LOL

such a miserable season. I'm done for the year, time to just enjoy more movies.

A ★★★½ review of Zootopia 2 (2025) “Permission to hug?” The long-awaited sequel to 2016 critical and box office hit ZOOTOPIA comes roaring back with the expected humor and wit for ZOOTOPIA 2 (2025), a film that walks the fine line of b...

A really good Disney sequel. When was the last time we could say that? #Zootopia2

A ★★★★★ review of Train Dreams (2025) There's a quiet devastation within TRAIN DREAMS (2025), a marvelous adaptation of the 2011 novella by author Denis Johnson. Poet Robert Frost once said, “in three words I can sum up everything I’ve le...

A film that will devastate you in ways we rarely experience today in cinema. It's closest proximity to this is a Tarkovsky film. A truly amazing film. Now on Netflix.

A ★★★★ review of Bugonia (2025) BUGONIA (2025) is nuts; a calculated display from Yorgos Lanthimos about the dangerous nature of the rabbit hole echo chambers of conspiracy theories that cripple in the existential anxiety of such th...

A disturbing exploration in how your crazy uncle's theories are now global. A satire, but confused on who is the villain.

I've logged 900 films this year on @letterboxd.social

I love that you use subtitles!

It's UNCUT GEMS levels of anxiety for moms

Have you seen If I Had Legs I’d Kick You?

well you only really have Wicked For Good, Sisu 2 on theaters this weekend. I heard Train Dreams on Netflix is great.

*checks notes* I'm at...889 seen this year (theater, VOD, streaming, physical media) lol

100 in theaters only or 100 in all of 2025?

A ★★★★½ review of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) What if screaming in a pillow isn't the private, emotional cathartic release that it’s supposed to be? Linda (Rose Byrne) is on the brink: she's emotionally drained and riddled with oppressive anxiety...

Momcut Gems.

An anxiety-inducing look at a mom on the brink.

A ★★★★ review of A Hyena in the Safe (1968) The strange and exciting genre hybrid that is A HYENA IN THE SAFE (Una jena in Cassaforte, 1968) was unfairly ignored at the time of its release (it only played for about a week in theaters), and sinc...

@celluloid-dreams.bsky.social uncovers a forgotten, yet stylish heist thriller/giallo that's worthy of rediscovery.

A ★★★½ review of Keeper (2025) Using Elvin Bishop's 1975 song “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” over a ghastly image to end this film is certainly one way to put KEEPER (2025), an impressionistic nightmare from director Osgood Perki...

#Keeper is weird, but then again, men can be really weird.

A ★★★½ review of One Battle After Another (2025) Che Guevara said, “the revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall,” but in Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025), itself a loose adaptation of Vin...

Works best when it's a stoner comedy than anything political, which when it tries to be, is as deep as a meme.

One Battle After Another

Just saw a much lauded, critically appraised and audience adored 2025 movie that I thought was just pretty good, but not as great as all that would suggest.

A ★★★ review of Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story (2025) Max fumbled with the picture frame, struggling to fit the calotype of the murdered woman back into place…then saw something else, and went still…reads a bit of Joe Hill's Abraham’s Boys, a short story...

A western vampire gothic that twists the Stoker’s novel into an intriguing and slow direction.

People are weird: they're like "I kind of didn't like this movie"... one star on Letterboxd. Or "it was alright", 4.5 stars on Letterboxd.

A ★★★½ review of Die My Love (2025) The alarmist tone of Paul R. Ehrlic's The Population Bomb (1968), a theoretical study of the very reasonable fear of overpopulation based on the 1960 studies that women was having an average of six ch...

If Sylvia Plath wrote a horror film.

A ★★½ review of Frankenstein (2025) In one sentence, Colin Clive’s Henry Frankenstein roars a resounding defiance of hubris and self-affirmation with “by God, now I know what it feels like to be God”, that powerfully underscores not onl...

Pretty artifice; Del Toro’s Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

A ★★★★½ review of Predator: Badlands (2025) [Review translated from the Yautja language] Self-described as director Dan Trachtenberg's “big, crazy swing” within the once dormant PREDATOR franchise, one could argue with PREY (2022) and PREDATOR:...

How do you say in Yautja "this f*cking rules"?

Is HBO's The Chair Company kind of... great?

Recent pickup from @shoutstudios.bsky.social

I'm 3 films watched away from tying what I watched in all of 2024 lol

A ★★★★★ review of Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy (2025) Sometime in 1988, FBI profiler Robert Ressler received a gift from John Wayne Gacy, a painting of himself as Pogo the Clown, with an inscription reading, “Dear Bob Ressler, you cannot hope to enjoy th...

Now streaming on Peacock, this is the way to handle dramatizing the crimes of serial killers: with respect to the victims, dead and alive. A marvelous miniseries.

A ★★★½ review of Rabbit Trap (2025) There's a certain element of sonic pleasure, a form of ASMR if you will in Bryn Chainey's feature debut RABBIT TRAP (2025), that demands you to crank up the volume in your headphones or home theater s...

One of the more unique folk horror films in many years, that won't be for many.
