People Under the Stairs. I prefer his Universal Pictures run (People, Serpent and the Rainbow, and Shocker) to most of the Nightmare series (outside 'New') anyway.

Seen at @beyondfest.bsky.social (closing night screening) - Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons once again throw themselves into a wild Lanthimos film, and it pays off. My review of #Bugonia via We Live Entertainment - tinyurl.com/m3u9zwjk

From robots to aliens to deities, it's a monster mash on the next episode of #2BlackGuysTalkGodzilla as we cover Godzilla vs. Megalon tomorrow.

Featuring what is possibly Channing Tatum's best performance, #Roofman is very charming. Not too deep, but an involving (true) story about a smart but friendly-to-a-fault criminal. My review via We Live Entertainment - tinyurl.com/3se6dmna

Seen via @beyondfest.bsky.social - I really enjoyed Good Fortune. It's a winner of a comedy with fun work from Ansari and Rogen, but Keanu Reeves truly shines as an inept angel. Plus, the film has plenty of heart. My review via We Live Entertainment - tinyurl.com/a8erxwjv

Future double feature that needs to happen:

AmAARONcan Psycho Neuwirth @aaronsps4.bsky.social · 7d

I was into #TronAres. It's aesthetically fantastic, and while it only scratches the surface of potentially deeper ideas, the film hits all the fun adventure beats with a style I really enjoy seeing. And the soundtrack rips. My review via We Live Entertainment - tinyurl.com/4m2pwe33

AmAARONcan Psycho Neuwirth @aaronsps4.bsky.social · 8d

Really enjoyed checking out #GoodFortune with the @beyondfest.bsky.social crowd. Aziz Ansari delivers a clever, modern spin on Wings of Desire that’s full of jokes and heart. Keanu Reeves is perfectly deployed here as well. #SeeComediesInTheaters

Thoroughly enjoyed what #TronAres was throwing down. Hints of grander ideas go untouched, but being in that world again does plenty to satisfy. And obviously it’s an audio/visual treat to see on a huge screen (and in 3D no less). I’ll be listening to the score for a while.

Seen at @beyondfest.bsky.social! Was happy to watch 2004's #Godzilla: Final Wars on a big screen with a midnight audience. It runs way too long, but it is entirely fitting for a big crowd pumped to see a lot of Godzilla action. My retro review via We Live Entertainment - tinyurl.com/mtby65cc

Seen at @beyondfest.bsky.social - #QueensOfTheDead finds Tina Romero upping the camp, yet still retaining the core ideas of her father's zombie films. An old-fashioned look for the undead & socially relevant themes informing the characters. My review via We Live Entertainment - tinyurl.com/yu67sae8
