Elizabeth Holmes invited the cameras in 34 days before prison — Nathan Fielder's A24 film is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
Every previous account of Theranos was assembled from the outside — court records, ex-employees, a Hulu series. This one was shot from inside the house, by a comedian who does not let people finish their own version of events, and it arrives with a perfect critics’ score.

An actor with a four-season Netflix series, an A24 lead and nine award nominations sat down in front of a phone last weekend and offered to take almost any job on almost any set.

The first Digger reactions split critics in half — and both halves describe the same Tom Cruise film. So what is it actually about?

Mahershala Ali agrees Blade was the biggest failure of Kevin Feige's career — so where did the year he spent training for it go?

A studio decided this film was worth more unreleased than released, and wrote it off accordingly. The distributor that bought it afterwards has just watched the ninth digit tick over, and the campaign that got it there was built on the humiliation rather than around it.

The ending of Resident Evil was Zach Cregger's plan B, and the shot that saved it was filmed on a hunch
Austin Abrams turns into a monster either way — that was locked in the first draft. What the director changed is how long you are allowed to believe somebody might stop it, and the change was only possible because of a piece of footage that had no purpose when it was filmed.
