I really, really like Orphan: First Kill. For me it’s alongside House of Wax as a film that’s pretty fun for 2/3 of its runtime, and then goes spectacularly gonzo in a gloriously chaotic third act. I hope William Brent Bell brings that energy to Orphans. ❤️🔥

I love getting these subscription emails. It’s already paid for, long ago, so it feels like a gift from past me to current me. Some months I might be getting three movies. This month… wait… thirteen? ❤️🔥

In a late-breaking announcement, Andrew Cuomo has come out in favour of simply walking away from the baby in Under The Skin.
“Just leave it where it is,” he told a thinly attended Staten Island rally. “Sometimes doing nothing is the smart move. The process will play out, that’s all I’m saying.”

When it comes to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre… if you haven’t seen the 1980s Slovakian Betamax cut*, have you even seen the movie?

I liked this film (reminded me a little of late-period Antonioni, and of course Friedkin’s Sorcerer), but my goodness were some reviewers suffering from a serious case of Cannes fever.
Anyway, here the gorgeous new US poster for Oliver Laxe’s SIRĀT, a good movie.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, and I’m rooting for Wright, but…
This film has the worst g-damn posters.
