Thrilled that @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social’s statement condemning @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social’s misguided change to allow phones out during films is getting traction with news, Elijah Wood and Scott Derrickson thanks to fearless leaders @jonpartridge.bsky.social and @rmwhittaker.bsky.social!

Sam Raimi’s #SENDHELP is a devilish delight, and exactly the sort of original filmmaking that needs your support. Get a for a guaranteed good time. My review over at @cinapse.bsky.social
Proud to be an @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social member condemning @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social's shift to mobile-based ordering.

Its just so devilishly over the top. Plenty of old tricks, but with a lot of fresh energy.

As the days go on, my fury at the new iphone OS update increases. Its borked everything. It’s the tech embodiment of the Trump administration, stupid, regressive, and garishly unattractive.
Cackled my way through SEND HELP. Rami is back baby. 🐐

Excited to share all of our wonderful nominees!!!
Sadly no, another reason you shouldn’t have left us.
Very pleased with these awards nominee picks from my AFCA peers. Been a great year for the movies!
28 YEARS LATER was just a warmup for THE BONE TEMPLE. A bold, bloody, and bonkers followup, that again finds cruelty and the enduring slivers of humanity amidst the carnage of this devastated land. Ralph Fiennes delivers one of his most fire performances.

Loins are girded for this one #28yearslaterthebonetemple
#AvatarFireAndAsh is exhilarating, emotional, and epic cinema. The action and effects surpass the first two films, its plot however recycles so many elements you wonder where things can go from here. Oona Chaplin is an exception as a chaotically compelling addition to the cast
Payakan Posse unite! 🐋 #Avatar
Been hankering for #Hamnet
#MartySupreme. A dizzying effort, driven by a palpable and relentless sense of hustle. Chalamet is undeniably electric, but the casting team deserves major plaudits for filling every frame of this film with color and character.
Maybe hold the olives 🤔😎
Ready for my Marty to be Supremed
Pretty jazzed for this 👐🏻
#RunningManMovie does enough to set itself apart from the original, but not enough from our current lives. A dour, unadventurous experience that really needed to hit harder and more incisively with its commentary to make a mark.
I had a blast with #PredatorBadlands, a great changeup for the franchise that never takes itself too seriously.

#PredatorBadlands blows open the mythology of the franchise, but never forgets to have fun while doing it. A rollicking, action packed, and delightfully goofy slice of sci-fi.
