It's #LetterboxdFriday Here's my #LastFourWatched Caught up with my final two best pic noms now they're out on VOD. Plus a pretty interesting Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and a less interesting Abel Ferrara.

When you realize there's an embarrassing typo in all your marketing material.

It's #LetterboxdFriday Here's my #LastFourWatched An excellent Tom Perrotta adaptation by Alexander Payne. A couple of middling medaphysical dramas. My first (and likely last) slow-cinema slog by Lav Diaz.

I've got the day off work and no chores need doing, so it's time for some more 🚨🚨🚨SLOW CINEMA🚨🚨🚨 NW: From What Is Before (Lav Diaz, 2014) 📽️ #movies #filmsky #LivingLifeInTheSLOWLane

I've never read anything by Tom Perrotta, but the adaptations of his work - Election (1999), Little Children (2006), The Leftovers (2014-2017) - are all pretty great. I'm wondering if I should check out some of his novels.

The final race should have featured Lewis Hamilton twirling his moustache like Dick Dastardly. He was a producer, he could have insisted on it! Such a waste!

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Here's MY #LastFourWatched The highlight of the week was The Secret Agent, which absolutely deserves all the recognition it's getting. The low point of the week was a waste of talent by Bryan Fuller.

Just put on F1 The Movie and I have no idea why I thought this was a biopic.

Nice to see The Secret Agent get so many nominations. I watched it this week and it's really something special.

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Here's my #LastFourWatched? Interesting but flawed films by Terrence Malick and Tsui Hark. An outstanding look at life under fascism. A palme d'or winner by Kiarostami.

it is a violation of my dignity to share spaces with terfs, i am sick of this shit, no one can piss in peace with these people around i swear to god

To be fair, Abbas Kiarostami's Palme D'Or-winning 'Taste of Cherry' (1997) ends in a similar way.

It's #LetterboxdFriday 📽️! Here's my #LastFourWatched Kiarostami's outstanding Koker Trilogy, and Jia Zhangke's two-and-half decades in the making collage.

Yeah, I got it.

The fact that nothing is being done about this — and that people keep blithely hanging out on that site as though its owner and a key part of its official architecture aren’t actively enabling disgusting criminal abuse at scale — is making me lose my mind

J1122 Clever younger generation.

It's the first #LetterboxdFriday of 2026! Here's my #LastFourWatched -Lynne Ramsay's latest aka "a woman under the influence of A Woman Under the Influence" -A lively kids sequel -Bi Gan's dreamy previous film (ahead of Resurrection...sometime this year) -A dumb popcorn flick

My favorite films of 2025: Sinners Sentimental Value Reflection in a Dead Diamond If I Had Legs I'd Kick You 2025 films I've not had a chance to see: The Testament of Ann Lee Resurrection The Secret Agent It Was Just An Accident

One thing to remember about these people is that they've likely never once taken an active interest in the day-to-day of parenting a child. The admin of dealing with daycare--including the opsec aspect--is very much foreign to them.

I took my kid to see Zootropolis 2 (titled Zootopia 2 in some markets). I wasn't a big fan of the first one and this did seem like a step down, but I have to admit I enjoyed the Kubrick reference near the end.

Godspeed You! Black Eyed Peas

Just started watching The Studio and it's pretty good but sometimes leans a bit too much on cringe comedy for my liking. Scorsese's cameo in the first ep is great, though. I lost it when he pitched his film.

Stellan Skarsgård in Sentimental Value is as good as everyone says. There's a moment later in the film when you *see* the years settle on him. He ages decades before your eyes. It's incredible.

Believe it or not, it's #LetterboxdFriday My last #LastFourWatched have been a real mixed bag. Two new releases - one among the year's best, one a bit of a dud. An outstanding experimental short by Nicolas Provost, and a seasonal stinker.

If you see this, post your favorite Star Wars character

Merry Christmas, one and all.

gonna get kicked out of my screening and possibly find myself divorced for doing this

I feel like this film was manifested into existance by this tweet from @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social

It's #LetterboxdFriday here's my #LastFourWatched Pretty strong week. Some real classics here.

Apple TV has a terrible user interface in general, but I do really like how it temporarily switches on subtitles when you rewind.

Really enjoyed Pluribus this week. Not only was it wonderful to look at, but Manousos's anti-colonialism gave me hope that some of the issues raised in episode 2 will finally be explored more fully.

Watching Running Man, and that ain't a quote for our times.

It's #LetterboxdFriday - here's my #LastFourWatched A recent PTA and three new releases. All entertaining, but nothing spectacular. Planning to watch The Mastermind tonight as it's just come to Mubi.

My favorite music of the year was a late contender: Grace Ives - Singles (a three track EP). It's headphones-on, wall-of-sound style power-pop, and it's incredible. I can't stop listening to it.

Reflection In A Dead Diamond (Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani) is out TODAY on Shudder in the UK/US. Everyone should watch it, it's a blast. Kind of a meta-fictional take of Bond and 1960s Eurospy movies.

WHO COULD IT BE?? (minor spoilers for Pluribus)

It's #LetterboxdFriday! Here's my #LastFourWatched: Two excellent new releases, and one that was not quite as great. Plus an interesting-but-flawed adaptation of an Umberto Eco novel.

People have talked about this a lot and it might be weird of me, but knowing Hamnet uses Nature of Daylight makes me want to see it less. Grief stories tread a fine line between exploitative and affecting, and knowing that it uses that music makes it seem like it falls on the wrong side.

Train Dreams (2025) Wake Up Dead Man (2025) If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Deadly Circuit (1983)

I really enjoyed Train Dreams. I know there's been a mixed response to the narration, but I'm kind of fond of that style of literary adaptation. It always reminds me of Tony Takitani, which turned a Murakami short story into an extended montage.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Story

It's #LetterboxdFriday Here's my #LastFourWatched Four fairly solid new releases. Most underwhelmed by Park Chan-wook's latest. Hopefully I'll be more impressed when I see the Wake Up Dead Man in the cinema tonight.

I had some fusion cuisine for lunch, and this stuff is *stridently* garlicky. It might have reached the level of Too Much Garlic. I'll be tasting this for days.

Master and Commander: The Nutmeg of Consolation Probably some others as well, but I think the name alone makes it a great follow-up to the The Far Side of the World.

Oh wow. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is fantastic. One of my favourite films of the year.
