Tron: Ares is the worst film of the year and a new low for Disney – review The music’s great, but this Jared Leto vehicle is otherwise an ethically dubious, horribly written nadir in franchise slop

TRON: ARES has this year’s best score playing over this year’s worst film

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The Lost Bus is a real-life horror story warped by Hollywood – review This depiction of the 2018 Camp Fire disaster in Butte County, northern California, wants to be a realistic docu-drama, but it gives its star far too much fictional drama than is needed

THE LOST BUS: there’s a new paul greengrass, so time for the conversation about exploitation & entertainment again

With Urchin, Harris Dickinson announces himself as a gutsy new filmmaker – review The British actor hasn’t wasted his cinematic education, and there are shades of many of his past collaborators – including Steve McQueen and Joanna Hogg – in this striking social-realist drama

harris dickinson’s directorial debut URCHIN is exactly the kind of gutsy, thoughtful, studied work you want from an actor stepping behind the lens

a slam dunk performance from anthony boyle, but at what cost

BUGONIA: gonna call this yorgos lanthimos’s prometheus for my own amusement. an immaculately balanced tragi-comedy, like tonal witchcraft

& look at how if you cast an autistic actor as your autistic character (aidan delbis), you get a moving & nuanced performance instead of some patronising farce

the cover of picturehouse recommends magazine - it features the poster for bugonia, in which emma stone’s face is projected on a blood-red stain that drips down to a hooded figure in a beekeeper suit

an article on frankenstein

my piece on guillermo del toro’s FRANKENSTEIN is in the current issue of picturehouse recommends - hopefully the first of several!!

enjoyed season two of GEN V, but it’s interesting how indistinguishable it feels now from the things it’s supposedly satirising

A massive thank you to my legal team. Darragh, Judge, blinne, Brenda, Gareth and to all at Phoenix Law. A special thanks also to my interpreter Susan. This entire process was never about me, never about any threat to the public and never about "terrorism", A word used by your government to discredit people you oppress. It was always about Gaza. About what happens if you dare speak up.

As people from Ireland we know oppression, colonialism, famine and genocide. We have suffered and still suffer under "Your empire". Your attempts to silence us have failed, because we are right, and you are wrong. We will not be silent. We said we would fight you in your court and we would win. We have. If anyone on this planet is guilty of terrorism, it is the British state. Free Palestine! Tiocfaidh ár lá."

Swiped is a girlboss Social Network that is half film, half Bumble advert – review This Disney+ biopic treats Whitney Wolfe Herd’s often harrowing experiences in the male-dominated tech industry with appropriate seriousness, but ultimately becomes a bland PR exercise

is SWIPED a movie or a bumble ad?

I refuse to be told by a guy who has suggested all neurodivergent Individuals should be institutionalised, and another whose brain was eaten by a worm, that my being autistic is the problem, or a crisis. Autistic individuals aren't the problem, the way we are treated and minimised damn sure is.

Everybody buy some whistles and hand them out. This is a great idea.

funniest part of seeing kneecap live was getting stopped by security outside bc he apparently did not like what i was wearing - which was kneecap merch you buy inside at the kneecap gig

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is a twee throwback to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl era Colin Farrell and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are among the cast of a movie that just about rises above motivational-poster sentimentality

not quite in the pro or anti camp on A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY. there’s a weird tension between what feels kogonada and what feels like a garden state throwback

One Battle After Another is a ferocious masterpiece – review Paul Thomas Anderson has directed a swaggering, funny and timely action epic, where momentum never lets up and supporting actors Sean Penn and Teyana Taylor steal the show

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is paul thomas anderson’s ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, in a way. but while his contemporary looked back, he chooses to look resolutely forward. its ferocious and tender and exhilarating to behold
