‘Werewolves Within’: Josh Ruben’s Campy Horror Whodunnit Doesn’t Pack Much Satirical Bite [Tribeca Review]

Quentin Tarantino for his recent criticism of her late father.In an open letter penned for The Hollywood Reporter, Lee said she is “tired of hearing from white men in Hollywood that [Bruce Lee] was arrogant and an asshole”.The letter has been shared in response to comments Tarantino made on The Joe Rogan Experience last week (June 29).During his recorded appearance, Tarantino defended his portrayal of Lee in Once A Time In Hollywood. Lee (played by Mike Moh) features in a single scene in the

Chris Willman Music Writer“A love letter to cinema” was the tired-but-true trope that everyone trotted out when Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” the movie, hit theaters two years ago. But it’s now clear just how insufficient a mere mash note to the movies was for Tarantino.

Quentin Tarantino has defended his portrayal of Bruce Lee in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.“I can understand his daughter having a problem with it. It’s her fucking father.

Once Upon A Time … in Hollywood” — by telling critics to “suck” it. The “Pulp Fiction” director dropped the bombshell during an appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience” Tuesday.“Where I’m coming from is … I can understand his daughter having a problem with it, it’s her f–king father!” the 58-year-old auteur told Rogan.

Tomris Laffly More concerned with paying homage to ’90s-era Quentin Tarantino than telling a contemporary coming-of-age tale with believable stakes, co-helmers Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp’s debut feature “First Date” saddles a young couple not with a romantic night out, but with a haphazard all-nighter crime-comedy that’s mostly unfunny and free of convincing suspense.

Antonio Ferme editorSince the release of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” director Quentin Tarantino has been outspoken about his depiction of Bruce Lee (portrayed by Mike Moh) as an arrogant figure. The portrayal has received blowback from Lee’s fans and his daughter, Shannon Lee, as being inaccurate.While promoting the novelization of his 2019 film on the Joe Rogan Podcast, Tarantino said, “I can understand his daughter having a problem with it.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has had fans debating whether Brad Pitt's character Cliff killed his wife Billie Booth (played by Rebecca Gayheart) ever since the film released in 2019. While some might like the ambiguity and coming to your own conclusion, Quentin Tarantino has decided to reveal exactly what went down on that boat in the film's official novelisation, which has been written by the legendary filmmaker himself.

The “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” novelization is out now from Random House Books, and that means director/author Quentin Tarantino is out there doing the press rounds talking to major outlets. He’s already been on Marc Maron and Bill Maher, and yesterday, Tarantino turned up on the Joe Rogan podcast on Spotify.

novelization of Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood” is here, with some shocking revelations about its amiable, hippie-beating hero, Cliff Booth. Although the 2019 film shows the veteran stuntman — played by Brad Pitt in an Oscar-winning performance — casually exchanging blows with Bruce Lee and pounding the Manson Family to a pulp, many fans will be surprised to learn that not only has Cliff killed before, but many times.One of the lingering questions posed by the movie was what

IFC Film’s Werewolves Within saw the biggest debut in a weekend without many new limited releases.

The challenges of bipartisanship are easy to spot. It’s casting a die for cooperation, a hope that with your differing neighbor you can find not just common cause but common decency.

When attempting a biopic about a rock ‘n roll icon, there’s an inherent conflict of style and substance. Biopics are traditionally dramatic, yet glossy affairs that bring an air of prestige to every story, whether it’s the tale of a stuttering king, a cagey criminal, or the man who made McDonald’s an international chain.

Just two films into his filmmaking career and Josh Ruben has fashioned his own brand of indie horror-comedy, with a little help from his friends. His debut “Scare Me” largely featured Aya Cash (“The Boys”) and the filmmaker himself play-acting through made-up horror stories, throwing in wild impressions and physical flourishes around a fireplace.

Much can be said about Megan Mylan’s latest documentary “Simple As Water.” Yet, as its title insinuates, the film succeeds in its calculated minimalism. Cataloging the plight of four Syrian families in the aftermath of war, Mylan’s heartfelt exploration of human strife infuses informative insight with harrowing revelations.

Acclaimed photojournalist Gordon Parks was something of a renaissance man. A photographer, writer, composer, film director, and activist—he imbued the American Black experience with a sense of gravitas, esteem, and pathos through his Black gaze.

It is tempting and totally incorrect to put Jamie Adams’ “Love Spreads” on a shelf next to Alex Ross Perry’s “Her Smell”: Both films center on petty, personal rifts expanding between members of all-women rock bands, and the former at first appears, like the latter, concerned with toxic lead singers cursed with too much ego after tasting success.

The vaccine-mandatory world premiere of Dave Chappelle: This Time This Place reopened Radio City Music Hall Saturday night for the first time since Covid hit.

Tomris Laffly “Trespass and die,” reads an unneighborly sign glimpsed early in Josh Ruben’s agile, niftily directed whodunit “Werewolves Within.” While it specifically refers to some local’s private property, one could safely apply the warning to the whole snow-clad Vermont village that surrounds it. Welcome to Beaverfield, a sleepy town chock-full of secrets, lies and ideological disparities you should only enter at your own peril.

Given the amount of nervousness, fear, and uncertainty many women face with the unpredictability of pregnancy—not to mention the strange-to-reckon-with fact that a small, separate being in a liquid sack is slowly incubating inside you—it’s a wonder there aren’t dozens of horror pregnancy films conceived every year. Ilana Glazer’s riff on this genre, “False Positive,” from A24 and Hulu, is born from the emotional turmoil that often accompanies pregnancy.

Based, in part, on Father James Martin’s bestselling book “Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity,” Evan Mascagni and Shannon Post’s compassionate documentary “Building a Bridge” use Martin as an entry point into a larger discourse surrounding the relationship between the Catholic Church and the LGBTQ+ community.
