Had an absolute blast watching Eenie Meanie. Samara Weaving absolutely knocks it out of the park.

Me: *waits patiently for the latest @markokloos.bsky.social novel to be released* Corvus comes out, and 24 hours later I've demolished it in one sitting... Back to waiting for Eclipse and Cygnus... Ps. Corvus is a great addition to the Frontlines series and one any Sci-fi fan will enjoy.

I can't be the only one who finds themselves constantly thinking back to the cinematography and direction in Athena? Romain Gavras & Matias Boucard delivered and then some.

It's great to see Channel 4 breaking new ground by commissioning digital dramas. Beth is a meditative and delicately told story by Uzo Oleh of a couple's attempt to conceive.

Death Valley is delightfully charming. Really hoping it gets a second series as the chemistry between Timothy Spall & Gwyneth Keyworth is bloody lovely.

It was lovely to see Manchester Film Festival so busy yesterday, and an even lovelier moment to have Paul Holbrook & the Boys Like You team win Best Director.

Is anyone else really excited for Death of a Unicorn?

Talking about animation #WolfKing over on Netflix is a really enjoyable adaptation of Curtis Jobling books. Some gorgeous animated sequences.

Also out this weekend is the beautiful and remarkable Oscar winning #Flow It's proof that independent animation ought to be screamed about every chance we get.

There's a couple of exceptional films being released this weekend, including Sandhya Suri's spectacular debut #Santosh which usurps the conventions of a police procedural to question societal hierarchies and expectations around gender. #film

I really enjoyed The Score when it was released back in 2021. It felt incredibly bold, confident and frankly different to see a musical heist as a debut feature. It's a shame it wasn't more widely seen at the time, and well worth checking out. #film

Alrighty time to start season 3 of #WheelofTime

To say Adolescence is a difficult watch would be an understatement. It's such a raw and emotionally charged exploration of male rage and indoctrination. Absolutely spectacular storytelling and craft to tell it in one shot.

Late to the party as usual, but Resident Alien is a lot of fun. Alan Tudyk remains a master of his craft.

It's always such a lovely privilege to speak at the @rtsmedia.bsky.social North West Student & Industry Networking Day. Events like this are so vital in bridging the gap between education and industry.

This list is coming along nicely, but I bet there are more of you on here already. Do spread the word, and give me a wave if you'd like to be included!

#WildRobot left me speechless. It's such a delicate and wonderfully told story. Every frame feels like a masterpiece. Debating going back into the cinema to rewatch it...
