Ana de Armas takes center stage as a revenge-driven killer trained in ballet and bloodshed—and we're here for every pirouette and bullet.We break down our expectations going in, how the film expands the Wick mythology, and whether Keanu Reeves' return as John Wick added substance or just style.

"I can carry nearly eighty gigs of data in my head." For our Cinema Shock summer series, we wanted to take a look back at a few movies that were celebrating significant anniversaries this year. When we began browsing films released in 1995, we noticed an interesting trend: There was a glut of cyber thrillers released that year. And more specifically, cyber thrillers that dealt with the concept of virtual reality.  This probably shouldn't be surprising: 1995 was a banner year for technology; with the release of Windows 95 and the increasing availability of home internet, more people than ever were being connected to the World Wide Web. And as we know, Hollywood loves a trend. Enter: Virtual Insanity. In this series, we'll be exploring some of the more significant films of this very specific subgenre, all of which are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. Most of these films fell flat at the box office in 1995 but all have reached varying degrees of notoriety in the decades since. Kicking things off, we're taking a look at JOHNNY MNEMONIC, possibly the strangest of the bunch. It's a film with a long, complex production history whose journey from page (in a short story by cyberpunk legend William Gibson) to screen was fraught with delays, difficulties and compromises. In our last episode, we detailed the early days of JOHNNY MNEMONIC's development and filming. This week, we'll focus on the film's contentious post production period, where the Hollywood execs responsible for marketing the film tried to turn it into something it was never intended to be, hoping to capitalize on the newfound post-SPEED superstardom of Keanu Reeves. We'll also get into our own thoughts on the film's legacy, as well as how its views of the internet and global connectivity are still relevant today. Next week: We continue our look at the cyber thrillers of 1995 with an often-overlooked film that stars two of Hollywood's biggest names. Want to support the show?

This is the final episode of the BFG Podcast. We're as sad to see it go as you are, but editor and host Neal Pollack has a new job at the U.S. edition of The Spectator, the world's oldest magazine, and will no longer be seeing and talking about movies for a living. We had an extraordinary four years on the podcast, bringing you news and commentary nearly every week on a shoestring budget, but it's time to end our amazing little show.Neal welcomes his one and only guest this week, film critic Stephen Garrett, to discuss two new films and a bunch of older ones. First up, Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, which both Neal and Stephen agree stands above the usual fare that Anderson has been producing in recent years. That has a less to do with Anderson's endlessly arch visual style and more to do with emotional and fun performances from the film's three leads, Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, and Michael Cera. There's also a fun basketball segment in the middle, and a poignant ending that makes this feel more like a movie and less like an art-school experiment.There's nothing particularly art-school about Ballerina, a side-sequel of sorts to the John Wick saga. Stephen and Neal both were able to see past the self-seriousness of John Wick and Wick-adjacent movies to see the slapstick heart at the film's center. There's an extended flamethrower battle toward the end that is one of the zaniest action sequences ever put to film. And Ana de Armas, while about the size of a peanut, has enough movie-star charm to hold it all together. Plus, there's an extended Keanu Reeves cameo. This is pretty fun.Finally, Neal and Stephen reconsider the hundreds of movies they've reviewed since 2018, when Neal took over the reigns. Mostly, they focus on the five-star movies, films that are good, but that reviewers reacted to in a personal way. They argue extensively about Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood, which Neal likes way more than Stephen, and First Man and Ad Astra, which Stephen likes way more than Neal. If you can take any one thing away from Neal Pollack's tenure at BFG, it's that he doesn't like movies where astronauts cry. Astronauts should never cry. They are in space. It is their dream.That's all from us at the BFG podcast. Thank you so much for listening over the years, and enjoy our final episode!

Everyone is a Critic Movie Review Podcast

This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we cover a wild mix of genres—stylish revenge thrillers, quirky capers, shark horror, supernatural suspense, and a cult classic thriller. Ballerina Directed by Len Wiseman Starring Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves Set in the John Wick universe, Ballerina follows Eve Macarro, trained by the deadly Ruska Roma, as she unleashes her skills on an army of assassins in her quest to avenge her father's murder. The Phoenician Scheme Directed by Wes Anderson Starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton In classic Anderson fashion, this film delivers a visually whimsical and tonally oddball tale of inheritance, danger, and absurdity as a nun becomes the unlikely heir to a business empire under siege from international foes. Dangerous Animals Directed by Sean Byrne Starring Hassie Harrison A sun-soaked nightmare with blood in the water. A surfer named Zephyr is held captive by a shark-worshiping serial killer aboard his boat, racing to escape before becoming bait in a gruesome ritual. Bring Her Back Directed by Michael and Danny Philippou Starring Sally Hawkins, Billy Barratt, Sora Wong From the creators of Talk to Me comes another chilling descent into supernatural terror. A foster home hides sinister secrets when two siblings witness a horrifying ritual that puts their souls—and sanity—at risk. Classic Review: Mute Witness (1995) Directed by Anthony Waller Starring Marina Zudina, Faye Ripley This criminally underrated ‘90s thriller follows a mute makeup artist who accidentally stumbles upon a snuff film being made in a Russian studio. What follows is a tense and terrifying game of survival against the Russian mafia.

Step into the shadows with us for a cold, calculated dive into the blood-soaked world of John Wick. In this episode, we tear through the grit, grief, and gunfire of the film that reloaded the action genre with precision and pain. Keanu Reeves delivers a haunting performance as a man who's lost everything—and who's about to make everyone else pay for it. We break down the brutal elegance of the fight choreography, the silent rules of the criminal underworld, and the mythic rise of a reluctant legend carved in bullets and blood. This isn't just an action movie. It's a symphony of violence, wrapped in grief and soaked in style. So holster up, keep your coin ready, and remember: if you wrong John Wick… you better run. Spoilers ahead, bodies behind.

From the World of John Wick....this is techically a spin-off which takes place between the events of John Wick Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the focus here is on Eve who is played by Ana De Armas.  Eve is an assassin who was initially trainied as as a ballerina, hence the title!  The Director of her "academy" is Angelica Huston who was also featured as a character in Chapter 3.  Eve is seeking revenge against a rival organization which murdered her father when she was a young child - that organization is lead by The Chancellor played by Gabriel Byrne.  And off she goes from New York City throughout Northern Europe on an increasingly violent adventure where she is tasked with defeating rival assassins through a variety of methods including her fists, grenades, flame throwers, knives, and dishes. ;) Along the way, she also encounters the "Baba Yaga" himself, John Wick once again played by Keanu Reeves.  Ken Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, Underworld) directs with a supporting cast also including Ian McShane, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and in sadly his final on-screen appearance, the late great Lance Reddick. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Ana de Armas holds her own in an action-packed entry to the John Wick mythos in “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina," and yes, John himself (Keanu Reeves) does make an appearance. The latest Wes Anderson film hits theaters with its appreciative creativity and precision in "The Phoenician Scheme.” Still, despite solid performances (including those from Kate Winslet's daughter, Mia Threapleton), the narrative left Andy with sheer frustration due to its incomprehensibility.
