John Travolta will make his directorial debut with PROPELLER ONE-WAY NIGHT COACH. The film will have it’s World Premiere at the 79th Cannes International Film Festival.

Following its premiere, Propeller One-Way Night Coach will make its global debut on Apple TV on May 29, 2026.

Nearly 30 years ago, this passion led him to write and illustrate a book for all ages for his son. Inspired by John Travolta’s childhood memories, from his first airplane flight to the unforgettable people and stories he has collected over the years, the story unfolds as a nostalgic journey set in the golden age of aviation.

Young airplane enthusiast Jeff (played by newcomer Clark Shotwell) and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime. Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (played by Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers, and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy’s future.

With three films that were presented at the Festival de Cannes, Pulp Fiction (1994) and She’s So Lovely (1997) in Competition, and Primary Colors (1998) Out of Competition, a Palme d’Or, two time Academy Award nominee and three time Golden Globe and Emmy winner, John Travolta has established himself as an iconic figure in pop culture, thanks to cult classics such as Saturday Night Fever (1977), Grease (1978), Blow Out (1981) and Hairspray (2007).

Alongside an eclectic filmography of more than 70 films spanning half a century, the 72-year-old actor has a long-standing passion: aviation. As a child, he loved watching planes take off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport, near his home. He began flying at just 15 years old, obtained his first pilot’s license at 22, and has since earned numerous certifications: John Travolta is certified to fly Boeing 707s, 737s, and 747s, Bombardier’s Global Express and was the first private pilot to fly an Airbus A380. With over 9,000 flight hours under his belt, the actor has also owned several aircraft for many years and even flew planes in two movies: Look Who’s Talking (1989) and Broken Arrow (1996).

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE – Review

April brings those showers, which may bring May flowers, and bring big box office returns for the movie studios. That’s because one of Pixar’s biggest rivals, Illumination Animation, is joining them in getting a two-month head start on the race for the usual Summer cartoon feature crown. Before Ryan Gosling blasted into space, Pixar’s HOPPERS ruled the multiplex. Now this new flick isn’t another entry in Illumination’s almost unlimited franchise DESPICABLE ME, nor those MINIONS. The studio has acquired some notable IPs, mainly the literary library of Dr. Seuss. But its biggest “get” was the deal with Nintendo, which spawned a worldwide ticket-buying tsunami almost three years ago. And so it’s no huge surprise that those heroic pumbers and their pals have returned in THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE. Game on…

This one begins in a different world as Princess Rosalina (voice of Brie Larson) is getting the glowing star-like creatures called Lumas ready for bed (after a story, of course). But the “quiet time” is shattered by the arrival of a hulking robot/tank outside the castle. After a valiant effort, Rosalina is captured by the operator of the “war machine”, Bowser, Jr. (Benny Safdie). But one of the frightened Lumas manages to escape. Meanwhile, in the Mushroom Kingdom, those Brooklyn-born brother plumbers, Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day), are “on call”, along with a new assistant, the green baby-dinosaur-like creature Yoshi (Donald Glover), who can swallow almost anything and discharge it through his body in an egg. Mario’s a bit preoccupied since the big birthday celebration for Princess Peach (Anja Taylor-Joy) is later that day (he wants to give her a parasol and …his heart). The party is crashed by the escaped Luma, who tells them of the attack by Bowser’s son. Peach decides to mount a rescue of her “long lost” sister (they separated when Peach was a toddler), but they’ll need to bring along an unlikely ally, the now imprisoned and minaturized Bowser, Sr. (Jack Black). But can he really be trusted? And can this motley crew, including the mushroom Toad (Keegan Michael-Key), find Rosalina before Bowser, Jr. drains her of her magic energy, despite the addition of a new ally, the swashbuckling space pilot Fox McCloud (Glen Powell) and his flying squad?

Well, as is said with many sequels and franchise installments, if you enjoyed the first one, you’ll probably like this one (I suppose you could also say that about fast food spots, really). I wish I could work up more enthusiasm (mine is easy to “curb”), but I haven’t been part of Mario’s world since dropping many, many quarters in various arcade devices right after college (you can probably guess the year). And this flick feels as though you’re standing over somebody’s shoulder who is very…uh… proficient with the joystick (I’m stifling a “heh. heh.”) But then the youngsters love to watch countless streaming videos of folks racking up the big “scores’ on the games. So, this will easily satisfy the legions of fans, but there’s little to hook those “uninitiated”. Mind you, from an animation aficionado’s viewpoint, the look of the movie is pretty spectacular, packed to the brim with colors and bursting effects that seem to break out of the big screen. The script is just so-so, with most of the best lines going to Black and Safdie as the “Bowser bunch”. The returning voices are on the same level as the 2023 original. The new additions aren’t given much of a chance to shine, as Larson is in her MCU mode, while Powell is a more energetic “space jockey (think a younger “harrier” Han Solo). There are a couple of “name” cameos (Luis Guzman and Issa Rae), but I was pleased about a few cartoon voice vets who scored big roles, namely Kevin Michael Richardson as the wizard-like Kamek. The same trio of directors also returns, stuffing the film to the brim (and spilling over a bit) with settings and side characters, some extremely sweet (my teeth) and cute, from the popular game series, so the wee ones will be engaged, while the near-nonstop bouncing and frenetic stunts might pummel the “civilians” into slumber. I can respect the craft, though it all feels like an effort to re-energize the “brand” while not trying to expand its scope. But why am I kvetching, since it should swiftly zip past the billion-dollar box office mark, with another epic already being planned? Still, it would be nice if it grabbed us in the “feels” like those “returning soon” toys and those HOPPERS. While those die-hard players will give it unlimited stars, I can only muster up…

Sometimes the wrong place is right where you need to be.

From Will Packer, the blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office—including Night School, This Christmas and Think Like a Man—comes a delicious romantic comedy about one little lie, one large Italian villa, and two people getting lost in the sauce of love.

Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid, The Color Purple) stars as Anna, a young woman who has abandoned her dreams of becoming a chef and is now drifting through her twenties with a series of bad choices. When Anna loses her house-sitting job (and housing) in one fell swoop, a chance encounter with Matteo—a handsome Italian who happens to have a villa sitting empty in Tuscany—will inspire her to jet off for Italy, against the advice of her always-honest bestie, Claire (Home Before Dark’s Aziza Scott).

But Anna’s plan to crash at Matteo’s villa, without permission, just for one night, falls apart when Matteo’s mother, Gabriella (Italian film icon Isabella Ferrari) shows up at the house unexpectedly. In a panic, Anna allows Gabriella to believe that she is Matteo’s fiancée.

That little lie becomes a big problem, though, when Matteo’s cousin, Michael (Regé-Jean Page; Bridgerton, Black Bag) shows up, and Anna discovers that the heat between them may ignite a fire that will transform her life.

The film’s international cast includes Lorenzo de Moor (The Legend Hunters) as Matteo, Marco Calvani (The Four Seasons) as an Italian taxi driver who befriends Anna and Academy Award® nominee Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) as Anna’s house-sitting client, Mrs. Dunn.

You, Me & Tuscany is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kat Coiro (Marry Me, Matlock), from a screenplay by Ryan Engle (Rampage, Beast), based on an original idea by Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle. The film is produced by Will Packer (Girls Trip, Ride Along films) and Johanna Byer (Point Blank, executive producer Praise This) for Will Packer Productions. The executive producers are Ryan Engle and Kristin Engle.

ANDRE IS AN IDIOT – Review

Sundance award winning documentary ANDRE IS AN IDIOT is a hilarious, remarkably entertaining and ultimately touching documentary film about a smart, creative, funny person, Andre Ricciardi, with wild salt-and-pepper frizzy hair and 1000 watt smile, who is also an idiot. Andre says it himself. So, why is Andre an idiot? For not getting a colonoscopy when he turned fifty. A year later, when he did get one, he got shocking news: cancer, stage 4. A documentary about someone with terminal cancer is not something you expect to be described as “hilarious” but that was part of Andre Ricciardi’s goal with ANDRE IS AN IDIOT, which won the Audience Award for Best U.S. Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered.

Andre Ricciardi wanted to make a film as a warning about the importance of getting a colonoscopy, but he didn’t want it to be something he wouldn’t want to watch himself – something sad, serious and emotional. Instead, director Tony Benna crafted a film that told Andre’s story Andre’s way, with crazy humor and creativity, and wonderful claymation animation, as well as with honesty and heart. Ultimately, ANDRE IS AN IDIOT is touching too but you won’t be sorry you took this journey.

The result is one of the most surprising and entertaining documentaries you will ever see, and one of the year’s best films so far, as well as something uniquely Andre. ANDRE IS AN IDIOT introduces us to this creative, funny, honest Andre, tells us his story and then lets Andre takes us along on his last journey. The story of this intriguing, charismatic fellow is told through photos and footage, interviews with Andre, his wife, their two daughters, his brother, his friends and others, and especially through wonderful claymation, stop-motion animation.

Although Andre approaches everything with humor, he is smart, clear-eyed and honest about his situation. His motto used to be “no cops, no doctors” but he amended it to “some doctors.” Treatment is about gaining more time, especially with his teen-aged daughters, rather than a cure, but he still is going to do everything on his own terms, including planning a final yell as he leaves this world, “So long, suckers.” The documentary also includes glimpses of his discussions with his therapist and moments when he drops the humor in favor of introspection, although humor is a big part of just how he interacts with the world.

We hear about Andre’s happy marriage, which actually began as a “green card” marriage but turned into a real one, about his life, his kids and his friends. Hearing versions of stories, or just about Andre, from his brother, his wife, his kids, his friends, sometimes has a “Rashomon” aspect to it, with Andre and other people each telling the story their own way. One thing is constant: Andre has plenty of charisma, a unique view, and a determination to do things his own way.

The animation sequences are a special delight, creative and appealing joy, something that really helps make this film as enjoyable as it is. Things more “medical” that might be uncomfortable to see are shown in animation and with a comic slant. In between those animated sequences, we hear from his friends and family, and get footage of quirky Andre just being himself as he goes about life.

“Unique” and “creative” are two words nearly everyone uses to describe Andre. The smart, multi-talented Andre was someone who could have done anything in life. What he did do was have a career as an advertising creative. “Advertising!” says Andre. “Who does that?” That quote from the film gives a taste of Andre’s playful personality. Making this documentary seems a very Andre thing to do, judging by what people say about him in this film and what we see on screen – make a movie about his final journey, as a cautionary tale to others not to be an idiot and get a colonoscopy but tell his story with humor, honesty, and his own style.

The result is one of the funniest movies you will see, and a documentary about a remarkably unique individual. ANDRE IS AN IDIOT is both a cautionary tale / public service announcement but also a fascinating, highly entertaining biographical documentary about one unique, creative, funny person who deserved more time on this planet. This impressively good film is not one you will regret seeing.

ANDRE IS AN IDIOT opens in theaters on Friday, Mar. 27, 2026.

A MAGNIFICENT LIFE – Review

We’re still officially a couple of months away from the big Summer movie season, so it’s interesting that one of its staples, the animated feature film, is having quite a successful 2026 (at least the first quarter). After the sports-themed smash from Sony, GOAT, Pixar is scoring (another sports term) big with HOPPERS. It’s still in the top five, a win (again) after their last few original (non-sequel) projects have fizzled. So, now let’s turn to a subject more familiar to the “art house”. Those mentioned flicks are in the usual cartoon genre of slapstick “funny animal” comedy. This week’s wide (select theatres, for sure) is in the “biopic” genre, a nonfiction animated film. It’s not a first as FLEE garnered three Oscar noms five years ago, and 2007’s PERSEPOLIS was a critical hit. Ah, but here’s a twist: the focus here is on a moviemaker, a writer-turned-director. And though he had his struggles, you will probably agree that this man lived A MAGNIFICENT LIFE.

The man in question is French stage and screen icon Marcel Pagnol. We first meet him close to the end of his career, when he “fell out of fashion” in the early 1960s. His latest play isn’t “putting butts in the seats”. After a party, he goes to his opulent home to “tinker” with another of his “perpetual motion machines”. His work is interrupted by the maid, who informs him that a messenger has arrived to pick up his autobiographical piece for a publisher. Ah, he sees that the carrier’s bike needs fixing, so he sends down some tools to “stall” him. Luckily, Marcel’s “muse” finally appears, a “memory-ghost” of himself as a boy of nine or ten. The lad guides him through his life, growing up near Marseille, clashing with his papa over a career pursuit while adoring his mother, who is taken from him far too soon. Eventually, Marcel teaches Latin at the local grade school, but he yearns to be a writer for the stage. After marrying, he and his new bride are swept up by the delights of Paris, where Marcel tries to get his work into a theatre. After returning to teaching, he’s given a chance, though his marriage crumbles. Eventually, Marcel is tapped by the budding local film industry and soon becomes a director and a studio head, opening a facility near his hometown. Over the years, he bonds with the famed actor Raimu, deals with the Nazi invasion in WWII, and begins a new romance with a lovely young actress. The memories fuel his pen, but can Marcel finish his tome before the delivery boy rings the doorbell to collect this rushed memoir?

It’s truly appropriate that the story of this wonderful artist is told by another wonderful artist, master filmmaker Sylvain Chomet. He adapted Pangol’s memoirs for this engaging screenplay. It’s another aspect of his considerable talents, displayed in this, his third animated feature film after the Oscar-nominated gems, THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE (so delightful) and THE ILLUSIONIST (almost a comedy from the silent era). Let’s hope this isn’t the final entry in a “trilogy”, as he is one of the best artisans continuing the glories of classical 2D “line-drawn” feature-length animation. Yes, there’s some stunning work in CGI out there, but it’s refreshing to see these detailed line renderings brought to swirling life. Chomet evokes the history of historical caricature in his interpretation of these giants of French cinema, in front of and behind the camera. There’s even a touch of puppetry, as the heads are slightly out of proportion to the bodies, much like marionettes. This captures the emotions, since there’s not the manic action of most animation (a criticism from some), but the superb physical acting, especially the gestures and body language, really immerses us in the Pangol legacy. And yes, there’s a bit of computer tweaking with props and backdrops, and a couple of funny animals (who look and behave like, well, animals), but this stretches and expands the medium. Chomet also evokes the era by bringing the Art Deco-style magazine imagery of the 1920’s. And, there’s also the clever use of the real live-action footage when we see Pangol’s work on a movie screen or an editing device. Kudos also to the excellent vocal performances, led by Laurent Laffite as the adult Marcel. In short, Chomet and his army of artisans create a magnificent and moving tapestry of A MAGNIFICENT LIFE. Or should I be brief and just say “Magnifique”?

Oscars Ceremony Moving To L.A. Live In 2029

Conan O’Brien hosts the 98th Oscars® at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 15, 2026.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and AEG announce a landmark multi-year partnership that includes L.A. LIVE becoming the new home of the Oscars®, beginning with the 101st Oscars ceremony in 2029 and continuing through 2039. The Oscars ceremony will be held in the venue currently known as Peacock Theater.

AEG – the leader in sports and live entertainment and the developer and owner of some of the world’s most iconic venues – owns and operates L.A. LIVE, the internationally renowned 23-acre/4-million-square-foot sports and entertainment district in downtown Los Angeles adjacent to Crypto.com Arena.

As part of this partnership, AEG will undertake comprehensive enhancements to the theater, including upgrades to its stage, sound and lighting systems, lobbies, backstage facilities and additional production-critical areas. AEG will collaborate closely with the Academy to incorporate bespoke design elements needed to accommodate the Oscars ceremony. 

Additionally, L.A. LIVE’s recently expanded plaza will host red carpet arrivals and activities, and the theater will be the first venue to host the Oscars when it becomes available on YouTube through an exclusive global rights deal with the Academy, which also begins in 2029.

“We are thrilled to partner with a global powerhouse like AEG. Their track record for building and operating technologically sophisticated live performance venues is unrivaled,” said Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor. “For the 101st Oscars and beyond, the Academy looks forward to closely collaborating with AEG to make L.A. LIVE the perfect backdrop for our global celebration of cinema, both for our live in-theater audience and for film fans around the world.”

“L.A. LIVE was built to host the moments that define culture, and there is no greater global stage than the Oscars,” said Todd Goldstein, Chief Revenue Officer, AEG. “We’re proud to partner with the Academy to reimagine what the Oscars can look and feel like in the years ahead. Together, we will create an environment that celebrates creativity, honors excellence, and delivers an unforgettable experience for movie fans everywhere.”

Since the opening of Crypto.com Arena (formerly STAPLES Center) in 1999 and L.A. LIVE in 2007, the collection of venues, hotels (including The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott), restaurants, clubs and numerous hospitality spaces have hosted thousands of sports and entertainment events.

The Oscars will continue to be held at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide through the 100th Oscars in 2028.
