What a great time I had attending the world premiere of #Zootopia2 and talking with Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Jared Bush, Byron Howard, and Yvett Merino. Could romance be in the air between Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps?

It's tough when a filmmaker you respect, in the twilight of their career, makes a movie as bad as #EllaMcCay and I wish I had just listened to my instincts and avoided it.

I've seen worse romcoms than MERV, and I'll never complain about more Zooey Deschanel. But there simply wasn't much effort put into this one.
MERV is streaming now on Prime Video.

#Supergirl looks like a blast. I love the punk rock attitude, the quick editing, the music, and Milly Alcock more than looks the part. This is a big movie for DC Studios with the winds shifting at WB.
What do you all think of the SUPERGIRL trailer?

Bryan Fuller makes some odd stylistic choices with his feature debut, #DustBunny but he also makes some great ones, like casting Mads Mikkelsen to be a guy who kills monsters. Who doesn't want to see that?

The final Sundance Film Festival in Park City is going out with a bang. This lineup is pretty sweet. Lots of star power, and at least a few films that seem like they could demand conversation throughout the year.

A24 planted a mock wedding engagement in a newspaper to hype the new film #TheDrama starring #RobertPattinson and #Zendaya which is pretty clever. It's from the director of DREAM SCENARIO and produced by Ari Aster, so expect some weird shit to go down.

I really enjoyed Gus Van Sant's hostage thriller #DeadMansWire which gets an awards-qualifying run on 12/12. It's Bill Skarsgard as another jittery character on the fringe, and I like that Van Sant plays into the surreal aspects of this true hostage crisis.

Since Guy Ritchie is never going to give us SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 (probably a good idea), then maybe his #YoungSherlock series will do. Here's a first look. Expect the show to hit Prime Video in 2026.
