Much like his previous short Walls Like Windows, writer/director Werner Vivier’s latest film Fine Dining is a cleverly constructed drama with subtle undertones of something more exploratory. It’s set during a first date where a couple are meeting at a spot to eat, but once the pleasantries are out of the way the subconscious racism at play, regarding the choice of restaurant, comes to the surface. What then transpires is a debate around the Eurocentric nature of food culture, particularly regarding the concept of high-quality dining. It’s a really interesting piece told through a singular wide shot that zooms in and out of the conversation as it unfolds, creating a tense, voyeuristic effect.

A new Captain America: Brave New World set photo has turned into speculation about Harrison Ford appearing as the Red Hulk in the film, all due to the actor's pants. Ford will play MCU veteran Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Brave New World, taking over the role from the late William Hurt, who originated the character in 2008's The Incredible Hulk.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” held preview screenings and had its Hollywood premiere on Thursday, and that means the reactions are pouring in.
And it’s a given that so far, those who saw it tonight mostly loved it. Attendees in screenings on the east coast or in the central time zones got out first — as we write this, the Hollywood premiere screening is currently about halfway through — so we’ll start with them.
Film critic Bob Chipman calls it “easily the best of the trilogy and a top 5 Marvel Movie,” and he also posits that director James Gunn’s new bosses at Warner. Bros. have to be happy with that decision after seeing this.
Writer Mike Ryan said Gunn “bet the house” on the film, “and won,” and praised how it exists as a sci-fi action film as opposed to another Super Hero joint.
But there was some rumblings of dissent.
