64 employees will be laid off, according to a notification filed with the state of Washington late last week and posted Tuesday. Never went, but still a sad headline to see📽️

Review: 'My Undesirable Friends' puts us front row as a real-life Russian TV channel unravels Filmmaker Julia Loktev was in Moscow following her journalist friends as Russian forces invaded Ukraine. She captured a changing media climate for reporters.

Great news: MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART I — LAST AIR IN MOSCOW comes to MUBI on April 3. For a lot of people, this will finally be a chance to see 2025's best film.

To Kill a Wolf movie review & film summary (2025) | Roger Ebert In stripping down the Red Riding Hood fable to more terrestrial environs, "To Kill a Wolf" finds stronger, more nuanced ways to sell the simmering psychology of its original fable.

TO KILL A WOLF renders the Red Riding Hood tale as a grounded psychodrama with remarkable patience and craft; an elegant case study for folklore's capacity to speak across ages. Great cinematography, two surprising lead performances.
