Melanie Lynskey's been playing American so long, people forget or never knew that she's from New Zealand.

I worked on a NZ film called THE CHANGEOVER; a friend saw it and said "Melanie's Kiwi accent was a little off", and I'm like....that is her literal speaking voice.

Taking the classics off the pedestal and engaging with them as if new: The Rules of the Game, Jean Renoir's effervescently revolutionary masterwork of life before wartime, proves even more powerful up close; coming to @ParisTheaterNYC, on @criterionchannl

We're celebrating THE GOLD RUSH's 100th at the @EgyptianLA tomorrow....on the date and at the place it premiered in 1925!

Technically sold out right now, but tickets have a way of popping back up: https://t.co/pVXpl5BMfN

[Richard Brody @tnyfrontrow]

Speaking of summer-movie anniversaries, the one that matters is Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush, which turns 100 tomorrow (at least, its release does); the self-critical artist ultimately found fault with it and took action, but its original greatness endures nonetheless:...
