The future really is so bright that you have to wear a revolutionary kind of shades.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a breathtaking cinematic achievement that honors Homer’s timeless epic with stunning IMAX visuals, unforgettable performances, and exhilarating action, making it one of the director’s finest works to date.
The New York premiere of ‘The Odyssey” was a monumental success that made the starry night a perfect ode to Homer.
Few horror franchises have sustained cultural relevance the way Scream has. Since its 1996 debut under Wes Craven, the series has balanced razor-sharp satire with genuinely nerve-shredding suspense. With Scream 7, directed by Kevin Williamson—who originally penned the first installment—the franchise enters a new phase while consciously reconnecting with its roots. Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox return for this latest chapter that aims to bridge generations of fans while reasserting the saga’s identity.
The universe is vast, cold, and often portrayed as a place of solitary survival. But in the upcoming cinematic event Project Hail Mary, the void of space becomes the backdrop for one of the most heartwarming and crucial partnerships in sci-fi history. Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, this film isn’t just about survival; it’s a vibrant, emotional testament to what we can achieve when we stop looking at our differences and start looking at our shared goals.
This week in New York City, IMAX, Mercury Studios, FilmRise, and Paisley Park Enterprises hosted an exclusive advance screening of the newly remastered concert film, Prince: Sign O’ The Times, at the AMC Kips Bay 15 IMAX theaters.
Take one look at me you know imma Andre 3000 fan. The artistry, the honesty, the forthrightness: he’s a genius after my own heart.
So I was thrilled when I got invited by Knockturnal’s foremost music writer Hakeem to witness an IMAX presentation of ‘New Blue Sun,’ a film / album directed by Terrence Nance – huge fan of his, too – featuring Andre in a blue room simply living. A living room, if you will.
This album ended up on several year end best of lists and I couldn’t agree with those critics more. It’s meditative, curious, improvised and whimsical.
The visual we got matched that energy perfectly. He’s doing hand stands, he’s playing with toys, he’s walking with shoes for hands: it’s a tour de force of childlike improvisation soundtracked by improvisational jazz.
‘Ninety Three Til Infinity and Beyoncé’ is the standout track, a fete of Sun Ra soaked genius, featuring the magnificent string work of Memphis-born genius V.C.R.
We seguewayed to a Q+A with Terence and Andre after the film wrapped. Full disclosure: fully thought they’d both be live in the building.
Still had a marvelous time. It’s just so fun listening to Andre talk.
‘If you don’t follow through on things…overly losing just don’t feel good,’ he said in reference to successfully washing his car. Such an off-kilter and direct way of describing a universal feeling.
We sat in rapt attention as questions flooded in from around the country. We could hear – in state of the art surround sound – the live New York audience shouting out in support of one of the most brilliant minds of our time.
I was jealous I couldn’t be there to register my thanks to him in person. He may have brought us a new blue sun, but Andre 3000 remains ice cold.
Having seen both Barbie and Oppenheimer, I’m glad I didn’t do the Barbenheimer double feature, because Oppenheimer devastated me.
