Adams’ rise from nobody to a celebrity adult entertainer is meteoric, and soon the whole world seems to know his porn alter ego, “Dirk Diggler”. Now, when disco and drugs are in vogue, fashion is in flux and the party never seems to stop, Adams’ dreams of turning sex into stardom are about to collide with cold, hard reality.

Acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson returns to theaters with another modern masterpiece and one of the best films of his impressive career. Loosely based on the novel ‘Vineland’ by Thomas Pynchon, ‘One Battle After Another’ is an incredibly timely, frantic farce that delivers action, humor, and heart.
Leonardo Di Caprio gives a powerhouse performance leading a fantastic cast that also includes Sean Penn in an Oscar worthy supporting role. Benicio del Toro is fantastically funny in his small role, but it is young actress Chase Infiniti that shines along with Di Caprio.
Story and Direction

The film begins by introducing us to Pat (Leonardo Di Caprio), who is an explosives expert and a member of a group of revolutionaries rebelling against the government and their barbaric immigration policies. The group is led by the charismatic Perfidia Beverly Hills (Teyana Taylor) who is also in a relationship with Pat. She soon crosses paths with Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn) and after she makes a fool of him publicly, he becomes obsessed with her.
Eventually, Perfidia becomes pregnant and after having the baby is captured by Lockjaw, who sends soldiers after the other members. Pat takes the baby, and they go underground living under new identities, careful not to draw Lockjaw’s attention. Sixteen years later, Pat is now Bob Ferguson, an alcoholic pothead raising his daughter Willa by himself, with Perfidia’s whereabouts unknown. They live in a small town where Willa studies martial arts from a local Sensei named Sergio (Benicio del Toro).
Lockjaw is now high up in the government and to join an exclusive and elite club he must kidnap Willa to discover the truth behind a secret that her mother was hiding. Now, with the help of an ex-revolutionary named Deandra (Regina Hall) and Sensei Sergio, Bob must escape from Lockjaw’s men and rescue Willa before it’s too late.

While I love ‘Boogie Nights’ and think ‘There Will Be Blood’ is one of the greatest American movies ever made, I have to say that ‘Inherent Vice’ is probably my favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie. That film was also based on a novel by author Thomas Pynchon, which is probably why the two films are similar in tone and offbeat humor. But Anderson wisely updated the 60’s to 80’s setting of the book to modern day. While our current President’s name is never invoked, it’s obvious that Anderson is using the movie to comment on the current administration’s war on immigration.
In fact, this is by far the most political film Anderson has ever made, but it also has more action sequences than his previous movies. The director finds humor in the most absurd situations, but never loses the message or heart of the movie. Anderson is the last of a dying breed of filmmakers who make unique, crowd-pleasing epics every time out, and this film is no exception. The movie also boasts an impressive score from Jonny Greenwood and gorgeous cinematography from Michael Bauman and Anderson.
Cast and Performances

Leonardo Di Caprio is possibly the last true movie star, having never made a superhero film or even a sequel, he is still an actor that puts butts in seats regardless of the movie’s content. Think about it, this guy got us to go see his bear (‘The Revenant’) movie!
Some of Di Caprio’s best work in recent years has been in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, and he’s just as good if not better here. There are some similarities between Rick Dalton and Bob Ferguson, but Di Caprio creates a new, awkward, burnout character for us to root for. He’s not a hero, but you do want him to win and his relentless need to find his daughter drives the movie.

Sean Penn gives one of his best performances in recent years and is probably a frontrunner for a Best Supporting Oscar nomination at this point. It’s funny to think of the public Sean Penn we all know, a liberal revolutionary in his own right, playing this completely conservative military character. His performance is specific and fits perfectly with Anderson’s tone.
Bencio del Toro gives a gentle and funny performance as Willa’s Sensei Sergio, who helps Bob along the way. He has great chemistry with Di Caprio and shines in all his scenes. Teyana Taylor makes quite an impression as Perfidia Beverly Hills and gives an explosive performance. Unfortunately, her role is limited due to the story, but she lights up the screen regardless.

And in her first film, Chase Infinity is a revelation. The actress gives a subtle yet strong performance as Perfidia’s daughter and has great chemistry with Di Caprio. She holds her own in her scenes with Penn and is quite a force on screen.
Oscar Chances

I think it’s safe to say that ‘One Battle After Another’ should be a frontrunner for Best Picture and Best Director nominations at this year’s Academy Awards. I would imagine Best Original Screenplay for Anderson and Best Actor for Di Caprio are also in the mix, as well as a Best Supporting nom for Penn. I would also encourage voters to consider Greenwood’s work for Best Score, as well as Infiniti for Best Supporting Actress.
Final Thoughts

‘One Battle After Another’ receives a score of 99 out of 100.

Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with actress Heather Graham about her work on ‘Place of Bones’, her first reaction to the screenplay, her strong character, working with Tom Hopper, collaborating with director Audrey Cummings, making a Western and more.
You can read the full interview below or click on the video player above to watch the interview.

Moviefone: To begin with, what was your first reaction to the screenplay and why did you personally wanted to be a part of this project?
Heather Graham: Well, when I read the script, I thought it was surprising. I didn’t know where it was going. We had a screening last night, and actually, a few of my friends said, “I really had no idea where this movie was going. I had no idea what was going to happen”. I just think it was a great character. As an actress, you want to find a juicy role, and it was fun to play this tough badass woman who’s super smart and gets to shoot bad guys with a gun. I think that you feel drawn into the story. You care about the characters. As an actress, you want an interesting role. For me, it’s doing something different where I feel like I get to play this tough badass character who can outsmart these bad guys. That was very fun.
MF: Without giving anything away, were you surprised by the direction that the script goes in?
HG: Yes, the ending is a super surprising ending that I was totally shocked by, but I like that, when I feel like I’ve never seen this before. It’s a different way of telling this kind of story.
Heather Graham as Pandora in the horror/thriller, ‘Place of Bones’, a The Avenue release. Photo courtesy of The Avenue.
MF: Pandora is a strong, independent, and resilient character. Can you talk about your approach to playing her?
HG: I think my character’s had a hard life, so I basically have decided I’m going to keep my daughter safe. I’m going to keep her away from the rest of society because I don’t want anything to happen to her that happened to me. This fierce independence, I love that about my character. I’m flawed but I’m also a good mom in some ways. I think I have a lot of anger and bitterness and maybe I’m protecting her too much, but at the same time, I can understand why she would do that.
MF: Pandora has spent a long-time away from civilization, can you talk about how she feels when these strange men approach her home?
HG: I think a lot of bad things have happened to my character and my husband died, and I think I’m just incredibly resourceful. I think I read a lot of books. I think I know how to do a lot of things, so I know how to survive in the most difficult circumstances.
(L to R) Heather Graham as Pandora and Corin Nemec as Calhoun in the horror/thriller, ‘Place of Bones’, a The Avenue release. Photo courtesy of The Avenue.
MF: Can you talk about the unlikely alliance that Pandora makes with Calhoun?
HG: I think it’s an interesting relationship that we have. It’s not your typical movie relationship, but he’s likable and unlikable. He’s a good guy and a bad guy, and I think that I see who he is, and I don’t let him fool me, like he probably is a smooth talker. Even though he’s kind of a bad guy, he’s complicated and he shows up at the end being more of a good guy. I like that I don’t ever really trust him. Everybody’s really complicated in this movie, and nobody’s perfectly good except for maybe the daughter, but she’s pretty screwed up, too.
MF: Brielle Robillard plays your daughter, can you talk about working with her?
HG: Yeah, she’s awesome. She’s new, she’s young. She is so good. I just watched the movie on the big screen last night for the first time, and she did such a great job and she’s so real. The whole story for me is about how much I love my daughter and want to protect her and help her to have a better life than I had.

MF: Can you talk about preparing for the action sequences?
HG: The gun shooting is fun. I had to do a stunt where I’m shooting at this guy and then I fall over, and they had a stunt woman there for me, but I ended up doing it myself. Then everybody clapped, and the stunt people were like, “Great.” So, I felt like I got cred with the stunt department. That was cool.
MF: I know you only have a few scenes with him but what was it like working with Tom Hopper?
HG: We have a big scene at the end where he’s so scary. He’s so cool. He’s so nice. He’s super cute. Him and his wife, they eat healthy. He was showing me this food that he cooks that looks amazing. He’s kind of the opposite of this character, but in the movie, he’s terrifying and horrible. The thing is, you take this guy whose so movie star handsome, and you want to like him because he’s just so handsome, but then his character is so horrible.

MF: What’s Audrey Cummings like to work with as a director on set?
HG: It’s awesome. I love working with a female director, and she’s cool. She loves genre movies, and it’s just fun. I think we both related to the Pandora character, so we had a great time together.
MF: In general, what are you looking for from a director when you’re working on set?
HG: I think you want to work with someone who’s supportive, who believes in you, but also helps you bring out your best work. I think Audrey really helped ground me and make me more natural and real in the movie, which I really appreciated.

MF: What’s it like making a western and are you a fan of the genre?
HG: It’s a mixture of being very beautiful, and it was freezing. It was so cold, I was dying. It was very uncomfortable. I like Westerns, but I sometimes feel like there’s not enough female energy or female characters in them, so I felt like this was exciting because it told a little bit more of a female story.
MF: Finally, and again, without giving anything away, the film mixes the Western genre with other genres, can you talk about that?
HG: Yeah, it’s got aspects of being a thriller, it’s got aspects of being horror, and then I feel like there’s a lot of humor in it, which I was surprised last night at the screening. A lot of people were laughing in a lot of places, so it’s kind of disturbing, but also it makes you laugh. It’s not so much horror that you can’t sleep at night because of your nightmares.

What is the plot of ‘Place of Bones’?

In ‘One Ranger,’ a gunslinging Texas ranger (Thomas Jane) tracks a bank robber (Dean Jagger) across the desert — only to discover he’s an international terrorist set on detonating a bomb in the heart of London. When the lawman’s partner is killed, he is drawn into partnership with a British intelligence agent (Dominique Tipper) and her boss (John Malkovich) to bring the outlaw to justice — dead or alive.
Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas Jane about his work on ‘One Ranger,’ the “fish out of water” premise, creating his character, his partnership with Dominique Tipper’s character, the action sequences, working with John Malkovich and the possibilities of a sequel.

Moviefone: To begin with, I thought this character fit you like a glove and is a prefect Thomas Jane role. Did you recognize that when you first read the script, and what were some of the aspects of the character you were excited to explore on screen?
Thomas Jane: I’ve had a lot of fun with creating iconic, classic characters, people that are a little left of center. This guy, just by being alive in 2023, is already a fish out of water even in his own world. We’re fortunate enough to be the opening night film at the Dallas Film Festival, so we’re in Texas Ranger country right now. I feel a real responsibility to creating something that these guys are probably going to watch. It’s probably only a few of them, but they’re going to watch this thing. So, I wanted to make sure not to embarrass myself and create something that honored who they are and what they do, because we need more Texas Rangers in the world right now.
MF: Can you talk about the unlikely partnership that your character forms with Dominique Tipper’s character throughout the events of the film?
TJ: We had this British character in the script and we were batting around ideas, and I had just worked with Dominique for five years on ‘The Expanse,’ and we had a really nice relationship. She’s a good egg. She’s dedicated, and we had the connection already between the two of us. So for us it was creating the antagonism that these two obviously are from opposite sides of the pond, and we wanted to have fun with that. But we knew that underneath was the respect that we both just naturally have for each other, so she ended up being a perfect choice and I’m just glad she said yes. It was a lot of fun but it was a tough shoot.

MF: I know you’ve worked with John Malkovich before, but what was it like for you to reunite with him again and work together on this movie?
TJ: He’s one of those consummate actors that every actor respects and admires. I remember when he did ‘Of Mice and Men’ back in the day, that must have been like the ‘80s when he hit the scene doing theater in Chicago and all that. So he’s always been someone to look up to and its always a thrill when you get to work with that caliber of talent. He always shows up. He showed up and he did his job. He was present, and he was there. A lot of these actors that come in for a short period of time, you can’t really count on them. Sometimes they need cue cards, you know what I mean? Not Malkovich. He shows up to have fun, and we certainly did have a good time. These two characters were allies. They’re on the same side, ostensibly, but they have very different ideas about how to get the job done, and that was fun. We had a respect, but also there was an antagonism and you’re always looking for that kind of thing.

MF: I know that you did a lot of your own stunts and action sequences in this film, do you enjoy doing that and does it help you to stay in character and make those scenes as realistic as possible?
TJ: I’m a huge fan of Harrison Ford and if you watch his movies, even in something like ‘Frantic,’ that Polanski directed. Where his family gets kidnapped and he’s got to go after them, but he’s a regular dude. His physicality is just so great. He can say so much with the character just in the way that he moves his body, whether it’s ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ or something else. I grew up watching this guy, with his physicality. You know that it’s him because of the way he moves. You know that’s not a stunt guy because it’s Harrison Ford and the way he moves his body is telling us that he’s scared but he’s going to do it anyway, that he’s never been in this situation before but he’s figuring it out as he goes along. I always aspire to bring something like that because it always struck me. That’s why I like to have fun with the stunts and doing them.
MF: Finally, have you given any thought to a sequel and is this a character that you would like to play again?
TJ: We were just talking about that. Apparently Lionsgate has the same idea, so we’re going to try to figure that out.

When a prospector is found dead in Yellowstone City, Sheriff Ambrose (Gabriel Byrne) quickly arrests the town’s newcomer and former slave, Cicero (Isaiah Mustafa). The town’s new preacher, Thaddeus Murphy (Thomas Jane) and his wife Alice (Anna Camp) soon discover Cicero is innocent and now must stand up to the Sheriff in order to bring the true murderer to justice.
But he is probably best known to Marvel fans as Frank Castle in 2004’s ‘The Punisher.’ He currently stars as Ted Conkaffey on the Freevee series, ‘Troppo.’

You can read our full interview below or click on the video player above to watch our interviews with Jane, and director Richard Gray.
Moviefone: To begin with, how did you get involved in this project and what was your initial reaction to the screenplay?
Thomas Jane: Me and my partner Courtney Penn started a production company in 2019 called Renegade. Renegade’s logo is a horse made out of fire. So, it was natural for us to be attracted to Westerns and to have Westerns sent to us. This was the second Western that we did that we shot in 2020. The first was called ‘The Last Son’ and that’s come and gone.
This one we’re real proud of. It’s a script that came across our desk and we thought “this is a classic Western that does good things with the genre, but doesn’t break the genre or step outside of it, or try to twist it around in some funny way, like bringing aliens in.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But this was a classic Western and when they work, they work. They’ve been around for a long time for a reason.
It’s that tension between the individual, the freedom of the individual and the town, which is society, the rules of society and the morals of society that can be constricting in some ways. Yet you need the society in order to survive. No man is an island, but there’s always an outsider. The outsider comes into the town. The town is either a good town, full of decent people, but ultimately weak and in need of protection, open to the predations of villainous and murderous men.
Or the town is a strong town, but bad. There’s a corrupt sheriff, there’s some corruption creeping through the veins of the town, keeping people off balance. In both cases, a hero is needed from the outside to come in and at first, he’s shunned and then he’s needed. Then at the end, he has righted some wrongs, stomped out some evil and rides off into the sunset.
That’s the basic Western. There’re different variations on that theme. There’s the vengeance theme, which we have a little bit. There’s the professional theme, which came around in the 70’s. It was with Lee Marvin‘s ‘The Professionals,’ and ‘The Wild Bunch’ with William Holden. This was a new twist. It really didn’t exist before the late 60’s and 70’s where you had a group of professional gun fighters. It was always a group. It’s a group of pros and they’ve come in and they don’t care. They’re just being paid to do their job. Along the way their own morality is challenged and then they have to step up and write the wrongs because wrongs need righting.
MF: Director Richard Gray has referred to you as a “Western movie expert.” Do you agree with that statement and how did your work on previous Westerns prepare you to make this movie?
TJ: On both films we were lucky enough to meet and then work with the Schultz brothers who are a group of horse wranglers that live in the Dakotas and they are expert horsemen. The value of good horsemen to a Western, you can’t put a price on it. It is absolutely necessary in order to get your shots on time, to make your days, to get what you need out of the actor and the horse when they’re working together, it’s vital. So, I’m very happy to have teamed up with the Schultz brothers, plan on doing that again many times.
My experience with the Western mostly comes from watching them with my dad. The Western is such a father/son relationship and me and my dad on the weekends would sit down and pop in a Western. We had a lot of great times, a lot of great discussions and a lot of interesting insights into what it meant to be a man, and what it meant to be a good man. The role of masculinity in society, how that role is both needed and despised, and how that changes over the years and the decades.
It’s a purely an American invention, the myth of the American West. It’s like baseball and jazz. These are real American products and it spread all over the world, and now you find Italian Westerns, Japanese Westerns, Bollywood Westerns. So, it speaks to people. It doesn’t really matter where you’re from. It speaks to people who live in a society, the rights and the wrongs and the morality of that. It’s changed over the years.
The classic Western always had a damsel in distress. She represented the weak society that needed protecting from the bad guys, and the hero would step in and say, “get behind me, woman.” He would take care of business. But then the 60’s came around and that evolved to a woman that was strong enough to be the hero’s equal. They would partner up as a couple and then take on the bad guys. That evolution you didn’t see before the 60’s or 70’s.
Then the Western died in the eighties. There were no Westerns in the 80’s. ‘Heaven’s Gate’ in 1980 killed it. It was a huge movie and a financial disaster. It’s actually a very good film if you watch the director’s cut. It is really good, and a real tragedy that the movie didn’t do better. But that killed the Western for the 80’s.
Then they revived again in the 90’s with ‘Dances With Wolves’ and ‘Unforgiven.’ Then you the variations start to creep in like ‘Desperado,’ or ‘The Quick and the Dead,’ where you had a strong female character taking over the role of the hero. Then ‘Posse,’ when you had a black man step up as the hero. So, we started seeing variations. Some of those variations worked better than others. You can bend the genre, but you can’t break it.
Hopefully people have tuned into that now because it plays a very specific role in the American psyche. If you mess with it too much, then it no longer plays that role and then Westerns die again for another 10 years.

MF: A lot of clues about your character’s past are given with very little dialogue, but its’ clear from your behavior that he hasn’t always been a preacher. Can you talk about creating his backstory for yourself and how that helped you create the character?
TJ: I like that you mentioned that we accomplished it with very little dialogue. I’m a big fan of stripping away as much dialogue as you can and leaving only the essentials, letting the audience put the pieces together. That’s how I like to watch movies. I like to watch movies that aren’t spoon fed, that respects my intelligence enough that I will be able to put the pieces together without having somebody give a long speech.
We accomplished that, me and Richie Gray went through the script and we were able to excise as much material as we possibly could in order to boil it down to its essentials. That allows the audience to fill in the blanks with their own imagination, much like you do when you read a novel. That’s always the goal, so it’s nice to hear you say that.
MF: Finally, I understand that this is the first Western that Gabriel Byrne has ever made. What was it like for you working with him on this film?
TJ: As he gets older, he has got a great face for Westerns. I think Westerns are all about faces. Sergio Leone, you look at those movies, you look at the smaller characters and the faces, the grit, the grime and the sweat, but they always had these faces that were hard road. They’ve been ridden hard. You really got that sense that life was tough. It was nasty, brutish, and short, and people were lucky to be alive every day. You could be wiped out any day by the simplest thing. Step on a rattlesnake while you’re digging a grave. So that has always appealed to me.
Byrne is a classically trained, and a wonderful actor. He’s got a great voice. I love the Irish brogue. I love the fact that Westerns are all about immigrants, and there were a lot of immigrants coming in. So, you got a Swedish accent, or an Irish accent, or a British accent. They were all coming in. I like that aspect of the reality that we bring to it. Gabriel is a pro, he’s a real pro and he was a lot of fun to work with.

Philip Baker Hall, an actor for his hangdog expressions, gruff-but-kind demeanor, and undaunted acting ability, has died. He was 90.
Hall was born in Toledo, Ohio on September 30, 1931, served as a U.S. Army translator in Germany and worked as a high school teacher before trying his hand at acting. He didn’t in fact, give performing a shot until he was 30 years old.
After building a career on the New York stage, he relocated to Los Angeles and made his big-screen debut with an uncredited role in Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1970 film ‘Zabriskie Point.’
He also spent years as a guest star on shows such as ‘Good Times’ and ‘M*A*S*H,’ Hall but drew widespread notice on the stage for his performance as disgraced former President Nixon in the 1983 one-man play ‘Secret Honor’ at the Los Angeles Actors’ Theatre. He reprised the role on stage in Boston, Washington and off-Broadway, where he earned a Drama Desk nomination, and on the big screen in Robert Altman’s 1984 feature film adaptation.
His work continued steadily through the 1908s, as Hall had supporting roles in ‘Ghostbusters II,’ ‘Say Anything’ and ‘Midnight Run,’ on the big screen and ‘Miami Vice,’ ‘Benson’ and ‘Family Ties’ on TV.

Hall proved equally adept at drama and comedy, appearing in nearly 200 film and television projects, as well as more than 100 roles in the theater throughout his six-decade career. Continuing to work late into his life, even as he required an oxygen tank at times due to his health issues, he made memorable appearances in a variety of movies films including several for Paul Thomas Anderson: ‘Hard Eight’, ‘Boogie Nights’ and ‘Magnolia’, plus the likes of ‘Bruce Almighty,’ ‘Zodiac’, as a CIA director in ‘Argo’ and as a cranky neighbor Walt Kleezak on the ABC sitcom ‘Modern Family’.
He famously showed up on ‘Seinfeld’ as a hard-boiled detective pursuing a 20-year-overdue library book, lambasting Jerry, and drawing new fans to his work. It was such a success that he returned for the series finale. And he went on to appear on ‘Seinfeld’ co-creator Larry David’s ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’
“So sad to hear that we’ve lost the great Philip Baker Hall,” director Greg Mottola said on Twitter. “I had the sublime pleasure of working with him twice. A fantastic actor, a lovely man, and nobody made Larry David break on camera as much as Phil. RIP”
Holly Wolfle Hall, the actor’s wife of nearly 40 years, on Monday said Hall died Sunday surrounded by loved ones in Glendale, California. Hall had apparently been well until a few weeks earlier, and spent his final days in warm spirits, reflecting on his life.
“His voice at the end was still just as powerful,” said Wolfle Hall, remarking that he’d never retired from acting.
He’s a huge loss to the community and to the world in general, and he’ll be sorely missed.
Burt Reynolds, a Hollywood legend who dominated screens in the ’70s and ’80s with films like “Smokey and the Bandit,” has died. He was 82.
The actor’s manager confirmed his death to The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that Reynolds passed away on Thursday morning at a hospital in Jupiter, Florida. No cause of death was given.
Reynolds became a household name after starring in hits including “Smokey” (and its two sequels), “Deliverance,” and “The Longest Yard.” He appeared in dozens of movies and television shows throughout his long career, including “Boogie Nights,” for which he received his lone Oscar nomination (for Best Supporting Actor, losing out to winner Robin Williams), and also won a Golden Globe.
Though Reynolds was not a critical darling early on in his career, his films were wildly popular, and his winking charm wooed fans the world over. According to THR, the actor “was Hollywood’s top-grossing star every year from 1978 through 1982, equaling the longest stretch the business had seen since the days of Bing Crosby in the 1940s. In 1978, he had four movies playing in theaters at the same time.”
He costarred (and memorably bantered) with some of the biggest actresses of his generation, including Sally Field (in “Smokey”); Candice Bergen (in 1979’s “Starting Over”); Dolly Parton (in 1982’s “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”); Goldie Hawn (in 1982’s “Best Friends”); and Julie Andrews (in 1983’s “The Man Who Loved Women”). And he caused a stir with his famous nearly-nude 1972 Cosmopolitan centerfold spread, in which he posed seductively atop a bearskin rug.
In 2015, the actor released a memoir, “But Enough About Me,” in which he admitted he had some regrets about some of the choices he made in his filmography. But Reynolds also noted that he was overall quite happy with his life and career.
“I always wanted to experience everything and go down swinging,” the actor wrote. “Well, so far, so good. I know I’m old, but I feel young. And there’s one thing they can never take away: Nobody had more fun than I did.”
Reynolds was previously married to British actress Judy Carne from 1963 to 1966, and actress Loni Anderson from 1988 to 1993. He’s survived by a son, Quinton, who he adopted with Anderson.
