A ★★★ review of The Bride! (2026) When it comes to completely batshit insane remakes of The Bride Of Frankenstein, Poor Things remains undefeated. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! ("Exclamation point!" - Lorenz Hart, probably) is a freq...

"Although The Bride! is supposed to take place in the early 1930s, it regularly throws the anachronism rule book out of the window with modern club music, an audience watching a 3D movie, and feminist musings about women astronauts."

A ★★★ review of Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) The 70s car heist flick is Bruckheimer-ized with lots of sparks, explosions, lurid colors, a big ticket cast, dumb jokes, and an actual plot. I wouldn't call the newer Gone In 60 Seconds a great movie...

Edward G Robinson disappears down a Fritz Lang rabbit hole of suspense, a brilliant Oscar contender completely lives up to the hype, an extremely 70s B-picture props up a 40 minute car chase, and its loose 2000 remake lets Cage & Jolie charm up the place. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky

A ★★½ review of Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) Quite possibly the most Seventies 1970s movie I've ever seen, Gone In 60 Seconds is a relatively plotless indie car heist movie that made me feel like I know far too little about cars and how to steal...

"It took me a while to realize that the crew were wearing disguises of wigs and fake mustaches and that wasn't how the characters were actually supposed to look, a style indistinguishable from the Beastie Boys in their 'Sabotage' music video."

Living in one of the most desirable targets for terrorism on the planet, I can't tell you how confident, proud, and calm this statement makes me.

So I won't. I will not say that whatsoever.

A ★★★★★ review of Sentimental Value (2025) A towering exploration of the ways that generational trauma can fuel art but brutalize family, Sentimental Value earns all of the praise its gained over the past several months. It is primarily about ...

"Stellan Skarsgård as Gustav makes you ache with wordless close-ups... Renate Reinsve as Nora is like a power cable with worn insulation, continually sparking and in danger of setting her surroundings ablaze."

Markwayne Mullin hiding on Jan 6, 2021.

Markwayne "Misspoke" Mullin is the new Secretary of Homeland Security as of the end of the month, after Noem crashed & burned at her hearings. He looked very confident and secure on Jan 6, 2021.

Seriously, have these people ever had their publicist sit them down and give them a nice, parental "STFU" conversation?

"...it's Robinson who makes the film special, with his constant patter to influence and con people into whatever he needs next... most of all, to convince everyone that there most definitely isn't any noisy drilling and digging going on in the basement." boxd.it/dnphRR #FilmSky #EdwardGRobinson

A ★★★★★ review of Bride of Frankenstein (1935) There was a time, for somewhat over forty years, when The Bride Of Frankenstein was untouchable as my favorite Frankenstein film and unimpeachably the best one ever. To say otherwise was heresy (that ...

"It's the work of a great gay artist flaunting his homosexually-fueled camp sensibility and not giving a damn who notices how gay his movie is... beautiful, quirky, self-deprecating, ghoulish, heartbreakingly sincere, and completely weird even by Universal horror standards."

Shot from Black Magic 2 of a human- faced ulcer with the subtitles "Because it looks like a human face, everyone calls it a human-faced ulcer." Naturally.

Never saw this episode of House before. Definitely not Lupus.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

It's the Salvador Dali-designed dream sequence from Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound.

"Bergman stands tall in my mind as one of the greatest actors... while I still find the depiction of her as the "girl with glasses" who needs romantic love to become truly beautiful to be a reeking, cheesy movie cliche, she's still absolutely wonderful..." boxd.it/dlsOw1 #Hitchcock #IngridBergman

The great thing about movies, especially now that we have such easy access to them, is that you can always go back to ones you didn't care for and give them another chance viewed through new eyes, because you've changed with time and age even if they've remained the same. #FilmSky #moviesky

Everything is awful, insane, shameful, and just plain wrong. But there's still delivery soul food and plenty of movies that I haven't seen yet.

You can understand the Iranian regime is oppressive and murderous and also understand that this war of aggression against it is illegal and immoral and that those who will suffer the most from it are the people of Iran.
