Still one of my favorites of 2025. See it in a theater again or for the first time. A very fun one to squirm and laugh through with a crowd!

Canada's Oscar submission? Sure why the heck not!

It's probably SHIN GODZILLA, which I finally saw for the first time and is like the monsterverse version of HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, but somehow less bleak.

but it ended up looking digital anyway…

Starving millions in one thing but we can't have a few people having their flights rescheduled

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If only the Democrats had someone in leadership who was committed to doing anything other than conceding

This is Sentimental Value's category to swipe

Life is a cabaret, old chum

In his Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction speech, Jack White shouted out over 30 acts that inspired the White Stripes – none of whom have been inducted

Will we ever recover from the long shadow of SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE?

ALSO: The degree to which the TIFF Audience Award has become a badge of shame is also pretty astonishing (which makes the fact that it's pretty obviously rigged all the funnier).

The Year’s First Oscars Villain Has Arrived Hamnet is emotional, feminine, directed by an Oscar winner. But it’s also not Sinners or One Battle After Another.

"Alas poor Hamnet, I knew him!"

-- Joe Reid takes the temperature on the weird anti-Zhao sentiment already brewing in the awards race.

Always love seeing where people are at as deadlines loom. Here's the top of my current list of movies I saw in 2025, in only the roughest of tiers.

Nia DaCosta's Hedda is basically what every season of The White Lotus wants to be

I mean, just call them "tweets". X hasn't been called that for years.

Oh no

But is it even cinema if you don't wait in line all day to get a picture of yourself hastily buying a few discs inside a truck?

Damn, that's a disappointing turnout for one of the best movies of the year. I guess it's made the rounds at a ton of festivals?

idk none of them being believable makes the ending more credible?

"Amanda Seyfried's luminous eyes are watching God in Mona Fastvold's maximalist epic of the original Dance Church." didn't fit in this very good trailer for a very good movie.

this perception will vary greatly by baseline tolerance to stand-up comedy

Honestly I never recovered from the cameo at the midpoint but someone needs to unpack how in IS THIS THING ON? Cooper styles himself as Marc Maron and Will Arnett as himself before all the cosmetic surgery.

Woke 2.0 hits different when it comes for the space monsters and makes them gay.

Reactions to DIE MY LOVE seem to vary based on how soon you realize what's Lynne Ramsay is up to.

Doing this on the same day that Activision announced next week's Call of Duty release schedule is the cheffiest of chef's kisses.

Hell no, a thousand times no.

Fair! We have the voting technology to get rid of separate nomination and winner phases, but people like traditions.

Because of that I'm at peace trusting the nomination phase to sort out what's cram-worthy.

Our winners are after NY, LA, NBR, Boston, DC, Atlanta, San Diego, Michigan, Chicago, Phoenix, and Vegas. Seattle announces same day as St Louis, SF, and Toronto.

Part of it is that some like having a two-stage process with a gap between nominations and winners.
