John Garfield as Marty Mauser Kevin Kline as Bob Ferguson Leslie Howard as Lorenz Hart Jim Brown as Smoke and Stack Moore Max von Sydow as Anders/Mikeael/Fredrik

There's a new Alli Haapasalo film coming out soon, and I don't think we are hyping it up enough.

This film firmly belongs in the drudges of January action thrillers. It is of minor importance, and very little significance. I will definitely forget I ever watched it. My review of Mercy (2.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2026/01/21/r...

I have finalized my Oscar nominations. I have no confidence at all! My final 2025 Oscar Nomination Predictions at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2026/01/20/f...

I appreciate the film for the unflinching vision of director Mona Fastvold and the monumental performance of Amanda Seyfried. The film doesn’t quite get there, but I commend the effort. My review of The Testament of Ann Lee (3.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2026/01/15/r...

As someone who did not like 28 Years Later, THE BONE TEMPLE is an improvement in every single way. Shocked how much I dug it My review at InSession Film insessionfilm.com/movie-review...

With the BAFTAs and SAGs shaking things up, let's check in on the Oscar predictions less than two weeks out. Oscar updates at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2026/01/09/o...

Good morning! Time to look back at 2025 with @nebisben.bsky.social and his Top Ten of 2025! insessionfilm.com/list-ben-mil...

2025 was a GREAT year in film. In a very top-heavy year, here are my picks for the best films. I hope you enjoy it. The Top 10 Films of 2025 at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2026/01/02/t...

2025 was by far my busiest year for film

This film does a fine job of zagging from the well-worn cliches of the zombie film, turning the genre into a backdrop, rather than the selling point. My review of We Bury the Dead (3.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/12/29/r...

This film had a chance to be a crowd-pleaser, and instead gets stuck in a middle ground of middling and misery. That's not a place you want to be. My review of Song Sung Blue (2.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/12/24/r...

This film has a lot going good for it, just don't be surprised when the worst film bro you know keeps telling you how it's a modern-day masterpiece. My review of Marty Supreme (4.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/12/22/r...

This film might be a retread of the same Avatar material, but it's still a thrilling, albeit overlong, and entertaining time at the movies. My review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (3.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/12/16/r...

World Cinema Grandly Represented as the 7th Pandora International Film Critics Nominations Are Revealed With two American heavyweight films front and centre this awards season, even the vastly international body of the Pandora International Film Critics couldn't shy away from Sinners (17…

Just goes to show that it's a good thing most people haven't seen Cimmaron

The most important thing I've ever written...power ranking the songs and performances from White Christmas thefilmexperience.net/blog/2025/12...

While it might not be my favorite of the Blanc films, there's lots to love. If they make 20 more of these movies, I won't complain. My review of Wake Up Dead Man (4.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/12/11/r...

In an attempt to get ahead of the precursor buzz, I took a stab at updating my Oscar predictions! All predictions and charts updated! Oscar Updates: Pre-Precursors at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/12/03/o...

I liked Marty Supreme, but I hope everyone is ready for the inevitable film bros to claim it as their latest masterpiece. Chalamet is great, but A'zion is my MVP.

Not many Oscar Blindspots from 1985, but a good one to start out with! Maybe the most underrated film of the decade, with one of the performances of it from Norma Aleandro. Oscar Blindspots: The Official Story at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/11/17/o...

This film might not be the most action-packed or certainly not the loudest film, but it is one that I won't be forgetting anytime soon. An exceptional film. My review of Train Dreams (4.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/11/21/r...

While this film might not reach the heights it so desperately wants, but it remains an immensely watchable tale. My review of Frankenstein (3.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/11/10/r...

The film may be a bit alienating, but Jennifer Lawrence has literally never been better. It's a towering performance I won't soon forget, in a film with equal impact. My review of Die My Love (4.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/11/07/r...

This film might be exactly the kind of film you expect it to be, but at least Sydney Sweeney is trying her best. She is a bit underrated as an actor, and this film is just another example of her talent. My review of Christy (3.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/11/05/r...

His new film might be exactly his style, but director Yorgos Lanthimos might need to find a new trick before he alienates his audience (even though I liked it). My review of Bugonia (3.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/30/r...

For the sheer amount of ideas the film tries to convey, the film certainly never comes across as boring. A dynamic Colin Farrell performance certainly helps. My review of Ballad of a Small Player (3.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/27/r...

East of Wall hive....RISE!!!!!

Few things are as lazy as a review describing a film as a "love letter to X"

For @insessionfilm.bsky.social, I wrote about the history of films getting 10+ Oscar nominations in a year, and how five films could do it again this year insessionfilm.com/chasing-the-...

While this film may not reach the heights of Richard Linklater's career, it might be Ethan Hawke's best performance. It proves the duo hasn't lost a bit of their power after eight collaborations. My review of Blue Moon (4.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/20/r...

You would be truly shocked at how often characters in old movies get quickly married, just so their characters can bang without running afoul the Hays Code

Is this film good? No. Is it memorable? Also, no. Am I glad I watched it? Again, no. It's excellent background noise while you do laundry. My review of The Woman in Cabin 10 (2.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/13/r...

@vertigay314.bsky.social & @alexmarcus.bsky.social examine the cultural moment that was Tom Holland vs. Zendaya on Lip Sync Battle.

This film is pretty to look at, great to listen to, and as narratively hollow as its predecessors. A hilariously miscast Jared Leto certainly doesn't help. My review of Tron: Ares (3.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/07/r...

While ultimately harmless entertainment, this film doesn't do much to expand on the real-life tragedy, or make it seem particularly thrilling. It's a marked miss from director Paul Greengrass. My review of The Lost Bus (2.5/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/06/r...

This film is almost entirely dependent on your stomach for the subject matter. If you can get past some of the plot elements, the central performances alone are worth the watch. My review of All of You (3.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/03/r...

One of my bigger takes: Wolf of Wall Street is not a great film, and Leo does nothing more than what Jim Carrey does in Liar Liar

Did you know today is the 10th anniversary of The Martian? If you didn't know, now you do. I wrote about it for InSession Film! insessionfilm.com/op-ed-a-look...

While plainly entertaining, the film is ultimately forgettable. For a film rife with narrative potential, I don't really know what the filmmakers were doing. My review of The Smashing Machine (3.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/10/01/r...

One Battle After Another is great if you love Sean Penn, and is also great if you hate Sean Penn

A reminder that Aaron Sorkin is not a good director and I have zero hope he will figure it out this time around

In 2025: 500 movies watched 66 films from 2025 363 first-time watches On pace for 678 letterboxd.com/nebisben/yea...

This is easily the best film I've seen this year, and I would be shocked if something can come along to top it. It's pretty undeniable. My review of One Battle After Another (5.0/5.0) at IceCream4Freaks icecream4freaks.com/2025/09/24/r...
