‘Louder! I Can’t Hear What You’re Singin’, Wimp!’ Is As Wild As Its Title [Fantasia Film Festival] By Matt Donato/July 30, 2018 3:00 pm EST Somewhere between Aggretsuko, A Star Is Born and Benny Hill shenanigans exists Satoshi Miki’s Louder! I Can’t Hear What You’re Singin’, Wimp!. An utterly delightful blend of headbanger rambunctiousness and proper coming-of-self sweetness.

‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ Review: Our Greatest Action Franchise Reaches New Heights By Karen Han/July 12, 2018 2:00 pm EST About halfway through Mission: Impossible – Fallout, I found myself thinking that I’d happily watch Tom Cruise run for the film’s entire duration. In fairness, that’s pretty much what he does as he reprises the role of Ethan Hunt, but I mean it literally. Tom Cruise runs with the kind of mania that means it’s unsurprising he broke his ankle leaping from building to building while filming Fallout — and then kept running in order to save the take — or that he actually jumped out of a plane at 25,000 feet for another sequence in the movie....

‘The Hunger Games’ Review: Exciting, Emotional And Epic By Germain Lussier/March 16, 2012 2:00 pm EST When Lionsgate began the task of adapting The Hunger Games for the screen, the odds were never in its favor. The book was too violent, too well-known and too hard to translate because not only was it about kids killing each other, it would also have to create a whole new world. I’m happy to report that director/co-writer Gary Ross has made the impossible possible....

Iannucci pitched a Donald Trump movie idea on the social media platform earlier this week, and a new report says that eight studios are already interested in turning his idea from a tweet into an actual film....
