Tom Noonan didn’t have to do much to creep you out in House of the Devil.
He could scare you while sitting at a table, being kind. RIP

I am excited to see the Mando movie. Big slugs, Sigourney, snakes and speeders? Sounds great to me

I love the Star Wars. Movie, games, animated, whatever. I enjoy it all. Happy to have more Maul, more Mando, more all of it

Last week I watched the first cut of a movie I wrote twenty years ago. When I was seventeen. I love and believe in that story more than anything and I was unwaveringly persistent. I would not let it not get made. Real, important human stories don't need to get done easily, they just need to get done
Writers if you could drop your novel or short story into an AI and have it make a great and watchable movie out of your story, and you could sell that movie, would you do it? #writers #WritingCommunity

First time I saw this was on WGN and it was the TV cut. Taped it on VHS and wore that sucker out 🎃

Finally watched WHITE HEAT (1949). Found myself muttering "Yeah, got his ass" about every 15 minutes or so. All time Cagney right there 📽️

It’s amazing how often I still think about this film and reference it.

#TheApostle by Duvall.

Absolutely brilliant. See it if you haven’t already.

There are certain actors, for all their considerable and enormous skill, that I personally have never seen "acting" onscreen. I only ever saw them being.
Robert Duvall was a king of them. My whole life.

RIP Robert Duvall, a true titan

If you haven’t seen THE APOSTLE (1997), I strongly recommend it. One of his best, most challenging performances 📽️

This USA women’s hockey team is possibly the most dominant Olympic hockey team ever. And every player is a product of the United States’s NCAA hockey programs. Canada—the second best team competing? Every single player ALSO attended an American university’s hockey program. All thanks to Title IX.

This movie is so wild and beautiful. It remains relevant today, which Heather hits on. Always grateful when Gore Verbinski indulges his inner sicko a bit
Hey y'all - this weekend we had our first Gore Verbinski film in theaters in 9 years, so I thought this was the perfect time to celebrate A CURE FOR WELLNESS: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/a-man-cannot...

I know it's a movie that isn't for everyone, but it sure as heck is for me.🖤

I am so glad a film like this can still get made. It's dark and aberrant. It's messy, funny and one part repulsed me (which was the point). Lots of people won't like it, but I did

I also keep thinking about it, which is something. More wild swings from movies, please 📽️ #filmsky
Still trying to process this wild ride of a movie. I had to review and post about it to spread the word since it’s had limited promotion.
As much as I want to recommend it to everyone, I know that it definitely won’t hit for some people.

I myself cant stop thinking about it.
