I fucking love that this is the picture they chose for King Kong (2005) on Tubi.

The Bluff is really fucking great y'all! It's John Wick and the Villainess revenge in 19th-century Cayman Islands where Priyanka Chopra gives us one of the best female action performances that we have gotten in the US. Revenge Actioner but make it pirates. My review:

Off to see some Guardians about some Blades.

“Bad things happen. But you can still live.” Honestly SUPER 8 is pretty wonderful. An E.T. Homage, sure, but a great one! It’s gorgeous, fun, and filled with sweet characters genuinely trying to live and love. There’s heart and emotion along with the flash and homage. #Super8 boxd.it/dl0HWF

We’ve unveiled our Two Cents Film Club lineup for March 2026! If you’d like to watch along or even submit your own two cents, check the instructions on the image!

Wow had no idea this existed but now must watch! youtu.be/eZn2WyT7fhE?...

Holy shit! THE BLUFF is fuckin' incredible. Karl Urban is a wonderful scummy villain with the always great Temuera Morrison. But Priyanka Chopra absolutely steals the entire movie. And what a vehicle for her. An absolutely bloody pirate affair with incredible action. She fucks people up, friends.

Our team @cinapse.bsky.social continues our snowy thrillers programming with SMILLA’S SENSE OF SNOW. A 1st time watch for me. Insane cast. Check out our thoughts on this mystery/thriller!

I would die for Granny.

Dick Tracy is one of the most beautiful-looking films ever made. It's a tribute to the way that we remember reading comic books as children - the colors pop, the scale astonishes, the framing always built to be purely rousing. It is a fully-realized world of artifice and emotion.

Ah yes, new film from the directors of the last two BAD BOYS movies. Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah unchained. 2 world records, apparently: Biggest explosion in a movie, and most explosions in one take.

The homie @dougtilley.bsky.social and I are back at it. With special guest, filmmaker Tom Botchii, we dive into some Roddy Piper with 1995’s TOUGH AND DEADLY. Check out the episode and then go watch Tom’s new film RELENTLESS! #film #prowrestling #podcast farsightedblog.com/podcast/botc...

… real weird movie. Streaming on Hoopla. You do get Carl Weathers v Jurgen Prochnow in Australia! boxd.it/daHS7P

This hits US theaters 3/13 from Film Movement. Easily my favorite film of 2026 so far. A masterful old school samurai tale, in the calm, thoughtful, philosophical tradition of THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI. Adored #BUSHIDO. boxd.it/daxXup

Ya know when a movie just doesn’t work but you keep revisiting it probably more times than other movies you probably like a lot more just to see if maybe this time it does work? Anyway, now rewatching:

A good way to feel hope when shit sucks is to just rewatch Lord of the Rings and remember that Hobbits saved Middle Earth and it was long and tiring and they didn't come out unscathed but they did come out the other side.

1) I loved #TheWreckingCrew & feel like Angel Manuel Soto (this, BLUE BEETLE, CHARM CITY KINGS) needs to direct FURIOUS FOREVER. 2) RZA wrote a new track for the movie that bangs so hard & the scene it is featured in rips. music.amazon.com/albums/B0GJ7...

Randomly rewatching CHAIN REACTION for the first time in decades. Michael Shannon just had a single line delivery!

Yall Exit 8 is coming out in April and it’s delicious youtu.be/DlRQ1oatOt8

Here’s my original review for #TheForbiddenCity for @cinapse.bsky.social. If you’re a fan of action, romance, Rome, or mafia movies… do yourself a favor! There’s nothing like it. cinapse.co/2025/09/fant...

I’m touched to be pull quoted in this trailer for #THEFORBIDDENCITY, hitting Digital 3/17 from Well Go USA. This is a special film I will remember after many other titles fade. “Soaring and incomparable” is how I still feel it plays, & I highly recommend prioritizing this one. youtu.be/E02CbJ9dCQY

Proud to see the statement from @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social quoted in this piece. I wonder if this backlash will make any difference and if Sony will roll back this awful decision?!

Yoooo that third episode of A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS!!! Loving the show so far but that took it up a notch.

Been a fan of the work of Jane Campion that I’ve seen, so thought I’d check out notorious critical and commercial flop IN THE CUT. Thought I’d find some hidden insight or something. But nah, I actively disliked it more than any movie in my recent memory. I bristled against almost every choice made.

My headline is now out of date but… this thing rips. cinapse.co/2025/03/sxsw...

FORBIDDEN CITY is absolutely singular and a must see for actionites. My @cinapse.bsky.social rave out of #FantasticFest: cinapse.co/2025/09/fant...

“Conquest” is my fave of the original set of “Apes” flicks, a furious piece of revolutionary cinema, would never have thought the original’s O. Henry simplicity could lead to such a complex series.

Terrence Malick, confirmed Hamnet fan www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Doing some early Tom Cruise titles lately. Revisited A FEW GOOD MEN and BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. Both very good. Just watched ALL THE RIGHT MOVES for the first time. It is way more hard scrabble blue collar coming of age drama than flashy high school film. Enjoyed it!

Highly recommend this beautiful piece, and adore the term "neighborism."

I stand by this message. Thanks @atxfilmcritics.bsky.social for speaking up.

Wow great snow day.

Fuuuuuck yes.

FYI, Fandango at Home has the new Deathstalker on sale for $5 to own. Or if you wanna be a dummy, you can pay $5.99 to rent it instead. athome.fandango.com/content/brow...

#COBRAdeals-- THE VILLAGERS Blu-ray, $24 - amzn.to/4qXXRVn Review: cinapse.co/2026/01/kore...

Feast your eyes on the first look at Yuen Woo-Ping’s BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS. Wu Jing, Nicholas Tse, and Jet Li with Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Max Zhang, and Kara Hui! I can’t imagine anything bigger for Lunar New Year.

Timeline cleanse: A daughter and her creature.

For @cinapse.bsky.social - Ma Dong-seok investigates a missing girl's disappearance in Korean crime thriller THE VILLAGERS (aka ORDINARY PEOPLE) - New on Blu from @wellgousa.bsky.social. cinapse.co/2026/01/kore...

Had a special night last night: Saw THE BONE TEMPLE with a friend, then spontaneously drove to another theater and caught GREENLAND 2. Haven’t done anything like that in a while and it was glorious. Enjoyed both movies, tho BONE TEMPLE blew my mind.

I’ve been sat on this embargo since November and I am utterly thrilled to finally report that THE BONE TEMPLE whips, slaps, and fucks. It is timely, necessary, and metal AF. Good luck to anyone who has to come after Nia DaCosta this year. www.fangoria.com/28-years-lat...
