I wrote something all about my favourite local theatre that is fighting to keep celluloid alive in cinemas. Please read it and support THE REVIVAL HOUSE Perth if you can!

The Revival House and the Fight to Keep Celluloid Alive in Perth: "This Has Got to Work" - The Curb
“This has got to work” Between puffs of a desperate cigarette on a blustering Sunday night in August, Rob Denham just keeps saying to me “It’s got to work. It just has to.” We’re talking about bringin...

It’s unfortunate that neither one is all that good

I’d say FINAL RECKONING has action sequences that are worth the price of admission. But it isn’t even the best FINAL movie in theatres right now 😉
‘MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING’ and ‘LILO & STITCH’ have both already passed $100M globally.

This weekend is tracking to be the biggest Memorial Day Weekend in movie history.

Currently seated for #Sinners and it depresses me that there’s practically no cinemas in the country (except for IMAX Melbourne) that will show this movie in its correct aspect ratio. Once again, Australia fails Black filmmakers

This is the inevitable outcome of transphobic ideology. It harms cis people as well as trans if you don't fit a stereotype. If you don't look or act a specific way conjured up in the minds of the gender critical brigade you are, what they consider, a fair target.

If Dutton could have sensed the public mood, he would have jumped off the Trump bandwagon when he had the chance, writes Dr Victoria Fielding.

As Australians look on horrified at the chaos in America, the last thing they want is to emulate that in Australia.

more like Captain America: BLAND New World

we probably once had a fantastic version of this. And it would’ve received great reviews. You’ll probably never see it. That’s reality though.

Having now seen it and becoming a part of the conversation, I can honestly say that I don't think #EmiliaPerez deserves a single one of its nominations. Both nom'd actresses fare horribly with those lead weight songs & the cinematography & editing descend into murky garbage by the end.

Awful film.

The Nazi salute, Greenland, Jan 6 pardons...it's all just Wag the Dog shit. Bread and circuses. Hell, most of the executive orders are, too. It's a blunderbuss of bullshit designed to play to their base and draw attention away from organized crimes.

That doesn't make it less scary or dangerous.

I wish I watched more of his work while he was here. I’ve only seen The Elephant Man once over 10 years ago, but i’m happy to say I love Eraserhead.

He was a monumental filmmaker, endlessly creative, and just so cool. Who doesn’t want to be David Lynch?

I have just seen THE BRUTALIST

one of the most staggeringly ambitious, ultimately disturbing, morally complicated, and cinematically monumental films I’ve seen this year or decade. As vast as it is intimate. Truly exceptional

One of the best FILMS of the year, Australian or not. Need this on Blu-ray!

Received a peculiar invitation from Count Orlok of Transylvania. Perhaps this will be a symphony of terror.

Two vital pieces of info b4 Black Friday:

1. Price trackers have proven that Amazon has been slowly hiking prices so they can pretend to slash them on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. There are no actual deals. Just the appearance of them.

2. Amazon workers are on strike

If you want to know how indispensable Adam Somner was, look at his credits: 22 movies for Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Ridley Scott alone. Whenever I heard his name spoken during a production, it was usually preceded by "Thank God for." Gone much too soon. RIP. deadline.com/2024/11/adam...
