From a double shot of Kristen Stewart in love to the definitive Devo documentary — the movies we can't wait to see at this year's fest The phrase “indie film” means little to nothing now — it feels like a marker for a bygone era à la “college rock” or “backpack rap,” even if truly D.I.Y. filmmakers continue to tell stories with consumer-grade technology, scrappy microbudgets and a dream. Yet the words “Sundance movie” still carry a certain currency, whether someone is using that…

S trong jaw. Flowing hair. Megawatt smile. Effortless charisma. It’s not very difficult to see the resemblance between Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt. Kurt, 72, got his start as a child actor on TV before becoming one of Disney’s biggest contract stars in his teens — and a personal favorite of Walt Disney’s, who viewed him as “the son he never had” — a pro baseball prospect in the Seventies, an Eighties cult film icon with Escape from New York and The Thing, and then a bona fide Hollywood movie star in…

Its mash-up of genre and tone, and its ability to make absurd comic book imagery work in live-action,…

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the new anime series from Netflix, just got a trailer, promising a vibrantly stylised affair that reimagines the classic battle of the exes tale. While the art style draws heavily from Bryan Lee O'Malley's original graphic novel series, it brings back the cast from Edgar Wright's 2010 live-action film. As such, it forms a full-circle moment, though the anime format allows co-writer BenDavid Grabinski to take an ambitious leap — one that would've cost more than Avatar if Netflix were to…
