My new favourite tv show is PLURIBUS, a science fiction series from the creator of Breaking Bad about everyone in the world being made deliriously happy, and one miserable woman having to figure out what has happened. It's dark and hilarious and has possibly the best pilot episode I've ever seen

The people who acted as cheerleaders for this far-right “Labour” government should take a good long look at themselves

This will bring in no money at all, and will just be publicly cruel.

Gotta admit, I didn't think being bought by Disney would reinvigorate this franchise, but with PREDATOR: BADLANDS out in cinemas, being really good and exceeding expectations financially, that's three great films in three years. We haven't ate this well since the original film...

I know he does this all the time now, but it really cannot be stressed enough how openly, blatantly racist this man is, and the people in our industry who made excuses for him and kowtowed to him and his family connections should hang their heads in shame

If you have a Netflix account and time this weekend I would highly recommend checking out Guillermo del Toro's visually stunning new adaptation of FRANKENSTEIN. I caught it at the London Film Festival and it's a lovely reminder of some of the old-fashioned craft of filmmaking

Also, somebody has yassified our avatars from Grand Theft Hamlet and I don’t think I like this

Just a reminder that this man deliberately fired depleted uranium shells into Fallujah, which caused babies to be born with deformities and cancer.
Sometimes evil men die, and you absolutely do not have to be respectful about it at all

If you fancy a trip to see something that really gets under your skin, then the new Yorgos Lanthimos film BUGONIA is out in UK cinemas today. I saw it a few weeks ago at the London Film Festival and have thought about it a lot since.
Creepy in all kinds of ways

If anyone wants to watch the beautiful new film HEDDA, which I show up in very briefly, it's now available worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.
I got to help make a big movie with an amazing director, incredible lead actress and lovely company.
That was a dream of mine, once.

Finally got round to watching the recent film adaptation of THE LONG WALK, which is on Prime Video now. I read the short story so many years ago, and its vision of a dark and nihilistic future seemed fanciful. Now I'm not so sure. Anyway, it's a good metaphor for where we are

My current guilty pleasure TV is the Mark Ruffalo series TASK on Prime Video. Like all good shows, it pretends to be about one thing (an FBI agent investigating home invasions) but is really about another thing (fatherhood, faith, and grief). Depressing and uplifting. Both.

London Film Festival came to a close yesterday with 100 NIGHTS OF HERO, a very intriguing adaptation of a graphic novel version of One Thousand and One Nights. Historical fantasy is always a little fruity, but this has an interesting feminist spin and some startling visuals

Thoroughly enjoyed the new film PILLION at the London Film Festival, a kind of serious romantic comedy that skirts around the BDSM fetish scene, and does so with respect and maturity. Refreshing to see kinks being treated normally and placed within a traditional romantic setting

Enjoyed the Richard Linklater experimental movie NOUVELLE VAGUE at the London Film Festival, about the making of the classic film Breathless in 1959. Shot in black and white, with no stars, in French and with a 4:3 aspect ratio, can't see it finding a huge audience but it's fun

Enjoyed the new Lynne Ramsay movie DIE MY LOVE at the London Film Festival last night, with a mesmerising Jennifer Lawrence playing a mother losing her grasp on reality while suffering postpartum depression. Funnier than it sounds, but also bleak and harrowing and beautiful

Also thoroughly enjoyed the new Kelly Reichardt film THE MASTERMIND at the London Film Festival, which is technically a heist movie, but instead of spectacular planning and execution it focuses on the banal uselessness of ordinary people. Fun for slowcore nerds like myself
