Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 22, 2025 is: voluble • VAHL-yuh-bul • adjective Someone may be described as voluble if they are talking a lot in a rapid, energetic way. // Bri knew something was bothering her normally voluble friend when he was reluctant to talk about his day. See the entry > Examples: “The movie is built around an interview with the legendary 91-year-old actor, still vigorous and voluble, with a seize-the-day cornball glow to him. In ‘You Can Call Me Bill,' Shatner sits under the hot lights, with the camera close to his face, talking, talking, and talking—about life, death, acting, fame, love, desolation, and trees.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety, 16 Mar. 2023 Did you know? In a chapter titled “Conversation,” from her 1922 book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, Emily Post offers her trademark good advice for the loquacious among us: “There is a simple rule, by which if one is a voluble chatterer ... one can at least refrain from being a pest or a bore. And the rule is merely, to stop and think.” Voluble, as is clear in this context, describes someone or something (as in “voluble personality/prose/presence”) characterized by ready or rapid speech. Voluble traces back to the Latin verb volvere, meaning “to set in a circular course” or “to cause to roll.” Another volvere descendant, volume, can also be a help in remembering voluble's meaning, not because someone described as voluble speaks at a loud volume, per se, but because they have volumes to say.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 28, 2023 is: fervid • FER-vid • adjective Fervid is a somewhat formal word describing people or things that express, or are expressive of, strong feelings. // Many of the movie franchise's most fervid fans camped outside of theaters for days leading up to the new installment's opening night. See the entry > Examples: “Unabashed pop groups with fervid teenage followings tend to get trivialized, at least in the media. They're dismissed as being slick and calculated and superficial. But there's a story in ‘Wham!,' the new Netflix documentary about the quintessential pop duo of the 1980s, that testifies to what a chancy and audacious artist George Michael was even back in his teen-idol days.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety, 8 July 2023 Did you know? If you've ever felt as if your emotions were going to boil over, whether you were overly bubbly or, less happily, you needed to simmer down over something, you should have no trouble understanding the roots of fervid. Fervid comes from the Latin verb fervēre, meaning “to boil” or “to glow,” as well as, by extension, “to seethe” or “to be roused.” In English, this root gave us not only fervid but the similar-sounding and practically synonymous word fervent. But while fervid usually suggests warm emotion that is expressed in a spontaneous or feverish manner (as in “fervid basketball fans”), fervent is reserved for a kind of emotional warmth that is steady and sincere (as in “a fervent belief in human kindness”). Fervid fans of kimchi or sauerkraut (or fervent followers of anything fermented), may appreciate that fervēre is also the root of ferment.

After Jeff, John, and Dave rant about how critics are doing film-goers a great disservice (Owen Gleiberman, click-baiting Avatar haters), the boys discuss Avatar: The Way of Water. Despite this movie having pretty favorable reviews among critics and incredibly favorable reviews among audiences, it pains us to be haters since we love movies so much and people aren't supporting new films the way we used to. It's led Dave to drink. He didn't get drunk because he turned 50, it's because an actual critic called Avatar: TWOF a "Smurfahontas Stodgeathon", which is horesheet. And because it eases the pain of being alive as a human, as opposed to a Na'vi. Anyway, our job is to keep it positive, and we mostly do!

Bryan is joined by film critics Ty Burr and Owen Gleiberman to break down Entertainment Weekly dating back to the '90s. They discuss the evolution of the magazine, the environment and culture that Entertainment Weekly fostered, and of course, the letter-grade reviews (0:33). Later, Bryan is joined by The Wall Street Journal's Jason Gay to discuss his experience covering the Winter Olympics in Beijing. They touch on preparations prior to flying to China, what it's like covering the Games in the middle of a pandemic, and weigh in on why it's important for reporters to be on site (50:51).

The desolate plains of west Texas serve as the setting to 2016's Hell Or High Water, a bank-heist movie about family, desperation, and the inevitable end of everything.

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 92% based on 88 reviews and an average rating of 7.87/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A Bug's Life is a rousing adventure that blends animated thrills with witty dialogue and memorable characters – and another smashing early success for Pixar." Another review aggregator, Metacritic, gave the film a score of 77 out of 100 based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Todd McCarthy of Variety wrote, "Lasseter and Pixar broke new technical and aesthetic ground in the animation field with Toy Story, and here they surpass it in both scope and complexity of movement while telling a story that overlaps Antz in numerous ways." James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "A Bug's Life, like Toy Story, develops protagonists we can root for, and places them in the midst of a fast-moving, energetic adventure." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "Will A Bug's Life suffer by coming out so soon after Antz? Not any more than one thriller hurts the chances for the next one. Antz may even help business for A Bug's Life by demonstrating how many dramatic and comedic possibilities can be found in an anthill." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times gave the film four out of five stars, saying "What A Bug's Life demonstrates is that when it comes to bugs, the most fun ones to hang out with hang exclusively with the gang at Pixar." Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film four out of four stars, saying "A Bug's Life is one of the great movies – a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation. Pixar Animation Studios has raised the genre to an astonishing new level". Richard Corliss of Time wrote, "The plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance." Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B, saying "A Bug's Life may be the single most amazing film I've ever seen that I couldn't fall in love with." Paul Clinton of CNN wrote, "A Bug's Life is a perfect movie for the holidays. It contains a great upbeat message ... it's wonderful to look at ... it's wildly inventive ... and it's entertaining for both adults and kids." Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune gave the film three and a half stars out of four, and compared the movie to "Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (with a little of another art-film legend, Federico Fellini, tossed in)." where "As in Samurai, the colony here is plagued every year by the arrival of bandits." On the contrary, Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post wrote, "Clever as it is, the film lacks charm. One problem: too many bugs. Second, bigger world for two purposes: to feed birds and to irk humans."

Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 20% of 113 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 4.20/10. The critical consensus states: "A nonsensical plot and an absurd amount of violence make this revenge pic gratuitous and overwrought." The film has a score of 36 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 24 critics, indicating "Generally unfavorable reviews". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2+1⁄2 stars out of 4. He compared Death Sentence to the Death Wish films starring Charles Bronson, saying: "In the Bronson movies, the hero just looked more and more determined until you felt if you tapped his face, it would explode. In Death Sentence, Bacon acts out a lot more." Ebert called Death Sentence "very efficient", praising "a courtroom scene of true surprise and suspense, and some other effective moments", but concluded that "basically this is a movie about a lot of people shooting at each other". Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club contends the film is "certainly never boring"; he felt that director James Wan was "too busy jamming the accelerator to realize that his movie's spinning out of control." Matt Zoller Seitz of The New York Times said, "Aside from a stunning three-minute tracking shot as the gang pursues Nick through a parking garage, and Mr. Bacon's hauntingly pale, dark-eyed visage, Mr. Wan's film is a tedious, pandering time-waster." Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly felt that "[t]he morality of revenge is barely at issue in a movie that pushes the plausibility of revenge right over a cliff." Conversely, Justin Chang of Variety called the film "well-made, often intensely gripping". Similarly, Bill Gibron of PopMatters felt the film was "a significant movie" and "a wonderfully tight little thriller". Darren Amner of Eye for Film also gave the film a positive review, praising Bacon's performance in particular: "[H]is portrayal is emotional, sympathetic and highly aggressive. As a father he is touching and as a stone-cold killing machine he is even more convincing." Author Brian Garfield, who wrote the novel the film is loosely based on, said of the film: "While I could have done with a bit less blood-and-thunder, I think it's a stunningly good movie. In the details of its story it's quite different from the novel, but it's a movie, not a novel. In its cinematic way it connects with its audience and it makes the same point the book makes, and those are the things that count." He also liked that, like his novels, but unlike the Death Wish film series, it does not advocate vigilantism. Garfield further explained in an interview: "I think that, except for its ludicrous violence toward the end, the Death Sentence movie does depict its character's decline and the stupidity of vengeful vigilantism," adding, "As a story it made the point I wanted it to make."

In this episode we FINALLY have good reason to look at "Birds of Prey" the Harley Quinn spin-off movie that was received with mixed impressions. As Harley Quinn is originally a side character, and Margot Robbie's portrayal had everyone gushing, the spin-off side character movie made it an easy choice for our main topic to center around our favorite side characters.The Review in Variety by Owen Gleiberman on "Birds of Prey" https://variety.com/2020/film/reviews/birds-of-prey-review-margot-robbie-1203492101/The bulk of this episode has Josh giving 5 TV characters he believes deserves a spinoff, and Kelly delivering his picks for 5 Movie characters who deserve a spin-off.

Madea's Witness Protection, while it seems like a worthless comedy meant solely for entertainment, is actually a deep reflection on the decay of our Western Capitalist society. It is a layered masterpiece of comedy genius, which requires deep thought to comprehend even just one of the many levels of a single 'joke'. For example, George asks the titular character for WiFi, and she agrees to make George a waffle. While uneducated fools like Owen Gleiberman may see the line as a throwaway gag, it really is a statement on the disconnect between the wealthy suburban community and the urban lower class community. George, as a wealthy person, has a greater access to essential technologies such as WiFi. When he asks Madea for WiFi, Madea does not understand, and instead offers to make waffles. Madea represents the working class, who due to fiscal differences is culturally drifting away from the American upper class. Her offering of waffles, which creates a humorous misunderstanding due to the phonetic similarity between the words 'WiFi' and 'Waffle', demonstrates the intent of working class individuals attempting to move up in society, but are inhibited by their divide with the rest of society. This is also a beautiful allegory to the decay of Western society due to class divisions, which Tyler Perry masterfully wraps up with multiple allusions to Marx's works throughout the film. In conclusion, Madea's Witness Protection is in reality a beautiful allegory for our society, which is ingeniously disguised as a meaningless comedy film.

Actress, producer, and publisher Sarah Jessica Parker introduces this week’s Film Forum Presents. The episode features excerpts from two special events from our recent run of WHAT SHE SAID: THE ART OF PAULINE KAEL, a fascinating documentary about the life and enduring legacy of the New Yorker film critic.

WHAT SHE SAID is currently available for home viewing in our Virtual Cinema, at www.filmforum.org. All rental fees support Film Forum.

The geeks speak! Gobbledygeek has been resurrected via cloning or Force magic or some shit, and to kick off season 11, Broken Magic author and The Deli Counter of Justice co-creator Eric Sipple has lightspeed-skipped on over to discuss Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. After adoring The Last Jedi, the gang approached this supposed final film in the Skywalker Saga with heavy amounts of skepticism--well-earned, depending on who you ask. They discuss the mystical, magical malarkey behind Palpatine’s return; how director J.J. Abrams and writer Chris Terrio are uniquely suited to not deliver a satisfying conclusion; the oodles of fan service; what the film’s final scene means for the legacy of Star Wars; and more. Plus, they talk about The Baby Yoda Show AKA The Mandalorian.   Next: it is January 29, 2020. Paul and Arlo are discussing Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen for a Four-Color Flashback. I am tired of this world; these people.

Adam talks with American author and academic, Shoshana Zuboff whose book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power is about how the big tech companies (Google and Facebook especially) are employing increasingly sophisticated methods to watch how we behave on line and using that data not only to sell us things, but also to make predictions about our future behaviour and even the kind of opinions we 're likely to have. This predictive data is some instances then traded to other companies and organisations seeking to gain a financial or a political advantage by knowing how customers, or voters, might behave.Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and Matt Lamont for additional editing.

Quentin Tarantino is releasing a new movie at the end of July, so we decided to chat about every Tarantino-directed film in a new series we're calling Inglorious Podcasts.The first film we're discussing is Tarantino's impressive directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs. But before we give our sizzling hot takes, we talk about the last movies we've seen, what we've been consuming on the streaming platforms and the most delectable meals of late. We break down all of the craziness that is Reservoir Dogs and hopefully your ears love what we have to say (and hopefully both are still in-tact after listening). The colorful characters and even more colorful language are just a few things we discuss in this first episode of Inglorious Podcasts.We end the show with a little trivia game we like to play and our Patrons over at www.patreon.com/theavidindoorsmen get to hear an extended version where we break down the Top 5 Best Uses of Song in Films...spoiler we end up making it a Top 10.

  New Podcast with Actor Matt Czuchry!   In this episode of "Kahnversations," we interview Matt Czuchry. After graduating college in May of 1999 with B.A. degrees in History and Political Science from College of Charleston, Matt was set on law school as his next life path.  But when thinking of his true passion, he was brought back to the indelible memories of his childhood.  Moments etched on his heart such as exiting a dilapidated movie theatre crying inconsolably after experiencing E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, or running around in his purple dyed underwear smashing couches while watching THE INCREDIBLE HULK on TV.  When thinking of his adult life, Czuchry could not ignore the magical moments captured through story, imagination, and character that had impacted his youth with such pure happiness. This childlike love of movies and television, combined with his horrible Law School Admission Test scores, pushed Matt’s gut towards an unexpected career choice.  In September of 1999, Czuchry took one of the most important risks of his life and decided to pursue a profession in acting.  On a perfectly nondescript Wednesday morning, Matt filled his car with everything he owned and left his hometown in Tennessee for a new life in California.  Since completing that life changing drive from Johnson City to Los Angeles, Czuchry has worked with Oscar® winners, Emmy® winners, and Tony Award® winners, while establishing himself as a leading man through credits spanning theatre, television, and film. Just one month after arriving on the West Coast, Matt found himself working with actor James Franco and writers Paul Feig, Mike White, and Judd Apatow in a small role on the critical darling FREAKS AND GEEKS.  Czuchry’s work on the classic fan favorite would turn into a major guest starring arc in the DAWSON'S CREEK spinoff series titled YOUNG AMERICANS, starring actress Kate Bosworth.  Although this show itself was short lived, Matt’s work on the project would garner the necessary attention to further his early career with the best creative minds in the business on television shows such as David E. Kelley’s THE PRACTICE and films like EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS, starring Scarlett Johansson. Two key television series, HACK and GILMORE GIRLS, would propel Czuchry’s early career towards leading man status.  While playing swindling thief Jamie Farrel on the series HACK from 2003-2004, Matt was able to hone his craft by learning from the show’s stars, Drama Desk Award winner David Morse and Emmy® winner Andre Braugher.  His work on HACK readied Czuchry for his breakout performance on the critically acclaimed hit GILMORE GIRLS.  From 2005-2007 Matt embodied the role of billionaire newspaper heir Logan Huntzberger.  For his work on the beloved series, Czuchry would go on to be nominated for three Teen Choice awards while gaining press in countless magazines and popularity on television sets across the globe. After completing his three year run on GILMORE GIRLS in 2007, Czuchry matured in his craft by choosing work in different genres spanning theatre, television, and film.  In September of 2007, Czuchry was on stage in the title role of Third, alongside Oscar® winner Christine Lahti, in Wendy Wasserstein’s West Coast premier of the play by the same name.  He followed this performance at the Geffen Theatre with a recurring arc on the Emmy® winning series FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.  In 2008, Matt took on the controversial lead character of Tucker Max in the movie adaptation of the New York Times best selling book, I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL.  Although the public’s response to the comedy was divisive, Czuchry’s performance was lauded by critics such as Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly who wrote, “Matt Czuchry, in a star performance, plays Tucker like a Ferris Bueller who bloomed into a charming sociopath.” Czuchry’s varied performances and choices across all genres in different mediums from 2007-2008 led to an offer to play the role of a manipulative lawyer in the two-time Emmy® nominated THE GOOD WIFE. Matt's seven seasons as Cary Agos on CBS Television’s THE GOOD WIFE (2009-2016) firmly established him as a leading man and a rising star while also earning him prestigious recognition from both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety’s annual Emmy® Contenders lists in 2015. Prior to these honors Czuchry won the Entertainment Weekly Best Supporting Actor EWwy Award (2011), received nominations for three consecutive SAG Ensemble Awards (2009-2011), and also garnered the highest praises from numerous critics such as David Hiltbrand of The Philadelphia Inquirer who wrote “Czuchry may be the best young actor on TV.”  Matt Richenthal of TV Fanatic further affirmed those sentiments by stating, “Cary is played brilliantly by Czuchry with the right combination of swagger, confidence, and vulnerability.”  Matt’s tireless dedication to his craft on THE GOOD WIFE, and over the course of his career, led to a defining performance on one of TV’s best shows while working alongside multiple-award winners Archie Panjabi, Christine Baranski, Julianna Margulies, Chis Noth, Josh Charles, Alan Cumming, Michael J. Fox, Matthew Perry, and F. Murray Abraham. In 1999, Matt Czuchry took a life changing risk by following his passion and gut to pursue his love of story, imagination, and character.  Today, Czuchry surrounds himself with the great talents of stage, television, and film on some of the most desirable projects in the entertainment industry, in an effort to make his own indelible mark on the hearts of others.  As Matt continues to tirelessly study his craft, he sets his sights on even greater career heights.  Knowing that his past work has laid the groundwork for future success, but each new performance and project choice demands an even better excellence.

Before Geoff heads out for Cannes, he and Rob sit down with Owen Gleiberman, Chief Film Critic at Variety, to talk about how this year's slate of films is pushing the boundaries of what people expect from the highly influential, but famously traditional festival. The three discuss the impact of bringing Jane Campion's TOP OF THE LAKE and David Lynch's TWIN PEAKS to the festival (3:30), the significance of increasing the number of female filmmakers represented in the lineup (11:25), and why this is such an important festival for Netflix (17:20). They also wonder why there are no major Hollywood studio films in competition this year (23:05), question if worlds of artistic film and popular film are further apart than ever (27:05), and make their extremely premature predictions for this year's Palme d'Or (31:05)

Adnan reviews Silence (3:05), La La Land (15:01), and Fences (19:26) and chats with Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg (25:25) and esteemed film critic Owen Gleiberman (39:12).

Film critic Owen Gleiberman and Bret Easton Ellis discuss fanboy culture, Carrie, Jonathan Demme and criticism functioning as marketing.

Jake Hampton and Chad Durham discuss Chad's self-made "actor spectrum," which aims to put representative actors and actresses from Hollywood on a timeline that moves from less talented to most talented. Jake adds his two cents on Chad's miscalculations and suggests other actors and actresses that would fit on the spectrum. Also, they discuss Knight of Cups, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, the Looking movie on HBO, and Owen Gleiberman's memoir Movie Freak. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chad-durham8/support

OWEN GLEIBERMAN podcast excerpt: "When I first saw 'Spotlight,' I was, 'Yeah, this is great! It's feeding my nostalgia for 'All The President's Men'! It's about when newspapers mattered!' It touched all of my key passion points. But the more I thought about it, I thought it was a good move, but it wasn't great. And I did watch it a second time; if anything, it looked a little less good. The major characters could have been developed more; it's not All The President's Men."Key interview moments:• 8:30 Owen Gleiberman talks about the impact of scary, horrific movies on the souls of 12-year-old children (himself included);• 29:30 Legendary film critic Pauline Kael was an early supporter of Gleiberman's -- she recommended him for the job at 'Entertainment Weekly' -- but she was not an enduring friend to those who disagreed with her film criticism;• 54:00 "Spotlight" was a good movie, he says, but it didn't hold up upon repeat viewing.Subscribe to Mr. Media for FREE on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=MrMediaRadioFor more interviews like this one: http://www.MrMedia.com What is Mr. Media® Interviews?

Film critic Owen Gleiberman visits The Treatment to discuss his roots in film analysis as movies helped him feel "connected" during childhood. He explains this and more in his new book Movie Freak.

Today's Guest: Owen Gleiberman, author, Movie Freak: My Life Watching Movies, film critic, BBC.com, Entertainment Weekly, Boston Phoenix   Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with Owen Gleiberman by clicking on the video player above!  Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of movie fans who agree with me that The Hollywood Knights is the most underrated movie of the last 40 years and that Robert Wuhl deserves the Kennedy Honors… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! If you thought that Straight Outta Compton was an at times brutal account of the entertainment business, ready yourself for the all-out brawl that is Owen Gleiberman vs. Pauline Kael and Her Acolytes. Okay, I’m kidding. Mostly. OWEN GLEIBERMAN podcast excerpt: "As a college kid, I was intimidated to be around Pauline Kael, this writer that I admired. She had a personality that was domineering. From the moment I was first talking to her, I felt pressure to agree with her. She was incredibly insinuating. She gave you a sense that she believed completely and had a kind of contempt for what anyone else would think." You can LISTEN to this interview with former ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY film critic OWEN GLEIBERMAN, author of MOVIE FREAK: MY LIFE WATCHING MOVIES, by clicking the audio player above! Movie Freak: My Life Watching Movies is a compelling memoir of an accidental movie critic, a young man who discovered comfort in dark theaters as a boy and never left it even as an adult. What struck me about Movie Freak was the parallel between Gleiberman’s film experiences from adolescence on to high school and into college—and my own. Part of that is our similarity in age; part is having had the good luck to be mentored and steered at critical times in our early careers. As I was reading the book, I kept telling my wife, “Replace Michigan (where Gleiberman grew up) with New Jersey and University of Michigan with University of Miami and this might as well be my life through being a freshman in college.” To which my wife would shrug, roll her eyes, and return to “Top Chef.” OWEN GLEIBERMAN podcast excerpt: "When you're at a certain age, horror can certainly scare the the sh!t out of you. There are probably 12-year-olds that sneak in to see 'Saw 4' and I can't imagine what that does to them--probably something far worse than 'Rosemary's Baby' or 'The Boston Strangler' did to me. In hindsight, the films I saw at the drive-in with my parents might have been pretty extreme but there was a certain humanity to them. It was less about the gore." Gleiberman is best known to film fans as the first film critic at a little magazine named Entertainment Weekly, a position he held for more than two decades – even though he trashed Pretty Woman. Not that I loved it either, but I wasn’t in a position to influence millions, just tens. I especially loved the backstage editorial anecdotes and sniping he shares from his time at the predominant entertainment zine in the country. The book also doesn’t shy from revealing the author’s porn addiction in college, love of cocaine as a young adult, and – for many years – his inability to commit to any woman for longer than six months. By the way, you gotta respect a man who admits his job ain’t exactly tough. Key interview moments: • 8:30  Owen Gleiberman talks about the impact of scary, horrific movies on the souls of 12-year-old children (himself included); • 29:30 Legendary film critic Pauline Kael was an early supporter of Gleiberman's -- she recommended him for the job at 'Entertainment Weekly' -- but she was not an enduring friend to those who disagreed with her film criticism; • 54:00 Spotlight was a good movie, he says, but it didn't hold up upon repeat viewing.
