In a 4-3 ruling, the New York Court of Appeals has overturned former Hollywood producer and studio executive Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction for rape. The court found there was grounds to overturn Weinstein’s conviction on the grounds that the judge in his case had prejudiced the jury in allowing women to testify against him who alleged assaults by Weinstein that he was not on trial for at the time. The case will now be retried in New York. Judge Jenny Rivera wrote of the court’s decision “We reaffirm that no person accused of illegality may be judged on proof of uncharged crimes that serve...

Jerry Seinfeld makes his directorial debut in May with his new Netflix movie Unfrosted, a humorous look at the origin of the Pop-Tart. (“What’s the deal with Toaster Strudel? What is this, the Hasburg Empire?” etc.) If you don’t care about breakfast pastries, though, there are dozens of other movies, shows, and comedy specials to check on Netflix as well. The new season of Bridgerton debuts in May, along with a bunch of specials from the Netflix Is a Joke festival — including new shows from Katt Williams and John Mulaney. You can also watch new seasons of Selling the OC and Married at First Si...

The old saying goes “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” That is especially true in the world of movies. There isn’t a film out there that everyone universally loves or everyone universally hates. There are people who think The Godfather is overrated and people who think Gigli is a misunderstood classic. Cinematic beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder. For proof of that, check out the 30 films below. They are all personal favorites of mine that, according to the wider general consensus, were flops, bombs, and stinkers. Not to me! If you ask me, all of these titles deserve a seco...

Just a few months after the release of their latest film, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are looking to re-team again — this time on a biopic about the life of musician and actor Frank Sinatra. This would mark DiCaprio and Scorsese’s seventh movie together, following Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon. (Or their eighth if you also count the short film“The Audition.”) According to Variety, Scorsese intends to make this Sinatra movie after his next project, which is a film about the life of Jesus Christ. Di...

A lawsuit that threatened to hold movie studios accountable for the content of their trailers — especially the ones that weren’t especially accurate depictions of their subjects — has been settled. It all stemmed from the Danny Boyle movie Yesterday. The film imagines a world where a musician (Himesh Patel) gets into an accident and when he wakes up, he is the only one on the planet who remembers the Beatles. That allows him to present the Beatles’ classic songs as his own, and to become a huge star in the process. The trailers for Yesterday included a scene featuring Ana de Armas. When the fi...

Liam Neeson’s The Naked Gun has its leading lady: Pamela Anderson. It’s maybe an off-kilter pick, but it’s fitting for the franchise, a spoof of old cop movies and TV shows that began as the short-lived television series Police Squad! and then became the hit trilogy of films The Naked Gun. Leslie Nielsen played bumbling LA cop Frank Drebin in the show and the movies. According to The Hollywood Reporter, while “plot details [for the remake] are being locked away with other police files … it is known that Neeson is playing Drebin.” Anderson is the film’s main love interest. In the originalNaked ...

The next Transformers movie is launching its promotional campaign in an extremely literal way: The first trailer for the movie will supposedly debut in space. Truth be told, I do not fully understand what that means. (Hopefully I do not have to go to space to watch it; I specifically became a film critic because I was promised that this job meant I would never under any circumstances have to go into space.) But according to the press release, the upcoming Transformers One — an animated origin movie for the Transformers franchise — will “launch in space.” The show will begin online this Thursda...

Thor: Ragnarokand Thor: Love and Thunderwere both from the same director, Taika Waititi, and featured much of the same cast, including Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder. They both have very similar plot structures; they start with humorous recap monologues that lead to big fight scenes followed by a return to Asgard (or New Asgard), when a new villain with a personal beef with Thor is unleashed, then Thor heads to another planet where a comedic secondary villain tries to imprison him, leading to a big battle, an escape, and then an ending that involves Thor making a noble sacrifice to atta...

A remastered edition of the Beatles’ Let It Be film will stream on Disney+ on May 8. It’s the first time the film has been available in over 50 years. The new movie was restored by Peter Jackson’s team at Park Road Post Production and contains footage not featured in Jackson’s 2021 Get Back docuseries, which also streamed on Disney+. The original Let It Be film, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, was released on May 13, 1970, about a month after the Beatles had broken up and a week after the album of the same name arrived. “Peter Jackson seesLet It Be and his Get Back as companion pieces,” Hogg...
