3 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...

1 week ago Impossibly frustrating: why Mission: Impossible 8 was a major letdown

Audiences may have flocked to the Final Reckoning but Tom Cruise’s latest mission ends up being incredibly underwhelmingIf the title is sincere, and this really is the final reckoning, then it’s been a franchise of two halves. Mission: Impossible diehards tend to underrate the first half (which ran from Brian De Palma’s brisk 1996 original to 2011’s fun Ghost Protocol) as much as they overrate the second (which launched with 2015’s Rogue Nation). Yet the rumbles and grumbles emanating from public screenings suggests a disgruntled consensus is forming around the concluding instalment: that this is an altogether disjointed way to resolve the affairs of Ethan Hunt and his IMF crew, and a shaky way to ignite the movie summer season. Ninety minutes in which nothing happens over and over again, followed by 70 minutes of M:I B-roll.To better diagnose this latest glitch in the Hollywood machine, we need to return to the relighting of the fuse. This was the franchise to which Tom Cruise retr...
