My thoughts on FRANKENSTEIN: "Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein revels in the mythological diorama that Shelley gives to him, where grand (if familiar) ideas clash, where awe meets awful violence, where humanity meets God meets the demonic."
Frankenstein: A Modern Re-Retelling — micah rickard
Movie review of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, an visually grand adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel

My review of Kelly Reichardt's THE MASTERMIND, which is all about "the consequences of following dreams that haven’t really been thought through... It’s also the coziest movie of the year."

(Plus a brief, surprisingly fitting detour to Paris)

I thought it was nice for Paris to have so many homages to Kieslowski scattered about. A bit of an odd choice, but a really moving one
Really interesting take (that makes a lot of sense for del Toro). I'm looking forward to watching it in the next week
Ran into some guys while in France
Who, precisely, is Andrew Garfield in this scenario?
Good thing I was, uhm, only at the d'Orsay today. Yep
This movie just looks so cozy. A great time from the moment the score kicks in
Art heists? Reichardt? O'Connor and Magaro? It's THE MASTERMIND time

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Excuse me, it's actually Doctor.

That's correct. Doctor Frankenstein's monster.
Literally wrote this line (which is actually slightly paraphrased here) for an essay a few days ago. Pope Leo just like me fr

(Is Leo also doing Film Studies?)
Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation
Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

My “don’t worry about China, it will all be fine” shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt
One of them REALLY earned its final shot
The last movie I saw in theaters was OBAA. Today's docket is A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE followed by IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT. Such a slate feels very fitting of our relentlessly and cruelly political time
