I was recovering from being the sickest I'd ever been when I went to see MARTY SUPREME. After it, I was SO WIRED that I thought I was cured (I was not)! The second Great American Movie of this year. Kevin O'Leary shockingly good? Timothée Chalamet a GOD. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

for @inverse.com I ranked the top 15 sci-fi movies and tv shows of 2025, from anti-fascist Star Wars to a miserable woman who has to save the planet and even an underdog Predator, here's the best science fiction of 2025: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

It’s the 10th anniversary of “Heaven Sent,” not just DOCTOR WHO’s best episode but one of the best TV episodes ever! In another world where Capaldi’s era was not underrated, it’d be on all the “Best TV Episodes” lists www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

THE SECRET AGENT is incredible. A shapeshifter of a movie that defies its political thriller genre trappings, its much more than its (admittedly magnificent) central performance by Wagner Moura. Out now in limited release: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I'm always grateful when @htranbui.bsky.social lets me pop up with something new at @inverse.com. It's about that time, so here's my take on the best of 2025's horror crop!

Has anyone had a better year than EJAE? I profiled the singer-songwriter behind the KPOP DEMON HUNTERS mega-hit "Golden" for this year's Inverse Awards! Keep an eye on this space for more great end-of-year pieces. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I had a great interview with Edgar Wright, in which we talked about how he consolidated his lighter instincts as a director with a bleak story like THE RUNNING MAN, and the very funny direction he gave Glen Powell for his silly accents: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed DIE MY LOVE, which is very much a showcase for Jennifer Lawrence. But to be fair she is absolutely, devastatingly, tremendous www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

PLURIBUS premieres this Friday!! And Vince Gilligan doesn't want you to know anything about it. I chatted with Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn about why there's so much mystery around their amazing new sci-fi show: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Despite loving PREY, I had no expectations going into PREDATOR: BADLANDS. But to my surprise, I had a blast. Dan Trachtenberg, how could I ever doubt you. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I voted early for Zohran and they gave me an extra Halloween sticker as a treat

Also I wrote about Radu Jude's DRACULA and how its use of AI — whether you vibe with it or not — is definitely the most interesting and radical way it's been used in movies thus far (out now in select theaters): www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER is messy and kind of incoherent, but Colin Farrell is very good as an unhinged gambling addict who may have found himself in hell? Still, I prob liked it better than most, especially when it takes a supernatural turn. Now on Netflix: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I chatted with BUGONIA writer Will Tracy about the movie's wild twist, the differences between this film and the Korean original, and what its ending means in this day and age: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Via @htranbui.bsky.social 😔https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/at-the-mountains-of-madness-guillermo-del-toro

I interviewed Mary Bronstein about how one very bad day created the most distressing psychological thriller of the year (go see IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU): www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

It’s alive!

J.R.R. Tolkien's full name was Jonathan Ronathan Rolkien Tolkien

THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is definitely the most I’ve cried at the movies in YEARS. What powerful, effective cinema

I never posted my review of THE MASTERMIND, which I loved dearly! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

If you have the opportunity, go see IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT in theaters now. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Just realized LURKER is on MUBI now! A good, gripping debut: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU, in which Rose Byrne is life-shatteringly good. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN is pretty spectacular thanks to a star-making turn from Tonatiuh and director Bill Condon’s eye for the old-school Hollywood razzle dazzle. Very queer and very sincere! In theaters now! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed ROOFMAN, which I was very charmed by! Maybe Channing Tatum's best performance, while Derek Cianfrance is having a blast doing his best Soderbergh: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, which I liked, even if it doesn't do much more than what's on the tin (make you very tense): www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

#NYFF thread here we go!

I had a big bold beautiful interview with Kogonada, and naturally we talked about Hayao Miyazaki movies www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I love movies!!

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is bracingly relevant, breathlessly propulsive, and fun as hell. Leo has never been better. Teyana Taylor is a force of nature. Chase Infiniti is a star! PTA has another masterpiece on his hand. Movie of the year!! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY feels like a live-action remake of an anime movie I haven't seen — and that's both good and bad. Visually stunning & swooningly romantic, but underbaked. But Kogonada is doing things he's never done before and I will ride for him www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

First Venice Film Festival done! I missed a few I wanted to see (ANN LEE, the new Bigelow, I will find you) but i’m so happy that I could check another bucket-list festival off my list!

My job is b̵e̵a̵c̵h̵ #Biennale

NE ZHA II might be one of the most insane theatrical experiences I’ve had this year. I don’t know if US audiences are ready for it. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Forgot to share my review of BOYS GO TO JUPITER, a lovely little indie animated movie about hustle culture and singing aliens. Catch this hidden gem if it's playing near you (currently playing in NY and LA): www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

HIGHEST 2 LOWEST: The first half is truly baffling, with a score so distracting it pitches into parody. Then it becomes awesome. My review of Spike Lee's bold and odd remake of a Kurosawa masterpiece that thankfully does something very different: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

forgot to share earlier but now that it’s streaming on Criterion I wrote about the hypnotic, singular cinematic achievement that is Jia Zhangke’s CAUGHT BY THE TIDES www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

annoying my friends about Pluto TV for the past month has WORKED

FREAKIER FRIDAY is...fine! Cute and frothy but a tad too frantic. It's nice to see Lindsay Lohan show that she never lost her comedic charms though. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

i need to stop reviewing tv shows...i almost always get pissed off when it gets bad and it turns out i have 5 more episodes to watch

ALIEN: EARTH is great...until it isn't. Noah Hawley delivers some terrifying, nail-biting thrills that rival the best ALIEN movies, but the "prequel" series has some frustratingly opaque characters that I'm not sure I want to spend multiple seasons with. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I reviewed CLOUD (opening wide this week), which is proof that no one gets the chilly loneliness of the digital age like Kiyoshi Kurosawa. An unnerving paranoid saga about living under the cold grip of late capitalism. Being a reseller is hard! My review: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

With the full release of THE SANDMAN season 2 (barring a bonus episode dropping next week), I wrestle with the Gaiman of it all, and an imperfect adaptation of a story that I once loved: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

EDDINGTON: Ari Aster's brain may be too rotted. As a BEAU IS AFRAID defender, I'm afraid Ari Aster is not the right person to make a COVID movie. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Superman

SUPERMAN is the closest thing you can get to being dropped in the middle of a comic book: wildly geeky, chaotic, and tooth-achingly earnest. Though sometimes I wish it felt more like a movie I couldn’t help but be moved by it. Yes reader, I cried. www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

SUPERMAN: The closest thing we’ll get to a live-action Saturday morning cartoon. The cast (esp David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan) is literally perfect. It’s a shame it looks like that. Full review coming soon!

Pssst I’m in this!

Inverse's 2025 Blockbuster Issue is here! Featuring Stephanie Beatriz on the cover, this year's issue is all about the current state of the blockbuster. And it's looking...apocalyptic. www.inverse.com/blockbuster-...

I reviewed MEGAN 2.0, which doubles down on the camp to give us a genre remixing horror-comedy bonanza! Yes, it’s 15 min too long, but a diva’s gonna vamp www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
