If you want to revisit another time, you can see my writing about a post-/mid-disaster world in the best movies of 2021 for @thespool. Godzilla. France. Shiva Baby. Snake Eyes.

Due to a strange happenstance, I saw Kill Bill Vol. 2 first, so I knew her daughter was alive when I saw Vol. 1 and it was a fascinating way to view the films.
I wrote about it for @thespool back in 2019. thespool.net/features/kill-b…

"Expect a kind of censorship-by-exclusion that takes its direction from Amazon’s need to sell Prime memberships and government contracts, not the needs of its viewers or the creative impulses of its storytellers," writes @SamuelHarwood3 for @thespool.

Heard it here first folks: DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA might just be better than the original? Swaps the grim macho nihilism vibe of the first for a dudes-rock bromance featuring one of the most thrilling heists in recent memory.

The jaw-dropping week-long Ennio Morricone retrospective @musicboxtheatre kicks off Thursday night with a 35MM screening of Brian De Palma’s uneven but fascinating 2000 oddity. Shockingly, I had some thoughts on it @thespool thespool.net/reviews/movies/…

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER was a foundational part of my childhood. Netflix’s remake isn’t *awful*, but it’s what you’d get if you asked someone to recite the plot from memory- the broad strokes are there, but the details aren’t quite right. for @thespool: thespool.net/reviews/netflix…

#MadameWeb makes MORBIUS look like a masterpiece, a cynical brand exercise that wastes a cool idea (superhero film as suspense thriller) on AI-caliber dialogue and muddy visuals. Dakota Johnson wanders through this thing in a daze.

ICYMI yesterday, I reviewed #OneDay, finding it a charming romance that portrays the passage of time in smart ways that most my age will feel in their bones. buff.ly/3HTOlOM
