PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF: Filmmaker Matt Wolf on his two part HBO film – Interview

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 05/24/2025
PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF movie poster | ©2025 HBO

Pee-wee Herman was a character so beloved that people often confused him with his creator/portrayer, the late Paul Reubens (1952-2023). Pee-Wee is an exuberant childlike persona who can be selfish and bratty, but is unafraid of being bold and encountering the odd and the weird. Reubens first developed Pee-Wee when he was part of the Groundlings improvisational troupe in the 1970s, then centered a stage show around the character. In 1985, he wrote and starred in the feature film PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, which gave a major launch to not only Reubens’s career, but that of the movie’s director, Tim Burton. […]Read On »

The title of the feature-length documentary ANTIDOTE, which premieres on PBS FRONTLINE on Tuesday, May 6, refers broadly to truth being the remedy for lies and tyranny. More specifically, the film chronicles the targeting by Vladimir Putin’s spies of Bulgarian journalist Christo Grozev, head of investigations with THE INSIDER and former lead Russia investigator for the international journalism collective Bellingcat. Bellingcat – its name refers to “belling the cat,” i.e., doing something dangerous in order to warn others – was founded by Eliot Higgins in 2014.

Movie Review: HELL OF A SUMMER

HELL OF A SUMMER movie poster | ©2025 Neon

Rating: R Stars: Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Billy Bryk, Finn Wolfhard, Paradis Saremi, Rosebud Baker, Adam Pally, Matthew Finlan, Julia Doyle, Krista Nazaire, Julia Lalonde, Daniel Gravelle, Susan Coyne Writers: Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard Directors: Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard Distributor: Neon Release Date: April 4, 2025 Comparing HELL OF A SUMMER to SCREAM is a bit of a stretch. The characters in the new film aren’t fonts of horror movie lore. On the other hand, they are self-aware enough to mostly behave in a self-protective manner when danger threatens, and we eventually get some villain monologues. […]Read On »

Movie Review: BLACK BAG

BLACK BAG movie poster | ©2025 Focus Features

Rating: R Stars: Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Tom Burke, Marisa Abela, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris, Pierce Brosnan, Gustaf Skarsgård Writer: David Koepp Director: Steven Soderbergh Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: March 14, 2025 The title of BLACK BAG refers not to a physical object, but rather to the catch-all phrase spies use when there’s a topic they can’t discuss with each other. This can be an issue when spies are romantically involved with one another, such as devotedly married George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender) and Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett). The two work in different departments at MI-6, the British equivalent […]Read On »

Movie Review: BLOAT

Rating: R Stars: Ben McKenzie, Bojana Novakovic, Malcolm Fuller, Sawyer Jones, Kane Kosugi Writer: Pablo Absento Director: Pablo Absento Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: March 7, 2025 (theatrical, digital, VOD) BLOAT shares a stylistic ethos (and executive producer Timur Bekmambetov) with UNFRIENDED and SEARCHING. Like those films and a few others, including the sublime HOST, BLOAT takes place entirely on the screens of computers and cellphones. It’s a variation on the found footage horror subgenre, which has a few built-in advantages. For starters, the webcams keep us from wondering why a character is continuing to shoot with their camera when they […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Blu Hunt, Ben Smith-Petersen, John Karna, Katherine Hughes, Joey Millin, Brennan Mejia, Aerial Washington Writers: Webb Wilcoxen and Elric Kane Director: Elric Kane Distributor: Shudder Release Date: February 14, 2025 With a title like THE DEAD THING, we’re primed for one to show up eventually. In fact, we may be primed for something a lot scarier than what we get here. This DEAD THING turns out to be a lot more tense when it mimics reality than when it reaches into the supernatural. We are in Los Angeles, both downtown and in an adjoining pleasantly hipster […]Read On »
