Let Him Rot: Harvey Weinstein Is Still Playing the Victim, and It's Only Adding to the Pain He Has Already Caused

Happy Thursday, folks!

This week, I watched War Machine, which proved to be an above-average entry in the Netflix action movie canon, led by another badass performance from Alan Ritchson, who is a true movie star if I’ve ever seen one. Patrick Hughes directed the film, which plays like Predator, had Arnold Schwarzegger been pitted against a Transformer. More on Arnold below, by the way…

The first half of War Machine actually works better than the second, but this is pretty much everything a streaming movie should be in the year 2026. Debuting atop Netflix’s movie charts, War Machine continues producer Todd Lieberman’s hot streak following The Housemaid, the MGM+ series Robin Hood, and the Amazon documentary Soul Power. Nice going…

Speaking of action movies, Sylvester Stallone has agreed to serve as an executive producer on the upcoming Rambo prequel starring Noah Centineo. It’s nice that Lionsgate got Stallone’s blessing and everything, but I do wonder how much it cost the studio…

Tonight, I’m going to check out A24’s sonic horror movie Undertone, and when I get home, I’ll probably continue watching Nicole Kidman’s Amazon series Scarpetta. While I didn’t receive any screeners ahead of time — which is unusual — I did finish reading Patricia Cornwell’s first Kay Scarpetta novel, Postmortem, which clearly serves as the basis for Season 1 of the show.

So far, Scarpetta is okay, but nothing special, I have to be honest. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why I wasn’t sent screeners, ha!

Tonight’s top story concerns the Hollywood Reporter’s recent interview with Harvey Weinstein, which you should probably read before scrolling further.

There are also items about the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan the Barbarian, a Bon Jovi biopic, James Wan’s new crime film at Paramount, Mike Flanagan’s new TV deal, Tessa Thompson’s latest indie movie, and a look at the trailer for Guy Ritchie’s action thriller In the Grey starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill.
