We're in a full-blown "Karate Kid" renaissance era. The franchise that started with "The Karate Kid" in 1984 not only got three sequels and later a remake in 2010, but it spawned the series "Cobra Kai," which began on YouTube and ended up on Netflix. The first film was the story of young Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio), who just moved with his mom to Los Angeles from the East Coast. He gets bullied by Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), a student at the Cobra Kai karate dojo, and meets a mentor in Mr. Miyagi (the late Pat Morita), who teaches him how to defend himself.
"Cobra Kai" not only gave audiences a chance to see what happened to Lawrence and Larusso later in life, but it brought back characters from the first three films. It's been a huge hit with fans, who remember the first film with tremendous amounts of love. Now Macchio...

US filmmaker Tim Burton will be feted with France’s prestigious Lumière Award at the 14th edition of the classic film-focused Lumière Festival in Lyon, running October 15-23.
He follows in the footsteps of previous honorees Jane Campion (2021), Francis Ford Coppola (2019), Wong Kar-wai (2017), Catherine Deneuve (2016), Pedro Almodóvar and Quentin Tarantino (2013).
“This fall, Lumière 2022 will offer a dive into a wonderland – somewhere between Americana and its legends, Victorian England, futuristic megalopolises and neighbourhoods of suburbia – in the company of the heroes, monsters, monstrous heroes or heroic monsters of Tim Burton’s world,” said the festival in a release.
The festival paid tribute to the many highlights of Burton’s 40-year filmmaking career from early hits Beetlejuice (1988) and Edward Scissorhands (1990), to quirky works playing with mainstream sci-fi comedy and musical genres such as Mars Attacks! (1996), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Dark Shadows (2012), Sleepy Hollow (1999), and major box office...

Clint Eastwood had some very special people supporting him on Monday night at the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie, The Mule.
Joining the 88-year-old Oscar winner at the event was daughter Alison Eastwood, 46, and her husband Stacy Poitras, 51; sons Scott Eastwood, 32, and Kyle Eastwood, 50 (with his wife Cynthia Ramirez); granddaughter Graylen Eastwood, 24; first wife Maggie Johnson, 87; and girlfriend Christina Sandera, 55.
All were smiles as they posed for photographers at the Regency Village Theatre.

The Eastwood family just got a little bit bigger! Clint Eastwood's 25-year-old daughter Francesca Eastwood reportedly gave birth to a baby boy named Titan Wraith Eastwood earlier this month, E! News revealed on Monday, Sept. 24. The arrival of baby Titan has also made Clint, 88, a grandfather for the third time. Francesca previously revealed she was pregnant with her first child on Tuesday, May 22 while on-stage with her famous mom, Frances Fisher, 66, at the 2018 Environmental Media Association Awards in La. As Francesca showed off her growing baby bump, Frances reportedly exclaimed, "I’m so excited. I’m gonna be a grandma!" (Photo Credit: Getty Images) One day before the Hollywood event, Francesca's younger sister Morgan Eastwood, 21, also shared a photo of her expectant sibling's belly on her Instagram Story while the two were enjoying a day out at Disneyland. Baby Titan is Francesca's first child with her 34-year-old boyfriend Alexander Wraith,...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
The Bad Batch (Ana Lily Amirpour)
Ana Lily Amirpour’s second feature shoots for Harmony Korine meets Mad Max and would have nearly almost hit the mark were it not for the gratingly aloof attitude and the swaths of directorial license being taken. The Bad Batch — an ambitious, expansive dystopian sci-fi western which features partying, drugs, and cannibals — might come as music to the ears of diehard fans of films like Spring Breakers and Gummo (a kid doesn’t quite eat spaghetti in a bathtub, but a kid does eat spaghetti after being in a bathtub). However, beneath its dazzlingly hip surface the script and characters leave much to be desired. It’s like taking a trip to Burning Man: a pseudo-spiritual, uniquely punky experience perhaps, but one that’s full of annoying rich kids and ultimately emotionally shallow. – Rory O. (full review)
Where to Stream: Amazon, iTunes
Kong: Skull Island (Jordan Vogt-Roberts)
Though it may not feel fully inspired so much as competently pre-visualized, Kong: Skull Island fits snugly into the growing canon of reboots that exist within ever-expanding movie universes. That’s a first sentence to a positive review that perhaps reads a bit more cynically than intended. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and written by a bunch of dudes (Dan Gilroy and Max Borenstein and Derek Connolly with a story credited to John Gatins), this umpteenth version of the King Kong story pulls from every available pop-culture source in building a fun creature feature. Much of the credit goes to the breathtaking effects and brisk pace, which distract from some lofty line readings and silly plot devices. – Dan M. (full review)
Where to Stream: Amazon, iTunes, Google
Le Trou (Jacques Becker)
One of the greatest prison escape dramas of all-time, Jacques Becker’s recently-restored Le Trou is a masterclass in tension. By putting us both in the physical and psychological headspace of our protagonists, it’s an enveloping experience as we see a number of close calls, leading up to one of the most unforgettable endings in cinema. – Jordan r.
Where to Stream: Mubi (free 30-day trial)
Moana (John Musker and Ron Clements)
It’s time for another Disney Princess movie, and you know how it goes. Disney knows too, and wants you to know that it knows. When the title character of Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) denies that she’s a princess, claiming that she’s merely the daughter of her island’s chief and the next chieftain, her adventuring partner Maui (Dwayne Johnson) asserts, “Same difference,” and that, “You wear a dress and have an animal sidekick. You’re a princess.” But Disney is doing its best to make the culture rethink cinematic fantasy princesses, countering the stereotypes of helpless femininity (which the studio largely put in place) with a new roster of highly capable action heroines. And Moana is, as they call it, a good role model. And the movie around her is fine. – Dan S. (full review)
Where to Stream: Netflix
Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press (Brian Knappenberger)
Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press uses a salacious story and website as the launching pad to discuss where we currently are, so much so that I imagine director Brian Knappenberger — who uses footage from President Trump’s infamous press conference only a few days before the film’s Sundance premiere — may wish to stay on the story. Gawker, a site spun out of Gizmodo, was founded to share the types of stories mainstream news outlets would often shy away from, including celebrity sex tapes, outings, drug use, and allegations that have swirled but not picked up traction. They’ve featured Rob Ford smoking crack, Bill Cosby’s multiple accusers, Hillary Clinton’s emails, Tom Cruise’s prominent role in Scientology, and the one that brought them down: the infamous Hulk Hogan sex tape recorded for private use by Hogan pal and infamous Tampa shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, best known nationally for his stint on Howard Stern’s satellite channel. Bubba’s antics will no doubt some day be the subject of a documentary of their own, from his role in both the Hogan affair to his odd appearance in the David Petraeus saga. – John F. (full review)
Where to Stream: Netflix
Paterson (Jim Jarmusch)
Jim Jarmusch proved he was back in a major way with Only Lovers Left Alive a few years ago, and the streak continues with Paterson, a calm, introspective drama with such positive views on marriage and creativity that I was left floored. In following the cyclical life of Adam Driver‘s Paterson, a bus driver in Paterson, New Jersey, who also has dreams of being a poet, Jarmusch superbly shows that one’s own life experience — however seemingly insubstantial — is the only requirement to produce something beautiful. Moreso than any other film in 2016, this is the kind of world I want to live in. – Jordan R.
Where to Stream: Amazon Prime
Star Trek Beyond (Justin Lin)
After the pleasant fluff of its kick-off installment and the frog march of unpleasantness that was Into Darkness, the rebooted Star Trek film series finally hits a fun median between big-budget bombast and classic Trek bigheartedness with Star Trek Beyond. Does the franchise’s full descent into action, with only the barest lip service paid to big ideas, cause Gene Roddenberry’s ashes to spin in their space capsule? Probably, but in the barren desert of summer 2016 blockbusters, this is a lovely oasis. – Dan S. (full review)
Where to Stream: Amazon Prime
Summer Hours (Olivier Assayas)
Perhaps a point of contention on New York Times’ top 25 films of the 21st century list, Olivier Assayas’ Summer Hours is a commendable top 10 pick. Led by Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, Jérémie Renier, and Kyle Eastwood, this drama follows a family reuniting following the death of their mother. Like the best of Assayas’ films, it’s an impeccably-crafted, subtly-moving experience, one that wades in the ideas of the value of what we hold on to and a graceful reflection on the passage of time. – Jordan R.
Where to Stream: FilmStruck
Wilson (Craig Johnson)
The world of Daniel Clowes is one without manners, glamour, and tact, but it is also one of uncomfortable truth, as scathing as it might be. One may have never verbally conveyed the discourteous musings of his characters to the extent to which it is their everyday vernacular, but we’ve all had similar thoughts when life isn’t going our way. The latest adaptation of his work comes with Wilson, directed by Craig Johnson (The Skeleton Twins), featuring a role Woody Harrelson is clearly having the time of his life with. Despite his commitment to a lack of civility, there’s a darker film lying in the cynical heart of Wilson, one that gets squandered by its mawkish aesthetic and lack of interest in exploring these characters beyond their crudeness. – Jordan R. (full review)
Where to Stream: Amazon, iTunes, Google
The Zookeeper’s Wife (Niki Caro)
The Zookeeper’s Wife begins with those five famous words that hold the power to either become a film’s dependency (and therefore downfall) or its empowering catalyst, laying the foundation to convey a poignant tale: “Based on a true story.” Fortunately, The Zookeeper’s Wife sticks with the latter, and the true tale being told is one for the ages. Niki Caro‘s drama follows a couple who hide Jews in their zoo and use it as a point of passage and escape during the Nazi takeover of Warsaw. The narrative is a simple one, allowing The Zookeeper’s Wife to shine in its performances, imagery, and storytelling, which it pristinely accomplishes. – Chelsey G. (full review)

The bride wore a 1930s-inspired beaded gown by Les Habitudes at the Friday night nuptials at the Saddlepeak Lodge before family and friends. The couple's rings were designed by Philip Press. "We are thrilled to be surrounded by our family for this very special day and appreciate their love and support as we begin our married life together," the couple tell People exclusively.

In an exclusive interview in Cinema Retro issue #20, musician and composer Kyle Eastwood said that his legendary father Clint had never told him that he would never act again, even though the Hollywood rumor mill said this was the case. Looks like Eastwood pere is thisclose to returning to the silver screen with a film called Trouble With the Curve. He would play an aging baseball scout who is losing his sight. Sources say Eastwood views this as an ideal directing debut for his Malpaso Productions partner Robert Lorenz. For more click here...

As Clint's boy, Kyle Eastwood has some big shoes to fill – but when it comes to jazz he is very much his own man
When Kyle Eastwood was eight, his dad took him to the Monterey jazz festival, near their California home. It was an attempt to pass on his own love of jazz, and it worked. Kyle was so in awe of the musicians he saw – Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, the Count Basie Big Band – that he decided he wanted to learn the piano.
And so his dad obliged. In fact, he began to teach Kyle himself. He was, after all, an accomplished pianist who once considered becoming a jazz musician, although it's hard to believe that today, as arguably the world's best-loved actor and director, Clint has many regrets. And, as the son of Clint, Kyle didn't just get to watch the Monterey musicians – he got to meet them,...
When Kyle Eastwood was eight, his dad took him to the Monterey jazz festival, near their California home. It was an attempt to pass on his own love of jazz, and it worked. Kyle was so in awe of the musicians he saw – Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, the Count Basie Big Band – that he decided he wanted to learn the piano.
And so his dad obliged. In fact, he began to teach Kyle himself. He was, after all, an accomplished pianist who once considered becoming a jazz musician, although it's hard to believe that today, as arguably the world's best-loved actor and director, Clint has many regrets. And, as the son of Clint, Kyle didn't just get to watch the Monterey musicians – he got to meet them,...

Kyle Eastwood and his UK band are touring with this simple, soul-and-Latin-jazzy mix of handy hooks for the hard-boppish hornblowing of Graeme Flowers and saxist Graeme Blevins that sometimes mirrors the economical and unhurried delivery of Kyle's father, Clint. Eastwood Jr, a jazz lover from childhood and a workmanlike bassist on upright and guitar, has branched out from the blend of jazz and dance-groove technology that made his Candid debut Paris Blue an uneasy mix, opting instead for a hard bop and 70s soul-jazz repertoire. It won't stun the cognoscenti, but it's played with honesty and quiet relish, and though some tunes lack muscle, others exert a deceptive charm. A soulful, smoky-sax opener launches fiery solos from both Graemes; Blevins gets into Sonny Rollins territory on Cafe Calypso; and the smouldering Andalucia unsurprisingly has Sketches of Spain hints. The soul-funky finale Down at Ronnie's fires a blazing trumpet/sax exchange,...

Welcome to another Western Wednesdays. Today is the very special installment that I promised last week in which I would reveal my favorite Western, the one that not even The Searchers can dethrone. Yes, my love belongs unreservedly to The Outlaw Josey Wales.
As popular legend goes, Clint Eastwood wasn’t respected as a director until Unforgiven. A hard look at his directorial credits through the 1970s and 1980s can speak as to why. But I believe The Outlaw Josey Wales was a really notable moment of his career, and it’s perplexing why he didn’t enjoy the kind of watershed approval he did in 1993.
I imagine it’s because he promptly went and made The Gauntlet. Sadly, Josey Wales kicked off a very dark period of his career that it’s polite to ignore, and if you know your tabloid romances, you know why. But would it have...

Invictus isn’t a word I’d ever heard before and until watching the movie, I had no idea what it was or meant. Well, let me tell you! Invictus is a poem written by William Ernest Henley (1849–1903) which becomes the backbone for reuniting a country when it was on the brink of collapse. Borrowing the poem’s name Clint Eastwood’s new movie takes us through that journey about how a man who was a prisoner becomes the president of his country to lead and unite it in a way that no one thought possible.
Invictus the movie is based on the book by John Carlin (Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation) and stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and the movie begins with stock news bulletins from the 90s which show him being released from prison, and then moving on to showing...

Clint Eastwood’s son Kyle, a well-respected jazz musician in his own right, has collaborated with Michael Stevens to produce a terrific score for Invictus. However, ‘Dad’ lends a hand, and the opening song ‘9,000 Day’s was written by Eastwood Sr along with Stevens and even has lyrics by Dina Eastwood (Clint’s wife) – talk about keeping it in the family! The result is a highly impressive CD soundtrack release. This is a magnificent score, and unlike Eastwood’s previous forays on Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Changeling and Gran Torino - which were dramatic, dark and moody - this music, like the film itself, is really uplifting. There are several songs in the film, all performed by Overtone a South African acapella band that was discovered by Dina Eastwood, who saw them in a show in...

Nelson Mandela: “How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do? How do we inspire those around us?”
Matt Damon: “…I think he wants us to win the World Cup.”
At last, a film arrives to prove that rugby is the key to socio-political harmony.
Clint Eastwood has had an awful lot of critical acclaim recently for a body of directorial work that is a mixed bag at best, and drowning in sentimentality. The mewling melodramatic yukkishness of Million Dollar Baby, the unengaging if well spirited Flags Of Our Fathers, the it’s-subtitled-therefore-meaningful Letters From Iwo Jima (which wasn’t that bad, but certainly wasn’t that good), and the enjoyable cranky vigilantism of Gran Torino. Now we’ve got Invictus, which is essentially Goal, but with two A-listers, a different shaped ball, and Nelson Mandela.

I've been a busy movie warrior lately! Cramming for our deadline to vote for the Critics' Choice Awards (deadline -- Dec. 11th, Yikes!), I've been watching movies non-stop!
So without further adieu, here are my quick mini-movie reviews for "The Lovely Bones," "Invictus," "Nine," and "It's Complicated." I will post my full reviews for each film soon, but for now, here's the shorter, leaner version.
"The Lovely Bones"
Based on the popular novel by Alice Sebold, "The Lovely Bones" tells the story of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), a 14-year old who is raped and murdered and must protect and look after her family from the afterlife.
Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings" films) teamed up with his perennial writing partners, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyen, to adapt the touching and heartfelt text.

"Slumdog Millionaire" isn't finished with its awards collection. Having won many prestigious awards including eight Oscars and four Golden Globes, the Danny Boyle-directed movie is now up for more kudos as World Soundtrack Academy announced on Tuesday, August 18, that it is among the nominees for the 9th World Soundtrack Awards.
From the awards which recognizes art of film music, the rag-to-riches drama collects three nods for composer A. R. Rahman. One is for the category of Best Original Score of the Year in which it will compete with "Burn After Reading" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" among others. The other two are for a single category, that is Best Original Song Written Directly for a Film.
While it collects the most number of nods for the awards held annually in Ghent, Belgium, "Slumdog" misses out on placing A. R. Rahman on the list of Film Composer of the Year.

Edinburgh International Film Festival
EDINBURGH, Scotland -- French filmmaker Olivier Assayas' film "Summer Hours" was commissioned to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. Its depth of character, therefore, comes as something of a surprise.
He has chosen to weave the museum's goal of preserving the best of French art into the transition of one family's home and heirlooms from one generation to the next, and both his screenplay and direction make the most of the notion.
It's not hugely dramatic but it does feel real and with beautiful settings and an ensemble cast of big French names topped by Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche, the film will find a warm reception from art-house audiences.
Binoche, Charles Berling and Jeremie Renier play siblings celebrating the 75th birthday of their mother, Helene (Edith Scob), at her lovely family home in the country. The place is filled with memories and impressive artifacts collected by their great uncle, who was a renowned artist.
Aware of her responsibility as the caretaker of some precious works, Helene impresses the reluctant but dutiful Frederic (Berling) of the need to make the necessary arrangements for their safe disposal upon her death. When that comes unexpectedly soon, Frederic finds himself bearing the weight of responsibility with Adrienne (Binoche) now living in New York and Jeremie (Renier) in Shanghai.
Assayas draws finely measured performances from his cast as they discuss what to do, and he encourages cinematographer Eric Gautier to observe their small moments of familial intimacy. He gives one of his characters an intriguing romantic mystery while capturing the nostalgia of the family home and lingering on its nooks, crannies and hideaways.
Assayas makes the point that objects of fascination and affection to one generation may be far less so to the next and he observes the role that people-friendly museums can play in keeping a nation's treasures safe with pleasing subtlety.
Production: MK2 Productions, Canal Plus, Region Ile-de-France. Cast: Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, Jeremie Renier, Edith Scob, Dominique Raymond, Valerie Bonneton, Isabelle Sadoyan, Kyle Eastwood, Alice de Lencquesaing, Emile Berling, Jean-Baptiste Malartre.

Binoche, Charles Berling and Jeremie Renier play siblings celebrating the 75th birthday of their mother, Helene (Edith Scob), at her lovely family home in the country. The place is filled with memories and impressive artifacts collected by their great uncle, who was a renowned artist.
Aware of her responsibility as the caretaker of some precious works, Helene impresses the reluctant but dutiful Frederic (Berling) of the need to make the necessary arrangements for their safe disposal upon her death. When that comes unexpectedly soon, Frederic finds himself bearing the weight of responsibility with Adrienne (Binoche) now living in New York and Jeremie (Renier) in Shanghai.
Assayas draws finely measured performances from his cast as they discuss what to do, and he encourages cinematographer Eric Gautier to observe their small moments of familial intimacy. He gives one of his characters an intriguing romantic mystery while capturing the nostalgia of the family home and lingering on its nooks, crannies and hideaways.
Assayas makes the point that objects of fascination and affection to one generation may be far less so to the next and he observes the role that people-friendly museums can play in keeping a nation's treasures safe with pleasing subtlety.

This review was written for the festival screening of Rails & Ties."
TELLURIDE, Colo. -- A tell-tale first feature by actress Alison Eastwood, "Rails & Ties" is a heartfelt but dramatically flat portrait of a couple grappling with one tragedy whose lives are profoundly affected by the outcome of another.
While nicely performed by Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden, with lovely cinematography by her father's favorite lensman, Tom Stern, the wispy picture chugs along earnestly without achieving the necessary emotional momentum that would bring it to a convincingly affecting destination.
After premiering at the Telluride Film Festival, the Warner Bros. Pictures release will be making further festival stops at Toronto and New York, where it will need to generate a little buzz if it has hopes of standing out among the fall season's serious-minded fare when it opens in limited engagements Oct. 26.
Bacon's Tom Stark is a fittingly named, emotionally detached career train engineer who's having difficulties coming to terms with the bleak prognosis that has just been given to his wife, Megan (Harden).
A breast cancer survivor, Megan Has been informed that the disease has metastasized to her bones, giving her mere months, weeks or even days to live.
Tom's way of coping has been to continue to immerse himself in his work, but when his train hits the car of a suicidal mother (Bonnie Root) and her young son (Miles Heizer), their remaining time together takes some unexpected turns.
Working from Micky Levy's one-dimensional script, Eastwood delicately lays down all the emotional track, as it were, but there's an overriding sameness to every scene. Even when that spark of hope comes into their lives, the film barely deviates from its hazily melancholic tone.
For their part, Harden and Bacon deliver understated if overly introspective performances. Although effectively occupying the personal spaces of their characters, when the turn of events call for deeper interaction, neither the script nor the direction gives them sufficient opportunity to do so.
On the opposite side of the camera, cinematographer Stern counterpoints the sadness with plenty of bright Southern California sunshine and quietly probing close-ups.
Unfortunately, the gentle acoustic score by Kyle Eastwood and Michael Stevens doesn't help much when it comes to lifting "Rails & Ties" out of that prevailing malaise.
