Released on VOD earlier this year, the Argentine film PERRO PERRO is the latest from Marco Berger, whose films explore the shades of masculinity. In this absurdist fable a guy adopts a mute & naked man as a pet. It works because of Juan Ramos’ superb performance as the man-dog 🐕

Starting today, a mobile billboard parodying Paramount Skydance owner David Ellison will be circling the Dolby Theater. The protest sign mockingly urges the Academy to consider David Ellison for 'Best Performance in a Puppet Show' — with Trump holding the strings. Free Press' statement:

30 years after her death, it feels like everyone knows Selena's story. But in the upcoming Netflix documentary, Selena y Los Dinos, we finally get the chance to hear her tell it. In an exclusive for Rolling Stone, I spoke with director Isabel Castro about how the film came together! bit.ly/3WC6Y17

Watching it for the second time now and Kiss of the Spider Woman really is so so special. JLo is in peak form, Diego Luna is raw and captivating, but Tonatiuh turns in one of the most powerful, heartbreaking performances of the year. In a just world, he'll have an Oscar in 2026.

Can a musical succeed when practically all of the musical numbers are underwhelming? I didn't think so ... and then I saw KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. My review's here; PCHH episode drops next week. www.npr.org/2025/10/10/n...

'Kiss of the Spider Woman' works, even when the music doesn't

Jennifer Lopez is the marquee name, but this adaptation of the Kander and Ebb Tony-winning musical belongs to Tonatiuh and Diego Luna.
