SINNERS made $48 million domestic at the box office this weekend. The biggest opening for an original movie this decade.

Don’t let those slanted pieces in the trades bury that accomplishment.

#Sinners is the best movie of the year. It manages to be a folk horror, western drama, southern gothic, Blaxploitation thriller, quasi-musical and, oh, a vampire movie exploring deeply rooted themes about our society while being wildly entertaining. A masterwork. smashcutreviews.com/sinners-movi...

"I don't need religion or god to give my life meaning... because time gives it meaning" is one of the greatest lines of dialogue ever written. Run Carrie Coon her Emmy now. #TheWhiteLotus

I really need Raducanu to beat Pegula so Eala can beat another Grand Slam champion on the way to the final 😇 #MiamiOpen
Alexandra Eala after beating Iga Swiatek in Miami

“You’ve beaten 3 Grand Slam Champions to make it here. It is spectacular.

Alexandra: “I don’t know what to say. I’m in complete disbelief. I’m on cloud 9. Thank you everyone who came to watch.” 🥹

The only cinematic universification of James Bond I will accept is a gay rom-com about Ben Whishaw's Q
Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have stepped back from the ‘JAMES BOND’ franchise.

Amazon MGM now has full creative control.

Broccoli and Wilson remain co-owners of the franchise.

Caught up on WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL and what a delightful, silly quais-mission impossible by way of M3GAN romp. But also, justice for Feathers McGee.

While the fight sequences at times shows flashes of brilliance, LOVE HURTS is a less love and a whole lotta hurt. I suppose they did warn us in the title though... Ke Huy Quan deserves a better star vehicle. smashcutreviews.com/love-hurts-m...

Rewatched CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON at Metrograph for Chinese New Year and realized it’s basically the story of a woman in a situationship from hell helping a younger woman avoid being in a situationship from hell.

The Equinox steam room was wall to wall packed and I very much had to resist the urge to yell, “is the orgy still on for 5 o’clock?”
