7 d. ago The good, the bad and the ugly: Clint Eastwood’s interview debacle reveals bleak truths about film journalism

An Austrian newspaper ran an interview with the cinema legend which he denied ever giving. What actually happens in the world of movie reporting can be yet more murkyIt is no surprise that Austrian newspaper Kurier’s Clint Eastwood interview went viral over the weekend. An audience with a 95-year-old film legend containing stern words about the current state of cinema was always going to go like a rocket. Particularly during cinema’s dregs season: the thin period post Cannes and pre the summer proper, with Mission: Impossible fever fading fast and Lilo & Stitch ruling the box office – a success from which only so many stories can be spun.Further evidence of this thinness comes from a quick scan of the news stories run over the past week in some of the trade magazines – Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Screen International – who must keep producing them, regardless of actual material. These include a write-off of an interview in which Michael Cera says he didn’t think Jacki...

2 w. ago ‘I should really be the world champion’: Ralph Macchio on kicking it as The Karate Kid for 41 years

After putting Cobra Kai to bed after six seasons, the actor is teaming up with Jackie Chan in Karate Kid: Legends‘Sorry to ask such a personal question,” I say to Ralph Macchio, who at 63 we can no longer call The Karate Kid. Let’s go with karate man. He’s in the basement of his house in Los Angeles. “My daughter’s working upstairs, my son’s working, I’ve been relegated to the dungeon,” he says. I continue: “So exactly how good are you at karate?”Forty-one years since he first became Daniel LaRusso, Macchio is back in the role for Karate Kid: Legends. In this fictive universe, it’s three years since the end of Netflix series Cobra Kai and LaRusso has settled into his gardening gloves and embraced the spirit of his own mentor, Mr Miyagi, whose graceful, defensive karate style, Miyagi-Do, was all about never looking for a fight. Jackie Chan (reprising the role of Mr Han from the 2010 reboot The Karate Kid) comes to beg of him one more job. Continue reading...

3 w. ago The Phoenician Scheme review: Mia Threapleton shines in Wes Anderson’s muted new confection

Benicio Del Toro and Michael Cera are essentially wingmen to Kate Winslet’s daughter, making a breakthrough big screen turn in Anderson’s enjoyable yet airless ensemble rompWes Anderson has contrived another of his elegant, eccentric, rectilinear comedies - as ever, he is vulnerable to the charge of making films that stylistically resemble all his others, and yet no more, surely, than all those other directors making conventional films that resemble all the rest of their own conventional work. The Phoenician Scheme is enjoyable and executed with Anderson’s usual tremendous despatch, but it is somehow less visually detailed and inspired than some of his earlier work; there is less screwball sympathy for the characters, and it is disconcerting to see actors of the calibre of Tom Hanks, Willem Dafoe and Scarlett Johansson phoning in tiny, deadpan, almost immobile cameos. But there is a likeable lead turn from Mia Threapleton, an eerie visual and aural echo of her mother, Kate Winslet. ...
