@joshrottenberg @IndieFocus Sometimes it's just about the headline.

@joshrottenberg Are you not following the newsletter by @IndieFocus which covers the best repertory in L.A.? Change that. We're in a golden age. Take a taste of his latest installment below.

Take the time to catch up with deep reporting by @joshrottenberg on how AI is affecting screenwriting. Billy Ray wrote "Somehow heartbreak feels good in a place like this" but he'll never use AI, which he calls a "cancer masquerading as a profit center."

Our critic Amy Nicholson calls EDDINGTON "such a superb social satire about contemporary America that I want to bury it in the desert for 20 years. More distance will make it easier to laugh." . Amy grapples with it in a nuanced way here.

How about some movies coverage? We attached a god-like status to cinematographer Darius Khondji back in film school; movies like SEVEN and DELICATESSEN were studied repeatedly. I can't believe we got him for the paper. @Carlos_Film has Khondji on EDDINGTON.

Here's @TheAmyNicholson with a complex, personal reaction to SUPERMAN, a wonderfully winding (and spoiler-free) read.

Visiting Embeth Davidtz (and her two rescue dogs) at home in Brentwood Park, @TimGrierson wrote this beautiful profile about her reckoning with a South African childhood — and making her directorial debut count.

"He drew a line and we just have to be brave and strong enough to try and challenge this line. With humility, but with desire.". @tgreiving spoke with composer Alexandre Desplat about his idol, John Williams, and scoring JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH.

@joshrottenberg @TheAmyNicholson @ezwrites @raabele Marlee Matlin is a special kind of survivor, someone who needed Hollywood to catch up to her. @TimGrierson reviews NOT ALONE ANYMORE, the galvanizing documentary about her struggles.

@joshrottenberg @TheAmyNicholson @ezwrites @raabele Reviewing M3GAN 2.0, @TheAmyNicholson calls it a "magpie movie that’s happy to give audiences the tinselly things they want — i.e., two robots clobbering the Wi-Fi out of each other. But Johnstone creates openings for his own shaggy sense of humor."

@joshrottenberg @TheAmyNicholson @ezwrites @raabele M3GAN 2.0 is here. I visited the studio of doll designers Adrien Morot and Kathy Tse, who have a lot of love for their creation.

@joshrottenberg @TheAmyNicholson @ezwrites Reviewing FAMILIAR TOUCH for the paper, @raabele singles out Kathleen Chalfant’s "brilliant, award-worthy performance" as an "older woman in need, but no less expressive of life’s fullness because of it."

@joshrottenberg @TheAmyNicholson Making her debut feature FAMILIAR TOUCH, director Sarah Friedland decided to shoot it at an actual senior living home — and get the residents involved as production assistants. This story by @ezwrites is a delight.

@joshrottenberg Reviewing F1, @TheAmyNicholson writes, "Straightaway, the energy is so macho that it’s almost corny. Embrace the tone while allowing the occasional eye roll at Brad Pitt’s near-mythic modern-day Steve McQueen."

“I’m still working picture to picture," says mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who, in addition to TOP GUN and ARMAGEDDON, now has F1. @joshrottenberg sat down with him in Santa Monica to talk about the business of Hollywood.

Reviewing SORRY, BABY, Katie Walsh calls it "a movie that lingers," thanks to the "profound and nuanced honesty Victor extracts from each moment."

How about some movies this weekend? LAT staffers and contributors have you covered:. First, @IndieFocus sat down with Eva Victor to discuss SORRY, BABY, a debut of rare poise and sensitivity. How she made it is inspiring.

Our Amy Nicholson finds 28 YEARS LATER "beefed up by unusual ambition, quirky side characters and maniacal editing." It "dares us to devolve." . A fun review that gets medieval.

The trio of director Danny Boyle, writer Alex Garland and DP Anthony Dod Mantle reinvented zombies with 2002's supercharged 28 DAYS LATER. @IndieFocus got the band back together (Garland: "It’s not the Beatles") to discuss 28 YEARS LATER, just as timely.

Gorgeous review by Robert Abele of A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, a notable documentary that breathes life into a lost parent's legacy — arriving at multiple Laemmles this weekend!
