The Accidental Getaway Driver skillfully blurs the lines between gritty crime noir and a deeply personal human drama. Based on the article by Paul Kix, an elderly Vietnamese taxi driver is taken hostage after accepting a late-night job. He's thrust into a dangerous situation, but soon establishes a connection with one of his captors that transforms them both. The situation becomes increasingly dubious as everyone involved knows there can be no witnesses. The journey undertaken requires significant patience, but speaks stark truths about the burdens of past sins and confronting our failures with superb cinematography.

In Orange County, California's Little Saigon, Long Mã (Hiệp Trân Nghĩa) sits alone in his small apartment as night falls. He stares out the window as his neighbors play cards before rummaging through an empty fridge. Long decides to get a snack at a nearby supermarket in his striped pajamas. The old man ignores his cell phone,...

The day after she gave up control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon, Barbara Broccoli spent the evening with a Bond Girl, a Bond Girl who helped the MI6 agent defeat a billionaire technology and media mogul seeking global domination.

On Feb. 21, Broccoli attended a Film Academy screening of The Accidental Getaway Driver, the Sing J. Lee film on which she serves as an executive producer. Clad in a maroon velvet pantsuit and sneakers, Broccoli was joined at the hip that evening by the Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, who played the Chinese secret agent and Bond love interest Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies.

In the 1997 film Bond (played by Pierce Brosnan) partners with Wai Lin to battle the tycoon Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce), seeking to leverage his corporate empire to control the world.

It may have been ahead of its time.

When Tomorrow Never Dies was released, Amazon was an online bookstore,...

In a world of superhero movies and action extravaganzas, it's hard to find stories led by emotion and character study, and it's even harder for those films to get a wider audience to share their message with viewers. But in the case of Sing J. Lee's The Accidental Getaway Driver, it's a movie that tries to beat the odds and deliver a story with heart and a message of kindness that audiences need now more than ever. The best part is that it's a film that does it in style with a distinct visual language and powerfully emotional performances from its cast that audiences won't soon forget.

The Accidental Getaway Driver follows an elderly San Francisco taxi driver named Long (Hiệp Trần Nghĩa), who picks up a trio of men late at night on his day off. As it turns out, they are criminals who are looking for a...

There are few filmmakers working today who are as easily identified as “film buffs” quite like Edgar Wright. As a lover of classic cinema, Wright often uses his films to pay tribute to classic entries in the genre, adding references to films that are both beloved and niche. Shaun of the Dead serves as a loving homage to the George Romero era of zombie movies; Hot Fuzz pays tribute to classic buddy cop films like Lethal Weapon; The World’s End subverts expectations of the alien invasion movie; Scott Pilgrim vs. the World merges rock music with the influence of classic video games and anime. Although Wright certainly acknowledges the “getaway driver” classics that have preceded him, Baby Driver establishes itself as a new car chase classic with its destructive depiction of high-speed stunt sequences.

Waystar Royco has prevailed!

On Wednesday, January 26, the Directors Guild of America (DGA) announced its 2022 nominations for television, commercials and documentaries. Winners of the 74th annual DGA Awards will be rewarded on March 12, 2022 in a ceremony that also honors motion pictures (those noms will be announced on Jan. 27).

SEEReminder: Here’s who won last year’s DGA Awards

This year’s drama series line-up is filled out by a single show: “Succession.” That’s right, the HBO family drama earned all five spots in the category, an historic first for the guild. As for the comedy series nominees, Apple’s “Ted Lasso” earned three spots while HBO Max’s “Hacks” and HBO’s “The White Lotus” scored one apiece.

The Directors Guild of America has announced its nominations in its television categories, with “Succession” sweeping the drama-series category by landing all five nominations for different episodes.

The last time a single series swept all the nominations in the category was 1983, when “Hill Street Blues” took every slot in a category that at the time only consisted of three nominations. No program, drama or comedy, has ever swept all five nominations in a DGA Awards series category.

In the comedy series category, “Ted Lasso” took three of the five slots, with “Hacks” and “The White Lotus” taking the remaining two.

In the category devoted for TV movies and limited series, the nominees were Barry Jenkins for “The Underground Railroad,” Barry Levinson and Danny Strong for separate episodes of “Dopesick,” Hiro Murai for “Station Eleven” and Craig Zobel for “Mare of Easttown.”

Other nominees include Bo Burnham for his special “Bo...
