Justice is swift, but truth takes time. In the heart of London, an anonymous call draws two detectives into a fight to correct an old miscarriage of justice. That’s the premise for Apple TV+’s new crime thriller “Criminal Record,” a new eight-episode, one-hour drama from BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (“Vera,” “Indian Summers”). The series stars Academy Award winner Peter Capaldi and Critics Choice Award nominee Cush Jumbo.

James Gunn is no stranger to superhero success. The director’s two “Guardians of the Galaxy” films for Marvel Studios are among the most commercially successful in the MCU catalog. Now, Warner Bros. hopes some of Gunn’s magic will rub off on one of their DC Films properties that’s right up the director’s alley: cinemagoers’ favorite group of villainous oddballs, “The Suicide Squad.”

The Squad’s first foray in the DC Extended Universe, David Ayer‘s “Suicide Squad” from 2016, wasn’t exactly met with the enthusiasm Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. and DC Films have had a lot of false starts. Take “Suicide Squad,” from director David Ayer. That film was so poorly received that WB decided to reboot the entire franchise. It came at a fortuitous time for the studio: James Gunn had just been temporarily fired from “Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3” and in a big coup, Warner’s was able to get him to switch teams.

One of the greatest writers in history, Charles Dickens will now have another one of his books turned into a film in the form of “The Personal History of David Copperfield.” The director, Armando Iannucci, best known for his film “The Death Of Stalin” as well as directing the British TV series “I’m Alan Partridge,” is now bringing the vision of Dickens to life with what was probably one of his best books, “David Copperfield.”

If you’re a fan of superhero films, you can’t help but be a bit mixed about the upcoming James Gunn film “The Suicide Squad.” Sure, the film has Gunn’s name all over it, and he’s proven his worth with his two ‘Guardians’ films over at Marvel. But this is still ‘Suicide Squad’ and David Ayer and Warner Bros.

The first domino of the fall festival season has dropped with the announcement that Armando Iannucci’s “The Personal History of David Copperfield” is set to open the 63rd BFI London Film Festival on Oct. 2. What’s noteworthy about “David Copperfield’s” premiere is that it is strictly a “European” one meaning its world premiere should occur at either the Telluride or Toronto International Film Festivals in September. Considering Iannucci’s last film, “The Death of Stalin,” debuted at TIFF in 2017, we’re betting on the later.

Early word on 2014’s “Paddington” was tentative at best. The live-action/CGI revival of the iconic British children’s character, created by Michael Bond (who passed away sadly this year) gave off a slight early whiff of “Garfield” or “Marmaduke,” had a rather unpromising early trailer, and even spawned the Creepy Paddington meme in advance of its release.

But when Paul King‘s film arrived, it proved to be a delight: a near-Pixar level of family entertainment with big laughs, a gigantic heart, real cinematic magic, and an utterly vital message about refugees.

When “Paddington” was released in 2014, it didn’t get much fanfare in the US. The film didn’t have a massive opening weekend that everyone wrote about. However, with an incredible 98% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film wound up powering toward a domestic total of $76 million and a worldwide gross of $268 million. Those numbers ensured we’d see a sequel.

Now, with the trailer just released for the upcoming “Paddington 2,” viewers are getting a taste of what they’ll see in the new project.
