After Boaty McBoatface they still let the UK public vote on the name of the train that gets rid of the leaves on the track…

Once again putting out into the universe that I am a freelance film journalist, with a focus on horror and almost a decade of experience, looking for paid freelance work. Interviews, reviews, essays for physical releases - would love to write something for you! 🎥 #filmsky

Mid-September, on day 258 of this year, I have 340 edited files saved in my 2025 folder! Phew! We have a busy crew who do it all for the love of film. If you think nothing good has come out this year, you haven’t checked with us. 😉 #FilmSky #MovieSky

During @bosunderground.bsky.social 2025, EoM Contributor @dubsreviews.bsky.social had the chance to cover Alexandre O. Philippe’s new doc CHAIN REACTIONS, exploring the impact of Tobe Hooper’s THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. With the film going wide this week, here’s Justin full spoiler-free review.

Danny and Michael Philippou's BRING HER BACK is a brutal, deeply personal essay on grief, trauma, and madness. You can read my thoughts on the Blu-ray release of BRING HER BACK on @elmntsofmadness.bsky.social at the link below.🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

EoM contributor @dubsreviews.bsky.social got pull quoted on the DVD of #TheDamned (2024)! Check out his review from Tribeca 2024: elementsofmadness.com/2024/06/06/d... #FilmSky #MovieSky

Why am I not surprised that Reddit is the one place where I can find suggestions on how to troubleshoot my HVAC sounding like the TARDIS? 😂

Night Swimming.

Finally had some time to catch K-Pop Demon Hunters. Haven’t been able to log a film since June, so it’s nice to have something fun to update my Letterboxd.

Michelle is the real fucking deal. Hire her of feel my wrath!

Are you a freelance film critic only agreeing to do reviews if a studio is paying for it? If so would love to chat with you for an upcoming piece. You can be anonymous. DMs are open.

The only spoiler in my otherwise spoiler-free review from SXSW answers this question.

Yes!! Love Regina Hall’s Brenda in this series!!

Seeing folks finding FREAKY TALES now that it’s on HBO Max is awesome. Got a little something for everyone in there. Probably why it’s one of my favorites for 2025. Do wish Lionsgate had put a little promotion into it. I feel like this could’ve had legs.

After a perfect storm these last couple weeks, the number of reviews awaiting edits in my inbox is down to a regular, manageable level! 🥳

This week, Dylan Pun's short film SHRIMP FRIED RICE premiered at #FantasiaFest 2025. EoM Contributor @dubsreviews.bsky.social says it, "... will leave you profoundly confused for 45 seconds before having you busting at the seams from laughter." Learn more in his spoiler-free review.

If you missed THUNDERBOLTS*, it’s available on physical and digital formats now. I go over what to expect from the bonus features while digging into why this film has earned its praise. #Thunderbolts

#NakedGun is good. Neither Liam Neeson nor Akiva Schaffer engage in mimicry, seeking to copy or conform their voice to what was; rather, actor and director manage to balance a bit of then and now to create a comedic adventure that’s both fresh and familiar.

You have my attention.

As much as we quote “Third time around!” from “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” (1966), it only clicked this morning that Erronius is Buster Keaton and now I can’t believe it didn’t click waaaaay sooner.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

#FilmChallenge - 26 days, a film you’ve seen for each letter. If you’re missing a letter, you need to fill it in! #FilmSky #MovieSky A - Anna and the Apocalypse Takes aim at Disney musicals, zombie movies, rom-coms, coming-of-age films, & more in a fun holiday romp with a decent soundtrack.

The third outing takes a more serious tone and still remains a good time, even if I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first two. To learn more about my thoughts, here's my spoiler-free review from @fantasiafestival.com 2024. #filmsky

RIP I really enjoyed Madsen’s characters in Tarantino films. Budd in Kill Bill was a top one. #FilmSky #MovieSky

This was a fun one to watch for the first time.

Also in theaters today is a new Danielle Deadwyler horror thriller, 40 ACRES. If audiences so desire, they can experience 40 Acres as a simple family-centric horror thriller. OR, they can find themselves going down a rabbit hole of ideas in which nearly everything we see/hear possesses intention.

DINOSAURS IN THIS ECONOMY?!? That's what director Gareth Edwards has on the docket with JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH, in theaters as of today. EoM Contributor Gabe Lapalombella explores the new film, saying it's, "... by no means a disaster compared to recent installments." #JurassicWorldRebirth #filmsky

Welcome to July and the back half of 2025. I keep a running list of films throughout the year, moving titles up and down as I see new ones, so I have put together all 28 of my current favorites with where to find them, their summaries, and why I think you should track them down. #filmsky

ICYMI: I was honored to be asked to make a list of my 8 favorite horror movies streaming on Shudder! Happy 10 years, @shudder.com! Thanks for all the frights! 🎥 #filmsky #horrorsky

Pursued by a bear

More Steven Universe!! The new series follows Lars and his crew in space. It’s not yet greenlit by Amazon but Rebecca Sugar is on board and excited to be back!

An interesting look at an aspect of the Green Bank Observatory (GBO).

At times, PARADISE RECORDS leans so hard into the homages that it’s more imitation, yet the charm and Logic’s sincerity earn the film its place in audience’s hearts, enabling them to groove with the intrinsic rhythm emanating from the adventure. #Tribeca2025 #filmsky

If you need good horror this weekend, check out #BringHerBack. #FilmSky #MovieSky

Surprise! A new “Predator” film, an anthology, coming hot out of #Tribeca2025! #FilmSky #MovieSky

Coming in a day late on the wonderful Nick Offerman clapback, which is a great time to suggest you to check out #HeartsBeatLoud. The film and its music will do you some good in this wild time. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #FilmSky #MovieSky elementsofmadness.com/2018/06/29/h...

for folks who worry that laughing or using a bit of gallows humor during all of this is bad, somehow, I like to think of these words by the great Carrie Fisher: “If my life wasn't funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.”

ICYMI: Kevin Smith's DOGMA has returned to theaters with a brand-new 4K UHD remaster. Is it worth the price of admission? Does the film hold up? I get into all this and more in my full remaster review.
