Roofman ★★★ Roofman, directed by Derek Cianfrance, comes armed with a wild and wacky true story of a man named Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum). After his discharge from the United States Army Reserve, Jeffrey struggled to make ends meet. Rather than being able to give his daughter the bike she dreamed of for her birthday, all he can afford to give her is a toy set that he once played with as a boy.

Derek Cianfrance's Roofman, like his film The Place Beyond the Pines before it, explores the idea that people can't outrun their fate and actions through an absurd yet thoughtful character study of the Rooftop Robber. Read Kevin Jones' review of Roofman below:

Anemone ★★½ It has been eight years since Daniel Day-Lewis last appeared in a film. In the lead up to Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, Day-Lewis had made it clear he intended to retire. It was not the first time he had stepped away from acting, having previously taken a hiatus to become a shoe-maker in Italy in between making…

One Battle After Another ★★★★ “The revolution will not be televised.” It’s the title of the classic Gil Scott-Heron song, a defining, poetic ode to Black Liberation that continues to have a driving urgency despite being written 55 years ago. In Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, it’s also part of the codespeak used by revolutionary activists who’ve been forced into hiding after one of their members was captured by the authorities and named names.

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is a thrilling Pynchon adaptation that proclaims counterculture is alive and well. Read Sean Erickson's review of One Battle After Another below:

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey ★★½ Earlier this year, Mike Flanagan’s The Life of Chuck began with a mystery. ‘Who is Chuck?’, the man whose face appears on billboards, is thanked in radio advertisements, and has become omnipresent despite no one knowing his identity. Flanagan ultimately spends the remainder of his film peeling back the mystery of who Chuck is. To do this, Flanagan references the…

Kogonada's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is refreshing in its intentions though has its fair share of challenges with its script that Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell do their best to overcome. Read Alex Sitaras' review of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey below:

For @cineccentric.bsky.social, I reviewed #TheLongWalk. Entering the pantheon of great Stephen King adaptations, it is a bleak and horrifying look at life under fascist rule. However, it is also a story of brotherhood and friendship with brilliant performances. My full review: #FilmSky

The Long Walk ★★★½ The Long Walk is a film about brotherhood and friendship. It is a story about the good, the sliver of light and its power amidst the dark oppressive forces threatening to snuff it out. The very first novel written by Stephen King (though not the first to be published), The Long Walk is set in a totalitarian America, 19 years after a war that forever changed the country.

Francis Lawrence's The Long Walk is a worthy adaptation of the Stephen King novel that provides a chilling look at life under a totalitarian regime through its barbaric walk. Read Kevin Jones' review of The Long Walk below:

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

ah, well

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Highest 2 Lowest ★★½ The New York City skyline is beautiful. Cinematographer Matthew Libatique’s camera conveys this at the start of Highest 2 Lowest, Spike Lee’s latest film and remake of the Akira Kurosawa classic High and Low. Norm Lewis serenades the scene with a rendition of ‘Oh What A Beautiful Mornin’’ that leads to a zoom onto music mogul David King’s (

Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest has a lot to say and craftily leverages the story of High and Low to do so, however, the film isn't able to resist its worst impulses. Read Alex Sitaras' thoughts on the film below:
