Just a rando Friday night thought:
I wanna see more women becoming voices in action film discussion in 2026. The last 13± years have been cool but it's mostly a sausage fest, and some of these dudes are just enabled, untested dickwads who think they're cool but aren't. Something needs changing.

Today is a dark day for press freedom in Hong Kong. The PRC is snuffing out what was once a beacon of light. I stand in solidarity with Jimmy.
The Trump Admin must stop looking the other way & enforce my Hong Kong Autonomy Act.
Silence in the face of repression is unacceptable.

MISDIRECTION Review: A Decent Thriller Underwhelms More Than Scintillates
Misdirection arrives on VOD on February 10 from Cineverse. Willy's Wonderland helmer Kevin Lewis's new crime thriller, Misdirection, is an acquired taste, if not a tricky one. The "contained thriller" subgenre can be a hard nut to crack if you don't know what you're doing, and either way, you certainly have to give some credit to Lewis for giving it a shot.
