seriously concerned what the cancellation of Wong Kar Wai might mean for The Prince Charles Cinema programmers

I liked Last Swim

The film of the year? | Tom Davidson | The Critic Magazine What happens when you give Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the most acclaimed auteurs of the 21st century, a budget of roughly $150m, a hare-brained Thomas Pynchon novel about washed-up revolutionaries…

ended up seeing One Battle After Another three times in cinemas and I'm still yearning to see it again

rather than ripping the plaster off, why don't we apply lots of other, smaller, more irritating plasters

"It is fate, but call it Italy if it pleases you, Vicar"

'Civil War epic'? Que?

no idea how the tank caught up with the train though

He's a powerful snogger. Works for Xenia...

Brosnan is actually the 'best' Bond but hampered by terrible, terrible scripts (Goldeneye/Tomorrow Never Dies innocent though)

overindulged in the Criterion UK sale but I’ve been waiting for this for a LONG time - only double dip is Night Moves and I’ve just donated the Blu to Oxfam…

3/4 totally basic pope selections

that's twice in three weeks I've seen trailers for high profile movies, not out 3-4 months, advertised on TNT Sports during the football...

errr, Badlands is a lovers-on-the-run film and Days of Heaven is a period romance, neither of them plot-wise scream 'Western' to me.

IDK, i don't really care but when I watched Train Dreams I took absolutely nothing 'Malickian' from it. Jesse James a bit, sure.

As far as I'm aware, Malick has never made a Western?

Also, 'people get swallowed up by time' isn't a particularly Malickian trait.

Malick does investigate nature and man's impact on it, for sure. But that's a bit vague for all the direct comparisons. Train Dreams is too kitsch to be Malick.

I really don't get the Malick comparisons with this movie... because it's got some lush cinematography and a voiceover?

Watched Ep1 this morning... locked in for the series.

If Martin Scorsese’s next movie is a Hawaiian crime drama starring Dwayne Johnson, I’ll eat my hat A bit of common sense and some critical thinking and this report doesn’t really seem likely

I think my hat is safe

"Bugonia" makes listening a radical act In Yorgos Lanthimos' film, Emma Stone is not an alien intent on destroying Earth — if only anyone would listen

Have you seen the new Hersh documentary? Cover Up?

no one has talked about how Jared Harris just yeets himself off the Pentagon

not the Telegraph calling The Mastermind 'a little muted'

deeply unserious

honest question - are Trojans renowned for their work ethic? I thought they were more famed for their ability to be duped by hollowed-out farmyard statues

Love+War - a documentary about conflict photographer Lynsey Addario - is also out in the UK today and I quite liked it.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is out in the UK today.

I was not a fan.

“Hugo? Who’s he?”

apart from omitting the only ‘kids film’ Marty ever made, this is an amazing and enthralling five part documentary on the king of modern cinema

I want to rewatch his whole filmography now

Rankings are stupid: 41 movies at the 2025 BFI London Film Festival What did I make of the films at the 2025 BFI London Film Festival, including Hamnet, Bugonia, Die My Love and Pillion

ouch

Daniel Day-Lewis's 'comeback film' Anemone is not out in UK cinemas until November 7
