A ★★★★★ review of Sorry, Baby (2025) What’s the film version of literary fiction? This felt like a debut novel in a way, so honest and personal and beautifully crafted. Eva Victor is a potential mother! I’d missed Lucas Hedges a lot, an ...

A ★★ review of After the Hunt (2025) Julia Roberts looking fabulous, smoking cigarettes and doing her best Lydia Tár. The film reminded me of Nocturnal Animals, vacuous but gorgeous to look at. Luca’s Tom Ford era, I guess?

A ★★★★★ review of The Long Goodbye (1973) Appropriate for Elliott Gould’s first movie post Barbra Streisand divorce. Robert Altman deconstructing the noir film. That final shot. That final SHOT. The film ending with the Keep It theme song… go...

"So much ... is about playing a person who has woken up inside of the choices they've made and realizing those choices are not their own. And then wanting to burn everything down." @irathethird.bsky.social profiles Tessa Thompson, mais oui. ❤️‍🔥 magazinec.com/style/tessa-...

A ★★★ review of Bugonia (2025) How does a film with such an obvious ending still feel like it was unearned. It also robs Emma Stone’s character of any worthwhile agency. The entire film I wondered what a full tilt boogie sci-fi fil...

A ★★★★ review of Marty Supreme (2025) in life, you’re either the baker or the baker’s wife and i’m pretty sure josh safdie thinks if the end is right, it justifies the beans.

Thanks for making this readable! In this newsletter I explore the idea of songs/artists making it "if there's any justice," and what exactly creates the unfair circumstances in the pop marketplace.

As was often the case, Roger was right.

New York Times bestselling author and film & TV critic at New York Magazine Matt Zoller Seitz's LEADING MAN, the definitive biography of Jack Nicholson, casting Nicholson as the complex main character in an era of American culture spanning six decades, while shining a light on the actor’s crucial role in shaping modern masculinity, both on and off the screen, based on new interviews and original reporting, to Amar Deol at Grand Central, in an exclusive submission, by Ethan Bassoff at WME.

My next book will be a biography of Jack Nicholson, written as an epic story of the transformation of the movie industry and modern masculinity from the 1950s to the present, with Nicholson as the main character. The title: Leading Man.

A ★★★ review of Christine (1983) tightly made, it is john carpenter after all, and the score is banging but i hated all of these characters especially arnie. maybe if the gay subtext with dennis was text. bitchin car tho!
