Yesterday, filmmaker Allison Walsh premiered her feature doc ALL OF THE ABOVE at SBIFF 2026.
It’s a surprisingly perceptive look at what happens when the concept of religion is separated from absolutes and is given space for exploration and understanding. #SBIFF

So we had a talk about euphemisms.

The other day, on another platform, @thatnerdynick.bsky.social asked what film deserved a sequel that didn’t get one.
I said THE NICE GUYS immediately.
As I sit here, killing time while using a hot towel on a sore, another film comes to mind: THE A-TEAM.
Shoulda had a least two sequels to these.

These are the films I’ve chosen to highlight from 2025 that stuck with me. Not necessarily my top films, but those from the year that I felt compelled to revisit for one reason or another (regardless of if I did).
