When I lived in DC, I looked forward to reading her reviews. And I love that she recognized 2007 as one of the best years in film. I agree! RIP

Michael is more of a musical than most submissions that get in as “comedies” tbh

At the Michael Douglas marathon today at The Egyptian. I’m curious what 4 MD films others would have programmed?

If you have TCM, I strongly recommend watching this. A rare documentary I’ve seen twice. One of favorite films in recent years. It goes beyond “what went wrong” with one of biggest bombs of all time It’s a career retrospective of an underrated filmmaker Philosophical too

Olivia Wilde could make Oscars history as the first woman to direct herself to an acting nomination for “The Invite.” The movie is quickly emerging as A24’s strongest awards bet of the season, with general audiences turning out and industry voters continuing to pack awards screenings. variety.com/2026/film/awards…

According to this mouse, don’t count Digger out this awards season!

Currently in a theater that’s being invaded by mice. I saw one. But then saw others. Kind of distracting. I am going to make a list later: movies where I encountered mice in the theater. I think this is the 4th time it’s happened while I’ve been in NYC.

Totally agree! @firstshowing I saw this at @BeyondFest last year and it was easily one of the best films I saw in 2025

Best film I've seen this week - Boorman and the Devil! An *exceptional* doc about cinema history going back to the days when Warner Bros was letting filmmakers make WILD new films. It's a tell-all doc about director John Boorman making Exorcist II: The Heretic - an infamous flop.

Melissa McCarthy says the entertainment industry “doesn’t respect comedy”: "I don’t know when that became the thing to do — and you can call any project a comedy to get into an awards category. Anybody just gets to claim it, because no real comedies are ever going to get awarded. I’m stopped 15 times a day by somebody who says, 'I desperately need you to do another comedy.' And I’m like, 'We are trying. I’m trying!' And people need it, that’s for sure." wp.me/pc8uak-1lHJT2

Two of Dolly Parton’s most beloved films, “Steel Magnolias” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” are returning to the big screen following the country music icon’s death on Tuesday. Beginning Friday, Aug. 28, AMC Theatres will screen both films at approximately 200 locations nationwide, including in Parton’s home state of Tennessee. variety.com/2026/film/news/a…

Me when I found out the news :( She’s was my dad’s favorite singer, star of one of my favorite films, ally, humanitarian and more. I’ll always remember you each time I stumble out of bed and more myself a cup of ambition

This is like the opposite of that One Night Only movie. Spoiler alert: They’re still going to breadcrumb before blocking by Sunday

Random fun fact - Speed sells out at Vidiots faster than a Nolan film at Universal City Walk! Probably because it’s such an LA film. Eagle Rock also loves Keanu too because Point Break tends to sell out also.

I love that The Invite is the box office top 10 in only 28 theaters! It’s easily my favorite film of the year!

I don’t think I’ve seen a year with so many lock step Oscar predictions. Kind of makes sense given the number of sweepers this year (at least in the crafts) Seems like that means we’ll see some Alice in Wonderland, Fantastic Beasts, Lincoln/All Quiet in Prod Design type wins

One thing giving me pause about predicting Sentimental Value over Secret Agent based on the nominations count: Pan’s Labyrinth had a lot of nominations but still lost to The Lives of Others which was a sole nominee
