Here's the thread for my @letterboxd.social reviews for the month of #March. Read them, let me know your thoughts; let's talk movies! #FilmSky

🧵

A ★★★½ review of Sorry to Bother You (2018) Watched as part of my March 2020 Challenge. A film where the phone is crucial to the plot "If you get shown a problem, but have no idea how to control it, then you just decide to get used to the probl...

Random recommendation of the day: On hindsight, maybe this one deserves the extra half-star. Either way, Sorry to Bother You (2018) is a unique and surreal film that pokes at your brain. Impressive for a debut film. #FilmSky

Val Kilmer surely hit it big in the 80s and 90s with films like Top Gun, Heat, and Tombstone... and still, I keep going back to this hilarious scene whenever I think of him 😂 He'll be missed #RIPValKilmer

Rewatching TOMBSTONE. I often wonder what makes this film “the one western I like” to so many people that don’t like westerns. It’s not subversive. It lovingly embraces the tropes. It’s not overly “artistic.” It’s a straightforward western.

But it has one thing others do not:

Val Kilmer.

RIP

A ★★★★ review of Closer (2004) Watched as part of my November 2023 Challenge. A film from Mike Nichols "Everything is a version of something else." That is how Larry (Clive Owen) refers to a punk club he used to frequent when he wa...

Random recommendation of the day: Few people can capture the struggles of human interaction like Mike Nichols. 2004's Closer is a great example that invites us to be who we are, and not "versions of something else".

The Movie Loot 123: The February Loot - The Movie Loot Getting to the end of my Oscars journey, I talk about everything I saw in February, most of which were Oscar nominated films; from Best Picture nominees to documentaries, from features to short films,...

Before #Oscars night comes around, make sure you check out our February Loot, which includes a whole bunch of Oscar nominees. See if you agree with @thiefcgt.bsky.social's thoughts! #FilmSky

Gene Hackman was the kind of actor that could take any kind of role & elevate it in the most unassuming way; it doesn't matter if he was playing a basketball coach, an obsessed investigator, or a scenery-chewing villain. His work always felt effortless, but the results showed you the opposite. RIP.

This is what I've seen so far in #February. Very #Oscar focused, so even though I might catch something else in the next few days, I need to put this episode out before Sunday, so share your thoughts on any of these. #FilmSky

In the grand scheme of things, it's something really small, but I don't mind having a pick-me-up like this. Our latest episode had our best Opening DAY in 5+ years, and one of our best Opening Weeks so far. So thanks to all of you who support this show! #FilmSky

Your thoughts on a film that I just forgot. Guess you're gonna have to listen to find out 😉😁
