My favorite kind of piece to write: when I file it and the editor replies “You made me want to seek these out.” My report for the Marquee about the V-Cinema retrospective in Rotterdam.

Rachel, you’ve been our Lois Lane for the past two years - now you’re the world’s. I’m lucky you’re in my life. Happy Birthday. Photo: Jess Miglio

Major item crossed off the bucket list: my favorite Linklater, on the big screen, in the city where it was filmed.

Me on this year’s (quite good) Norwegian film at Karlovy Vary.

Dream job. Playing a villain on #RickandMorty.

Time to Czech in #kviff59

For the first time in 22.5 years, I woke up without a dog in the house. Feels a bit empty now that she’s joined the other two in the Good Place.

100 years ago today, one of Chaplin’s masterpieces premiered. I wrote a little something about it for the Marquee. Enjoy.

Did mine. And I’d immediately change half of the list in a heartbeat. Such a great range of choices.

Feeling restored #CinemaRitrovato

Fresh from Annecy, my review of FIXED for @nextbestpicture.bsky.social: nextbestpicture.com/fixed/

The animated week begins #AnnecyFestival2025

The things I do for @nextbestpicture.bsky.social #Cannes2025

My latest for the Marquee:

From Cannes, @maxborg89.bsky.social checks in with mini-reviews of “Die, My Love,” “Highest 2 Lowest,” “Eddington,” “Nouvelle Vague,” and more of this year’s must-see movies:

Tonight is the night #Cannes2025 #CannesClassics

Starting the birthday celebration at #Cannes2025 with this film:

Starting #Cannes2025 with a stone cold (or should it be “gold”?) classic.

Art of the Deal!!

My eighth time as a journalist #Cannes2025 (Coverage to be published on @nextbestpicture.bsky.social, @crooked-marquee.bsky.social, The Film Verdict and my Substack)

Some preliminary Cannes musings: open.substack.com/pub/maxborg/...

The first one remains the best, but damn, #FinalDestinationBloodlines is a ton of fun if you’re into that sort of thing. Tony Todd’s final performance is equal parts punching the air and lump in the throat.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Not an easy task to pull off, but the Cannes ticketing website does manage to get worse every year.
