In 'Mr. Scorsese,' fitting a filmmaking titan into the frame

NEW YORK (AP) — Can one documentary encapsulate the life of Martin Scorsese? In the case of “Mr. Scorsese,” Rebecca Miller’s portrait of the filmmaker, no. What began as a two-hour film grew into a five-hour series for Apple TV+. Over the course of five years, Miller spent 20 hours interviewing Scorsese, while also speaking to his collaborators, friends and family to make the definitive documentary about one of the greatest living filmmakers. “Mr. Scorsese” debuts Friday on Apple TV+. It features Scorsese collaborators like editor Thelma Schoonmaker, Paul Schrader, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis. It also includes Scorsese’s children, his ex-wives and his old Little Italy pals.

Movie Review: 'Blue Moon' is a poignant, funny valentine, and Ethan Hawke has never been better

This fall brings not one but two excellent Richard Linklater films. One is set at the dawn of a great career: “Nouvelle Vague,” about Jean-Luc Godard and the birth of the French New Wave. The other takes place on the cusp of its tragic end: “Blue Moon,” about lyricist Lorenz Hart. Both are, in their way, joyous celebrations of brilliant, stubbornly uncompromising creative visionaries. And both are a grand time at the movies. “Blue Moon,” the first to arrive of the two, is one of the more sheerly delightful movies of the year, writes AP Film Writer in his review. Ethan Hawke has never been better.

Donnie Wahlberg steps into the bitter New York-Boston divide with new series, 'Boston Blue'

NEW YORK (AP) — Donnie Wahlberg is finally filming a TV series in his hometown of Boston, but he's playing a New Yorker. His character, Danny Reagan from “Blue Bloods,” moves to Boston in the new CBS spinoff, “Boston Blue.” Wahlberg, a die-hard Red Sox fan, finds himself in the middle of the New York-Boston rivalry.

He hopes to portray Boston accurately and honor the show's traditions.

In ‘Blue Moon,’ Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke's portrait of an artist

Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke have collaborated for over 30 years, but their latest film, "Blue Moon," pushed their partnership to new limits. The film, set over one night at Sardi’s, focuses on lyricist Lorenz Hart. Linklater admits he pushed Hawke hard during production. Hawke embraced the challenge, despite initial stress. The film explores Hart's complex character and his partnership with Richard Rodgers. As Rodgers moved on with Oscar Hammerstein, Hart was left behind. Linklater describes the film as a poignant reflection on artistic careers, capturing both beauty and devastation. “Blue Moon” opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday and expands next week.

Movie Review: Josh O’Connor plays an artless thief in the artful ‘Mastermind’

You've never seen an art heist film quite like Kelly Reichardt’s “The Mastermind." A terrific Josh O’Connor stars as J.B. Mooney, an unemployed carpenter, family man and bumbling art thief who's anything but a mastermind. The real mastermind here is Reichardt, writes Associated Press critic Jocelyn Noveck in her review, who has crafted a gem of a period piece, evoking 1970s Massachusetts with earth tones, rickety old cars and suburban meals of meat and potatoes. The film is less about the crime and more about the aftermath, an unremarkable man losing everything in a slow-motion tumble from grace. Opens Friday in theaters.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

NEW YORK (AP) — Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power. The refusal was near-unanimous, from trade publications, wire services, television networks and newspapers, and included outlets that appeal largely to conservatives like Fox News Channel and Newsmax. Many of the reporters chose to turn in their badges together at the 4 p.m. deadline set by the Defense Department to vacate the building. Reporters said their work will continue despite the loss of access.

Former UN Ambassador Andrew Young describes 'dirty work' of civil rights movement in new documentary

Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young settled into the role of doing the “dirty work” right away when he began working for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement — answering mail, working behind the scenes to set up marches. Now 93, Young narrates a documentary about his life, with a special emphasis on his work with King, that premieres Friday on MSNBC. For executive producer Rachel Maddow, it's not just about capturing the reflections when time is running out to speak with people who were personally involved. It's about showing Americans who want to be involved politically today the work that goes on — and the ability to overcome stiff challenges.

Movie Review: Jafar Panahi's 'It Was Just an Accident' is a darkly moving and funny look at revenge

Jafar Panahi's film "It Was Just an Accident" starts with a car breaking down in Iran, leading to a gripping story. The driver seeks help, but someone inside recognizes him as a former torturer. This sets off a tense narrative about revenge and forgiveness, says Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy. The film explores the impact of state violence and asks if forgiveness is possible. Despite being jailed and banned from filmmaking in Iran, Panahi defies the odds with this work. The film has won the Palme d’Or and is France's submission to the Academy Awards. It's a PG-13 thought-provoking movie that lingers in your mind.
