had high hopes for Wake Up Dead Man, and they were exceeded. I feel insanely biased, though, as a lapsed Catholic who loves impeccably crafted locked-room mysteries & murder at the vicarage. imho the funniest, most poignant, and maybe prettiest Benoit Blanc entry yet.

I don't need a sequel to ONE OF THEM DAYS, I just need a new movie every year where Keke Palmer and SZA are friends having misadventures. (I will also accept the sequel, obvs)
watching ONE OF THEM DAYS and keke palmer is so insanely charming it is outrageous

One of the best parts of Man Finds Tape getting the hype it has right now is seeing @gholson.bsky.social slowly accumulating deserved horror icon status!

Insufferable loudmouthed geek with terrible, adolescent opinions who also stages scenes like a man touched by God.

Was going to roll my eyes at ScarJo jumping aboard another franchise, but you know what? She also just shot the next James Gray movie, she's attached to Andrea Arnold's next movie, and she's also attached to the next Cruise/McQ project. So you do you, ScarJo.

and when it (literally) blows up in his face, his first response is to whine about how people just didn’t get it”
In THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Jack Skellington sees something, decides it belongs to him, and pumps out an altered version of it that almost looks like the real thing (but which sucks and everyone hates) while nearly destroying the thing he claimed to be championing.

Jack is a dead tech bro.

I wrote about ANGEL'S EGG for my reader's choice series. This has been one of my all time favorite movies since I saw it for the first time around a decade ago. I love it, and I hope my love for the movie came through.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

There are some really great one-liners in 80s action movies, but it's a rare case where we get a set-up, a callback, a payoff, AND a coda.

Open to being surprised, but kneejerk reaction is that Leo on screen is diametrically opposed to what Michael Mann needs from his leading men, even setting aside whichever of the HEAT trio he’s meant to play.
Leonardo DiCaprio confirms he will star in ‘HEAT 2’

“We’re still working on it, we’re a ways away from production”

This is such a mess. The HBO Max "remastered" version of The Simpsons reveals that Duff, Duff Lite, and Duff Dry all come from the same pipe. 🙄

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

Had somehow missed that Elijah Wood was joining up as the demonic master of ceremonies. Very into it.

Shimmering noir that makes the IMMEDIATE case for John Woo as a master and for Chow Yun-fat as a cinematic icon. At once unfathomably cool and tear-your-heart-out earnest. KILLER and HARD BOILED might dwarf it, but ABT is terrific in its own right, never mind what other greatness grew from it.
