(This review contains no real spoilers for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie . A more detailed and spoiler-filled take on the film is coming tomorrow morning at 9.) Writing the adventures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman required at least as much improvisation as the criminal escapades themselves entailed. Neither the drug dealers nor their storytellers were particularly good at sticking to plans. Much of what made Breaking Bad one of TV’s greatest series ever was how both the show and its main characters backed themselves into corners, then found a way out — usually involving a very big explosion. The most important deviation from the blueprint came very early. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan had assumed that Jesse would introduce Walt to the drug world, then get killed. Instead, Aaron Paul proved so utterly compelling in the role that Jesse not only survived, but in time was treated as Walt’s narrative equal. When the series ended, Walt was lying dead on a meth lab … [Read more...] about ‘El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’ Review: Fan Service Firing on All Cylinders

He’s gone back in time with The Good German , and looked unnervingly prescient with Contagion . No job in his long and distinguished career, though, may have brought him more fulfillment than the 20 episodes of television he directed over two seasons of The Knick , the period medical drama that aired on Cinemax from 2014 to 2015 and has just come to HBO Max . “My wife has told me many times,” Soderbergh says, “‘That’s as happy as I’ve ever seen you working on anything.'” Set at a fictionalized version of Manhattan’s famed Knickerbocker Hospital at the turn of the 20th century, The Knick was created by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, and starred Clive Owen as chief surgeon John “Thack” Thackeray, who used cocaine as an anesthetic on his patients, then got hooked on the drug himself. André Holland co-stars … [Read more...] about Steven Soderbergh on the Gore, the Grind, and the Glory of Making ‘The Knick’

Besides your passport, your most valuable possession when you’re constantly on the go should be your suitcase. Take it from the electronic trio, A R I Z O N A, who spend more than a third of the year on the road, playing festivals and shows. “I need to know that the suitcase will take a beating,” says keyboardist David Labuguen, who says the band was on the road for more than 120 days a year prior to when Covid put a break on touring. Labuguen, who’s a fan of the Dakine Split Duffel , says the main thing he looks for is durability.

Despite ample claims to the contrary, it is beginning to look more and more likely that Daredevil will join Tom Holland's friendly neighborhood web-slinger in upcoming Marvel sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home , which got its official title announced today . A recent casting call has added massive weight to the idea of Matt Murdock being included in proceedings, with production in Atlanta looking for extras to play various courtroom-related roles. Under the title "The November Project" (the well-known working title for the third Spider-Man movie), the listing asks for "males & females, ages 20-60s, to portray a courtroom stenographer, videographer, and attorney." With Spider-Man: Far From Home ending with the outing of Peter Parker as the identity of the wall-crawling vigilante, it has been a long-held theory that Matt Murdock's legal expertise would be sought after to defend Peter in court. Of course, this would then lead to Murdock suiting up and feature a … [Read more...] about Spider-Man: No Way Home Casting Call Hints at the Return of Daredevil in the MCU
