Despite his unique mastery of the form from a young age, Steven Spielberg has never been a particularly mysterious filmmaker. His success stories have been well-documented, from his early maverick successes like "Jaws" to his innovative blockbusters like "Jurassic Park." One other crucial ingredient to his filmmaking that Spielberg takes with him, no matter the scale, is a strong sense of identity.
Littered throughout his filmography are glimpses into his childhood psychology. "Close Encounters" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" find domestic drama within the framework of their alien sci-fi tales. Beneath the surface of his blockbusters are stories of fathers with fear of commitment, and sons looking for their place in a larger world without traditional guidance. But in Spielberg's newest, semi-autobiographical film, "The Fabelmans," the sentimentalist filmmaker will bare his soul in a way even he has never attempted before. "This film is, for me, a way of bringing my mom and dad back,...

“Boy meets girl” doesn’t exactly happen in stereotypical fashion in writer-director Steve Bailone’s “Long Weekend.” There’s no string-swelling orchestral accompaniment. Gone is a golden-hour glow haloing the protagonists’ first glances. And their meet-cute isn’t announced with an air of whimsical calamity. These star-crossed lovers’ worlds collide on an average day totally by chance in this . By tweaking each of those formulas slightly, the results are refreshing and inventive.
Bart (Finn Wittrock) has been going through a rough time. The compounding crises of his mother’s death and a tumultuous breakup have caused him to suffer a nervous breakdown. The fallout from the fracture with his ex-girlfriend forces him to move out of their idyllic Los Angeles apartment since he can’t afford the rent on his own.

Ant-Man star Paul Rudd will star in a Netflix comedy series, called Living with Yourself, on which he’ll play dual roles.
While the idea that Netflix is conjuring up another series is hardly stop-the-presses-worthy (as if that was a valid concept on the Internet), one of the streaming giant’s new comedy series, Living with Yourself, will be headlined by the size-fluid superhero of Marvel's Ant-Man movies, Paul Rudd.
Netflix scripted comedy Living with Yourself is set as an 8-episode series, headlined by Paul Rudd. The plot is described as following a man who's struggling in life, who decides to undergo a “novel treatment” that promises to make him a better person. While the patient does indeed become new and improved, he probably should have been careful about what he wished for, since the changes also reveal that he’s his own worst enemy. Thus,...
