How 'Mom and Dad' delivers epic Cage Rage
There comes a point in every classic Nicolas Cage movie where the volcanic actor erupts in a fury that’s as entertaining as it is slightly unnerving. Cage aficionados have a name for this moment: Cage Rage. Midway through the Brian Taylor-directed movie, which had its world premiere as part of the Toronto International Film Festival‘s Midnight Madness series, the actor has an intense freakout that culminates in him destroying a full-sized pool table with a sledgehammer.

How the makers of 'I Kill Giants' made a non-superhero comic-book movie for kids
In this golden age of comic-book cinema, there are a plethora of superhero options for the young (and young at heart), as well as more serious-minded fare for the grown-up crowd adapted from graphic novels and series like Road to Perdition and American Splendor. The feature debut of Danish director, Andres Walter, who previously won an Oscar for the 2013 live-action short Helium, I Kill Giants — which is currently without a definite release date — occupies that perfect middle ground for young viewers who are hungry for more challenging fare outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe, but aren’t quite ready for the graphic violence on display in, say, David Cronenberg’s version of the graphic novel A History of Violence.

Harry Dean Stanton, quintessential American actor, dies at 91
Harry Dean Stanton, the character actor with the world-weary face who carved out an exceptional career playing grizzled loners and colorful, offbeat characters in such films as Paris, Texas and Repo Man, has died. Stanton, who also was memorable in Cool Hand Luke (1967), Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979), John Carpenter’s Escape From New York (1981) and John Hughes’ Pretty in Pink(1986) — in fact, what wasn’t he memorable in? — died Friday afternoon of natural causes at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, his agent, John Kelly, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Gwynne WatkinsWill the 'Mother!' cast take their mothers? Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, and director Darren Aronofsky respond
The violent, allegorical thriller Mother! (now in theaters) is not the kind of film that gets billed as “fun for the whole family.” Yet it’s a daring, dazzling showcase for the talent involved — in other words, the kind of movie a mother could love, if she’s the mother of Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, or director Darren Aronofsky. Speaking a few hours before the New York City premiere of Mother!, both star Lawrence and writer-director Aronofsky (who have been dating since the film wrapped) said their mothers would be joining them at the screening. “My whole family is seeing it,” Lawrence told Yahoo Movies. “I’m mostly worried about my brothers.
