Midway through “I Play Rocky,” Peter Farrelly’s misfire of a movie about Sylvester Stallone and the making of “Rocky,” production is underway on the film that would make its lead a star. But, despite them shooting a key emotional scene, things aren’t working. Sly (Anthony Ippolito) is pulled aside by the film’s director John Avildsen (Jay Duplass) and told he needs to dig deeper in the next take. There has to be something more, Avildsen says, that this is the moment where he’ll find the “thing,” the emotional why of the entire picture. Without it, the experience — even when…

Brad Pitt seemingly had a blast attending the US Open women’s final with girlfriend Ines de Ramon. The F1 actor, 62, alternated between cuddling with de Ramon, 33, and engaging with fans in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York City, on Saturday, September 12.

Director Niki Byrne’s frustratingly melodramatic “The Julia Set” is a film that hints at complexity and nuance but often settles for the lowest common denominator in its execution. It has a lot to say but lacks the grace of easy digestion, unsure of how to move its story along without resorting to communicating its ideas in the most heavy-handed ways possible. It has a lot working for it, namely actors who are far too talented for the script they’ve been saddled with, but it all adds up to less than the sum of its parts.  I’ll confess that I had…

Anthony Ippolito was so excited to play Sylvester Stallone in a biopic about the making of “Rocky” that the up-and-coming actor shot an audition tape blindly, before he had even read a script or obtained sides. Ippolito stars as a young Stallone in Peter Farrelly’s “I Play Rocky,” which details the uphill battle to get “Rocky” made, which eventually won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 1977. One of the buzziest titles this year at the festival, Ippolito said that he initially heard about the project through a news article and decided to take a shot before anyone even…
