FYI, Fandango at Home has the new Deathstalker on sale for $5 to own. Or if you wanna be a dummy, you can pay $5.99 to rent it instead.

The @vinsyn.bsky.social 4K UHD edition of “Tank Girl” just arrived. This film rules and I’m going to have to find some time in the near future to dig into it. 🤘 #TankGirl #VinegarSyndrome

Hamnet was beautiful, but this should've been the ending
Chloe Zhao posted this and now I'm imagining Baz Lurhmann's "Hamnet."

Today, Scott Cooper’s Bruce Springsteen film, DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE, is out on physical formats today.

Via the digital edition, I explore the film’s approach, its themes, and the bonus features.

Amusingly, I now enjoy listening to The Boss with the extra context. #DeliverMefromNowhere #filmsky

Expect my review by then.

Survival horror “Killer Whale” lands in theaters tomorrow, 1/16.

EoM Contributor AJ Friar says, “It’s the kind of movie where collective gasps, nervous laughter, and held breaths enhance the experience.” #KillerWhale #filmsky
“Killer Whale” gets back to what audiences love about creature features.
