My ★★★★ review of The Bird with the Crystal Plumage on boxd.it/bj3eZR

Prioritizing mystery over blood splatter, Argento's first film may be best.

Stylish, thrilling, eccentric characters & outlandish plotting delight. Fun, silly, but gorgeous visuals & Ennio Morricone score.

Argento in overdrive. A delirious delight with fly whispering Connolly, bug loving Pleasence, a hideous slasher and razor wielding chimp. And maggots. 1985

#NowWatching Play Misty For Me (1971). Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Possibly Eastwood's best haircut.

I was delighted to be able to talk all things John Wick on the @tippingmyfedora.bsky.social podcast. So much to talk about from fight choreography, stunts, Hong Kong hero movies, dogs, art direction, guest stars, and the star presence that is Keanu Reeve. For anyone who loves John Wick.

We take to the high seas on next month's episode of The Thriller Cabinet podcast. I'm sure the resident marine life will take kindly to our excursion...

Coming Soon!

An overhead view of a dramatic scene at sea. In the foreground, a soaked man is climbing up the white mast of a rapidly sinking ship, a makeshift harpoon in hand. Below him, surfacing from the foaming waters, is an enormous shark, jaws akimbo and eye staring.

The recording of my 80s heavyweight live discussion and Q&A will be released as a podcast tomorrow morning, Fri 3 Oct.
William Dettloff and I took questions from our audience and spent a couple of hours in 80s nostalgia and debate. Find it in the feed of my Boxing Movie Podcast.

"Never saw you drinkin' in the afternoon before..."

I preferred it on my first viewing but I still thought it was excellent this time. Fatalistic, downbeat and dark with a great John Garfield turn and one of the saddest and most haunting endings of them all.

#31horrorsoundtracks starts with a perfect organism - Jerry Goldsmith's ALIEN (1979). Goldsmith's main theme has a melancholy inevitability about it, and it's surrounded by exotic acoustic and electronic instruments which add up to a terrifying, yet often beautiful, experience into the unknown.

Girlfight (2000) dir. Karyn Kusama. Starring Michelle Rodriguez in a debut performance.
The pretty inadequate IMDB synopsis reads-
"Diana, without her father knowing it, trains as a boxer and achieves impressive success, blazing new trails for female boxers." #boxing #moviesky #filmsky

‘Endlessly rewatchable’: why Diggstown AKA Midnight Sting is my feelgood movie

The latest in a series of writers paying tribute to their go-to comfort watches is a recommendation of 1992’s satisfying con movie

One movie, two titles. Diggstown in the US, Midnight Sting in the UK. Which is the better name?

Hi Kelly, no problem. It went really well, thanks. It was recorded and I'll be putting it out as a podcast in the next few days. I'd be very interested in the Witherspoon videos!
