Have dealt with similar situations when my daughter was in school. It was a constant battle to get teachers and the school system to understand and care. Spent so much time educating them. Keep pushing until you get the assistance she needs. Solidarity. Sending love to you both.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN is a lot of fun! Rian Johnson's best murder mystery featuring an outstanding ensemble cast. Daniel Craig is superb as Benoit Blanc. Good stuff. #filmsky #fyc

Absolutely everyone needs to see THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB, a timely, devastating film about a little girl trapped in a car in Gaza on the phone with emergency workers. Based on a true story. Excellent, gut punch of a film. #filmsky #fyc

Kate Hudson blew me away in SONG SUNG BLUE and you don't have to be a Neil Diamond fan to appreciate this incredible, unbelievable real-life love story. Bring tissues. #filmsky #fyc

He's great in everything but Matthew Lillard is a legend for his performance in SCREAM. One of my favorite things in the world. Tarantino is a miserable person.

Not at all a super hero fan but I really enjoyed THUNDERBOLTS*! What a great cast with amazing chemistry. Like that it deals with themes of mental health and trauma in a thoughtful way. Very enjoyable film. #filmsky #fyc

Oh yes, great example. We will never truly know all the answers or exactly what Lynch’s work means and I think that's kind of beautiful. And it forces us to think about it. I love that.

Research is important and good. The fact that we all have little computers in our pockets but no one bothers to use them to look stuff up anymore boggles my mind.

I just feel like if art is spoon fed to you did you learn anything? Did you even feel anything? Did it make you view something outside of yourself in a different way? I don't know, kids. That's a pretty sad way to experience art and life. Just saying.

I've interviewed enough filmmakers over the past decade who have told me that the viewer is expected to interpret their movie in their own way. But when I tell a total stranger on the internet that sometimes movies require you to put in a little work and think about things, I get blocked. Lol 🀷

Yes! This movie is like an awful gut punch but also a really moving audiovisual experience. The moment when the dad is devastated and grieving and he drops acid and starts to vibe with the music has haunted me. I think IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is great, but I think SIRAT is better.

Houston! I have your Sunday evening plans set- come hang with me at the River Oaks Theater for a screening of THE RULES OF ATTRACTION.

I'll be moderating a Q&A with actor Shannyn Sossamon!

I need to watch the last episode, but it's okay? It's really hard to be hyped when there is so much time between seasons and the kids are grown up.
