Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for America, in times of darkness he turned to hope and embodied the light.
An odd mix for my #LastFourWatched on this #LetterboxdFriday. Three very different titles from @criterionchannl.bsky.social and THE BRIDE!
πNow that ICE/DHS are planning to buy βmegaβ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentlemanβs history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.
A thing of beauty from @umbrellaent.bsky.social.

She's the embodiment of my attitude toward coworkers and colleagues.
Thanks to Steve for commissioning the latest entry in my essay series, The Definitives, about P.T. Anderson's MAGNOLIA!
It was a pleasure to write about this highlight from the most formative film year in my life - 1999.

Pixar's HOPPERS takes an intricate yet effortless plot, imbues the material with a full spectrum of emotion, and leaves the viewer feeling as if theyβre witnessing something both elementary and enlightened.
It opens Friday.

Incredibly moving.
My review of SCREAM 7 is exclusive to my Patreon. But I can tell you this: it's the only installment so far that I actively dislike.

Here are my #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday.
Check out the latest episode of The CineFiles. I review "WUTHERING HEIGHTS", then we debate HOW TO MAKE A KILLING, and praise GHOST ELEPHANTS.
Plus, we talk about my CineGift: GRAND ILLUSION (1937)

Such a great movie. Don't wait for Hulu/Nat Geo. See it in theaters!
Yes! Let's connect: letterboxd.com/deepfocusrev...
Not sure the exact reasons. Some other markets got screenings, like NY/LA.
MN is somewhat regularly deprioritized by certain studios, especially when it comes to horror or anything fringe (which is wild because a lot of MN critics enjoy those flavors). Weβre just a lesser market to them, I guess.
Yeah, but they didn't screen it for critics in MN. I'm seeing it tonight too. The review will be a Patreon exclusive, which is my policy when I pay for a ticket. My take should be up by Saturday afternoon or Sunday.
Andrew Stanton's three-tiered, time-spanning epic IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE arrives on Hulu tomorrow.

Last year, one of my Patrons, Steve, commissioned me to review Paul Thomas Anderson's HARD EIGHT (1996). Well, that review is now available for the first time from behind the paywall. Enjoy!

The great Carmen Maura stars in CRAZY OLD LADY, a Hitchcockian Hagsploitation movie hitting #Shudder on Friday.

Not a great read for someone who's still grieving for his dog. Otherwise, good book.

Minneapolis:
GHOST ELEPHANTS is Werner Herzog's latest sublime documentary about a dreamer on a dangerous, obsessive mission.

That and Sleeping Dogs were great Donaldson discoveries recently.
Yes - all the stars for that one. Working on an essay about it.
Fun! Iβll have to look up where she appears
Itβs #LetterboxdFriday - so hereβs my #LastFourWatched
Olivia Holt is solid in THIS IS NOT A TEST, a decent but forgettable teen zombie apocalypse yarn.
It's now in theaters from IFC and Shudder.
