Classic illustrated poster for the film Jaws. The image is inset within a black background bearing cast details etc. The picture shows a young woman swimming front crawl-style on the surface of the ocean. She cannot see the absolutely enormous shark rising up from the depths heading directly for her, mouth agape in anticipation of its dinner...In the sky above her is the film's title, in blood red.

Is the John Wick series less about assassins and more about dog lovers? My amazing birthday buddy, Professor Stacey Abbott (@profsaabbott.bsky.social), takes me on a walk on the canine side at Fedora.

My ★★★★ review of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage on boxd.it/bj3eZR

Prioritizing mystery over blood splatter, Argento's first film may be best.

Stylish, thrilling, eccentric characters & outlandish plotting delight. Fun, silly, but gorgeous visuals & Ennio Morricone score.

Argento in overdrive. A delirious delight with fly whispering Connolly, bug loving Pleasence, a hideous slasher and razor wielding chimp. And maggots. 1985

I was delighted to be able to talk all things John Wick on the @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social podcast. So much to talk about from fight choreography, stunts, Hong Kong hero movies, dogs, art direction, guest stars, and the star presence that is Keanu Reeve. For anyone who loves John Wick.

We take to the high seas on next month's episode of The Thriller Cabinet podcast. I'm sure the resident marine life will take kindly to our excursion...

Coming Soon!

An overhead view of a dramatic scene at sea. In the foreground, a soaked man is climbing up the white mast of a rapidly sinking ship, a makeshift harpoon in hand. Below him, surfacing from the foaming waters, is an enormous shark, jaws akimbo and eye staring.
