The answer to The Real Housewives of New York's problems is obvious Our writer suggests what can bring some juice back to Bravo's flagship reality series.

Should the next season of RHONY fall short, Bravo needs to do something drastic I fear... Bringing back a couple of original cast members would likely be disastrous, but still I yearn

To be clear, I've been weight lifting at an amateur level for like 5 years, do yoga, and am generally active. That shit will STILL kill you

Will is a fantastic writer and editor, and also just a good friend to have in this cruel as fuck industry — if you have opportunities you won't regret getting in touch with him!

Halloween: How Laurie Strode Became The Boogeyman You don't believe in the Boogeyman? You should.

An old bit from me about Halloween 2018's satisfying 3rd act role reversal: How a reforged Laurie literally sets her past ablaze — and in it, evil's eyes stare back through orange flames.

None of the franchise's battles were as alive with meaning as this one! www.zavvi.com/blog/feature...

Not only did I find a horror movie called 'Shark Side of the Moon' on Plex, but it's some sort of assembly version. Tubi originals really are something, huh

Gia retrospective: Too wild to live A look back at Gia, a 1998 biopic about a famous model's struggle with addiction.

Wrote about the enduring allure of Michael Cristofer's Gia. From its strange documentary-like structure to the excavation of the model's meteoric rise and fall, it's one of the all time great biopics: skyboxcritics.com/2025/09/25/g...

‘Lady Bird’ and What It Means to Hate Home This piece was originally published in the  Film Daze Digital Magazine, Issue 6: Adolescence. Enjoy! – The Film Daze Team In Greta Gerwig’s coming-of-age gem Lady Bird, Sacramento is a …

Loving this Lady Bird discourse because I have an excuse to reshare my take from 2021 (when I was closer in age to the character), which is that the movie is about both resenting and being fundamentally shaped by your home & family: filmdaze.net/lady-bird-an...

My latest on @skyboxcritics.com from me is all about Jean-Marc Vallée's singular body of work.

How he was drawn to messy women, loved to celebrate survival, and his signature editing style that made the likes of Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies so unforgettable: skyboxcritics.com/2025/08/20/j...

It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

Watch an exclusive trailer for the new 4K restoration of Pedro Almodóvar’s 1986 film Matador, by Video Mercury Films. 🐂

The restoration will premiere in the Classics section of the upcoming Venice Film Festival.
