I instinctively zone out during commercials and that one had Ali and I jumping off the couch like a rat had skittered across the cushions.

She definitely is not having a great time, either.

I will say that it's lively. Makes you feel something.

I like plenty of LG films. This just doesn't really suit his style.

For anyone or anything willing to throw a little dirt on the #MeToo movement and treat young adults as a bunch of hopelessly naive freaks, the possibilities are limitless.

The movie doesn't exactly clear things up! (But basically it's about a student accusing a professor of sexual misconduct and another professor caught in between them.)

I have mixed-to-negative feelings about it, as you can read in the linked review. But the good news for the film is that it's just been hired as a columnist for The Atlantic. thereveal.film/in-review-a-...

In Review: ‘A House of Dynamite,’ ‘After the Hunt,’ ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’

An all-reviews week continues with an apocalyptic docudrama, a cancellation story, and a political meta-musical.

Love the poster for this movie. Four of the most miserable-looking people you've ever seen under a tagline that reads "Not Everything Is Supposed To Make You Comfortable." You wonder if they could squeeze in the carcass of a murdered kitten. There's room in the left corner.

Extremely bleak poster for AFTER THE HUNT.

Bailey Zappe is to hilariously close to "George Zip" in AIRPLANE!

Reviews may be mixed, but I can assure you that AFTER THE HUNT will get a perfect 100 HLSS (Harper's Letter Signatory Score).

Coloradans are like, "You will have to pry my Zune from my cold dead fingers."

Truly remarkable how music is reaching far-flung places like Colorado these days.

For @theringer.com.web.brid.gy I attempted to use Apple’s new AirPods and translation app to watch foreign language films. Could they make subtitles obsolete? Well…

Could the AirPods Pro 3 Mean the End of Subtitles?

Apple’s newest headphones boast an instantaneous translation app. Let’s put them to the test in a movie theater.

The last thing I expected to see tonight: legendary Iranian director Jafar Panahi shooting the Beyond Fest @beyondfest.bsky.social tee-shirt cannon into the Aero Theatre audience. @amcinematheque.bsky.social

Today at The Reveal: You can read my review of TRON: ARES and @scotttobias.bsky.social on THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR. Due to the abundance of notable new releases we're having an "Oop! All Reviews" week:

In Review: ‘Tron: Ares,’ ‘The Perfect Neighbor’

An all-reviews week begins. The 'Tron' series returns with a movie-approximating audio-visual experience and a groundbreaking documentary uses body-cam footage to get at the truth of a crime.

Oh wow. I guess Michael always directed, with his brother as the Ethan of the two? But looks like plenty of Michael solo pictures, including one for Daily Wire under disgraced Cinestate chief Dallas Sonnier!
