Opposable Thumbs by Matt Singer: 9780593540152 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books Once upon a time, if you wanted to know if a movie was worth seeing, you didn’t check out Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB. You asked whether Siskel & Ebert had given it “two thumbs up.”...

As we enter one of the final holiday shopping weekends of the year, I just want you to know that there is only one gift that will satisfy literally every single person on your list.

You have given me an idea for next year too sickening and horrible to even ponder. So obviously I am going to try to do it.

I wanted SO MUCH to love Love Hurts, but in the end all I could say was cutting it down to 80 min. was a wise choice.
Ditto Section 31. I ADORE Michelle Yeoh and I'm one of the 10 Star Trek fans who actually loved Discovery, so this film was anxiously awaited. We made it >10 min before tapping out.

You do not need to see it.

I need to find this commentary. Several people have recommended it to me.

And no wonder.

Funny thing about Section 31 is that, for as poorly thought out and executed as it was, I think that by the time they get where they were going in the end, I probably would have watched the series it was originally supposed to be a pilot for.

The Old ‘Street Fighter’ Doesn’t Need a Remake Because It’s Already Good This is the kind of IP adaptation we never get anymore.

When all the Street Fighter hooplah popped off last night, I got an itch to rewatch the 1994 movie for the first time in ages. Figured it’d be good for a laugh.

And it was ... because this movie is actually a pretty solid, purposeful comedy.

What if I told you I was laughing hysterically out loud alone in my house at Street Fighter (1994)

I was so mad at this movie as a Street Fighter loving kid and it took me about 20 years to understand I'd been watching it all wrong. It's a dopey delight of a movie.

Not one of you MFers told me there was a Kelsey Grammer Olga Kurylenko HOT AIR BALLOON thriller. You have all failed me — all except @robert-emmet.bsky.social.

Saw a TV ad for this meal and my first instinct was to look for Matt’s analysis. #filmsky 📽

I'm on the wrong coast, but I have discussed it with Wiger and Griffin over text message, don’t you worry.

I am fairly certain that was Ice Cube as Department of Homeland Security officer Will Radford in War of the Worlds.

The Worst Movies of 2025 There were a lot of great films this year. There were also some big misses.

I know some people do not like worst of lists. That’s fine. I see it as the flip side of making a top ten. How do we know the best is the best without something to measure it against?

(Or maybe I’m just in pain and this is my anguished howl into the void. Potato potahtoe.)
