Out in select UK cinemas from today, Ash Avildsen's biopic about trailblazing women's pro wrestler Mildred Burke, Queen of the Ring, is an old-fashioned (for better and worse) crowdpleaser. My review for @moviemarker.bsky.social: www.moviemarker.co.uk/queen-of-the...

Had a chat with Solo director Sophie Dupuis and actor Felix Maritaud. One of my favourite interviews; was a lot of fun but also rather profound.

It’s been a long journey for queer drama Solo. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival back in 2023, UK audiences can finally see the French-Canadian feature in cinemas later this week (...

Thank you so much Julian for spreading the word. Been in the game a long time. Can't stress enough how swiftly we started thoroughly investigating this, as soon as it was raised by yourself.

Will be concluded shortly.

Movie Marker @moviemarker.bsky.social · Aug 27

Can confirm these particular posts are sponsored posts, hence the rather generic featured images.

We've been in regular contact with Julian as soon as it was flagged up. Swiftly being dealt with internally. Very much value you passing all these concerns on, as we're horrified.

Thank you again Julian for contacting us over the Bank Holiday. We are dealing with this internally as you already know.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps ★★★

Reposted by Movie Marker

Kelechi Ehenulo @ #LFF @kehenulo.bsky.social · Jul 27

Fantastic Four: First Steps is easily the best Fantastic Four movie envisioned for the big screen. Adored the worldbuilding and chemistry between the cast. But that rushed plot stops it from being truly “fantastic”. My thoughts for @moviemarker.bsky.social.
