LUCID had its world premier at Fantasia Fest last night, 📽️ Filmsky. Based on the 2021 short film by the same name, LUCID paints the artistic process as a form of surgical dissection, painful beyond description but necessary for continued life. www.1ofmystories.com/2025/07/luci...

@underthefan119.bsky.social can you send me the link for your writing about the ending of the Return that references FWWM? I can't seem to find it.

📽️ Film 📺 TV A short study of neurodivergent characters in TV, movies, and pop culture. Nothing too revolutionary but I did put some thought into it. www.1ofmystories.com/2025/05/neur...

Podcast episode about the Alabama Civil Rights Pilgrimage I attended about a year ago. More interviews coming! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Interviewed SAM and NOAH of the documentary SPEAK. about five teens who are preparing for NSDA Nationals. These teens are passionate about their topics and are piping up about the issues that matter to them. www.1ofmystories.com/2025/04/a-co... #SPEAK.

📽️ Filmsky, a review of #WARFARE: In the canon of movies about war, WARFARE tells a unique story. This tight, focused story offers a glimpse into what happens in a soldier's life when the world is on fire. www.1ofmystories.com/2025/04/warf...

📽️ Filmsky, sharing my latest podcast episode about the Arts and Faith top ten list for 2024. Arts & Faith group members Christian Jessup and Brian Duignan join me for this fun and fast-paced discussion about why these films made the list. www.1ofmystories.com/2025/03/arts...

📽️Filmsky Saw WARFARE: Garland lulls viewers into a web of security before pulling the rug out, which makes it all the more devastating when it happens. Once again, the sound design takes center stage in a Garland film. These stars disappear into their roles.

Filmsky 📽️ Here's my write and up and ranking of all the Oscar nominated live-action shorts. www.1ofmystories.com/2024/03/osca...

My review of SHOGUN is up. It's perfect so far. 📺 📺 Who else has seen it yet? www.1ofmystories.com/2024/02/ever...

📺 My last DARK recap (the Netflix show) is complete. The Paradise. www.1ofmystories.com/2024/01/netf... Not sure what I will do with my life now.

📺 Completed my recap of Dark, season 3, episode 6. LIGHT AND SHADOW. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/12/netf...

📽️ Filmsky, Posting my discussion with Andrew Sweatman of Arthouse Garage about The Mission, a 2023 documentary about John Chau's fateful decision to try and evangelize the people of North Sentinel Island. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/11/a-co...

Filmsky 📽️ Linking in reviews to NAPOLEON and THE HUNGER GAMES: BATTLE OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES. Found Napoleon to be dull and pointless and not even educational. The Hunger Games prequel kept me invested. Perhaps a contender for best original song. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/11/napo...

📽️ Filmsky, posting a double feature review of Anatomy of a Fall & The Holdovers, both getting awards buzz. I loved both. Anatomy is thought provoking (a French Staircase murder) and Holdovers is an instant holiday classic. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/11/anat...

📽️ Filmsky, my review of ANATOMY OF A FALL is live. Also, you can follow me on Letterboxd if you want (as well as here). boxd.it/58ch4P

📽️ Filmsky, my review of David Fincher's THE KILLER is live. Podcast and transcript both available in the link. The first part of the talk is spoiler-free, and then I address a question that a fellow critic sent me about a baffling character decision. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/11/davi...

📽️Filmsky, Horrorsky WHEN EVIL LURKS The director and cinematographer show their knowledge of the genre by expertly employing the concept of show/don't show. Read my full review on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/1ofmystories...

Moviesky, didn’t really expect When Evil Lurks to go there.

Are there any DARK fans on Bluesky? 📺 I'm still finishing my written recaps of the show. They are the most exhausting thing I've ever worked on, but the comments from happy fans make it all worthwhile. Just finished episode 3.5 Life and Death. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/10/netf...

📽️ Moviesky, While not original in plot, THE KILLER is an impressive bit of filmmaking. Gorgeously shot and impeccably edited. Not since Drive has there been a more methodical character. Not since Coppola's The Conversation has there been a more purposeful sound design.

📺 Every once in awhile, I queue up episode 3.21 of Law and Order CI. One of the best episodes of tv and one of my favorite Goren-Eames episodes.

Filmsky 📽️: Can you find the wolves in this picture? Ernest himself is both sheep and wolf – a true unreliable narrator. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/10/kill...

Horrorsky, I have a precious two week trial to Shudder. What should I watch? Any great Shudder exclusives? I like 70s/80s, atomic culture, horror, folk horror, trauma horror (Flanagan), cannibal horror (Raw), I was happy to find Mandy and Violation on there. Help me @redheadfrommars.bsky.social

ICYMI: Fellow member of NC Film Critics Association, @1ofmystories.bsky.social, was kind enough to invite me on her podcast to talk about Mike Flanagan's work and THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER! This was so much fun! Listen to us break down the new Netflix series at the link! 📺#horrorsky

📺 Mike Flanagan continues to weave timeless truths into his material. In THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, Roderick has a way with words as evidenced by his leanings towards poetry, but now he channels that gift into motivational speeches like the lemon speech. For good or evil, he has that gift.

Filmsky, 📽️ The source material for KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is like a 1000-piece puzzle, and Scorsese has done a remarkable job shaping the pieces into a single narrative story. Lily Gladstone is iridescent and DiCaprio plays his most internally conflicted character ever.

I'm joined by @redheadfrommars.bsky.social to talk about THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER. We are both devoted Flanagan followers. You can find the talk here or on my 1 of my Stories podcast. 📺 www.1ofmystories.com/2023/10/the-...

“So, I’m just going to take this cocaine, if that’s alright” Hahahah. Henry Thomas is a national treasure. House of Usher rules.

Watched The Crow for the first time since 1994. What a wild movie. Has there ever been a more 90s movie? Great gothic imagery, but why does the score sound like a Spielberg fantasy?

Filmsky, 📽️ This week I was a guest on the Movie Proposal podcast. We talked about THE CREATOR. You can hear the conversation at this link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... I ended up talking a lot about the Spielberg/Kubrick movie A.I. It's my favorite ugly baby movie.

At the Dan Deacon concert! I feel special.

Filmsky, Reviews up for ROYAL HOTEL & FAIR PLAY. Anyone looking for a thriller? Pick your flavor: Australian bush or corporate workplace drama with a side of sexy 📽️ www.1ofmystories.com/2023/10/roya...

Thank Heaven! the crisis, The danger, is past, And the lingering illness Is over at last— And the fever called "Living" Is conquered at last. 📺 The Netflix show THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER launches tomorrow. Spoiler-free preview: bit.ly/3t31oZT

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. Coming 10/12 THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER bit.ly/3t31oZT

"The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. I must not only punish but punish with impunity." Coming 10/12. #TheFalloftheHouseofUsher. bit.ly/3t31oZT

Watching Fair Play. Emily is making so many mistakes. I want to give her some advice badly.

My review of #TheCreator is live. Despite being packed with tropes and more coincidences than a Nora Ephron movie, The Creator impresses with its scale and grandeur. www.1ofmystories.com/2023/10/gare...
