A review by @frickyuu on twitter reads: FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. Itโs emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesnโt stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.

Also if any people writing / editing people in my circle want to do the same, cannot recommend @11ty.dev enough! Don't know too much coding myself, but as long as you've written in markdown (think Obsidian, iA writer or Bear Notes) you can pretty much write posts like word and then host on Github.

Pained me physically to write a bad review for this cause it has all the things I should like, weird horror, elevated style and a French Female Director. But this felt like it was grasping at tropes and riding on a trend rather than actually joining the conversation of female led horror. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐

Itโs a little cheesy, and Iโm kinda confused why they didnโt market it with the showโs audience in mind, but itโs a fun enough to recommend for an at-home watch ๐ฝ๏ธ๐

โNight At the Gates of Hellโ Games Horrorโs Maestros
Austin Lancaster explores the rough-hewn indie gameโs resonances with the cinematic nightmares of Lucio Fulci and Bruno Mattei.
In the latest entry of his Screen Play column, Austin Lancaster wades into a world of vulgarityโthe "nasty, cheap, and gratuitous"โwith indie game NIGHT AT THE GATES OF HELL, which riffs on the gauche greats of Italian horror, Lucio Fulci & Bruno Mattei.

This film is the perfect example of what can happen when cultures arenโt just slapped onto a film as an afterthought. So glad Rankin and team were able to find a distributor cause everyone deserves to see this in theatres at least once! ๐ฝ๏ธ๐

Review: โSalt Along the Tongueโ is a Ripe, Multi-Layered Reckoning
A touching portrayal of migrant womanhood and a lurid, supernatural feast, Parish Malfitanoโs second feature bends genre with ravishing success.
โBeneath the narrative of bodily possessions lies a tale of complex intergenerational hang-ups and historic resentments.โ
Nicole Cadelina reviews Parish Malfitanoโs SALT ALONG THE TONGUE, a genre-bending, supernatural portrayal of migrant womanhood currently playing FFFA.

All for older people getting a feel good story in cinemas. But when it boils down homelessness to a positive and life changing experience, itโs a bit hard to stomach. ๐ฅ๐

Iโve already had cases of people trying to use AI to converse with me about silent films (self-confessed, they were so weird I asked them if they were a bot)
Instead of engaging in human terms, they tried to outsource knowledgeโฆ for what? What they was the end game? Itโs bizarre.
