I absolutely loved FREAKIER FRIDAY! Just as good as the original. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much at a movie. #filmsky

Welcome to #LetterboxdFriday! My #LastFourWatched are below. Among the eight new-to-me films this week were some big name titles: Weapons (loved), Fantastic 4: First Steps (really fun) and 3 Women (utterly brilliant). And, of course, the return of RWRB because my friend Gaia and I are OBSESSED

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! I saw four new-to-me films, including the adorable The Worst Witch with Fairuza Balk and the not great Halloween Is Grinch Night — neither pictured. I loved Gregg Araki’s Nowhere, which isn’t much of a surprise as I’m such a fan of his. #lastfourwatched

Happy Halloween AND Happy #LetterboxdFriday! My #LastFourWatched are shown below, but I got in a recent personal best of SIX new-to-me movies this week. Out of these, I highly recommend Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Häxan (1922), and Dead Ringers (1988).

#LetterboxdFriday is here! This week, I saw three(!!!) new-to-me films, including Godzilla, King of the Monsters! with Raymond Burr (not pictured). It’s not as good as the Japanese original. Scanners was fantastic and Manos: The Hands of Fate was the worst kind of bad flick — it was BORING.

I’ve been remiss of late with keeping up with my favorite first watches, so here they are in one go! I haven’t seen as many new-to-me #movies lately, but hope to do better going forward.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! My #LastFourWatched are all repeats, but I did get in one new-to-me flick this week: Silver Bullet, based on a Stephen King story with a screenplay by him. I enjoyed it! Plus, Megan Follows is in it!

It’s #LetterboxdFriday in October, which means more horror! I finally saw CASPER for the first time and I enjoyed it much more than Hocus Pocus. #LastFourWatched
October 10, 2025 at 10:38 PM
#LetterboxdFriday already?! I managed to get in one new-to-me — Robert Altman’s Popeye — for my #LastFourWatched. All of these were viewed with my Bestie and the first three films we watched IRL on my birthday last Saturday! ❤️

This #LetterboxdFriday, my #LastFourWatched includes one new-to-me film, one trilogy, and one fun spooky season animated flick that doesn’t get enough love

#LetterboxdFriday sees the return of RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE to my #LastFourWatched. (I honestly never ever tire of it.) THE HAUNTED STRANGLER (aka THE GRIP OF THE STRANGLER) is a fun, old-school horror/mystery with Boris Karloff that I definitely recommend

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Only managed to watch three movies this week. My two rewatches were bangers, while the new-to-me flick was entertaining yet not particularly memorable despite a fun lead turn by Denzel Washington
September 13, 2025 at 1:30 AM
Denzel is living his best life as an actor these past few years. HIGHEST 2 LOWEST continues him along this path and with his favorite (and best) collaborator. A solid, entertaining Spike Lee joint that deserves the largest audience possible.

#LetterboxdFriday is here! A great #LastFourWatched includes two new-to-me films — both by the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. After seeing MARNIE, I’m curious about others in his late period
September 6, 2025 at 12:08 AM
Hooray for #LetterboxdFriday! I managed to gather enough for a #LastFourWatched this week. All comfort watches, yet it’s a minute or longer since I’ve seen most of them
August 30, 2025 at 12:34 AM
Happy #LetterboxdFriday! I’m still rewatching movies, but I did manage to squeak in a new-to-me flick for my #LastFourWatched
August 15, 2025 at 9:53 PM
Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Still in the middle of my comfort watch era, but for my #LastFourWatched I managed at least one new-to-me film. MATILDA is a sweet, magical delight. If you’ve never given it a chance, make sure you do.

Happy Birthday, @bryanfuller.bsky.social!!! 🎉🎁🥂 From grim reapers to talking tchotchkes to a certain pie maker to murder husbands and beyond, you’ve given all of us so much joy. I hope you have felt even a fraction of that joy today of all days. Much love, from one diehard Fannibal to another!! 💖💖

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! I’ve been in comfort mode of late, but I still managed two new-to-me watches. All in all, a very good week. #LastFourWatched

It’s #LetterboxdFriday (and I almost missed it)!!! I admit it’s been a quiet week film-wise for a few reasons, but that’s okay. What’s not okay is how meh SUPERMAN left me. I should have just rewatched Harley Quinn S5 like I said in my latest blog post 😏

Was this leaps and bounds better than Zach Snyder’s version of SUPERMAN? Without a doubt. Is this the Supes we deserve? Not quite. Corenswet is a wonderful Kal-El/ClarK, but he needs a few solo films so the character can grow. A fine debut that could/should have been better.

Time again for #LetterboxdFriday! Of my #LastFourWatched, I do wish The Old Guard 2 had been better. That said, I’m so happy to see my fam again — even Copley (though that’s more about my affinity for Chiwetel Ejiofor). Not featured: I also caught up with 28 Years Later, which I thoroughly enjoyed!
July 11, 2025 at 7:33 PM
This. Is. AWESOME!!!! Tune out the haters. Ignore the bad box office. If you truly loved M3GAN, then you’ll love M3GAN 2.0. Hands down, one of my fave films of the year. Can’t wait to watch both flicks back to back!

Sociopolitical horror flicks are the spine of the genre, thanks to George R. Romero. William Lustig’s UNCLE SAM is one that shouldn’t be forgotten as the holiday slasher has more on its mind than effective kills and a creepy kid who idolizes his soldier uncle. #filmsky #horrorsky #filmreview
