It's been a little while with Moving Targets, but we're getting back on course with this belated review of The Phoenician Scheme:

Tomorrow night, 7pm (doors open 6.30pm). Time for Melbourne's Don Weis fans to stand up and be counted.

On Terry Chiu's Open Doom Crescendo, a favourite at the recent Brunswick Underground Film Festival (and now available on Blu-ray): www.jakewilson.com.au/p/the-outsid...

Moving Targets goes long on the mysteries of Nathan Fielder.

What is Ryan Coogler really saying in Sinners? Some speculations.

Notes on Henry King's 1925 version of Stella Dallas, which I introduced recently at Cinema Reborn in Melbourne (and which is just as good as the Barbara Stanwyck remake).

What is John Mulaney doing? I tried to work it out, with special reference to Everybody's Live.

Screening soon in Sydney and Melbourne at the Fantastic Film Festival Australia.

I didn't love the new Snow White, but I enjoyed writing about it.

New free post! Now with fewer typos!

In tribute to the late Val Kilmer, this week's Moving Targets piece is on Real Genius (paywalled, but you can read the opening).

The late Corinne Cantrill and her husband Arthur, who survives her, were among the most significant Australian filmmakers of any kind -- and as people, also extremely significant for me personally. I wrote about Corinne recently in The Age, but this piece is less official, so to speak.

The new Moving Targets post, on two films that barely made it to cinemas here in Australia. For those in Melbourne, In The Lost Lands is still on at Reading Cinemas in Dandenong if you rush.

A call for contributions. Please share far and wide.

This should have gone up yesterday, here’s the latest Moving Targets piece, free for all to read, on Sophie Fillières’ Ma vie ma gueule, now at the French Film Festival. I also say a few things about her earlier films.

In the Age today, my tribute to Corinne Cantrill:

New on Moving Targets, on Jacques Tourneur's The Fearmakers (and why it matters how you see it).

The latest free Moving Targets piece, on Frederick Wiseman's 2017 documentary Ex Libris: The New York Public Library (screening in New York soon).

My new Moving Targets piece, on Emilia Pérez and related matters. Paywalled, but the opening is free.

Moving Targets is back on schedule. This one’s free.

Moving Targets this week looks at Severance – you’ll need a subscription, but the opening is free. movingtargets.substack.com/p/severance-cuts-loose

For the Age and SMH, I spoke to Miguel Gomes about Grand Tour. Not paywalled for the moment.

This week’s Moving Targets piece, something a bit different.

New at Moving Targets, some notes on Inside Out 2:

Departing from the regular schedule at Moving Targets, a special tribute to David Lynch. Again, this is free to read.

This week, I wrote about Charles Vidor's 1944 Cover Girl, because it's never a bad time to write about Rita Hayworth musicals. The piece is not about David Lynch, but it's dedicated to him.

Also online by me today, at the Age and SMH: a review of the very strange (not in a good way) Monster Summer.

Here's the first paid post on my new film criticism Substack -- a look into the shadows of Clint Eastwood's Juror #2. Click over to read the first couple of paragraphs for free.
