He’s now getting the opportunity to take on more challenging roles, starting with his new film which premiered at SXSW. In it, he plays a character struggling with mental health who also finds himself in a very strange situation. Day delivers a standout performance in a movie that is both deeply moving and surprisingly funny.
Westerns are a surprisingly flexible genre, able to explore almost any story using the vastness of the landscape. Bone Tomahawk brilliantly demonstrates this, blending western tropes with unexpected elements. Inspired by classics like John Ford’s The Searchers and the horror-western Ravenous, the film follows a group of frontiersmen on a rescue mission after people are kidnapped by cannibalistic cave dwellers. What starts as a typical western gradually shifts into an action-packed adventure, then a brutal survival story, ultimately becoming a truly horrifying experience – culminating in one of the most shocking and gruesome scenes ever filmed in the genre. Be warned: it involves a terrifying and graphic depiction of dismemberment.
Due to limited time and money, the original script had to be significantly trimmed. While you can still see some evidence of these cuts, the movie remains an exciting Western with a fantastic cast. This includes Stephen Lang, known for his role in Avatar, who plays the blustering and cowardly outlaw, Ike Clanton.
The Expendables movies, starring Sylvester Stallone, continued to bring in famous actors in later films, with four releases between 2010 and 2023. While the fourth movie wasn’t a success with critics or audiences, there’s currently discussion about making a fifth Expendables film, which would be a welcome surprise.
I remember when Lord and Miller first announced they were tackling ‘Artemis’ back in 2017 – it was exciting news, as it’s based on the novel by Andy Weir, the same guy who brought us ‘The Martian’. In fact, Weir’s latest book, ‘Project Hail Mary’, is actually what Lord and Miller are working on now, so they clearly enjoy his stories!
These anime are remarkably well-constructed. They follow their own rules consistently, and any exceptions to those rules are carefully explained and feel justified. They don’t fall apart under scrutiny; everything makes sense, and the story remains solid even when viewers analyze it closely. Essentially, they’re exceptionally tight and believable.
When I heard Taylor Sheridan was planning a new family for his post-Yellowstone universe, I was immediately intrigued. Initially, it seemed like another direct sequel alongside shows like Luke Grimes’ Marshals and the planned series with Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly focused on Dutton Ranch. But ahead of The Madison‘s debut, it became clear this show is doing something different – telling a completely separate story, unconnected to the Duttons. Honestly, introducing a new family in the same region without tying them to the Duttons is a risky narrative move. It’s a bold statement, though, suggesting that Montana is bigger than just the Duttons, even after five seasons of focusing on them.
Cillian Murphy has brilliantly embodied the character of Tommy Shelby for six seasons and now a feature film. When the final installment, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, premieres on Netflix on March 20th, it will mark the end of an era for one of television’s most compelling characters, brought to life by a truly exceptional actor.
