I am a #Scream4 (2011, Wes Craven) apologist.

Scream 4 is the only film in the franchise to fully embrace how camp horror sequels tend to be. It knows it can't outdo the original and doesn't try - instead it becomes a self-aware parody. The only different, truly unique sequel in the franchise.

🌟 My 4 favourite new-to-me films for February 2026 🌟

My faves ❤️

Buffy and Pacey in #Scream2 is such a flex.

Only in the 90's.

I've decided to re-watch all the #Scream films.

The original is one of my all-time favorite films. It holds up incredibly well. Genuinely scary AND darkly funny with great performances and the Ghostface reveal to end all Ghostface reveals. The franchise will forever be chasing this masterpiece.

Holy shit, I miss Blockbuster so much. The kids of today don't understand how great it was growing up, going to Blockbuster after school on a Friday night. #Scream

"It's the Marty Supreme Ball, not the Marty Normal Ball"

I kinda wanted to hate #MartySupreme (2025, Josh Safdie). Afterall, Chalamet will be winning the Oscar I still believe Leo deserves. But I didn't hate it. It is a BRILLIANT piece of filmmaking. And Chalamet is brilliant. I actually LOVED IT.

I saw #Scream7.

Let's be honest, Scream hasn't been truly great since the 90's. And Scream 7 is no better, no worse, than the other sequels. There are some things I liked about it, some I didn't.

Overall it's a fun, mindless 120 minute slasher that is heavy on nostalgia. Sidney carries the film.

I just watched #SkyscraperSouls (1932, Edgar Selwyn).

Well that escalated quickly...

Robert Carradine, who previously starred in ‘Lizzie McGuire,’ has passed away at 71.

"Pretty is just how good you apply your base"

I just watched #TheGirlCantHelpIt (1956, Frank Tashlin) for the first time. It's really more "time capsule" than feature film. A jukebox musical that explores the world of rock and roll in the 1950's 💙 Jayne Mansfield is excellent as the leading lady.

No, it's more how hopeful and moral Sorkin's view of American politics and, in particular, the Presidency is.

Given the current regime, it hurts to think we once lived in a time where people earnestly believed the President served the American people first and foremost - before he served himself.

"Mr. President, you've got bigger problems than losing me. You just lost my vote!"

#TheAmericanPresident (1995) is an underrated Rob Reiner gem, as well as being an unofficial companion piece to "The West Wing". That said, Aaron Sorkin's interpretation of US politics is depressing to watch in 2026.

"Who are we making jealous?"
"Everyone, Nicole. Everyone"

#DriveMeCrazy (1999, John Schultz) is one of my comfort films. I LOVED this film so much growing up, and it still holds a very special place in my heart. And the film itself holds up. A really cute romantic comedy!

For the last week, I haven't been able to watch anything but romantic comedies. My mental health hasn't been great and it's the only media I've been able to consume.

I forgot just how much I love 90's/00's rom-coms. The peak of the genre. As a teenager, they were basically all I watched.

I just read that the dog in the film #MustLoveDogs (2005, Gary David Goldberg) was actually played by two 6 month old puppies - who are BOTH somehow well behaved and well trained enough to be actors.

Unrelated story: I found my 8 month old puppy eating my iPhone earlier tonight.

Robin Williams was such a gem.

#NineMonths (1995, Chris Columbus)

Whoever concieved of Jeff Goldblum and Hugh Grant being best friends in a film deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

#NineMonths (1995, Chris Columbus)

David Duchovny in an old school rom-com. I AM SEATED.

#ReturnToMe (2000, Bonnie Hunt)

Michael Vartan in #NeverBeenKissed (1999, Raja Gosnell) means so much to me.

From Tim Millard from WB on Twitter. It’s a scan of the original nitrate 😭 Same extras as the DVD.

My beautiful, favourite, perfect, forever go-to "I need cheering up" film is being released on Blu-ray next month.

As the great Hilary Duff once said - "hey now, hey now. this is what dreams are made of".

If you're in the market for wrestling companies, here's a major difference between AEW and WWE.

The Muppet Show (2026)
- Rizzo sings a cover of Blinding Lights

I'm a #TheMuppetShow enthusiast and this revival CAN'T be one-off. It somehow manages to recreate the charm of the original series, while still feeling modern. Sabrina Carpenter was delightful.

Also I'm going to be re-watching Rizzo's "Blinding Lights" performance on repeat for the next week.

"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever"

Tonight was my first time watching #ThisisSpinalTap (1984, Rob Reiner) 🎸 It's INSANE that Rob Reiner has so many iconic films in so many different genres. I cant wait to re-watch this film! I'm going to be thinking about "Stonehenge" for days.

I'm stealing this.
