I might be in the minority, but I found Nia DaCosta's SALTBURN-esque reimagining of #Hedda to be an intoxicating thrill full of sexual intrigue and devious scheming. Tessa Thompson and Nina Hoss set the screen on fire. #MFF2025

First review out of Middleburg is Noah Baumbach's surprisingly light, celebrity dramedy #JayKelly in which #GeorgeClooney plays a more broken down, regretful version of himself. He's charming, and I'm easily won over by him

Opens on 11/14 then Netflix on 12/5.

Universal Pictures has set The Daniels' follow-up to EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE for November 2027, after briefly pulling it from the schedule. Details on the film are still being kept a mystery.

In unexpected news of the day, Jim Carrey is up to star in a live-action THE JETSONS movie from JURASSIC WORLD director Colin Trevorrow.

Jared Leto has murdered another franchise. Disney has finally figured out that #Tron is a niche property and dumping $200M into sequels is foolish, especially when you have a star who can't put butts in seats.

Next for Leto is MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. Uh oh.

It's awards season, and there are a bunch of overly serious films out there. Take a break with Aziz Ansari's funny gig worker comedy #GoodFortune, which also gives you a chance to see a winged Keanu Reeves scarfing down tacos.

Luca Guadagnino's #AfterTheHunt is written in such a deliberately vague way that it is inert, lifeless, totally free of tension or thrills. And yet it's also quite satisfied with itself for being culturally relevant. I wanted to take a nap.

I can't imagine how fucked up an Osgood Perkins horror love story will be. #Keeper is about to be some crazy ass shit.

Watch the new trailer featuring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland. The film hits theaters Nov. 14th!

Ethan Hawke's The Grabber is back and scarier than ever. #BlackPhone2 is every bit as good as the original, even as it flips the script, focuses on a different protagonist, and channels a lot of Freddy Krueger.

It feels like I reviewed #TheFamilyPlan last month, but that's because I forgot it existed. That said, the Mark Wahlberg action-comedy was a huge hit for AppleTV+, and now THE FAMILY PLAN 2 is arriving on November 21st. Watch the new trailer now!
