Talented Filmmakers created by Edgar Wright is worth watching since he’s one of the most talented filmmakers working today. However, this stands out as his greatest film in my opinion. It brilliantly blends the soundtrack with the narrative and is filled with symbolism that becomes more noticeable with multiple viewings. The performances are outstanding, featuring some of the finest actors around, including Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, and Ansel Elgort. As mentioned, the music plays a huge role in the film—whether it’s backing up an action-packed moment or adding depth to a quieter scene. The car chases are beautifully shot, making it feel like outmaneuvering the police in a high-speed pursuit is completely possible. The story is packed with surprises and sharp turns, and it absolutely deserves every bit of praise it gets.

This trilogy is what first pulled me into film and the entertainment industry as a whole. Andy Serkis truly reigns as the master of performance capture, and it’s clear across all three installments. To me, everything about this series is remarkable. The story is both gripping and heartbreaking — who would have thought audiences could grow so attached to digital apes? Yet the entire world came to love Caesar and his community. Only Andy Serkis could breathe new life into a dormant franchise and elevate it beyond its original run.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is probably the weakest entry, mainly because it serves as the origin story: introducing the virus that devastates humanity and setting up Caesar’s beginnings. When Matt Reeves took over as director for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the series reached new heights. He managed to achieve what many consider impossible — delivering a sequel that surpassed an already outstanding film. Reeves returned once more for War for the Planet of the Apes and somehow topped himself again, which almost never happens in franchises.

This is one of the rare series that consistently improved with each chapter. I believe it concluded perfectly, and adding a fourth film would only diminish the impact of its ending.

Talented Filmmakers created by directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller is consistently outstanding. Comedy is often considered the most difficult genre to pull off, yet these two make it look effortless thanks to their sharp talent and humor. They’ve delivered modern gems like 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and The Lego Movie. They stand among the finest comedic Talented Filmmakers working today, and whenever their names are attached to a project, you can almost guarantee it will be top-tier.

Talented Filmmakers were originally slated to direct Solo: A Star Wars Story, they parted ways with Disney due to creative disagreements. Still, their signature tone and energy can be felt throughout the film. Their influence lingers on every project they touch, whether they’re behind the camera or not. Lord and Miller always pour immense care into their work, creating films that appeal to both younger audiences and adults alike. Their more mature comedies, like 21 and 22 Jump Street, remain some of the funniest movies in recent memory. Looking ahead, their upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has already been hailed as 2018’s standout animated film—an impressive accomplishment in itself.

Streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon have made it easier than ever to enjoy both timeless classics and brand-new releases without ever leaving the comfort of your bed. Now, you can invite icons from Molly Ringwald to Scott Pilgrim into your living room and crunch your popcorn as loudly as you like without worrying about disturbing anyone!

However, with the constant flood of new movies, keeping track of all the great films can be a challenge—Talented Filmmakers some just slip under the radar and get buried under the latest blockbuster releases.

I recently returned from a trip to Sweden and Denmark, and naturally, I revisited Stockholm, where I earned my master’s degree in cinema studies back in 2019-2020. Since the Swedish capital was also the birthplace of the legendary Ingrid Bergman, it felt only fitting to bring back The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon for its seventh edition! You may have noticed a slight change in the event’s name this time. The inspiration isn’t just my trip to Stockholm: this edition will also commemorate what would have been Ingrid’s 110th birthday and, sadly, her 42nd death anniversary. On a personal note, this year also marks my 10th year of hosting blogathons. The first edition of The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon, celebrating her centennial, was actually the very first blogathon I ever organized, a full decade ago.

A glimpse of Nybroplan, where Ingrid spent her childhood. More specifically, she lived with her father in the section with the green dome—likely on the sixth floor. Dramaten, where she trained in theatre, is just a short walk from here, to the left when facing the building. You can read more about Ingrid’s hometown here.

It’s always a joy to celebrate my favorite actress (alongside Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly), an icon who captivated audiences worldwide with her extraordinary talent, charm, and unforgettable smile. This year, the blogathon will run from August 29 (Ingrid’s birthday) through August 31. While I usually wrap up on the 29th, I thought extending it to the weekend would work better.

Movies based on true events often captivate audiences, and sports films are no exception. Next Goal Wins is a sports movie inspired by a soccer team’s real-life defeat and a 2014 documentary covering the same match. Because the people involved with the American Samoa soccer team are still alive, filmmakers could speak directly with them to learn what happened to each individual while developing the story. This is a major advantage, particularly since the events occurred less than two decades ago rather than centuries ago. Firsthand accounts are invaluable in any form of storytelling.

Taika Waititi is the first thing viewers encounter in the movie, which feels abrupt and sets an uneasy tone from the start. He also provides narration throughout, which might have worked better if it had been omitted or delivered by another character. He often pushes his jokes too far; many of them fall flat and make the American Samoan characters seem foolish. They are not, of course, but the way a culture or nationality is presented matters, especially for global audiences unfamiliar with it. Life on the islands is very different from life on the mainland, and it’s surprising that Waititi’s portrayal misses that mark in several instances.

I am less stunned by the American Samoa team’s crushing 31-0 loss to Australia in the 2001 World Cup qualifier than I am by Waititi’s choice to make a soccer film that hardly focuses on soccer. The movie shows them practicing and playing, highlighting their struggles repeatedly. The central plot revolves around their desire to score a single goal, leading to the hiring of a new coach. However, the film never explores why the team members continue to play despite being considered the worst in the world.

Anyone familiar with the often confusing rules of international soccer knows that many teams must fund themselves. The American Samoa team is no exception; players maintain multiple jobs to support their participation, and employment opportunities on the island are limited. This raises the question of why they would continue rather than abandon the team. Waititi does not provide an answer. Playing soccer on an island is not implausible—compare it to the 1993 Disney film Cool Runnings, about a Jamaican bobsled team. That movie clearly communicates what motivates the characters to pursue the impossible, why they push themselves, and why they persist. Next Goal Wins, in contrast, leaves viewers wondering why anyone would remain committed to the American Samoa team, which reflects a missed opportunity in the storytelling.

As someone who has followed the Chicago Bears and watched Welcome to Wrexham, I understand loyalty to a team. Yet the motivation for sticking with the American Samoa team is not effectively conveyed in Next Goal Wins. Instead, the film focuses on Thomas Rongen (played by Fassbender), an unpopular coach sent to a team no one respects. In the movie, he becomes preoccupied with his own insecurities and drinking, overlooking the fact that the players don’t fully understand soccer. One team member, Jaiyah (Kaimana), sympathizes with him and supports him so he won’t abandon the team, while he sees her as a stand-in for his own daughter, whose phone calls he keeps missing. This subplot provides most of the character growth in the film but feels contrived. The portrayal of Coach Rongen is almost the opposite of the real man. While artistic license is expected in adaptations, Waititi’s depiction of Rongen crosses into misrepresentation.
