I’m so stoked to report that #JurassicParkRebirth is a winner. A big-screen popcorn monster movie back-to-basics reset that completely works. It’s a big, dumb, fun jungle survival adventure with laughs and thrills. And dinosaurs! And mutant dinosaurs!
Pure. Simple.
Classic. Enjoy. 🛥️🦖🦕

Thank you to Universal for the chance to see a preview of M3GAN 2.0 - a raucous sequel to the hit 2022 cyborg slasher.
It drops tomorrow. I’ll share some more thoughts once the embargo lifts.

MATERIALISTS, Celine Song's follow-up to the stunning Past Lives is a more accessible mainstream love triangle but still rife with insights into human frailty, longing and weighing the heart over the mind. Song finds a sweet spot between nuanced character study and predictable schmaltz.

Day 2 of @sydfilmfest.bsky.social 2025 was another pearler. The highlight was Kevin Macdonald’s moving John + Yoko doco, a mosaic time capsule of a film. Breathtaking.
Also caught Josh O’Connor in The Mastermind, the intriguing neo-noir Islands and the endearing body horror Together.

I like to do @sydfilmfest.bsky.social right. Twelve movies in three days. Stay at QT Sydney. Cocktails. Great plant-based food. Treat myself.
Films seen so far - Spirit World, Blue Moon (incredible) and Dangerous Animals.

BRING HER BACK (2025). In Oz we have VERY strict pool fence regulations. ESPECIALLY in a foster home.
The Philippous know this. So the only possible interpretation of #BringHerBack is a two-hour PSA about the potential dangers of not having a pool fence - all of this was preventable.

Questlove’s SLY LIVES! is an overdue homage to the legacy and influence of a musical genius.
But the director only views Stone’s career through the ideological prism of his blackness. He asks famous talking heads leading questions to affirm his narrative. Not a “show don’t tell” approach.

I've slept way, way too long on #KurtVonnegut. Going down the rabbit hole. It's imperative I make up for lost time. And so it goes.
Cat's Cradle is a work of satirical genius. A metafictional farce about the end of times. Vonnegut builds a fictional nation and religion. LOL funny.

Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, my fave movie of 2021) brings a lot of heart to the #LiloandStitch remake. Almost enough to douse my cynicism.
Stitch's immortal line, "This is my family. I found it, all on my own...", cut me up all over again.
A winner for Disney.

Our little scruffy man likes to sleep in the front window.
This is him stretching and yawning (not roaring, as it appears 😆) after a nap.
And, yes, I exclaim “big stretch” every time Jinx stretches. That is mandatory.

Wake in Fright meets Long Weekend in Ozploitation homage THE SURFER. While the finale pulls its punches, Cage’s mad descent in the face of tribal surf-gang antagonism is a romp.
It’s good vs evil in a sweltering purgatorial car park. Does for Oz tourism what Milat did for backpacking.

Brimming with breathtaking imagery, OCEAN is a doco you MUST see on the big screen. In cinemas now.
Dredge marks seen from space. David Attenborough, a moral authority on the natural world, has a dire warning - we are pillaging the sea into annihilation. But there is hope if we act now. #FilmSky 📽️🎥
