Addams Family Values, The Borgias and the last two Rambo movies are among the high-profile titles set to leave Netflix later this month.
The 1993 Paramount movie sequel Addams Family Values departs the streamer on Jan. 31 as Netflix’s latest take on the Addams Family, the Jenna Ortega-starring hit series Wednesday, was recently renewed for a second season.
Showtime’s historical drama, The Borgias, which ran for three seasons, from 2011-2013, and starred Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, will also exit Netflix at the end of the month.
Even before these titles vanish, Netflix is losing Peter Bogdanovich’s star-studded screwball romance She’s Funny That Way. The film starring Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Rhys Ifans, Will Forte and Kathryn Hahn, among others, will leave Netflix on Jan. 29.

As 2022 comes to a close, we here at JoBlo.com would like to take a moment to pay tribute to some of the people who sadly passed away this year. Our deepest respect goes out to everyone in the industry we have lost, and our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of those who died in 2022. These talented individuals will always be remembered for their impact on the world of film and television.
In Memory Of…
Peter Bogdanovich
When Peter Bogdanovich was twelve-years-old, he began keeping a record of every film he saw, even including reviews, a practice he kept up for decades, seeing as many as four hundred films a year. This sparked a love of movies and he was intent on becoming a director. Bogdanovich caught his break when he happened to strike up a conversation with Roger Corman at a screening, who quickly offered him a job.

Just a few months ago, Netflix appeared to be on a very rough track. Then Stranger Things season 4 came around and led to a less-apocalyptic-than-expected Q2 earnings report for the streamer. With its new releases for August 2022, however, Netflix is going to have to find another hit to keep the good vibes rolling. Here are some of their best options.
Perhaps the biggest breakout candidate for Netflix this month is The Sandman on Aug. 5. Though Neil Gaiman’s classic comic has long been thought to be unadaptable, the folks behind 10-episode series are betting they’re the ones for the job. Get ready to meet Morpheus, the king of dreams and the ruler of The Dreaming.

I finally got the chance to see Peter Bogdanovich’s last fictional feature recently at the Museum of Modern Art. Technically speaking, I saw Squirrels to the Nuts, the director’s cut of She’s Funny That Way, the title it was released under in 2014 in a heavily redacted form.1 For a movie with virtually no reputation, even among ardent cinephiles, this director’s cut turned out to be a surprisingly entertaining little movie—that is, if you were willing to accept it on its own, admittedly idiosyncratic, terms. The film is an oddity, a throwback to a 1930s screwball sensibility. This madcap farce follows a theater director played by Owen Wilson and a young call girl turned actress played by Imogen Poots whose paths cross sexually, romantically, and professionally as he commences rehearsals on a new play. But it was this old-fashioned approach, I understood immediately, that had been the...

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
This is the third episode of what we are calling The Final Frame. Here we will dissect the final film of a great, well-respected filmmaker, wrapped in the context of said filmmaker’s entire career. Our subject today: the recently departed Peter Bogdanovich. His final film: She’s Funny That Way, starring Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Kathryn Hahn, Rhys Ifans, Jennifer Aniston, Will Forte, Austin Pendleton, George Morfogen, Richard Lewis, and Cybill Shepherd. But wait! That’s only half-true! Before the half-hearted release of She’s Funny That Way, there was another version of the film. Its title? Squirrels to the Nuts. This is the cut that Bogdanovich wanted the world to see. Until the studio made him change it.

Exclusive: Rhys Ifans (Spider-Man: No Way Home) has signed on to star alongside Annette Bening and Jodie Foster in the Netflix film Nyad, which marks the narrative directorial debut of Oscar, BAFTA and Emmy winners Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.
Pic is based on Diana Nyad’s bestselling autobiography Find A Way. It follows the remarkable true story of the marathon swimmer, who, at the age of 64, became the first person to complete the “Everest of swims”—executing a 53-hour, 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida, through dangerous open ocean, without a shark cage.
Ifans is playing John Bartlett, the Florida-based boat designer and captain of the catamaran that accompanied Diana as she swam. Bartlett strategically and meticulously planned and navigated Nyad’s swim though the Florida Straits, keenly aware of the impact of weather and ocean currents on her journey.

Chicago – The work of filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich – who passed away on January 6th, 2022, at age 82 – was inspired by the cinematic language of American movies, which he interpreted through his many classic films. His most fertile and imaginative period were three movies from 1971 through 1973, which began with his masterpiece, “The Last Picture Show.”
Bogdanovich’s personal life was also the stuff of legend, and contributed to to a less inspired creative period after 1973, but he made a major comeback with “Mask” (1985) and didn’t stop there … he directed six more narrative feature films thereafter, two documentaries and seven TV movies.

Peter Bogdanovich was born too late, but also at just the right time.
The 82-year-old film critic, historian, advocate and maker, who died Thursday, first blinked his eyes in 1939, the year Alfred Hitchcock moved to Hollywood, Mr. Smith went to Washington and John Ford made “Stagecoach.” He’d surely love to have worked during the 50-year “Golden Age” he identified as 1912-1962. And though he is most closely associated with the New Hollywood movement of the late ’60s and ’70s, his filmography feels anything but modern.
Bogdanovich’s two best films, “The Last Picture Show” (1971) and “Paper Moon” (1973) were shot in black and white decades after the format had gone out of fashion — the first a poignant elegy to a tumbleweed Texas town, as seen through the eyes of its restless teenage population, the other a Depression-era road movie about a handsome grifter (Ryan O’Neal) and his precocious traveling companion...

Peter Bogdanovich, the celebrated, Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind classics like The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon, as well as a frequent actor, died Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 82. Bogdanovich’s daughter, Antonia Bogdanovich, confirmed his death, saying the director died of natural causes.
Bogdanovich began his career as a film critic and reporter before meeting producer Roger Corman, who’d been so impressed with some of his work that he enlisted him to help out on some of his films. Despite this ostensibly unconventional path into the film industry,...

Peter Bogdanovich, the actor, film historian and critic-turned-director of such classics as The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, What’s Up, Doc? and Mask, died today of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. He was 82. Family members, who were by his side, said paramedics were unable to revive him.
His daughter, writer-director Antonia Bogdanovich, said of her father: “He never stopped working, and film was his life and he loved his family. He taught me a lot.”

Video Version of this Article Photo/Video: Peter Bogdanovich During the Making of 'She's Funny That Way' with Owen Wilson/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel Silver Screen Dreams Cineastes, we are approaching the end of an era. New Hollywood, that halcyon age when directors were the benevolent potentates over their filmic fiefdoms and all was right in Tinseltown, is fast becoming a distant memory. The celluloid foliage that scatters across silver screens with each passing year serves to further relegate the once-great to the fossil record; each rolling camera creates more obscura. That elite legion of filmmakers who once made their mark mythologizing their own cinematic godfathers are now themselves being mythologized. In fact, their inheritors themselves have already begun receiving the mythology treatment, as the silver ouroboros of cinema continues to endlessly devour and digest itself. Film, the most neurotic of all art forms, is yet again facing an existential crisis.

He was an integral part of that bubble of filmmaking— late ‘60s, early ‘70s—when American films became an art form, comparable to great American novels, comparable to the redefinition of drama by the post-war playwrights. (Sort of like what cable television is doing now.) In the late 1960s the old, classic studios were moribund: anti-trust violations had decimated the monopolistic structure of Hollywood and television had hacked the audience in half almost overnight. Also, the studios were pretty much finished after the disintegration of the Star System, where studios outright...

Read More: Watch: Dysfunctional Relationships Explode in Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston Comedy 'She's Funny That Way' After spending his first 25 years in New York, Peter Bogdanovich moved to Los Angeles, where he was based when he directed "The Last Picture Show," "Paper Moon" and other '70's Americana classics. But Bogdanovich has always been a true New Yorker at heart. He returns to that city as a setting in his latest screwball comedy, "She's Funny That Way," starring Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots and Jennifer Aniston (and featuring cameos by Graydon Carter, among others). The film was originally titled "Squirrels to the Nuts" after a line from the 1946 Ernst Lubitsch romance, "Cluny Brown," which should provide a good taste of what the finished product plays like for those familiar with Lubitsch's fast-talking comedies. Bogdanovich joined Indiewire over the phone from Los Angeles about his new movie and the key contributions of.

Sounds like Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston are enjoying every second of newlywed bliss! "The Leftovers" star briefly opened up about married life while promoting Season 2 of his hit show with People on Wednesday. When asked about his new role as a husband, the sexy actor couldn't help but gush about his marriage. "It does feel different," he said about being a married man. "I'm very happy." "It's nice to be able to look down and see a new piece of jewelry on my finger," he added. The cute couple said "I do" earlier this month in front of their closest family and friends at their Bel Air home. Theroux and Aniston were joined by around 70 guests at the celebration, which took place in their sprawling backyard. Justin and Jen spent their honeymoon in Bora Bora following their intimate nuptials and Theroux has since returned to the set of the HBO series in Austin,...

Peter Bogdanovich's screwball sensibilities thankfully do not get the better of him in the absurd and kinetic She's Funny That Way. The film follows the various dramas, loves and lusts of the players of a theater production in New York, focusing on the romance and quirky scenarios that occur outside the play itself. These moments become slightly ribald and surreal set-pieces; each situation building itself up for a wrong time, wrong place cataclysm that has you in stitches at the best of times.Owen Wilson leads the pack as Arnold Albertson, a playwright with an uncanny knack for assuaging his womanizing guilt. His latest conquest sees him arrive in New York with cast and crew, including famous heartthrob and lead actor for the play Seth...

A loving father transforms into a ruthless survivalist in order to save his family from hordes of murderous pursuers in “No Escape,” a preposterous, monotonous action saga primarily notable for boasting a miscast lead and advancing a less-than-tolerant geopolitical fantasy. To say John Erick Dowdle’s film takes a negative view of its Southeast Asian setting would be an understatement, to the point that it doesn’t even explicitly denote where its action is taking place. Rather, it keeps such specifics vague until its finale, at which time it becomes slightly more obvious that Cambodia is the country being depicted as a dilapidated hellhole populated by rampaging rebels who—having staged a coup against a militaristic leader in league with European leaders—are on the lookout for Westerners, whom they view as exploiting invaders and seek to hack up with machetes.

Ready for its close-up! Jennifer Aniston's stunning, diamond-encircled wedding band, that is. The star stepped out for her first post-wedding red carpet appearance on Aug. 19, attending the Los Angeles premiere of her upcoming film She's Funny That Way in a trim black Roland Mouret jumpsuit featuring a sexy off-the-shoulder detail. The understated black number definitely allowed her gold-and-diamond band to standout, however, showcasing the custom design that Jennifer's bestie Jennifer Meyer created. (Justin—who's currently shooting The Leftovers in Austin—got a custom band from Meyer, too.) "It feels quite natural," Jen told E!'s Catt Sadler of calling her longtime...

Making her first public appearance since her wedding to Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston stepped out to plug her new flick, "She's Funny That Way" on Wednesday night (August 19) in Los Angeles.
Still beaming with that newlywed glow, the "Friends" actress looked stunning in a Roland Mouret jumpsuit, but it was her beautiful new wedding ring that drew all the attention.
The star's newest accessory is two bands of gold with a band of diamonds through the middle. When asked for wedding details by Entertainment Tonight Jen replied, "“We had the beautiful luxury of having a beautiful, private moment. And I’m going to be selfish and keep it that way.”...

Owen Wilson employed his famously crooked nose to great effect Wednesday, using it to correctly suss out the identity of a barnyard animal, while blindfolded, in a spirited game of "Nuzzle Whaaa???" on The Late Late Show.
"Nuzzle Whaaa???", which host James Corden plays with guests now and then, involves donning a blindfold and nuzzling one's face into random objects to determine what they are.
The No Escape and She's Funny That Way star, 46, played with teammate Natasha Leggero against Corden and Johnny Knoxville. After splitting the first two rounds (in which he failed to identify cotton candy), Wilson stepped...

How do you keep one of the year's biggest Hollywood weddings a total secret? You just have to want it that badly.
"Where there is a will, there is a way," Jennifer Aniston said Thursday on Good Morning America in her first televised interview since tying the knot Aug. 5 with Justin Theroux.
It helped, of course, that it was positioned as a birthday party for her fiancé.
"And it was! That was true," Aniston said. (Well, sort of. Theroux celebrated his birthday more traditionally on the honeymoon with his wife and their friends.)

Jennifer Aniston hit the red carpet for the premiere of her new film, She's Funny That Way, in La on Wednesday. She stunned in a black jumpsuit and flashed a huge grin and thumbs up while showing off her brand new wedding band; the gold ring perfectly complemented the one that her new husband Justin Theroux was spotted wearing recently. It's the first public appearance for Jen since she and Justin tied the knot last week, and she was positively glowing while posing for photos with costar Owen Wilson and director Peter Bogdanovich. After their Bel Air wedding - which was a surprise to all of their celebrity guests - Jennifer and Justin jetted off with a small group of friends for their honeymoon in Bora Bora. Just this week, we got a glimpse of Justin, Jennifer, and some of their pals paddleboarding, lounging on the beach, and doing yoga near their private villas.

This is a reprint of our review from the 2014 Venice Film Festival. If you've so much as read the headline of this review, you're probably already thinking too hard about Peter Bogdanovich's star-studded "She's Funny That Way," which is but a trifle, designed to melt in your mouth like candy floss. In fact, it goes out of its way to avoid anything that even faintly smacks of realism or meaningfulness; it just wants you to like it. Which means, of course, that knives are being sharpened. Nothing spurs critical disdain quicker than a display of eagerness to please. Odd that along with edgy, ultraviolent dramas and dense, arty auteurist exercises, one of the most divisive of genres, especially in a cinephile crowd such as here in Venice, should be the screwball comedy. Which is the long way to say that your mileage on the manic, contrived and coincidence-strewn "She's Funny That Way" may vary,...

The veteran director of "Targets" and "The Last Picture Show" pays heartfelt homage to the screwball comedies of the 40s and 50s in She's Funny That Way, whose scripted alchemy took us away from the daily grind of life for 90 delightful minutes. Isabella Patterson (Imogen Poots) is a Hollywood starlet recounting her improbable beginnings in showbiz, from reluctant escort girl to Broadway idol -- all thanks to a chance encounter that changed her career forever. One night while on night duty, Isabella meets Arnold Arnoldson (Owen Wilson), a Broadway director who helps her pursue her dreams of becoming an actress and lands her an audition for the leading role in his play. Called in by Joshua (Will Forte), the timid playwright, she has to rehearse a scene with Arnold’s wife, Delta (Kathryn Hahn), in which she is pregnant. Isabella lands the part, inspiring a long series of awkward coincidences that will involve the whole...

Well, it's finally August, and while the summer movie season isn't completely over it might as well be. This article was a difficult one to put together, because there just isn't much to recommend this month. But you know what, that's okay, I think I managed to pull together five solid titles for the "must-see" section, and lucky for us the fall festival season is just around the corner, which means things are about to heat up exponentially on the prestige movie front just in time to compensate for things cooling down outside as the seasons change. (I should note here, it is currently 106 degrees fahrenheit here in the desert, and the thought of things cooling down is marvelous, but also very premature.) We are coming off what turned out to be a pretty solid month last month, in my opinion, as I settled back into my routine after a...

★★★☆☆ Watching Peter Bogdanovich's She's Funny That Way (2014) is a somewhat bittersweet experience. It's terrific to see the great almost man return from TV movie purgatory with renewed focus to craft a lovely, quick-witted throwback with big stars on a broad canvass. But, on the other hand, one is acutely aware that the these kinds of classical Hollywood revivals by returning New Hollywood greats never make the impact they should. And the stinger is that it's not quite good enough a proposition to rally the strident auteurists to its defence like, for example, Polanski's Venus in Fur (2013) or Schrader's The Canyons (2013). It will likely be another false start for the director who has long deserved better.
