Starting Noirvember off with a banger:

If HALLOWEEN owes the most to anyone it's Dean Cundey.

It's their night

A DANGEROUS METHOD is better than its reputation. MAPS TO THE STARS also a sneaky banger.

Ending Spooky Season viewing with a week of holiday themed horror: boxd.it/PK5Le

TRON ARES, a movie I had zero expectations for, is deeply annoying in a very specific way: I'm not as aggravated by the 5 ways it was bad as I am by the 3 ways it was kind of interesting.

Four mojitos deep. Fuck it.

I reviewed SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE, which is more interesting as a creative process character study than anything else. It mostly works! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I would absolutely never want to be a cop, but if I was, I'd have a blast calling my boss "The Commish". I'd make a real meal out of it.

James L. Brooks' first film in 15 years, #EllaMcCay, arrives this December. See the new trailer and poster: thefilmstage.com/james-l-broo...

What are some of your favorite Bill Paxton performances? Club Dread is up there. Frailty (shown below) True Lies

With My Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Kogonada delightfully exploits the simple joy of beautiful people falling in love on screen. Read @codonnell.bsky.social's review as the film arrives digitally:

One of the great pleasures of True Grit is the faces everyone makes as they realize nobody has ever verbally destroyed them before like 14-year old Mattie Ross.

In the latest ep of the DECADE PROJECT on @ohmpods.bsky.social Patreon I catch up with The B-Side at @thefilmstage.com boys - @codonnell.bsky.social and @djmecca.bsky.social - about the excitement for an Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck flick in the wake of HALF NELSON. www.patreon.com/posts/136742...

Game over, man! On our latest, @billyraybrewton.bsky.social returns to discuss the career of Bill Paxton! From BRAIN DEAD to FRAILTY (and more) we talk about what made Paxton so captivating in roles of all sizes: bit.ly/46VMRko

Haven't watched this in 25 years. Still rips.

Jared Leto being considered a bankable star is like how rich people think ideas from their group chats are real.
