Sofia Coppola is a director who has remained seemingly hidden throughout her career, yet her work has always held its head a little higher than the rest. With only six feature films under her belt, Coppola has definitely established an incredibly significant style that is purely her own. Simply making films that she wants to make and channeling something completely different than any other director working, Coppola has always managed to shine a little brighter than the rest. Since her most recent film, "The Beguiled," releases this week, we decided to take a brief stroll through the career of Sofia Coppola.

For this week's main review, Josh Williams and I take a look at Edgar Wright's new film, the action/musical "Baby Driver" starring Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jaime Foxx, Lily James & Jon Hamm. Wright has now made 5 films and so far 4 of those 5 have been tremendous in their execution and entertainment. Does "Baby Driver" make him 5 for 5?

Judd Apatow is a name that carries quite a bit of weight in the world of cinema. Whether you love him or you hate him, when you hear his name, a reaction is almost instantly sparked. He has remained on top of the romantic comedy genre ever since "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" in 2005. Though it seems clear that Apatow has mastered the romantic comedy, he hasn’t necessarily received a good amount of awards attention. Some of his films get some screenplay attention here and there but that is about as far as it goes. Apatow has never really garnered any large scale awards attention but with "The Big Sick" releasing very soon, that could all change.

When looking at the big picture, there has never been a greater time to be a Star Wars fan. There are movies coming out every year, all media (Novels, comic books, tv shows, video games) all work together to tell one canonical story, and Star Wars fandom has made it through the “dark ages” that made up 1999-2005. Although each film has its own detractors, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” were both massive hits financially and critically and all signs point to Rian Johnson’s “The Last Jedi” being a hit. With all of that in mind, yesterday’s news that Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired during the final weeks of the young Han Solo project has rocked me to the core. I’m now officially worried about the future of Star Wars movies.

In an exclusive story by Variety, it appears Daniel Day-Lewis has shocked the Hollywood community once again. And no, it is not due to one of his many awe inspiring performances but instead to the news that his acting career is no more. Click below for the full story.

The team behind the wildly successful “Sherlock” series on BBC will be reteaming to tackle the Bram Stoker classic, “Dracula.” Though completely different genres, it makes sense that Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat would tackle the 1897 property. Whether it be the modern day versions of characters or actually adapting the character in their original time (i.e. the “Abominable Bride” episode of “Sherlock”), the “Sherlock” team is likely to find success again here.
