"In a world where billions have fused into a shared consciousness, Carol’s grief and frustration register as acts of resistance rather than pathology." Jack Cox reviews the first season of Pluribus right here:

"Cooper seems less interested in celebrating self-expression than in questioning its limits." Jack Cox reviews Is This Thing On?, the latest from Bradley Cooper, over here:

"The grief is real, pain lasts, and the endless quest to colonize Pandora is often reflected in both literal and symbolic images." Connor Walsh reviews Avatar: Fire and Ash here:

"Just as this manages to work as a timely portrait of how capitalism’s crippling effects can drive someone to the edge, and how the media can sensationalize events like this, it also just plainly works as a loving homage to 70s crime thrillers." Bode Sulaiman reviews Dead Man's Wire here:

Perhaps Spike Lee casting him in Bamboozled wasn't incidental.

"Marty’s recklessness allows Marty Supreme to develop its way into feeling like a thriller, as was the case with the Safdie brothers’ two previous films." Jaime Rebanal reviews Marty Supreme here! Come check out what they have to say:

Rob Reiner turned the movies up to eleven with This Is Spinal Tap, and with films like Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, only cemented an enduring legacy. He will be very dearly missed, and we wish nothing but love for his family.

"Resurrection is a meditation on perception, memory, and transformation." Jack Cox reviews the latest film from Bi Gan over here:

"You will leave the film reminded of why you loved Edgar Wright in the first place, but miss his contributions with Simon Pegg on genre and satire." Connor Walsh reviews Edgar Wright's take on The Running Man right here:

"Unfortunately, when it tries to mix an underdeveloped romance subplot, it feels too cluttered and Blood Lines does not fully grasp what it wants to be." Nathan Sherwood reviews Blood Lines from this year's TIFF right here:

"Predator: Badlands is a fun standalone addition to the long-running franchise." Nathan reviews the latest entry in the Predator series right here:

"For a movie built around the history of the United States at the turn of the 20th century, it feels fitting we’re seeing it observed through a man who strikes you as nothing more than ordinary." Jaime Rebanal reviews Train Dreams; which played at this year's TIFF, right here:

"Good Fortune, while playing it safe, is a commentary on the struggles of the working class, making it day by day while the rich and wealthy are living stress-free with their riches." Read Nathan Sherwood's review right here:

This is esp heartbreaking with how much hard work and real love Pyun put into his films which is part of what makes them special to watch. This is beyond disrespectful to his legacy.

Albert Pyun deserves so much better than this.

The stroke of hucksterism genius to call existing technology "AI" in order to convince everyone it is something it is not has done an inestimable amount of damage.

Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but he's one of the reasons why this medium continues to thrive today.

*insert lecture about how this was expected to happen here*

when you get owned by the kid from Project X lmao

Looks cool, but it's no I Am Cuba.

Well, we already know how far Disney went by spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this.

Always a good time to talk about The Irishman.

Is this all because of how much we hyperfixated on a certain choice of a pull quote?

We need to enjoy this: A handsome likable candidate is great at campaigning, has a hot wife, and his mom is in the Criterion Collection. The opposition must hate themselves for trying.

Americans will get to see MILE END KICKS in 2026, thanks to Sumerian Pictures.

Super late because I keep on forgetting but I wrote about a horror sequel I really enjoyed for @cinemafromthespectrum.com Check it out :) #filmsky

"Lanthimos has always been drawn to the unsettling and the absurd, and here he explores both with a sharper intimacy than before." The latest film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos is a hoot! Read Jack Cox's review here:

We've hit the big leagues now!

"It’s always fascinating whenever any filmmaker has two movies opening in the same year, but with Linklater, it’s especially notable since he’s still one of the most eclectic and versatile American filmmakers that we have." We have two Richard Linklater reviews from TIFF, reviewed by Bode Sulaiman:

"Roher and Ramsey’s script keeps raising the stakes of Niki’s criminal entanglements, constantly tightening the screws on whether he can survive the dangerous world he has stepped into." Jack Cox reviews Tuner, from this year's TIFF, right here:

Every single time. youtu.be/HAkqVmweX9o

"It’s a simple and somewhat ridiculous premise that, in the hands of another director, could have been forgettable. But Fuller writes sharp, playful dialogue, and Mikkelsen’s dry, deadpan performance grounds the film in something emotionally real." Jack Cox reviews Bryan Fuller's Dust Bunny here:

"A film about trauma and survivor’s guilt mixed in with some good scares that makes the film worth the watch." Read Nathan Sherwood's review of Black Phone 2 here:

"Inspiring dream like visuals take you on the quest of what it’s like to find yourself lost within your work." Connor Walsh reviews Ildikó Enyedi's Silent Friend, which played at TIFF 2025 right here:

"By blending reenactment with Hind’s actual voice, the film deepens the emotional impact while maintaining a strong connection to reality." Jack Cox reviews The Voice of Hind Rajab, straight from TIFF 2025, right here:

"Given that Peck was willing to dissecting the life of James Baldwin in congruence with an unfinished manuscript in I Am Not Your Negro, it feels mostly disappointing to see that he’s not doing the same for George Orwell." Jaime Rebanal reviews Orwell: 2+2=5, which screened at TIFF 2025, here:
