The Curious Career of Mercedes McCambridge. Top Story - October 2024. Content Warning.
The story goes that attending an open audition for the part of Sadie in All the King's Men (1949), Mercedes McCambridge got angry. Whilst waiting for her chance, she grew appalled with the treatment of the candidates being herded in and out of the office. She went in to meet the director furious and gave Robert Rossen a piece of her mind. She got the part, there and then, by unintentionally giving Rossen the rough edges and passion of the Sadie he wanted. For that role, her first feature film role, she went on to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Movies of the 80s: Federico Fellini and Woody Allen in 1980
In researching Federico Fellini's 1980 film, City of Women, a lesser known piece of Fellini's canon, I stumbled upon a quote that I cannot find anywhere else that illustrates, apparently, that Federico Fellini hated Woody Allen, well before hating Woody Allen became a universal feeling. I have searched high and low for other sources regarding Fellini's feelings about Woody Allen but nothing on Google or other search engines returns any results regarding Fellini having negative feelings towards Allen before it became common cause.

Caddo Lake's Family Tree Explained. AI-Generated.
Although the Lang family tree in Caddo Lake is nearly as perplexing as the film's chronology, it is also crucial to the main plot point of the thriller. The entire movie was about a single family and the historical journeys of a few of its members, as the film's conclusion made evident. Regretfully, it is difficult to tell which characters are related to one another and which are not due to Caddo Lake's convoluted timeline. However, those familial ties play a significant role in Caddo Lake, which is why it received an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Top 10 Movies About Insomnia and Sleep Deprivation: The Sleepless Thrillers You Can't-Miss
Insomnia and sleep deprivation have been central themes in many films, portraying how sleeplessness can distort reality, amplify fear, and erode mental health. Be it psychological thrillers like "Fight Club" and "The Machinist," in which insomnia was implemented in forcing the characters into paranoia and self-destruction, or horror classics like "A Nightmare on Elm Street," where staying awake becomes a matter of survival, most of these movies portray the extreme, profound effects of sleeplessness. Whether it is fear, guilt, or possibly grief, these films take the audience all the way down into the rather unsettled world of a sleep-deprived mind.

Terrifier 4: Will It Happen?. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Will Art the Clown return to wreak havoc in Terrifier 4? Damien Leone's Terrifier 3 brought the already gory slasher franchise to new, disgusting lows. The coulrophobic slasher has served as the focal point of the director's entire filmography, and Art the Clown, which made its debut with the publication of Leone's 2008 short film, The 9th Circle, has since grown into a legitimate pop culture phenomenon. The Terrifier film series is incredibly famous among horror fans due to its straightforward yet effective execution, which avoids the intellectual horror of the 2010s and '20s, even though it may not be reinventing the wheel when it comes to blood and guts.
