With a great script that shows restraint through a series of well-edited vignettes, Vargas has made a surprising – and stellar – debut.

BLUE HERON by Sophy Romvari is a beautiful, tender, and ultimately daring act of cinematic time travel. One of the strongest feature directorial debuts in ages – and excellent conversation-starter on role of Telefilm and other Canadian arts funding agencies. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

A visually striking tale of a childhood spent during wartime and on the wrong side of history, hitting all the right emotional beats while still having something interesting to say.

I’ve been waiting 50 years to write this book — and today, you can buy Spider-Man/Superman #1 at your local comic store or online here: bit.ly/SpideySupes. I wrote the main story, with incredible art by @pepelarraz and @colornmatt. All the stories are soooo good. Thanks Nick Lowe & Marvel. #comics

What if the U.S. president demanded Brad Pitt play him in a movie about his initial foray into politics (and even worse got his way)? My review of Eagles of the Republic, a movie set in Egypt, for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.

#booksky 💙📚 This was a great, quick psychological thriller, with some horror elements. It is set in Pincher Creek, Alberta, just some small-town vibes and close community. Someplace where the unthinkable happens to one young man in a small town garage... and then things get interesting. (1/2)

The kids are doing alright

I went into this book not having a clue what it was about (I’m fairly good at avoiding pop culture stuff). It seems rather standard for psychological horror. #booksky💙📚

Waiting to play and worn out afterwards 💜

There's very few movies I wish I'd never seen but this is definitely one of them. My review of Vampires of the Velvet Lounge for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.

Under the radar movie rec! Late Shift is a rigorous and anxiety-inducing portrait of a nurse's grueling shift at an understaffed Swiss hospital, with unflinching depictions of the everyday calculus of hospital labor amid a failing system.

Yes, please. Me want.

Also, I don't know if anyone remembers this, probably just some Torontonians but, in 2014 I had a real life bit about Bram Stokes Dracs. You can listen to it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmRw...
