Happy Halloween, friends. 🎃 My costume this year is of one of my favorite movie villains - Joubert (Max von Sydow), the CIA assassin from the classic 1975 thriller THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR.

#Hedda is my latest review at TheEstablishingShot.org and it’s a clever modernization of Ibsen’s classic play Hedda Gabler. Tessa Thompson is superb in the title role and you can watch it now on @primevideo.bsky.social.

#BlueMoon is a witty and moving biopic about famed songwriter Lorenz Hart from filmmaker Richard Linklater. It stars a wondrous #EthanHawke as Hart and the supporting cast including Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale and Andrew Scott. My rave is up at TheEstablishingShot.org.

I saw the Brazilian film #TheSecretAgent at the #ChicagoFilmFest this past week and it’s one of 2025’s very best movies. Tense and sweaty, you feel the heat from first moments to last. My review is up now at TheEstablishingShot.org and the film should be rolling out in the coming weeks.

It’s beyond pathetic. The mainstream media, on the whole, is comprised of feckless cowards and shameless hypocrites.
