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 larg…

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 wa…
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 the…
Sharing a new #Substack post -- this one from April of 2021 -- on #VittorioDeSica, an acknowledged master whose work I recently rediscovered. #moviereviews

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 #JessicaJones.…
Two new posts on my Substack discussing my standout film picks of 2020 and my BFI interview with #RaminBahrani on his vivid #WhiteTiger.

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.

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.

Very much enjoyed doing this show with @piersmorgan last week and am posting it for your interest.

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 iro…
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 @realDonaldTrump.…
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.

Below is the first 30 minutes of my interview Tuesday with @KatieHalperShow on the JFK case. With me is Jim DiEugenio, researcher and associate.

Second half of the 60-minute interview will be up next week.
I’ve also enclosed, for the record, my ope…
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 tort…
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. Bas…
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 st…
Jim DiEugenio, the screenwriter for #JFKRevisited, wrote a Substack essay in reply to an attack on my film #JFK by Bari Weiss' "Free Press" – carelessly written and apparently not fact-checked by its author, Eli Lake. Anyone who can use #GeraldPosner (Case Closed, 1993) as a sour…
Exciting New Year's Movies (2/2):
4. #TheBrutalist, which I was excited to watch on Christmas Day, had a great first half – but, alas, a not-so-great second half, wherein the thread that would get this film out of the maze it stumbles into gets lost in indulgence and, it seems…
Exciting New Year's Movies (1/2):
Delighted to share with you my joy over a spate of recent films I’ve seen. So many good ones and fine filmmakers! I’m not seen all of these yet, so apologies to those left out, but of those I have seen –
1. #Wicked – Wow! I never saw the stage…
Just back from Florida, where #PeterKuznick, my co-author of “Untold History,” and I did an interview with @TuckerCarlson on the urgency of the nuclear threat, which should concern every American. Yet, in this mad world, our attention span must compete with mysterious drones, AI…
I highly recommend this great interview between @ggreenwald and @TuckerCarlson on TCN, all 2 hours. Glenn is a national treasure who led the charge in breaking the @Snowden surveillance scandal of 2013. He was also vital in securing the freedom from prison of #Lula in Brazil to r…
In view of President Biden’s past admission of US/NATO intention to destroy the sovereignty of Russia, as well as remove its leader, I thought this clip from #ThePutinInterviews (2017) of watching #DrStrangelove (1964) with President Putin in his office is an important reminder o…
Really pleased to announce the release of a 4K of #BornontheFourthofJuly today, November 12. At least it’s been preserved, and right now, in this marketplace with the studios, there’s just not that much interest in restoring older films unless they’re retroactively deemed financi…
(2/2) I’ve seen some extraordinary films lately, in no particular order. More to follow. #youth #excalibur

Posting a brilliant editorial statement from Australian @caitoz, who’s one of the sanest journalists still left to us. Agree with her 100% -- and I’d include our stated desire to destabilize Russia. Why are Biden, Jake Sullivan, Anthony Blinken, and that whole gang starting this?…

My review of #BernardoBertolucci's hypnotic #TheLastEmperor (linked below), written for @nytimes back in 1998 , as well as some current thoughts on the film.

I wrote this freelance review of #Breathless in 1972 and sent it to Andrew Sarris of @villagevoice, who, surprisingly, printed it. I thought you who follow some of my reviews might be interested. Next up will be something I wrote about Bertolucci’s “The Last Emperor.”

What an event with @TheOliverStone.
Nuclear energy is inevitable. All over Europe, the tide is changing.
@tsvetypenkova, @Franc_Bogovic, @GrudlerCh & @DominiqueRiquet and I proved that supporting nuclear isn't about left or right.
It's about common sense.
