Messy. Angry. Wild. Peculiar. Frenetic. Exhilarating. Awesome.
Maggie Gyllenhaal resurrects a legend with ferociously fearless enthusiasm. It doesn’t all work and I could care less. Loved every go-for-broke second.
Jessie Buckley is phenomenal.

I need to know your secrets. I had two years of practically zero activity because of injuries and ailments, and all that lounging was murder on my weight. Now that I’m healthy and back in the gym, I can’t seem to shed anything. So annoying!!!! 😡
Anyhow, good for you! That’s so awesome. Well done. ❤️
Last night was the @dorianawards.bsky.social for GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics. I'm proud to be a voting member, especially when a film like SINNERS sets a new record and Ryan Coogler wins the Wilde Artist of the Year prize.

I should really start doing this as well. Such a great idea and way to deal with them all. 👍❤️
Bonkers. Unhinged. Moving. Flabbergasting. Weird. Inspired. Perverse. Empathetic. Loopy.
But most of all? EXTRAORDINARY.
Excited for this one. Time to walk down the aisle.
Almost certainly. And probably all of them. lol
Seriously great picks and commentary. No Billy Wilder, though. This legit surprised me.
Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!
It’s a fantastic idea. So glad you did it. If you do starting doing this annually or semi-annually, would love to be a part. It’s always fun to see how lists like this evolve over time. Great job! ❤️
Am I supremely bummed I wasn’t polled for this? Yes. Definitely.
Is this still an outstanding list everyone should take a look at (and hopefully watch every gosh darn film)? Absolutely. Give it your attention. ❤️
Look, IT HAPPENS EVERY SPRING is a very cute, quite enjoyable little trifle. Lots of fun. But GILDA being the second half of that double feature just feels so very, very wrong (I’m still going, though 🤷♀️😂).
When you have the chance, please take the time to watch Harrison Ford's remarkable, beautiful Life Achievement Award acceptance speech. #ActorAwards

OPERATION TACO GARY’S and BUGONIA would make a surprisingly coherent and thematically connected double feature. If you’re into that sort of thing. 🤷♀️
Outside of Arnie’s Terminator from the 1984 film, tend to think Yul Brynner’s “Gunslinger” in WESTWORLD is as terrifying - and yet also strangely magnetic - as a cinematic robot killing machine gets. Can’t take your eyes off of him.
Anyhow, @arrowvideo.bsky.social’s 4K release is magnificent. Wow.
I'm no one to judge but I wish Louise Weard and Aoife Josie Clements released TRANS PANIC podcast episodes more often.
I'm halfway through their Best of 2025 (Part 1) list and I've already clocked a bunch of amazing-sounding films I didn't hear ANY other critics discuss last year.
Pulled my original 2009 review out of the archive, gave it a little light editing, and then republished it to the current site. Not my best work, but still worth sharing I guess. 🥰

Yeah. Was exactly what I needed tonight as well. It really is a blast. Glad you got to go do that. Take care of yourself. ❤️
Totally. But it would have still had an extended art house run, which maybe could have it gotten it a bit more awards heat. Or, at least, that’s my fantasy version of what could have been. 😁
Pig
First Cow
Turning Red
Palm Springs
Birds of Prey (curious what the totals would have looked like had it had a full run)
Never Rarely Sometimes Always
News of the World
Greyhound
Mitchell’s vs the Machines (no way Sony sells to Netflix if no COVID)
West Side Story
(I could do this all day. 🤷♀️)
A blast. Forgot how much fun this one is in a theater. It’s so well shot and edited. Patrick Lussier and team put way more effort and care into this gory silliness than it likely deserved.
Great. Now I want to finish the SUPERNATURAL stars in 2009 slasher remakes double with FRIDAY THE 13th. 🤷♀️😂
Been playing Civilization and listening to comfort music all day instead of doing any real work (or - worse - doomscrolling). Now going to watch MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D in 3D even though I truly don’t need to see it in a theater again.
We all have our own version of self care. Guess this is mine. 🤷♀️
Kelly Clarkson is astoundingly good, btw. This remains one of my favorite live performances of any song, ever. Ask anyone involved with musical performance or live production how easy any of this was. Jaw dropping shit. She doesn't know how to miss.
If you’re looking for something to read make it this excellent profile on Jason Lee which is also about how celebs really don’t like when you do actual journalism.

Larry Fessenden makes tragedies disguised as horror movies. His films soak in the malaise, and his characters are usually passerby witnesses to things getting worse. He’s an optimist who comes to inevitable conclusions, but there’s always a tension of hope that powers his characters forward. In The Last Winter, his apocalyptic and forward thinking picture about climate change, it’s already too late for everybody, but unlike Lucio Fulci, who begins from that same endpoint, he doesn’t relish in conceiving of set-pieces to show audiences all the vicious and surreal ways that his characters might meet their fate. Fessenden imbues the arctic frame with a palpable sense of unease, as an unsolvable problem of warming permafrost ushers in the loss of ecological balance. He doesn’t pity his characters. It feels like he’s always wishing there was a way out for them to reach a broader understanding of one another. The deep down barbarism of mankind takes root, and paranoia unfurls with the realization that the end is nigh. While comparisons to John Carpenter’s The Thing are inevitable with their shared arctic landscapes, and their doom, Fessenden’s Last Winter behaves very differently. There’s no Hawksian siege, or genre excesses, or anti-heroes with swear words. His characters are people at their wits end, failing in the way that people always seem to fail, and he finds ways to turn the knife without it seeming exploitative or crude.
a still image from Larry Fessenden's THE LAST WINTER of an environmentalist out in the snow running a test. It's a wide frame, with the horizon line squeezed into the top of the frame, John Ford style, and the lower part of the frame is snow, a blanket of white reaching high.
I wrote about Larry Fessenden's ecological horror film THE LAST WINTER. It's the final essay in my Fessenden series, and I hope that you've all had fun with these.

In my latest for @bloody-disgusting.com I take a look at the new wave of religious horror and why it is happening now.

so, the news about Paramount and Warner Bros. is devastating—there's no sugarcoating that. but there are a lot more obstacles in the way than you might expect, and a long, grueling process ahead for Larry and David Ellison. my primer on what happens next, and why Daddy's money is no sure thing:
One of these is not like the other…

Ghostface is back, and so is Sidney Prescott, but that doesn’t stop #Scream7 from stabbing the franchise right in the heart. So frustrating.
