Shining Girls Trailer: Elisabeth Moss Attempts To Catch A Killer In A Reality-Shifting Mystery Series At this point, if anyone in Hollywood is selling a story that happens to center on a haunted, damaged, and obsessively driven woman, they sure as hell better be giving Elisabeth Moss a call. The supremely talented star of “Mad Men,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Her Smell,” “The Invisible Man,” and “Shirley” (among many, many other notable projects, of course) has all but cornered the market in playing these specific types of leads, going above and beyond to embody such rich characters with a fierce and unwavering sense of commitment....

Spike Jonze’s ‘Secret Robot Short’ Called I’m Here, Stars Andrew Garfield Spike Jonzeis making a secret short film about robot love. Or: he’s making a short film about robot love, and it’s no longer quite as secret. I wrote about the projecta few months ago, when all we had was a few small details and a suggestive photo. At the time the short was said to be premiering in November; obviously that didn’t happen....

Steven Soderbergh’s Kimi Is More Rooted In Fact Than Fiction Steven Soderbergh’s film “Kimi,” released in February of this year, is about an Alexa-type computerized personal assistant that is overseen by personal technicians who are tasked with listening to customers' vocal instructions and sussing out any sort of colloquialisms or linguistic vagaries that the computer may not have been familiar with. One such technician is Angela (Zoë Kravitz), an agoraphobe who, while listening to a garbled recording, finds that she might have accidentally overheard a murder in progress....

This Week In Trailers: Pavarotti, Bliss, Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation, Grass Is Greener, Harvest Season Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Has A Surprising Crossover With The Matrix Resurrections Is “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” merely part of the fabricated reality of the Matrix? Some helicopters in the film are, at least. Both “Venom” and the upcoming “The Matrix Resurrections” were shot in San Francisco at the same time, and it seems that some of the shooting from the fourth “Matrix” movie also made its way into “Let There Be Carnage....

Vera Farmiga Is A “DJ For The Monsters” In ‘Godzilla 2’ Vera Farmigahas offered some strange insight into her character inGodzilla 2, akaGodzilla: King of the Monsters. According to Farmiga, her character can both communicate withandpossibly control the big, city-leveling monsters in the film. A movie where Vera Farmiga talks to big monsters? This is now a must-see. I thought Gareth Edwards’s 2014 take onGodzillawas visually stunning, but narratively weak. I know aGodzillamovie doesn’t exactly need to have a brilliant plot, but I still had a hard time caring about the film’s storyline....
