Only Fools Rush In… To Production Kathy Hutchins Set against the backdrop of a soulful acapella version of Presley’s “Suspicious Minds,” an immaculately-coiffed man — presumably Elvis — poses his way from the humble beginnings of a county fair to the set of a tv show (perhaps one of his early appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show”). It takes us all the way to him walking backstage with his closest circle of supporters in the iconic white jumpsuit, designed by Bill Belew, which would come to be associated with Elvis’ Las Vegas engagements of the early ’70s....

It’s a Bitter Disappointment MGM Let’s start with the bummer news — some folks had an immediate and passionate dislike for “No Time to Die,” including /Film writer and chief film critic Chris Evangelista: NO TIME TO DIE: The Craig era ends with a whimper. There’s no reason for this to be as long as it is, Rami Malek’s bad guy is a total snooze, and the movie itself just feels oddly inert....

By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 16, 2021 5:23 pm EST If it seems like every single new recasting for the character of Batman comes with its own amount of disproportionate outrage and backlash, well, that’s because it does. It’s easy to look back at Christian Bale or Ben Affleck now with the benefit of hindsight and talk about how obvious it was that they would imbue the superhero with all the physicality and screen presence necessary for the legendary hero, but that was certainly not the majority’s consensus opinion at the time....

The Best New Blu-Ray Releases: Candyman, Jungle Cruise, And More MGM By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 10, 2021 4:14 pm EST This column is called “the BEST new Blu-ray releases,” but I feel a little awkward using that title this week.

They have their own guilds and unions. IATSE is basically everyone else that works on a set, including cinematographers and the camera department, the costume department, grips, carpenters, and pretty much every other position on a movie set....

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Review: A Goofy Romantic Comedy Disguised As A Superhero Sequel Sony By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 30, 2021 9:00 am EST Any enjoyment derived from the first “Venom” felt like an accident.
