Movie Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL dcfilmdom.com/2026/01/all-... A gender-flipped, animated adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka's 2004 novel, featuring classic animation techniques and a terrific voice cast. #AllYouNeedIsKill #GKIDS @gkids.com

#MovieReview: 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE dcfilmdom.com/2026/01/28-y... Director Nia DaCosta and writer Alex Garland NEED to work together again. This chapter attempts so much with its emotion, horror, and social commentary, and it hits every mark. The best of the series since the original.

First screening of the year! Review coming soon! #28YearsLater #28YearsLater #TheBoneTemple #MovieReview

My mother passed away on Tuesday, December 9. I wrote her eulogy and co-wrote her obituary, both of which are included here. And I've got a small announcement at the top. Thanks, y'all. dcfilmdom.com/2025/12/tere...

I was seven years away from being a movie reviewer when KILL BILL VOL. 1 debuted. Consider this a long overdue love letter to KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR. They're showing it in 35mm and 70mm. Go see it and do some pushups at the intermission. @ofcs.bsky.social dcfilmdom.com/2025/12/kill...

This is the face behind this account and all the post-2017 reviews at DCFilmdom.com. (I also have pre-2017 reviews, but I had another writer working with me. Miss you, Michael P.) Unfortunately, it's also the brain behind the whole shebang. Just witness the unbelievable wonder of... this.

What has two thumbs and was so excited at the prospect of seeing all four hours and 41 minutes of KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR at a critics' screening, he went to the theater a week early?!

Movie Review - WICKED: FOR GOOD dcfilmdom.com/2025/11/wick... A straight continuation of where WICKED: PART I left off in tone, tenor, and form. Musical numbers (save one) may not be as catchy and memorable, but the rest is solid. What a conclusion--well worth the year's wait. @ofcs.bsky.social

For me, the NOW YOU SEE ME series is a pleasure--I love the feeling of seeing a good trick. After a meh second film, the franchise comes roaring back with NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T, and I know I'm going to see it at least twice more. dcfilmdom.com/2025/11/now-... @ofcs.bsky.social #NowYouSeeMe

After PREY and PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, was it too much to ask that Dan Trachtenberg complete his awesome franchise trifecta with PREDATOR: BADLANDS? Hell, no, it wasn't, and Trachtenberg delivers in bold style. dcfilmdom.com/2025/11/pred... #Predator #PredatorBadlands #MovieReview

Tonight's screening! Review coming soon! #PredatorBadlands #MovieReview

Movie Review: BUGONIA dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/bugo... Another Yorgos Lanthimos knockout that uses our biases and what we think of as "common knowledge" against us in this dark, absurdist comedy. @ofcs.bsky.social @focusfeatures.bsky.social #Bugonia

ICYMI: Black Phone 2 dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/blac... My misgivings about the first act of the film were blown away by the latter 2/3rds. Read why. #BlackPhone2 #MovieReview

Movie Review: BLACK PHONE 2 dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/blac... I think I had unreasonable expectations for this one, so that's why this is a little late. Really had to clarify my thoughts. This one's a corker, y'all. @ofcs.bsky.social #BlackPhone2

Frickin' PSYCHED for this one. Review coming soon! #BlackPhone2 #MovieReview

Thank you for all the reposts, @ofcs.bsky.social!

A late one: V/H/S/HALLOWEEN dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/v-h-... Thought this one would be better, considering its trick-or-treat season throughline. The two stories I liked the best--"Ut Supra Sic Infra" and "Kidprint--are good enough to get this movie into the "good for a watch" zone. @ofcs.bsky.social

Movie Review - TRON: ARES dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/tron... A thrilling chase film that has some of the best CGI I've seen in years. Also, Jared Leto doesn't ruin this terrific sequel. Also also, it's another movie where Gillian Anderson sports a British accent! @ofcs.bsky.social #TronAres #MovieReview

Movie Review: GOOD BOY In US theaters now, UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 10/10. Wherever you are, get on it. Indy's a lovely dog and, surprisingly, a good actor! Here's my review over at DCFilmdom.com: dcfilmdom.com/2025/10/good... @ofcs.bsky.social @shudder.com @ifcfilms.bsky.social

Saw this last night. As a TRON fan since I was six years old, this was a treat. Review coming to DCFilmdom.com soon! #TronAres #MovieReview

Movie Review: ELEANOR THE GREAT dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/elea... Wonderful performances--especially from Rita Zohar as a Holocaust survivor--drive this "lie gone completely out of control" movie. Scarlett Johansson's directorial feature debut stays respectful and solemn... with a touch of the impish.

Movie Review: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/one-... Paul Thomas Anderson's take on an action drama is powerful stuff. One of 2025's best. One of PTA's best. Playing IN VISTAVISION in London, NYC, and LA. Watch it there if you can. DMV folks: It's playing in 70MM at the AFI Silver.

Movie Review: HIM dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/him-... A brutal movie about what it takes to earn GOAT status that uses disparate cinematic elements to say... everything and nothing. Sound and fury in search of a message about childhood dreams turning into adult nightmares as one strives for greatness.

Tonight's screening. Review coming to DCFilmdom.com soon! #HimMovie

Movie Review: SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/spin... As a musician and a fan of Spinal Tap, this movie made me laugh. It's a different thing than the 1984 original, but it still has the heart that endeared the film AND the band to me. #SpinalTap @bleeckerstfilms.bsky.social

MOVIE REVIEW: The Long Walk dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/the-... The third of four filmed Stephen King adaptations to be released this year. Powerful in its simplicity and its fight for humanity amid dehumanization. The cast is spectacular. The parallels to our own lives, even more so. #TheLongWalk

Movie Review: THE CONJURING: LAST RITES dcfilmdom.com/2025/09/the-... Michael Chaves' best of his Conjuring Universe films. Much more enjoyable and solid than THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, Chaves makes more confident choices and does not hold anything back. @ofcs.bsky.social #TheConjuring

Tonight's screening. I've been a longtime fan of Richard Bachman's novella. A real treat to see this story bright to life on the big screen. Review coming soon! #TheLongWalk #MovieReview

Saw THE CONJURING: LAST RITES last night. Made a new friend. Review coming to DCFilmdom.com soon.

Movie Review: CAUGHT STEALING dcfilmdom.com/2025/08/caug... A throwback film in every sense of the word--tone, photography, color palette, acting and actor choices, time period, and action. #CaughtStealing @ofcs.bsky.social

Movie Review: RELAY dcfilmdom.com/2025/08/rela... This low-key thriller cannot contain its undeniable energy. Riz Ahmed and Lily James are absolutely excellent in this, and the script and direction are flawless. One of the best I've seen in 2025. #MovieReview @ofcs.bsky.social

Movie Review: FREAKIER FRIDAY. dcfilmdom.com/2025/08/frea... Does it have its faults? Yes. Do those faults doom this movie? No. I had a lot of fun with it. Sometimes, a spectacular vibe *can* help offset negatives. Which, to be honest, were not plentiful in this movie.

Movie Review: THE NAKED GUN dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/the-... This is my final review of any Paramount Pictures film, and I'm grateful that it was a good one. (The movie, that is; the review is up to you.) As a longtime fan of the NAKED GUN movies, this one was a gem. #TheNakedGun @ofcs.bsky.social

Movie Review: THE BAD GUYS 2 dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/the-... The voice cast has been kept low-key, relying on authenticity rather than HUGE NAME ACTORS who are wrong for their parts. The story and action are fantastic, but it always comes back to the cast, who absolutely shine. @ofcs.bsky.social

Movie Review: THE HOME dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/the-... This got savaged among the Rotten Tomatoes cognoscenti. I am not one of them. And the more I thought about this movie, the more I liked about it.

Tonight's screening with @jennwhovian.bsky.social! Review coming soon. #NakedGun #MovieReview

This morning's screening. Review coming soon! #TheBadGuys2

The Online Film Critics Society has a Bluesky page. Follow them over at @ofcs.bsky.social!

Movie Review: OH, HI! dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/oh-h... This movie is problematic. Funny, but problematic. The funny may be in its problematicness. But the phrase "Your mileage may vary" has never been more apropos.

Movie Review - THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/the-... It's one of the finest films in form and content that Marvel has ever made. Positive without being toxic, emotional without being treacly, and strong without resorting to excess. And it is extremely good to look at.

Just got home from this and am cooking up my thoughts. Review coming soon to DC Filmdom! #FantasticFour #FirstSteps #Marvel #MovieReview

Thinking further on this, I will say that Ari Aster has pulled off a mean feat in rolling a documentary, satire, and a complete warning as to where we're heading all into one movie. I admire this about EDDINGTON, but it's still not something I would ever watch again.

Movie Review: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (2025) dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/i-kn... Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson employs the same spiky verve she used in DO REVENGE to kick this reprise into overdrive. It's terrific, but there's something that didn't sit right with me.

I love Ari Aster's films. Just not #EDDINGTON. For me, it was like a lengthy joke with no punchline. But maybe WE'RE the punchline. dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/eddi...

MOVIE REVIEW: #Superman dcfilmdom.com/2025/07/supe... A much-needed break from "darker and grittier," James Gunn's take on the Man of Steel is bold, calling upon our better natures by satirizing our modern-day foibles. Couldn't ask for a better update for this historic character.

Tonight's screening. Let's go. Review coming soon!

F1 is a carbon copy of TOP GUN: MAVERICK, from plot beats to action to even how the film ends, for God's sake. But y'know what? It is a damn enjoyable movie, and I would LOVE to see it again. #F1TheMovie dcfilmdom.com/2025/06/f1-m...

Time for excitement. Review coming soon to the website! #F1TheMovie #MovieReview

28 YEARS LATER turns away from the adrenaline rush of the first two films, leaving room for returning director Danny Boyle to explore more personal, dramatic themes. Alfie Williams is terrific as Spike, a 12-year-old forced to grow up in ways he didn't expect. dcfilmdom.com/2025/06/28-y...
