Directed and co-written by four-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke, WILDCAT invites the audience to weave in and out of celebrated Southern Gothic writer Flannery O’Connor's mind as she ponders the great questions of her writing: Can scandalous art still serve God?

In 1950, Flannery (Maya Hawke) visits her mother Regina (Laura Linney) in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Struggling with the same disease…

In the dimly lit corridors of cinematic history, we find a recurring lightning bolt of creativity. From Mary Shelley's classic "Frankenstein" to its iconic film adaptations, the story has endured. It gave life to Boris Karloff's monster in 1931's "Frankenstein," breathed electric life into Elsa Lanchester's Bride in 1935's "Bride of Frankenstein," and sparked laughter in Mel Brooks' 1974 parody, "Young Frankenstein." These films are not just entertainment; they're sparks of inspiration and moral reflection, reminding us of the consequences…

Jerzy Skolimowski 2022

As early as the 1930s, certain theaters screened low-budget films at midnight, mainly as roadshow attractions. In the 1950s some local American television channels stuck genre films into late night slots in a move to enhance distribution of exploitation cinema, and which gave rise to the term “midnight movie”.

John Waters’ gloriously grotesque, unavailable-for-decades second feature comes to theaters at long last, replete with all manner of depravity, from robbery to murder to one of cinema’s most memorably blasphemous moments. Made on a shoestring budget in Baltimore, with Waters taking on nearly every technical task, this gleeful mockery of the peace-and-love ethos of its era features the Cavalcade of Perversion, a traveling show put on by a troupe of misfits whose shocking proclivities are topped only by those of their…

When Eddie Murphy became famous, it happened with the sureness and speed of one of his lightning standup routines. He was only 19 when he rang Saturday Night Live talent coordinator Neil Levy to plead for a slot on the TV show that has created more comedy superstars than any other. That was September 1980. A mere 20 months (about 1 and a half years) later, he would be shooting his first film, 48 Hrs., and sharing the lead with…

Purple Rain, the semi-autobiographical and prophetic story of a musician’s rise to superstardom, opened on July 27, 1984. One month later, Prince Roger Nelson became the first artist to ever have the top movie, album, and single at the same time. Dig if you will these purified facts about the musical 1980s cult classic.

Alfred Hitchcock, the maestro of cinema, left an indelible mark on the art of filmmaking with his unparalleled ability to craft suspenseful narratives. Despite being nominated five times for the prestigious Academy Award for Best Director, the genius behind some of the greatest films ever made never received the coveted statuette.

Most filmmakers take time to discover their artistic identity. But there are a few — like Jean-Luc Godard, Wong Kar Wai and Wes Anderson — who seem to have popped from the womb knowing exactly the kind of films they were born to make. Their vision is so distinctive that, from the very beginning, every frame of their work bears their signature.

Less a love story than a meditation on what-ifs, the film has propelled its debut director to a rarefied strata of acclaim – and away from her own past life.

The Ghost in the Shell franchise began as a Japanese manga series in the late 1980s, but it was the 1995 movie that built its international reputation. By positing a world in which people merge with machines, Ghost in the Shell examines what makes us fundamentally human.

Novelist and Filmmaker Rebecca Miller and Academy Award-winning Actress Marisa Tomei Mark the First Anniversary of The Beverly Theater

It’s been 45 years since "Dawn of the Dead" first graced the silver screen, and the film remains a wickedly fun piece of horror satire full of exploding heads, mischievous bikers, and one very dangerous helicopter.

Through this lens, Riddle of Fire explores how children manage living in fractured households by creating their own worlds, morals, and mythical friendships.

A look behind the scenes of the third Max Max film, Beyond Thunderdome, featuring George Miller, Mel Gibson, Tina Turner.

When you think about when you first heard the name “Quentin Tarantino” you probably think of “Pulp Fiction.” The 1994 film was a huge success and immensely influential. It’s not where it all started for Tarantino, though. Before “Pulp Fiction,” Tarantino made another film steeped in genre with “Reservoir Dogs.” Without “Reservoir Dogs,” we don’t get “Pulp Fiction,” which means we don’t get “Kill Bill,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” or whatever Quentin has left before his purported self-imposed…
