It really is about the journey, not the destination.

Samantha McLaren @themeatispeople.bsky.social reviews THE LONG WALK, the long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King's first novel, written before Carrie was published.

THE LONG WALK is an emotional journey to a muddled ending — Moviejawn

by Samantha McLaren, Associate Editor The Long Walk is a satisfyingly nasty little addition to the Stephen King cinematic universe.

reviews are mixed on Letterboxd but I still love the Duplass Brothers’ Cyrus #filmsky #cyrus

Screenshot of a Letterboxd review that says: “I want to give an Academy Award for Best Ensemble Performance to Marisa Tomei, John C. Reilly, and Jonah Hill just for that perfect scene near the beginning where Cyrus is playing his music to John and Molly comes in. i think about this scene at least 2 times a month”

revisited Love Jones for the first time in so long and dear god it’s still a perfect movie #lovejones #filmsky

screenshot of a Letterboxd film review that says: “when I moved into my first apartment, I bought this on VHS (DVD players were still a little too $$$$ for a college kid) and the soundtrack on CD, thanks to my sweet employee discount from Tower Records. when I tell you this movie had a hold on me, honey I mean it. I don’t think I can count the number of times I popped that VHS in or played that CD on my discman. revisited for the first time in a long time and ugh, what a perfect, beautiful movie from start to finish. (of course I had to buy it again)”

I mean eat the rich but I also would love to know what’s it like to live in a $12M Tribeca loft #thematerialists #filmsky

Screenshot of a Letterboxd film review that says “you’re telling me she lives in Manhattan…on an $80k salary? by herself? no roommates??

anyway really love what Celine Song is going for here - not sure everything lands for me personally but appreciate the nuances of the film so much. and yes I’m that bitch who would’ve chosen Pedro Pascal thank you and good night.”
