‘In the Court of the Crimson King’ Review: Doc About a Prog-Rock Perfectionist Is Nearly Perfect Itself

Dennis Harvey Film CriticA whale hunt tradition in the Faroe Islands that’s long been condemned by animal rights activists is given evenhanded examination in Vincent Kelner’s “A Taste of Whale.” This well-crafted French documentary does provide some of the grisly “massacre” footage seen in prior indictments of the seasonal “Grindadrap,” or Grind. But it also lets locals weigh in about something they feel is a part of their cultural identity, while Sea Shepherd campaigners opposed to a practice they deem “monstrous” also get their say.

While plenty of people are rallying behind Chris Rock in the wake of The Slap, others are trying to keep the focus on the fact he crossed the line by making an insensitive joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia condition.

Before the slap. Will Smith and Chris Rock‘s altercation at the 2022 Oscars made tons of headlines, but the duo’s history began well before the comedian’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

Joseph Patel criticized Will Smith and Chris Rock for the events that led up to "Summer of Soul" winning the Oscar for best documentary feature Sunday night. The "Summer of Soul" producer accused Smith of robbing the category of its moment after he slapped Rock on stage before the comedian announced the award. "It robbed the category of its moment," the producer wrote in since-deleted tweets, People magazine noted.

Chris Rock appeared to be in good spirits as he prepared for his stand-up show days after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars. On Wednesday night, the 57-year-old kicked off a comedy tour at The Wilbur in Boston.The venue’s owner, Bill Blumenreich, said the star was "in a great mood" as he rehearsed. "What happened [at the Oscars], he handled it so well," Blumenreich told People magazine.

LIVE – Updated at 00:50This year’s Oscars featured shocks, sighs and surprises – but all anyone will care about is a slap. The Academy Awards took place on Sunday night, with films including The Power of the Dog, West Side Story, Licorice Pizza and Coda battling it out in the big categories.

Jeff Ross is turning his attention towards Chris Rock after the altercation with Will Smith at the 2022 Academy Awards.

It appears actions might, in fact, have consequences.

The morning after a raucous Oscarcast which saw Will Smith slap presenter Chris Rock in the face over his joke about the King Richard Oscar winner wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has issued another statement.

This is the moment Will Smith interrupted the Oscars and hit comedian Chris Rock. Will Smith hit Chris Rock in the face on stage after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s haircut.

Hollywood’s biggest night took an unexpected turn this year. A fight between Will Smith and Chris Rock broke out on national television after the Saturday Night Live alum made a distasteful joke about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, during the 94th Annual Academy Awards.

Will Smith stormed the stage of the Oscars and hit Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Making this film, I got to protect Aunjanue Ellis, who was one of the most strongest, most delicate people I ever met. I got to protect Saniyya (Sidney) and Demi (Singleton), the two actresses that played Venus and Serena.

Plot twist. It’s safe to say Chris Rock’s brief time on stage at the 2022 Oscars stole the show after Will Smith got visibly angry over his Jada Pinkett Smith joke.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticChances are, you landed on this review because you’re trying to game your Oscar pool, looking for a clue as to what will win the always-underseen shorts categories — in a year when they were unceremoniously booted from the telecast, no less. Well, if it’s predictions you’re looking for, there’s little contest among this year’s cartoon contenders: Academy favorite Aardman Animations has delivered a delightful frontrunner in “Robin Robin.” But don’t stop reading there! In an unusually adult-leaning year, the traditionally kid-friendly category is well worth watching in its entirety, whether in theaters or on demand, thanks to stalwart distributor ShortsTV.The program opens with “Robin Robin,” which seems poised to earn Aardman its fifth Oscar (the other four were all won by Nick Park, creator of the Wallace and Gromit characters).
