THUNDERBOLTS* didn’t wow me entirely, but it salvaged itself with a strong ending that saves the movie. Read my thoughts on the ending below! 👇 🎬

I’m about to see THUNDERBOLTS*, my first proper MCU movie in two years. This is also the first time this year I’m in a packed theater house on an opening night. I seriously miss that feeling.

*sees a professionally made cat toy* “Weak stuff bro.” *sees a random rubber band in pull from a drawer* “OH HELL YEAH GIMME THAT!!”

Full review of SINNERS, the best movie of the year so far! This is one definitely worth going to the theater for! 👇👇🥰🥰 boxd.it/9rSJ1B

SINNERS is electric, intense, and a gripping old-school flick that merges genre thrills with clever commentary! It’s been a drought for excellent movies this year, but here’s a wholly original one that was MADE for the big screen experience!

Which of these are you most excited to see?

WARFARE is a brutally effective tribute to a real war veteran’s memories and team, one that you can tell was made by someone who lived these experiences firsthand. Read why in my review! 👇👇

Here are my likely controversial thoughts on SAMURAI COP, a misunderstood buddy cop action flick that was way too smart and progressive for its time! 👇👇👇 boxd.it/9idZZ5

In an age of information, the truly subversive act is to think slowly.

Still reeling over THE WOMAN IN THE YARD, not only in how Collet-Serra conjures up some of the most evocative, expressionistic imagery I've seen in ages, but in how it visualizes the internal perspective someone has when they no longer wish to live. Danielle Deadwyler is soul-crushing. Major stuff.

I had zero expectations for THE WOMAN IN THE YARD, but it completely won me over and is one of my favorite movies of the year so far! Read why in my full review! 👇👇👇

The new Nosferatu is still fresh in some people’s minds, so I took a deep dive into its main character and the sexual themes around her! 👇👇👇

Directors Arash T. Riahi & Verena Soltiz effectively, bluntly & fairly engage in discussions with women to ask a very complicated question: can feminism and religion coexist? Read @josephtomastik.bsky.social's review of GIRLS & GODS from #CPHDOX! 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ loudandclearreviews.com/girls-gods-f...

Sad to see Party City go, but I wrangled up an INSANE $44 haul with their ending sale.

I didn’t post much about the #Oscars because I was busy getting details for a full recap. Read it below! 👇 👇👇

“DeMi mOOrr LoSinG iz LitRALeee thE pLot of Da SUbbztinse.” No it’s not. She and Mikey Madison were both excellent. Either one of them would’ve deserved to win. You’re just undermining great talent to in order to cope.

Honestly, when preparing for the #Oscars and my subsequent recap article, I *almost* chose to stream it on Hulu. But I said no, I don’t want to risk it for a service whose live-streaming featuresI’m not as familiar with. Thank goodness.

If only we had a sketch about a service where you could stream movies on much bigger screens with no internet issues. Someone should do a sketch about that…

tonight’s oscar commentary on here was also a sweet reminder of how much i don’t miss film twitter.

Cancelling my YouTube TV membership requires saying “No thanks,” more often than rejecting a star in Mario Party.

Congrats to all the winners, and obviously Anora for its dominance. Now I’m off to take a break and then stay up until 2am putting my recap together. 🙃 #Oscars

No I didn’t prepare for the Oscars why would I

The #Oscars are comin’ fast. How would I rank this year’s Best Picture nominees? Find out below! 👇 👇👇

I love my new popcorn maker but it is a mess and a half after use. Also Challengers still slaps hard.

I FOR SURE find writing the synopsis first super helpful! Or even just an aspect of a movie about which I already know exactly what to say. It turns a blank canvas into simply a set of gaps I can fill in.

The first half of THE MONKEY is great blend of humor and horror. Then it becomes more mundane and loses the balance with its heightened drama. Fun enough time.

WOW, my first time ever being QUOTED!! Thank you so much MUBI for featuring my review of THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE!! 😁🙏 mubi.com/en/films/the...

You know what’s funny? The first trailer I saw for CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD actually kinda had me and almost made me wanna go… until they showed Red Hulk. Then I was like, “Oh, okay, so this just becomes another big silly Marvel movie. Eh, no thanks.”

The 2020s are halfway over, so I’ve compiled my Top 50 favorite films of the decade so far! 👇👇👇 boxd.it/Dc9Ck

My first review as a contributor to @filmspeak.net! Here's my take on HEART EYES, a hybrid of romcom and slasher that I felt didn't deliver as either.👇👇👇 filmspeak.net/movie-review...

Not a single reporter at the Superbowl asked any of the Eagles why they didn't fly the Fellowship to Mordor.

SPOILERS FOR SEVERANCE S2E4: Holy shit, that was something else entirely. Turturro was obviously amazing, but Britt Lower also deserves massive praise. I didn’t catch onto the twist in earlier episodes, but I *did* in this one *solely* from her performance and how she carried herself.

Well, I finally got to see I’M STILL HERE and have now seen all 10 of this year’s Best Picture noms. I really liked the movie! I’m not as high on it as most others, but Fernando Torres in particular absolutely gave one of my favorite performances of 2024.

Overall, this #SuperBowl was one that would’ve been boring as sin had the scores been swapped, but was fascinating to watch play out because of who exactly got stomped.

I think the Chiefs can still pull this out. #SuperBowl

It seems to me like Taylor Swift has gotten more boos than Donald Trump, which says a lot if accurate. #SuperBowl

Kendrick did the “A minor” thing, that’s pretty neat. #SuperBowl

I don’t want a cartoon fairy baby shouting at me to take a piss. #SuperBowl

I never thought a breast cancer PSA would be objectively hilarious. And yet they found a way. #SuperBowl

Okay the commercials have certainly picked up #SuperBowl

Oh also WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME JOHNNY CASH COVERED PERSONAL JESUS #SuperBowl

That feeling when the Chiefs straight-up fuck up. Wow! #SuperBowl

Seal as a Seal… do I love it or want to kill it with fire? I don’t know. #SuperBowl

Okay so the ads so far haven’t even tried, cool #Superbowl
