Welcoming a new voice to Should I See It, @cartervanzanten.bsky.social! Carter looks at buzzworthy movie PILLION, starring Henry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård, which expanded into more theaters this weekend. "A film confident in itself and trusting of its viewers..." @seattlecritics.bsky.social

What happens when you're blamed for breaking up the biggest band of all time? MAN ON THE RUN explores Paul McCartney's run through the 1970s - following the end of the Beatles, his marriage to Linda, and the formation of Wings. Now streaming on Amazon Prime.

People born in the 2000s will never understand a nation once so innocent that an ice skater kneecapping another ice skater sent us into an existential crisis.

Never let it be said that you can’t watch 15 Oscar nominated movies in one day! Today’s viewing …

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March. For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

This. All damn day.

I don't want to celebrate how Ilhan Omar was ready to throw down. Tired of valorizing Black women as fighters, that dude should have been stopped and stomped out before he got close to her.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

16 is the number and takes away those “only will get the record because of the new category” takes that I started seeing. Incredible that SINNERS now holds this distinction - for so many reasons. A stunning film and viewing experience we will talk about long after awards season comes to an end.

Really terrific analysis of “Sinners” and “Pluribus” from Gayle Sequiera at @nextbestpicture.bsky.social …

ICYMI: Here's the annual Should I See It list of the Best Performances in Movies, recapping the best work from 2025. Check out 20 amazing performances and several honorable mentions! Did your favorite performances make the list? Enjoy and watch more movies! @seattlecritics.bsky.social

2025 was… a year, to put it mildly. But, it was a great year for cinema. And one of my favorite things to do is cut my year-end Top 25 video. Give it a watch, and see you at the movies! youtu.be/5dWlwXODvH8?...

Time for Mike’s annual failure to maintain and continue consistent use of his Letterboxd.

PRIMATE scratches and claws its way into theaters this weekend as one of the first major new release movies of this new year. Silly at times and absolutely not for the squeamish, yet somehow far more entertaining than it has any right to be. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

What a horrible day for our nation. When will it ever be enough. When?

This is really, really great. wantmymtv.vercel.app

Oh hi - inner voice monologue … who gave you the microphone with four hours left in 2025?

Find me a better song lyric from 2025 than this: “I'll miss you when The wings I fell in love with Take you away again” Oklou, ‘blade bird’

It's inefficient to get out of bed in the morning only to get back in the same bed at night. Stay in bed all day to avoid this

If you are looking to step out of the house and escape the world for two-and-a-half hrs, MARTY SUPREME is waiting at the multiplex. Timothée Chalamet gives the best performance of his career thus far in one of the most unique, fun, and unpredictable films of 2025. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

This is the third year we’ve watched THE HOLDOVERS on Christmas or Christmas Eve. I don’t have anything clever to say; it’s just a great movie about decent people.

The biggest movie of the weekend, and for some the entire year, is finally here. However, with AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, what once was incredible and groundbreaking is now just familiar, boring, and repetitive. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

And that's a wrap on our 2025 awards. Congratulations to all the winners!
