So depressed about the state of things around us that I subscribed to another streaming service.

Local movie heads unite and check out this once-lost-now-found regional artifact screening in a couple of weeks. @texastheatre.bsky.social
Thank you @texastheatre.bsky.social for finally showing this movie, though under the name Scarlet Warning 666. January 20, 2026 @ 9 PM. The greatest mystery of my past 5 years will finally be solved.

Such a live-wire actor in everything he did. I implore everyone to seek out "Laws of Gravity" (1992), one of my favorite films of all time.

One of my favorite films this year. Please see it! Part 70's paranoid thriller, part sexual tension-filled caper. Ahmed and Collins are so good in it.
Ohhh finally!

If I ever get the chance to interview Paul Thomas Anderson, I'd love to know why phone calls in his films are SO STRESSFUL.

Can we begin the Benecio del Toro Oscar campaign now? Such a cool, controlled force in the chaos of DiCaprio's frayed live wire desperation.

My favorite film of #FantasticFest so far- "When We Were Live".
September 22, 2025 at 7:50 PM
"Killing Spree" aka "Folies Meurtrieres"- one of the repertory films at #FantasticFest. The slasher film widdled down to its most base element of stalker and prey.

First dispatch from Fantastic Fest with "The Tree of Knowledge", "The Ice Tower" and "Body Blow". #FantasticFest

Fantastic Fest 2025 Dispatch #1: Refuge into the Horror
Depending on your viewpoint, things are bad out there. So how can a film festival that trades in all things horrific, fantastical, absurd, and on-the-margins be cleansing? I’d say that becaus…

#FantasticFest film #1, Eugene Green's "The Tree of Knowledge". I was completely on board his mannered wavelength. Thoughts upcoming at Dallas Film Now

Looking forward to ALOT of films at Fantastic Fest.

"Magnolia" on 35MM this weekend @texastheatre.bsky.social Be there or be square.
September 13, 2025 at 5:48 AM
"Relay" is really, really good. Taut direction and a sure handed script with just the right whiff of paranoid '70's aroma.

Is there a more perfect, touching album in the last 5 years than Ethel Cain's "Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You"? I think not.

After slogging through so many mid films so far this year, I've watched 2 masterpieces in the last week- "Eephus" and "She Rides Shotgun". C'mon film!
