My final Sundance review, and my first five stars of the year in a written review. The Musical took me by surprise and had me howling with laughter. This is gonna be a future cult classic.

Can’t believe I spent Valentine’s Day in tears* *I watched Portrait of a Lady On Fire on the big screen.

NEW REVIEW — New theatrical release weekend! A choice option for an irreverent time is #GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie, which is more inclusive than it needed to be. @supergavigator.bsky.social takes us through it: www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Gonna be a brave boy and say we absolutely do not need a God of War Trilogy remake.

NEW REVIEW — Currently in select theaters, Lav Diaz's #Magellan (ft. Gael García Bernal) is the Filipino auteur's most accessible yet. Our diversity review by @supergavigator.bsky.social: www.mediaversityreviews.com/film-reviews...

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

New Mediaversity review! Magellan isn’t for everyone, but I for one was hooked.

Has anyone shot a feature film using a Nintendo DS?

Bonus Palm Springs coverage! Got to sit down with Michael Greyeyes for a soulful chat about Meadowlarks and authentic Indigenous representation. Check it out over @filmhounds.co.uk:

Spent my Sunday afternoon watching what is possibly the film of the decade. Genuinely at a loss for words.

good reasons not to use ChatGPT and other AIs: 1. it is a tool of fascism 2. once you are in its ecosystem, and rely on it, it can be used to manipulate you 3. if a service is free, *you* are the product I know it's convenient, but resistance requires us to be uncomfortable for the greater good

That went really well (I think, anyway) Full interview coming soon!

Don’t usually get too nervous before film interviews, but knowing I’m gonna be chatting with cinema royalty this evening has got me feeling 🫠

Very excited for tonight’s entertainment!

I may not be in Park City for Sundance, but at least I get to watch films in my pyjamas! Coverage thread below!

Probably my favorite in the franchise, but it still has issues. Needs less Jimmys and more Samson/Kelson

Finally off to see the doctor!

Literal days before Christmas, I spoke with Die My Love cinematographer Seamus McGarvey for @filmhounds.co.uk We got into the weeds on Ektochrome film stock, shooting on film, and how Lawrence and Pattinson are the best free-range chicken actors.

Having so much fun editing my Seamus McGarvey interview, particularly as he refers to Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson as “the best free range chicken actors in the world.”

No Other Choice snubbed?!

Three things I’d love to see tomorrow at the Oscar noms: Sorry, Baby for Original Screenplay Wunmi Mosaku for Supporting Actress No Other Choice for literally anything (but it deserves noms across multiple categories!)

Here you go folks, my top 10 films of 2025! Going by UK release dates here, and of course there’s some films I haven’t seen yet. Still, a very tough task to highlight just ten when it’s been an incredible year for cinematic storytelling

It’s been a stellar year for cinema, and @filmhounds.co.uk writers have picked out some of their favourite scenes to demonstrate that! Thanks @paulkleinyo.bsky.social for getting this feature together.

One of the most difficult reviews I’ve had to write, but a piece I’m proud of. Thanks to @mediaversityreviews.com for their guidance and terrific advice in putting this all together!

Got a potential all-timer double bill today with Marty Supreme then The Secret Agent. Big possibility I don’t survive due to stress.

As the year comes to a close check out our very special digital mini issue as we reveal our top 10 films of 2025 filmhounds.co.uk/2025/12/film...

Spending a sunny, cheery Xmas Eve playing Alan Wake II

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

In crazy news, I’m off to Palm Springs and LA in the new year for the Palm Springs Film Fest 🤯 My American mutuals: pls give recommendations you may have on what to do and where to go. And editors, call me up if you need any review and/or interview coverage!

A great day for me: First day off day job for three weeks En route to Avatar: Fire and Ash in IMAX And one of my besties has JUST HAD A BABY!!
