One Battle After Another is an upcoming American black comedy film written, directed, and produced by Paul Thomas Anderson. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. The film is loosely based on Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland. It is scheduled to be released on September 26, 2025, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Premise
When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunites to rescue one of their own's daughter.
Paul Thomas Anderson (born June 26, 1970), also known by his initials PTA, is an American filmmaker. Often described as one of the most preeminent directors of his generation,[a] his accolades include a BAFTA Award, and nominations for eleven Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and a Grammy Award. He is also the only person to have won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and the Silver and Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
Anderson's films are often psychological dramas characterized by depictions of desperate characters and explorations of dysfunctional families, alienation, loneliness, and redemption, alongside a bold visual style that uses constantly-moving camera shots and long takes. After his directorial debut, Hard Eight (1996), he had critical and commercial success with Boogie Nights (1997), and received further accolades with Magnolia (1999) and Punch-Drunk Love (2002). His fifth and sixth films were There Will Be Blood (2007) starring Daniel Day-Lewis, and The Master (2012) starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. They were followed by Inherent Vice (2014), Phantom Thread (2017) and Licorice Pizza (2021). His next film, One Battle After Another, will be released in 2025.
Anderson is noted for his collaborations with cinematographer Robert Elswit, costume designer Mark Bridges, composers Jon Brion and Jonny Greenwood, and several actors. He has directed music videos for artists including Fiona Apple, Haim, Aimee Mann, Joanna Newsom, Michael Penn, Radiohead and the Smile. He also directed the documentary Junun (2015) and the short music film Anima (2019).

The Snowman
2017
5.5/10
This came up in my recommendations a couple of months ago and I watched it last night on the road on Netflix. The preview had caught my attention.
It’s a psychological, crime thriller with minimal suspense. The film is a slow burn but is interesting enough to keep you looking at the screen due to great cinematography work showing how cold and desolate areas of Norway is during the winter time.
The film has an all-star cast of recognizable actors from well known series/films over the past 20 years. There is a number of recognizable actors from the MCU. It was interesting seeing Fassbender and James D’Arcy together in one scene. There is a Marvel comic Easter Egg with Fassbender shouting out a minor character’s first name “Magnus”.
Overall, the film somewhat plays out like Fassbender’s “The Killer”, except this is slow pace. Not really a good film to watch if you suffer from Movie ADHD.
Synopsis
For Detective Harry Hole, the death of a young woman during the first snowfall of winter feels like anything but a routine homicide. His investigation leads him to "The Snowman Killer," an elusive sociopath who continuously taunts Hole with cat-and-mouse games. As the vicious murders continue, Harry teams up with a brilliant recruit to try and lure the madman out of the shadows before he can strike again.

Lady of the Manor

4.5/10
I watched this film this morning at home on Paramount+. I watched it mainly cuz I have been going thru my future ex-wife, Melanie Lynskey’s film catalog.
It’s an independent comedy film with a premise that has been done a number of times over the past 80+ years.
It’s not LOL funny, but somewhat humorous. Melanie does a good job playing a slacker, ex-MJ dealer. The film has a number of recognizable co-stars in minor roles.
For the Thirsty, Melanie looks like shit thru-out the film. The movie was filmed shortly after she gave birth to her first kid, so she still has the preggo thickness that she still has today. The body she had on “Two and Half Men” is long gone. She does wear a couple of outfits displaying the fullness of her big natural DD milk filled boobs. Good cleavage shots and boobs hanging low in dress’ are shown.
For the Militants, Melanie is somewhat attracted to a male co-star. Nothing is shown.
Overall, it’s an entertaining film. If you looking for something to watch with your girl, this will do.
There is a blooper reel played during end credits roll.
Synopsis
Past and present collide when slacker Hannah gets hired to portray Lady Wadsworth -- a Southern belle from the 1800s -- for tours at Wadsworth Manor. Hannah figures she can fake it well enough, until the ghost of Lady Wadsworth appears and tells her it's time to change her wild ways -- or she'll haunt her forever.

Credit to Statham. He's found his lane and stays working ...
Jason Statham - Wikipedia
Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/ STAY-thəm; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor, martial artist, and producer. He is known for portraying tough, gritty, or violent characters in various action thriller films, and has been credited for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s.[1] By 2017, his films had grossed over £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion), making him one of the industry's most bankable stars.[2][3]
Statham began practising Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate recreationally in his youth while working at local market stalls. An avid footballer and diver, he was a member of Britain's national diving team and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's in various advertising campaigns.
Statham's history of working at market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Both films were commercial hits, and they helped catapult Statham to stardom.[4] He went on to play supporting roles in the American action films Turn It Up (2000), Ghosts of Mars and The One (both 2001). From 2002 to 2008, he played the title role in the first three films in the Transporter film series (2002–2008), which solidified his status as an action star. In 2003, he appeared in the ensemble heist action film The Italian Job. He went on to play leading roles in the commercially successful films Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Homefront (2013), Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), The Meg (2018), Wrath of Man (2021), Meg 2: The Trench (2023), and The Beekeeper (2024).
Statham has also starred as Lee Christmas in the ensemble action film series The Expendables (2010–2023) and as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise (2013–2023), including the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which he co-produced. His voice acting work includes the documentaries Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance (2002), Truth in 24 (2008) and its 2012 sequel, and the animated film Gnomeo & Juliet (2011).
