REVIEW: God of War: Sons of Sparta Lacks The Spectacle The Series Is Known For
God of War: Sons of Sparta fails to live up to the IP it wears, with it neither being a good God of War game, or a great metroidvania.

REVIEW: ‘High on Life 2’ Is Comedy Gold Marred By Technical Difficulties
High on Life 2 is an improvement on the first and one hell of a time and improves on its predecessor in almost every single way—except for its technical issues.

In the minority here but I really loved How To Make A Killing.
It's not the kill-the-rich story people wanted and its not some thriller the trailer made it seem to be. But its Glen Powell's best since Hit Man and its packed with dark and dry humor.

How To Make A Killing (2026) Review: Glen Powell at His Best
How To Make A Killing (2026) is a film made by its cast, and it excels thanks to Glen Powell's inability to be anything but likable.

We found a few more families in the Orlando area this week affected by ICE that need help with groceries. We delivered food to two of them today but there are three that still need help. If you're able to help, you can send & via Venmo/PayPal (@kfoleyfl) or at least repost this to help share 1/2

"Wuthering Heights" - i actually said "Emerald Fennell needs to stop making films" to my friend as we walked out
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

It goes a long way to message a critic if their review resonates with you.
I felt really proud of my A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 5 recap - and it makes me happy to know the show is hitting people like its hitting me.

Today @lataco.bsky.social launched a fundraiser to help me start their investigative news desk. We're hoping to raise $25k to help pay for lab tests, analyze ICE data that the Daily Memo's been compiling + work with more freelancers. Been dreaming of this for years!
