Will Arnett uses stand-up comedy as therapy for his divorce from Laura Dern in the new dramedy "Is This Thing On?," directed by Bradley Cooper. It's a funny take on a topic that doesn't sound funny at first blush: divorce that's led by a superstar cast and Eyewitness News Entertainment Reporter calls the chemistry between Arnett and Dern 'perfection.' She sat down with them to talk about the making of the movie.

You could hardly ask for a better movie debut than Chase Infiniti's in One Battle After Another, even if the 24-year-old actor was very much thrown in at the deep end. As Willa, the teenage daughter of former revolutionaries, she was called on to do shoot-outs, car chases, karate, and to hold her own against heavyweights like Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro and Regina King.

The week before Christmas is always a flurry of holiday activity - last-minute gift purchases, travel, maybe a few batches of cookies waiting to be baked - but it's also when publications start scrambling to get all their year-in-review columns out the door. The best albums, the best movies, the best TV shows, even the best memes - as someone who's spent a good chunk of her life compiling such lists, I can tell you that there are typically a few clear front-runners or consensus favorites that emerge.

Josh Safdie's hectic new film Marty Supreme, set in 1952, mainly in New York, is, essentially, Uncut Gems but with a happy ending. That recklessly exuberant 2019 drama, which Safdie co-directed with his brother, Benny, stars Adam Sandler as a jewelry dealer in Manhattan and a compulsive gambler who takes thrilling risks to pay off his creditors and learns that the house always wins. With Marty SupremeSafdie's first feature directed without Benny since 2008the happy ending follows logically from a happy beginning, so to speak.

First, Culkin pointed out that his sons can watch Disney Channel classic sitcom, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, which starred his now-wife, Brenda Song, and the kids totally get it. "I'll put it on. Brenda hates it, but I'll put it on ... They're like, 'Yeah, that's mama.' So they get that. But when they see Kevin, they always just call him Kevin. Because the illusion's still there," Culkin began.

These films were funny, intimate, messy, thoughtful, and unapologetically horny; made by real people exploring desire on their own terms and trusting HUMP! audiences to come along for the ride.

According to the trade outlet, the latest installment in the long running Jurassic Park franchise has grossed over $850 million globally, while the Wicked sequel has made over $450 million to date. Of course, Variety notes, neither film's success rode solely on Bailey's shoulders. Both are sequels based on massively popular intellectual property. And both featured Bailey appearing alongside mega stars like Scarlett Johanssen and Ariana Grande. It's also worth noting that neither film was particularly well-received by critics.

Laura Dern's starred in stories of marital disaster before - from her portrayal of a no-holds-barreddivorce lawyer in Marriage Story to her turn as a woman on the brink of a marriage breakdown in Big Little Lies. But her new film, Is This Thing On? (out Dec. 19), offers a brighter take on splitsville. Directed and co-written by Bradley Cooper, the movie follows Tess (Dern) and Alex (Will Arnett, also the film's co-writer), parents navigating the beginning of a separation.

Much like how the character Jack Dawson proudly proclaims to be king of the world after boarding the Titanic, film director James Cameron could claim to be king of the box office. Cameron chooses to take a mellower approach, letting the numbers do the talking. His latest film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, hits theaters this Friday and is primed to break even more box office records.

For most, filmmaking isn't a lucrative profession. But for a select few, it can really pay off. In an industry where few want to be a part of failures and seemingly everyone wants a piece of the successes, these five directors have risen above the fray to not just be master storytellers, but get paid like them. James Cameron, who has made the highest-grossing movies of all time on numerous occasions, is the latest to join the three-comma club.

In the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan, Tom Hanks played Captain John H. Miller, a citizen-soldier willing to die for his country.

"It is a movie where you have to be careful not to rush anything because the silences are important, and the time that passes is important," editor Affonso Goncalves said of the film, which he co-edited with director Chloe Zhao. "Chloe's first tendency is toward the wide shots and the masters, and we talk about when to keep some of that silence that exists in a master, not to go in but just to keep it that way, and when to stretch silences and pauses."

It's been 16 years since Avatar introduced audiences to Pandora's forest-dwelling Na'vi, three since we met their coastal brethren in Avatar: The Way Of Water. Now, it's time to meet the mountain Na'vi known as "ash people." Their tribe decimated by volcanic eruptions, a cataclysm their goddess Eywa did nothing to alleviate, the ash people are aggrieved, aggressive and, unlike the tribes in Pandora's low-lying regions, willing to embrace technology.

For 25 years, we've been drawn to new forms of creative expression and the artists pushing those boundaries. Today's creators are among the most inventive storytellers working in any medium. Expanding Tribeca NOW honors how audiences experience stories today - on every screen, in every form. That spirit of reinvention is what Tribeca was built on.

"Resurrection," a magnificent intoxicant of a movie from the thirty-six-year-old Chinese director Bi Gan, is no ordinary love letter to cinema. It's more like a love labyrinth-a multi-tiered maze, full of secret passages, shadowy rooms, and winding staircases, with a giant movie theatre, sculpted from candle wax, waiting at the incandescent finish. It's an ecstatic, extravagant work of artifice and imagination, and, from the start, Bi and his collaborators (they include the director of photography Dong Jingsong and the production designers Liu Qiang and Tu Nan) embrace their craft with a childlike sense of wonder and play.
