Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Overflowing with insight; stuffed with bracing interviews and anecdotes and archival footage; as bursting with flavor as a baked ziti; and as immersive, in its way, as the show itself, “Wise Guy: David Chase and the Sopranos” is Alex Gibney’s sensationally artful and engrossing two-hour-and-40-minute documentary about the greatest show in the history of television.

Matthew Vaughn is responding to the heavy criticism his film Argylle received.

Argylle director Matthew Vaughn has spoken out against the criticism the film has received, saying: “We didn’t make Citizen Kane, but fucking hell.”The spy action comedy, which was released in February, starred Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Dua Lipa, John Cena and Samuel L. Jackson.Set in the same universe as the Kingsman films, which Vaughn also directed, the plot of the film revolves around a reclusive author (Dallas Howard) who realises that the spy novel she is writing is mirroring events in the real world.The film was met by less than glowing reviews, currently sitting at a score of 33 per cent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Tomris Laffly “They don’t make ‘em like this anymore,” we wistfully say these days when praising skillful mainstream movies, ones that remind us of a past when Hollywood used to stir us more regularly through moving original films. There is truth in that overused nostalgic acclaim, even though few movies actually deserve it as much as Joachim Rønning’s (“Kon-Tiki”) classically glorious “Young Woman and The Sea,” a defiantly big-screen, consistently enthralling biopic that both earns one’s genuine tears, and inspires everyone of all ages to dream a little bigger, go a little further.
