#MartySupreme. A dizzying effort, driven by a palpable and relentless sense of hustle. Chalamet is undeniably electric, but the casting team deserves major plaudits for filling every frame of this film with color and character.

#RunningManMovie does enough to set itself apart from the original, but not enough from our current lives. A dour, unadventurous experience that really needed to hit harder and more incisively with its commentary to make a mark.

I had a blast with #PredatorBadlands, a great changeup for the franchise that never takes itself too seriously.

#PredatorBadlands blows open the mythology of the franchise, but never forgets to have fun while doing it. A rollicking, action packed, and delightfully goofy slice of sci-fi.

A standout at #FantasticFest this year, a coming of age tale of social acceptance vs moral conflict, steeped in genre elements and discordant vibes. My review of THE PLAGUE over at @cinapse.bsky.social

#GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie. A chaotic and blackly comedy adventure about technological creep and the impending collapse of society. The end of the world shouldn’t be this much fun. #FantasticFest

A WOMAN CALLED MOTHER. A reckoning with dueling roles spills into family life after a visit to a shaman. Tackles its themes well, loses focus at times, but when it clicks it rips. Great unsettling moments (& movements) and an all timer transition shot 🍳 #FantasticFest

HONEY BUNCH. A lush mystery that explores ideas of love and devotion by playing with memory and mood. Evokes 70s Gothic vibes, but crafts a distinct hazy tone and compelling tale all of its own. #FantasticFest

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Timely, topical, and just a rollicking good time at the movies. DiCaprio nails it once again. One of the year’s best, and a thrilling example of a filmmaker utterly assured and thriving in their craft. #FantasticFest

There’s just something gratifying about a horror film that delivers on its inspirations and adds its own voice and visuals to the mix.

DAWNING. Tragic, touching and stark in its beauty and narrative. Tremendous amount to unpack and appreciate, but it’s most admirable in its ability to find warmth in such chilling circumstances. #FantasticFest

OBSESSION. The early cutesy/quirky tone wasn’t for me, but as the fucked-upness creeps in, it earns its plaudits. The performance from Inde Navarette alone is worth the price of admission. #FantasticFest

THE PLAGUE. A pressure cooker of a film about conforming and the perils of breaking from the pack. Perfectly captures the social dynamics of a collective of 12 yr old boys. Compelling, anxiety inducing, visually stunning, & packed with brilliant young performances. #FantasticFest
