Saturday Night Live star, standup, and, as he confirmed on Wednesday’s Tonight Show, Arianna Grande’s forever “plus-one,” Pete Davidson brought the traditional late-night movie clip to promote. Except the first clip he brought wasn’t for the new Netflix comedy Set It Up (which Davidson claimed he’s in for “like, ten…

Though he’s already re-upped his production deal with Netflix, thereby allowing him to hang out with his friends David Spade and Kevin James some more, Adam Sandler is still considering projects made by people other than himself. As Indiewire reports, the actor-producer is following up his well-received performance in …

Halloween draws nigh, and with it the annual parade of ghosts and goblins, trolls and Trumps, pumpkins and David S. Pumpkins, and other, equally obvious guises drawn from the well of contemporary pop culture. But you read The A.V. Club (or, at least, you scroll past it on the way to the comments). Your refined tastes…

Ten years ago, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez released Grindhouse, a double feature of the kind of exploitation insanity so often promised on bold, in-your-face ’70s poster art, but so rarely realized in actual ’70s films. (Perhaps the most egregious example of this bait-and-switch is 1971’s Werewolves On…

“Rather than explore its groups and institutions—the cartels, street-level dealers, and government agencies—across multiple seasons, Snowfall’s introduced them all at once. The story implicates everyone from a soldier in the Nicaraguan jungle to the president of the United States, who are all poised for future…

What Are You Watching? is a weekly space for The A.V Club’s staff and readers to share their thoughts, observations, and opinions on movies new and old.

We’ve been away for awhile, but we’re back with a new edition of Film Club. For the second installment this week, A.V. Club film editor A.A. Dowd and staff critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky follow up their discussion of Nocturama with a look at Good Time, a new crime thriller from directors Josh and Ben Safdie, which…

In the grubby, squirrelly, one-crazy-night New York crime drama Good Time, Robert Pattinson disappears under a ratty haircut, a mangy beard, and a thick glaze of animal desperation. His character, a petty crook named Connie Nikas, spends almost every second on screen running into or out of trouble, and the star wears…

Shaking off the last of his Twlight sparkles, Robert Pattinson was warmly received at the Cannes film festival this year, courtesy of his gritty new crime thriller Good Time. Directed by Ben and Josh Safdie, the film was a highlight of the festival, with our own A.A. Dowd declaring Pattinson’s performance as a twitchy…

Possibly realizing that things have gone too far when even PETA starts praising your actions, actor Robert Pattinson was forced to clarify today that he was just joking when he suggested that his Good Time directors had encouraged him to jerk off a dog. Pattinson told the story on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night,…

Well, now we know how far Robert Pattinson will go for his art, and that is “just short of giving a dog a hand job.” Pattinson discovered this hard limit on the set of his new film Good Time—which comes recommended out of Cannes by our own A.A. Dowd, by the way—in which his character has a, um, special bond with…

So many movies, so little time. Every week brings a new crop of them, opening in multiplexes and arthouse theaters across the nation, and arriving in increasingly high volumes on streaming platforms like Netflix. How’s a voracious moviegoer to keep up? That’s where The A.V. Club comes in. The first week of every…
