In our film #W (2008), we tracked the U.S.-Iran problem in this scene, inspired by #DickCheney’s prophetic presentation in the War Room to Bush’s war cabinet. See the highlight below. "Where do you see a lack of American presence? What's missing? Iran. The motherlode. Third largMostrar mais

The recent @ABC News Special "Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?" went to great pains to convince me to appear (along with #JimDiEugenio, who I insisted would join me on the air for "protection purposes," as I made the mistake of giving an interview to Peter Jennings in 2003 that waMostrar mais

I’m pleased to announce the 4K releases of two of my more recent films, #Snowden (2016) and #Savages (2012), from the always-reliable @ShoutFactory, which has taken care of all my films (with the exception of “Platoon,” for which, I’m told, a redo of their last version is in theMostrar mais

Sharing a new #Substack post -- this one from April of 2021 -- on #VittorioDeSica, an acknowledged master whose work I recently rediscovered. #moviereviews officialoliverstone.substack.com/p/vittori...

Two new posts on my Substack from 2021 -- one on two powerful political films that dare to confront an oppressive, censoring, and unnecessarily barbaric Government (#TheMauritanian and #TheUnitedStatesvsBillieHoliday) and the other on the amazingly atmospheric Marvel series #JessMostrar mais

Who knows what's going on! None of us do.

Two new posts on my Substack discussing my standout film picks of 2020 and my BFI interview with #RaminBahrani on his vivid #WhiteTiger. substack.com/home/post/p-176452504 substack.com/home/post/p-176452810

New post on my Substack, originally from February of 2021, where #SpikeLee and I sit down for @Variety's #DirectorsonDirectors to discuss his electric, ambitious #Da5Bloods. officialoliverstone.substack.com/p/da-5-bl...

New post on my #Substack discussing my favorite films from the 2019 @zurichfilmfest, as well as my thoughts on the @BeyondFest 25th anniversary screening of #NaturalBornKillers that October. officialoliverstone.substack.com/p/zurich-...

Over the years on my Facebook, I’ve offered miscellaneous reviews of old and new films from the 1930s to the present. It’s become a little collection now of nearly 150 films from over 20 different posts over 13 years. Reviewing them recently, I think they’re of sufficient interesMostrar mais

Very much enjoyed doing this show with @piersmorgan last week and am posting it for your interest. www.youtube.com/watch

I recently introduced my daughter and younger son to a spate of #JudyHolliday films, which I’ve talked about before. But it’s a different generation, and I was interested in their reactions to the humor of this Queens-born movie star with her cheery looks, offbeat timing, and iroMostrar mais

In 2008, our movie “W.” dramatized a scene of our leaders (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice) deciding to attack Iraq. In a core moment, Cheney discusses #Iran as the ultimate “prize.” It applies today as we embark on another potential disaster, now led by #Netanyahu and @realMostrar mais

A great new book from #EdCurtin linked below. A sumptuous writer and one of the finest thinkers and essayists I’ve read, Curtin sees our confusing world with compassionate clarity and profound wisdom. www.amazon.com/Lost-Found-Political-Dispat...Mostrar mais

Below is the first 30 minutes of my interview Tuesday with @KatieHalperShow on the JFK case. With me is Jim DiEugenio, researcher and associate.   t.co/CtCOy06ccC   Second half of the 60-minute interview will be up next week.   I’ve also enclosed, for the record, my opeMostrar mais

Communicating openly through our screens can be really enlightening, but those people who prefer insulting or just hating another for political or whatever reasons ruin the experience. In my case, I keep hearing from the haters the word “old” thrown my way, i.e. – “You’re just olMostrar mais

Val was brilliant, both as #JimMorrison in #TheDoors and in #Alexander as King Philip of Macedon. His approach and attitude significantly changed between 1990 and Alexander in 2004. The results satisfied me on both occasions. To call #ValKilmer turbulent, contradictory, and tortMostrar mais

What the hell is going on? Trump has turned into Biden? Mercilessly, relentlessly bombing Yemen and aggressively seeking a new war with Iran. Why doesn’t Trump at least meet with the Iranian leaders, as he did North Korea’s? Why doesn’t he educate himself a little and learn aboutMostrar mais

I’m reposting #JeffreySachs's speech to the European Union – a clear and fair step-by-step account of what we did in the hopes of destroying #Russia. Trump, I believe, knows some of this, but the EU is deaf. I’ve added my post put out in March of ’22 after the war broke out. BasMostrar mais

1. Despite the media controversy over #EmiliaPerez, it’s a great film, so original in its conception. I watched it again recently when, as we all do, I began to doubt my choices, and I was again amazed by #JacquesAudiard’s originality in staging a fascinating, always-evolving stMostrar mais
