It’s a rare thing that I get to write about Nigeria in my work. That I get to do it to champion a film like My Father’s Shadow makes it extra special. Read all about it in @empiremagazine.bsky.social’s latest issue, out now.

Today's rewatch. Still slaps. #AKnightsTale

In the words of Dr Manhattan... It is 2026, and I'm saying goodbye to this cast of X-Men. It is 2014, and I'm saying goodbye to this cast of X-Men. It is 2006, and I'm saying goodbye to this cast of X-Men.

#StrangerThings thoughts: a solid, but ultra safe finale. Action was pretty satisfying. The final scene is perfect. But man, I wish this franchise had some balls and took some genuine risks.

Seems like Doom is rounding up all the special kiddies. Franklin. Fate. Cap junior. Maybe a Rachel Summers... #AvengersDoomsday

There's @amonwarmann.bsky.social back on #BahHumbug to chat #JingleBellHeist, the coziest crime movie about this Christmas. open.spotify.com/episode/6OGC...

This is one of the coolest tube posters I’ve seen #WakeUpDeadMan #KnivesOut

Love this.

Goldilocks waking up:

Tonight’s entertainment… #SpiderVerse

Imagining the Studio-esque conversations the suits must’ve had about this is a fun but demoralising exercise. Can we please stop scraping the IP barrel and try for something new?

#Sinners is my personal favourite film of the year, and it was a blast catching up with Ryan Coogler in November to tell him that it’s also Team @empiremagazine.bsky.social’s best film of the year. Read our convo in this month’s issue.

This is probably the best thing I've read all year about the movie *business.* Bravo, @aadowd.bsky.social

Sometimes when you get a bunch of Black film and TV journos together for a Christmas meet up and you have a debate about which Sister Act movie is better (it's Sister Act 2, btw), this happens...

It's a KNIVES OUT special! @amonwarmann.bsky.social chats to Kerry Washington, Cailee Spaeny, & Rian Johnson about WAKE UP DEAD MAN, and we review the film! Plus, in our HOT TAKE, ask: should directors who want a theatrical release stop making deals with streamers? open.spotify.com/episode/6yzy...

“We’re not in Kansas anymore…” #Avatar @disneystudios.bsky.social

#28YearsLater: The Bone Temple - Yet more evidence that when you let Nia DaCosta cook, great things tend to happen. So much to love, with Ralph Fiennes walking away with the MVP and tearing the house down with one especially insane sequence that rightfully drew applause. Go see!

About last night… A fun Q&Amon for #F1Movie with Jerry Bruckheimer, Sarah Niles, Kerry Condon, and more…

spoke to noah baumbach about the very nature of interpreting art & intention which feels like exactly the sort of conversation you want to have with noah baumbach

Is that you, Andrea Beaumont?! (Reminder - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman film of all time)

10 years since its release, and the needle drop of Rocky's ‘Gonna Fly Now’ theme in Creed still hits like pure adrenaline. A big reason why maybe my favourite Ryan Coogler movie is right up there with Top Gun: Maverick for best legacy sequel honours. So good!

Had a great time last night at BFI discussing the work of James Cameron and airing my theory that The Abyss is actually his most important film. Great chairing by @helenlohara.bsky.social and lovely chat with @amonwarmann.bsky.social and Madeleine Mullett.

Still some tickets left if you'd like to come to The Worlds Of James Cameron discussion panel tonight at the BFI with me, @amonwarmann.bsky.social @grmorgan.bsky.social and the BFI's Madeleine Mullett. It's going to be fun! whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/artic...

Tonight’s entertainment. Hyped!

I can immediately visualise the scenes this music is set to. Really good work from Ayhan music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIsZ...

Lorne Balfe's work on Black Adam belongs in the great score for a bad movie Hall Of Fame. And as it happens, I'm making a playlist for exactly that. Any other suggestions? www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9yd...

Alternative title: Wicked For Realz, No Takebacks
