If you've seen DISCLOSURE DAY, you've noticed Courtney Grace, who, as a news anchor, carries the climax almost wordlessly and delivers a knockout turn. Our @davidviramontes.bsky.social spoke to her about the shoot. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Rush, now with with monster drummer Anika Nilles, killed last night at the Forum in a show that marks a new phase for them. Here's everything that happened: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Threats from another world? Or “vaguely benevolent interstellar therapists trying to help humanity get its act together”? Our staffers have thoughts. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
"When lens flares continually beam right at the screen, the whole movie feels like enlightenment under duress."
@theamynicholson.bsky.social on fire with this one. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
EDDINGTON is the most blackly funny American satire in a decade. Come hear me speak with Ari Aster after the @amcinematheque.bsky.social Bleak Week screening on Friday night. www.americancinematheque.com/series/ari-a...
Make room in an already stellar year of horror debuts for Sundance breakout LEVITICUS, which nails a tricky tone and lingers long after. @jenyamato.bsky.social has the story. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
These are excellent picks, especially Killer Films. Such a huge impact on the indie world. Much cooler than the Oscars usually get. Deepest congrats to Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Lovely reminiscence by our Glenn Whipp about how the TOY STORY movies take root. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Romania's Cristian Mungiu now joins an extremely exclusive group of two-time Palme winners — a club of only 10. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Her name is Courtney Grace and she carries Steven Spielberg's sci-fi thriller to its emotional climax. She discussed her experience working on the film.

DISCLOSURE DAY works best as someone’s desperate fantasy to recreate the monoculture, made by an artist who used to define it. (The villain clearly prefers one-to-one streaming.) The ending is basically Spielberg begging us to rewatch E.T. He believes in movies more than aliens.
