#Bugonia depicts a kind of paranoia that should spark debates around systematic oppression, but ultimately favors style over substance.

Park Chan-wook et al’s #NoOtherChoice premiered at #BeyondFest, and the film is “a crowd-pleaser that asks its audience to push back against capitalism before it consumes their humanity”.

#GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie marks what will hopefully be a new beginning in Gore Verbinski’s career with an anti-AI odyssey.

Would love to see Demi Moore win the Oscar. Not only is it an incredible performance from an actor who has put in decades of work, but, I believe, it’d be the first time an actor won for a horror movie since Natalie Portman won for Black Swan in 2011.

Pablo Larraín’s #Maria is a somber glance at an artist’s relationship with their work, powered by an exquisite Angelina Jolie, nearing the end of their life.

Not that the Golden Globes mean anything, but publicists around town rejecting the offer to have their clients sit down with Sebastian Stan for Variety’s Actors on Actors is especially funny now that he’s been nominated for Best Actor in two different categories. Talk about a missed opportunity.

While I disagree with what he had to say about Return of the Jedi and the franchise as a whole, Star Wars has always been a children’s fairytale set in space, weirdly enough is refreshing to see someone go after the original trilogy and not the sequels for the saga’s current state. 💀

Denis Villeneuve says he has no interest in directing in Star Wars because he believes the franchise derailed with RETURN OF THE JEDI

“Star Wars became crystallized in its own mythology, very dogmatic, it seemed like a recipe, no more surprises”
