I profiled Brazilian star Wagner Moura for LA Times. With input from directors Kleber Mendonça Filho and José Padilha. We talked THE SECRET AGENT, his predilection for politically charged roles, and being himself even if Hollywood wants to change him: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

THE SECRET AGENT opens in NY today. It’s a masterful feat of storytelling about the past speaking to the present in more ways than one. Here’s my review for @theplaylist.bsky.social and I have another piece coming next week for the LA release: theplaylist.net/the-secret-a...

Beloved in Latin America, 31 MINUTOS, Chile’s answer to The Muppets and Sesame Street, is a musical puppet show that parodies a newscast. They recently did a Tiny Desk concert and they have a new Prime Video special. For LA Times, I interviewed the creators: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Now that I’ve seen most animated films, included major releases, these are the 4 I think are the best/my favorites:
-LITTLE AMÉLIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN 🇫🇷
-BOYS GO TO JUPITER 🇺🇸
-ELIO 🇺🇸
-ARCO 🇫🇷
I interviewed Amy Madigan for the LA Times about playing Aunt Gladys.
“She is just a girl trying to get through life,” Madigan said about the WEAPONS villainess who’s quickly become a horror icon and might earn her a second Oscar nomination: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

50 years ago, “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You” debuted on Chicago pubic access TV, starring Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert. The rest, as they say, is history. #SiskelAndEbert

Jafar Panahi! Last night I had the great honor of moderating a Q&A at the DGA with the courageous master Iranian filmmaker about his Palme d’Or winning stunner IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT. Thank you to the incredible interpreter Sheida Dayani for facilitating our conversation.

Angel’s Egg, Chainsaw Man & The Boy and the Heron, all playing in cinemas nationwide. 10 years ago this would’ve been unbelievable. Anime fandom in the USA has truly exploded.

For LA Times, I interviewed the directors of LITTLE AMÉLIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN, my favorite animated film of the year, about a Belgian girl in Japan who thinks she is God. A joy to hear from directors Mailys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han about this triumph: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
