Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?

I received some feedback that I somehow must've fallen lock-step with a critical consensus that was deliberately staged to humiliate those who went on racist tirades against this movie being inauthentic. I honestly had no idea about this baffling narrative until after I posted my review.

Review of The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's mesmerizing epic that is as grand in its thrills as it is thoughtful in its portrayal of complex characters and the power of storytelling. #Movies #FilmSky #TheOdyssey movieswithmark.com/the-odyssey-...

I'm on here tonight if y'all still wanna hear about Obsession.

Alex Meyers went from reviewing cartoons and Disney Channel movies to Obsession. It did not go well. Check out my latest video on how horribly he misreads movies, including one of the year's best horror films. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwQp...

Review of Romeria, a wonderfully contemplative movie about a teenager trying to uncover the truth about her biological parents through her family's conflicting accounts. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/romeria-revi...

Ever seen Lawrence of Arabia? Ever seen it...in 70mm? That's the way to see it! It's also what I'll be introducing at the Heights Theater in Columbia Heights, MN, this Sunday at 1 pm. #Movies #FilmSky

Video review of #Moana, a remake that changes none of its script or music, evoking the same pointlessness I felt with last year's How to Train Your Dragon remake. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGm4...

Review of Moana, a remake that is easy on the eyes and ears, but brings nothing new to this adaptation. #Movies #FilmSky #Moana movieswithmark.com/moana-2026-r...

Video review of Citizen Vigilante, one of the most vile and poorly made movies of the year. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3X3...

Now Watching Moana. Could've sworn I saw this a decade ago, but whatever.

Review of Night Nurse, an erotic thriller that mostly works for its odd premise and intoxicating direction. #FilmSky #Movies movieswithmark.com/night-nurse-...

Review of Citizen Vigilante, a deeply hateful, racist, and poorly made revenge fantasy that is easily Uwe Boll's worst movie by a massive margin. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/citizen-vigi...

Video review of She's The He, a coming-of-age comedy that is thoughtful in its depiction of trans teens, heartfelt in its focus on friendships, and wonderfully raunchy in its gags. #FilmSky #Movies www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT8T...

"Everybody at the new bar that doesn't serve bigots was really mean to me, and nobody bought me a drink or commented on my credentials or wanted to talk to me. This place was stupid, and everybody who goes there is stupid."

Backrooms evoked a fear of manufactured memories that I try to express in this video essay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0111...

Video review of Minions & Monsters, a surprisingly clever animated movie with better characters, arcs, and gags than previous entries in this franchise, laced with some charming homages to classic Hollywood movies. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcjj...

Video review of Supergirl, a stumbling yet fun-enough start for the superhero's debut in this new DC cinematic universe. #Movies #FilmSky #Supergirl www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG8R...

Review of Minions & Monsters, a surprisingly charming and clever entry in this long-running franchise. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/minions-mons...

Now Watching Minions and Monsters. #Movies #FilmSky

Review of Couture, an underdeveloped drama on the pains of fashion careers that mostly feels like a waste of a fine performance by Angelina Jolie. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/couture-revi...

Review of Supergirl, a decent yet disappointing debut for the superhero that deserves a story less routine. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/supergirl-20...

New video essay on Melonie Mac and how she uses her Christianity to defend her bigotry when it comes to media analysis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MND7...

I finally watched all of The Amazing Digital Circus, front to back. I didn't care for it. A narrative mess that tosses so much at the wall with little of it sticking.

A big thanks to all who stopped by the 50K AMA stream. It's nice to hear the congratulations, but it's all the more wonderful that I received many comments from those who have gotten more into movies and discussing them more thoughtfully, thanks to my videos. youtube.com/live/os-OZ3T...

Happy Father's Day. I didn’t have a good idea for a dad video this year, so check out my older video on dadcore movies. youtu.be/3ODQylH6YGY

Review of She's the He, a teen comedy that thankfully retools the gender-flipping scenario into something more thoughtful while still being incredibly funny. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/shes-the-he-...

Video review of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's humanistic alien conspiracy picture that takes some ambitious swings. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgiU...

Video review of Backrooms and why it's an effective horror for more than a monster lurking in an office. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk-v...

Video review of Toy Story 5, a sequel that still has some heart left in these old toys. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNyh...

Now LIVE on YouTube, reviewing Toy Story 5, Disclosure Day, Backrooms! #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgNF...

Review of Toy Story 5, a surprisingly fun and heartfelt return to some old friends, even if there are far too many characters and arcs crammed into this entry. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/toy-story-5-...

A big thanks to the 50k subscribers on YouTube.

The latest video in my Masculinity in Movies series covers the John Wick movies and how they're not exactly as sigma or stoic as some perceive them to be. #FilmSky #Movies www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgUh...

Now Watching Toy Story 5. #Movies #FilmSky

Y'all like scaffolding? youtu.be/JQ_o_9MaJ24?...

I finally saw Backrooms, and it's an astounding horror film that taps into the distortion of memory and the dangers of nostalgia, while still being one of the creepiest nightmare-movie locations. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/backrooms-re...

RIP Gene Shalit, an alliteration fiend of a film critic, referring to Ishtar as "ish-terrible."

Review of Disclosure Day, a Spielberg sci-fi adventure with grand ideas on human connection amid an alien conspiracy theory. #movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/disclosure-d...

Video review of Masters of the Universe (2026), an absurd fantasy based on a toy that tries a little too hard for jokes and too little with its themes. #Movies #FilmSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSed...

Coming up at the top of the hour, I'll be live on YouTube reviewing Masters of the Universe, Power Ballad, and Pressure. youtube.com/live/znsYr4N...

My latest addition to the Banned Movies series on my Patreon is Persepolis, for obvious reasons. www.patreon.com/posts/160278...

Review of Power Ballad, another heartfelt and inspiring film from John Carney (Sing Street) about the power of music and fragile bonds of friendship. #Movies #FilmSky movieswithmark.com/power-ballad...

New video on The Quartering and his strange obsession with Captain Marvel, which set him down a dark path of grifting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9fD...

Now Watching Power Ballad

Review of Masters of the Universe, a film that has some fun here and there, but is too hung up on self-deprecatory humor to be consistently funny and too satisfied with its gay subtext to ever break the barriers of its Saturday morning cartoon origins. movieswithmark.com/masters-of-t...

Now Watching #Mastersoftheuniverse
