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.

#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.

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.

Locked and loaded for #PredatorBadlands

A standout at #FantasticFest this year, a coming of age tale of social acceptance vs moral conflict, steeped in genre elements and discordant vibes. My review of THE PLAGUE over at @cinapse.bsky.social

#GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie. A chaotic and blackly comedy adventure about technological creep and the impending collapse of society. The end of the world shouldn’t be this much fun. #FantasticFest
September 25, 2025 at 3:44 AM
#FantasticFest Secret screening 4 is GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE.

A WOMAN CALLED MOTHER. A reckoning with dueling roles spills into family life after a visit to a shaman. Tackles its themes well, loses focus at times, but when it clicks it rips. Great unsettling moments (& movements) and an all timer transition shot 🍳 #FantasticFest

HONEY BUNCH. A lush mystery that explores ideas of love and devotion by playing with memory and mood. Evokes 70s Gothic vibes, but crafts a distinct hazy tone and compelling tale all of its own. #FantasticFest

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Timely, topical, and just a rollicking good time at the movies. DiCaprio nails it once again. One of the year’s best, and a thrilling example of a filmmaker utterly assured and thriving in their craft. #FantasticFest

#FantasticFest Secret Screening #2 is BUGONIA

THE PIANO ACCIDENT. Another deadpan delight from Dupieux, this time taking aim at the hollow pursuits of influencers and clout chasers. Just bleak brilliance. #FantasticFest
