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:

"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:

"While you might think the film will go into one direction, it does a complete 180 and delivers good scares and darkly humorous moments." Here's a movie for all the hopeless romantics out there. Nathan Sherwood reviews Obsession, which played at this year's TIFF right here:

!!!!!!!!!

"For a directorial debut from one of the most famous actors working today, I suppose that’s not nothing of a start." Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, which premiered at TIFF 2025, reviewed by Bode Sulaiman over here:

"It might be a stretch to call One Battle After Another a truly radical movie, but in an era where mainstream cinema has been so starved of explicitly political messaging, it feels like a shock to the system." Jaime Rebanal reviews One Battle After Another over here:

"The documentary acts more of a celebration of who John Candy was as a person both on screen and off as opposed to the usual documentary style, not that there’s anything wrong with that." The opening night film of this year's TIFF, John Candy: I Like Me, is reviewed by Nathan Sherwood here:

"If the red, white, and blue title card didn’t already make it clear, this is a film about the American Dream or at least its darker undercurrents." Jack Cox reviews Carolina Caroline, which premiered at this year's TIFF right here:

"Every moment of this movie feels so sprawling, but considering the many influences that this story will lay on the table, it only feels like it builds as all the best Hollywood epics would do so." Catch Jaime Rebanal's review of Ne Zha 2 right here:

"Fuck My Son! is a movie that pushes the boundaries of what can be seen and what audiences find humorous." Read Nathan Sherwood's review of this shocking premiere from this year's TIFF over here:

"Although more subdued, Hedda keeps audiences entranced through the complicated feelings of love and the many conflicts it can create." Connor Walsh reviews Nia DaCosta's take on Hedda Gabler right here:

"A few choices feel overstated, and Johnson’s star persona occasionally slips through, but The Smashing Machine remains a gripping, deeply felt portrait." Jack Cox reviews The Smashing Machine right here:

"This is a film of mood and immersion, one that works on both a sensory and emotional level." Jack Cox reviews The Testament of Ann Lee, which played at this year's TIFF down below:

"Even while del Toro hews faithfully to the tone of Shelley’s novel, he isn’t one to keep his whimsy out of the picture." Jaime Rebanal reviews Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, which played at TIFF this year, over here:

"This story is indeed a ridiculous one, but when you remember that it’s just an ordinary guy trying to make the best of his circumstances, perhaps you might see yourself rooting for him too." Jaime Rebanal reviews Roofman, which premiered at this year's TIFF, right here:

"Where No Other Choice finds its greatest successes lies in the fact it’s a thriller where he forces you to see the world in the same way that You Man-soo does." Jaime Rebanal reviews the latest film from South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook, which played at TIFF this year, over here:

"Aside from the commentary, the film has very clever visual gags involving people continually tripping over something or being oblivious to something right behind them." Connor Walsh reviews Good News from TIFF 2025 right here:

"With breathtaking animation, rich character work, and genuine emotional heft, this may be the best-animated film of the year." Jack Cox reviews Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle right here!

"Normal is a solid film and has potential in becoming an exciting franchise. But with as many John Wick clones as there are, it needs to differentiate itself more." Connor Walsh reviews Normal, from this year's TIFF right here:

"While it may not be as strong as the previous two instalments, Johnson still delivers a great movie thanks to his signature storytelling and humour, and Daniel Craig’s lovable Southern Detective Benoit Blanc." Nathan Sherwood reviews the latest Knives Out chapter, from TIFF 2025 right here:

"For Toronto locals, it’s an especially fun curiosity whether you’re nostalgic for the original show or simply eager to watch Johnson and McCarrol riff their way through another absurd adventure." Back with more from #TIFF25 with Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie reviewed by Jack Cox!

"Shanks at least gives us some freaky imagery built from the nature of the transformations we’re seeing here, but even the most impressive effects work we’re seeing here comes undone by the lack of commitment to its physicality." Read Jaime Rebanal's review of Together here:
