Col Needham first tracked movie credits in a paper notebook in 1981. Now his IMDb is the go-to site for film and TV fans around the world – and worth a fortune.

A fight over directing credits has ended up in the Federal Court of Australia, with a surprising (albeit temporary) outcome. FWIW, the film is at @MIFFofficial and it is great via @theage @smh

Never Get Busted is a riveting documentary about a drug cop who breaks bad (or good). But it is also the subject of a fierce legal battle – about who even made it.

The Story of Souleymane (aka Souleymane's Story, aka L'histoire de Souleymane) is just superb. See it and perhaps have some of your views challenged. At the least you will be moved. https://t.co/D5QiK5Si52

You will care deeply about what happens to an asylum seeker preparing for a crucial interview in this very human story.

I saw Celine Song's new film Materialists. Watching the trailer, I had feared the worst. But I really liked it. It's pitched as a rom-com, but it really isn't. https://t.co/lX9iuD6Dly

Billed as a rom-com, the Dakota Johnson-Chris Evans-Pedro Pascal love triangle is actually a hard-headed look at marriage.

My review of a little indie film that's just crept into cinemas with virtually no fanfare. #MI8 via @theage @smh @brisbanetimes @WAtoday

The final (or is it?) Mission: Impossible movie strains at credulity, but it’s enormously entertaining.

Donald Trump has announced a 100 per cent tariff on all foreign-made movies. Here's what I think that actually means @theage @smh

The US president has opened a new front in his trade wars, which could have strong repercussions for Australia.

Bob Trevino Likes It is a gorgeous little film, and the story behind it is just as good. It's the sort of thing that just might make you feel a little better about humanity, and don't we all need that right now. @theage @smh @RialtoPictures

Tracie Laymon ‘liked’ her estranged father on Facebook, and he liked her back. Except it wasn’t her dad. But relax: this story has a happy ending.

On the joys and challenges of one-shot filmmaking, from Rope to Adolescence (and yes, I know Rope wasn't actually a single take...) @theage @smh
https://t.co/ES7G6w1ANA

Viewers have been rightly impressed by the single-shot episodes of Adolescence. But there have been many forerunners.

At 5pm, the news went out. At five past, the footpath was full of people wanting to see one of the world’s most famous DJs in a tiny St Kilda chippery.

I'm loving #severance but what the hell is going on? I had a stab at rounding up the fan theories (and a few of my own). I can't guarantee any of it is right, but it's such fun trying to solve the puzzle. @BenStiller @AppleTV @theage @smh @brisbanetimes

The internet is full of theories about what’s actually going on in Apple’s cult hit show, and we’ve got a few of our own.

I see a lot of movies, I've been on a lot of movie sets, I think I have a pretty good idea of what goes into making them. But every now and then I watch a scene and go, 'How the hell?' @robbiewilliams @RoadshowFilms @theage @smh @WAtoday @brisbanetimes

It’s the key scene in Michael Gracey’s Robbie Williams biopic, but the man behind it says it very nearly didn’t happen.

For 55 years, Michael Leunig’s illustrations helped make sense of a sometimes crazy world. Now he is gone.
