A ★★★½ review of The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Hmm. A complicated one for me, more than expected. I’d seen mostly nothing but overwhelming praise for The Testament of Ann Lee since its first festival premiere, and having been swept up and overwhel...

A ★★★½ review of No Other Choice (2025) Continuing a long weekend of movies at the 2025 Philadelphia Film Festival, is the latest from Park Chan-wook, someone I have a huuuuuuge blind spot for. Having only seen Oldboy and The Handmaiden, I’...

A ★★★★½ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025) Kicking things off at this year’s Philadelphia Film Festival with the latest from Rian Johnson, what has become a staple for me since my first fest back in 2019 with Knives Out. Not-so-surprisingly, I...

who would have guessed that I’d fail to post about attending the annual Philadelphia Film Festival? Me. I would have guessed.

Anyways!
Been a fun couple of days to kick things off.
Will (try to) keep updating this thread as I see more movies from this years festival! #pff34 #filmsky #letterboxd

I’m just baffled at how this Phase is over and ending on Ironheart rather than ending with Doomsday or Secret Wars.

Like…
I feel it’d make sense to have Phase 6 end with Doomsday as this big shocking finale, and then Secret Wars kicks off the exciting new status quo.

shoutout to the Barnes & Noble Summer Criterion Sale.

Two hauls completed.

Meant to post my review of 28 Days Later the other day… but alas. I did just finish the sequel a little while ago though, so now here’s both of them!

Rachel Zegler singing Don't Cry for Me Argentina to the general public is a great gimmick for Evita at the London Palladium. People hating on her and this are losers

finished S1 of The Studio and S1 of Adults this past week… so this is what my current rankings look like for 2025 TV shows.

It feels crazy that The Studio is as great as it is, but isn’t able to be in my Top 3… but Andor, The Rehearsal, and Severance were all that groundbreaking and outstanding!

A ★★★★½ review of The Phoenician Scheme (2025) I’ve seen the takes that this is low-tier Wes Anderson and that people aren’t vibing with the lack of “cozy, warm vibes” that he became so known for during his peak, if you can even call it that. For ...
