I didn't read the clues because I opted out of this one.

I wondered if it might be weapons because it comes out next week.

#FilmSky #CinemaSky, check out what the critics have been saying about #TheMireFilm, our latest feature.

Fancy a contained, psychological thriller film? A film about a cult leader trying to escape the web of his own lies?

Check out the film on Prime Video or Tubi: linktr.ee/appleparkfilms

I don't what's cooler; that they've come back swinging like this or that this is the theme song for the new Tron movie:

Another #AppleParkFilmClub post. This time I'm discussing why I feel that modern incarnations of the auteur theory have become somewhat detrimental to the study of film: appleparkfilmclub.substack.com/p/auteur-the...

Latest #AppleParkFilmClub dropped yesterday. This time I discuss #RidleyScott's #Prometheus and #AlienCovenant, the religious subtexts, and why I'm such a fan of these two films.

a group of people are standing in front of a wall that says tong king

Apple Park Films @appleparkfilms.bsky.social · Apr 20

Pretty mad to me that the best versions of #MobyDick are a 1950s film and an 80s cartoon my parents bought me when I was six.

So had a productive Easter break writing my own take.

Anyone know how I can reach Jaoquin Phoenix?

Would you be interested in a psychological thriller about cult leader caught in a game of cat and mouse with his two most loyal followers on the eve of a planned mass suicide?

Apple Park Films @appleparkfilms.bsky.social · Apr 15

I am utterly knackered today. The pages are struggling out, but making progress all the time.

Blasting Deftones is definitely making it easier!
