Here's our report by @emilyzemler.bsky.social from inside the room at the BAFTAs (including material that didn't make the BBC One telecast). www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Robert Duvall had too many wonderfully combustible performances to count, but we somehow managed to get it down to an essential 10. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

CRIME 101, welcome to the “Dumb Heat” canon. My review in @latimes.com www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

You loved our 101 best L.A. movies list — and hundreds of you had no problem telling us what we forgot to include. Here are your 14 top picks for the movies we left off. (Consider us repentant about "American Gigolo," but no quarter given on "Crash.") www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

More Emerson Lake & Palmer in movie trailers, please.

It's a good weekend for going to the movies. Here's a taste (🧵). First, @emilyzemler.bsky.social spoke with Alexander Skarsgård about his turn in PILLION, an achingly romantic love story that happens to be about a BDSM couple. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I’m hesitant to call MELANIA propaganda because I can’t imagine anyone watching this movie and thinking that Melania Trump comes off well. If it had subversive designs of being a satire about the first lady, there’s not much it would have changed. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Saying goodbye to Park City, @theamynicholson.bsky.social @indiefocus.bsky.social and I reflect on years of Sundance memories — along with our 9 favorites from this year’s lineup. I love how personal this turned out. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Like Brat summer, the Park City winter era is ending. But before it does, it still want to scrap over the value of art with movies about Charli XCX, Wu-Tang Clan, killer unicorns, Gregg Araki sex comedies, and former Sundance-hater John Wilson. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

What to watch today at Sundance? Our first taste of recommendations and reactions is here, including quick notes on JOSEPHINE, THE MOMENT, BUDDY and THE DISCIPLE. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

And don't sleep on this killer essay by @theamynicholson.bsky.social about what makes an L.A. movie — with a fun illustration of its own! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The @latimes.com list of the 101 best Los Angeles movies is a thing of beauty. Hats off and many thanks to @joshuarothkopf.bsky.social; delighted to have cast a ballot, and excited to read so many wonderful colleagues on so many wonderful films: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I can't believe this is finally out in the world. It's the work of many people: 17 contributors who really know the city, 101 write-ups, beautiful photo sourcing and illustrations, smart design. My thanks to everyone involved. Tell us what we missed. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

@theamynicholson.bsky.social going granular on a trashy horror movie is a beautiful thing. (Meanwhile, MONKEY SEE, MONKEY KILL was right there, title people.) www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I feel lucky to have worked and learned from @evincentelli.bsky.social — here she is, handling the trickiest subject on A1 without flinching. In a real way, EV taught me how to write. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/a...

There are so many good ones this year but here are 12 needle drops to get you started on your own playlist. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Unlike my other teenage favorites (John Hughes, James Cameron, Carpenter, etc.), I couldn't tell you what a "Rob Reiner film" was. That was the point. @theamynicholson.bsky.social gets at this idea beautifully. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

If you don’t subscribe to Vulture, this is the reason to do so: an oral history that only @bilgeebiri.bsky.social would think to do, one that’s shocking with each new story, pitched at the moment right before crazy CGI made everything boring. The “green salve” indeed. www.vulture.com/article/how-...

So many of my favorite Safdie moments are shaped and italicized by Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), a musician who's singlehandedly bringing back the era of synth wizards. His work for MARTY SUPREME is the main character. It was a pleasure discussing his art. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

We will be giving a Special Citation to Judy Kim of Gardena Cinema, a historic 800-seat, single-screen movie palace that has operated as an independent cinema and beacon of community since the Kim family took ownership in 1976. #LAFCA
