“Fist my bump.” A scientist (Ryan Gosling) wakes up aboard a ship deep in space, with all his crew mates dead. He battles amnesia to discover that he’s been sent on a mission to stop the sun from dimming. We’re back with the Something Str...

Project Hail Mary has almost all of the stuff I love about Spielberg sci-fi without almost none of the stuff I hate. (Mildest spoilers for stuff that's in the trailers)

I was on the fence about seeing UNDERTONE because even though critics seemed to be digging it for the most part, I was noticing it was divisive among horror fans in a very familiar way. This seems to happen a lot with small scale, intimate flicks that rely on viewers... The post Undertone first appeared on kindertrauma.

By Jessica Holmes We’ve arrived at Timeslip’s final story, and the stakes have never been higher. With Liz kidnapped and Traynor on the verge of enacting the disastrous Master Plan, it’s up to the time-travelling teens to find a way to stop him before it’s too late and save the future. In Case You Missed … Continue reading [March 24, 1971] The Best Laid Plans (Timeslip: The Day Of The Clone [Parts 1-3]) → The post [March 24, 1971] The Best Laid Plans (<i>Timeslip</i>: The Day Of The Clone [Pa...

Lemony Snicket has a classic hotel room full of string in A Series of Unfortunate Events s01e08 (Netflix, 2017).

I haven’t read the book that Hamnet (2026) was based on, but I have a

After watching Kurosawa’s High & Low (Criterion 4k release) and Linklater’s Blue Moon, this list of films set primarily in a single location seems apt. (Even if though only the first half of High & Low is a chamber drama, I’d add it.) Nice reminders of Assault on Precinct 13 and The Party.

1985 espionage comedy, dir. John Landis, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase: IMDb. The covert operation needs some expendable noisemakers to distract attention from the real agents, and here are two guys who just got caught cheating on the exam…

Name: Queen Kelly Age: Somewhere from 92 to 96 years old. Or brand new, maybe? Appearance: Decadent visions of dissipated European royalty in palatial grandeur, and seedy expat iniquity in East Africa. Erich von Stroheim directed this film, so every frame bursts with expensive vices, exposed flesh, outlandish costumes, drifts of spring blossom or swags … Continue reading Instant Expert: Queen Kelly →

The Wretched is a pretty fun indie horror movie that's most notable for its point of view (Spoilers after a warning)

A travel competition show filmed in Taiwan, starting tomorrow on YouTube…

Here it is. The rotting dark heart of Star Trek: Voyager.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Terry Covington, who passed last year. NICK TAYLOR: In the grand tradition of the Drag Race makeover challenge, I have no idea what some of the judges thought they were watching. Hyping up how bullish Michelle is about drag family resemblance really just emphasizes how vague and stupid her standards are. Our dear eliminated queen seems to have been sacrificed primarily based on the track record, and since the judges have largely been under-acknowled...

The opening story, Prologue to Earthwar, is an all-time Legion banger, despite a bit of weaponized misogyny and classism. And Wildfire being okay with manslaughter on his conscience. Oh, and weird racism against the bad guys. They’re green and slimy, so the Legionnaires call them slime-related slurs. Is it speciesism? Finally, lots of it is … Continue reading Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (1977) #241

How many clueless men can you fit on one Below Deck Down Under yacht? A lot, as it turns out! Thankfully, Ellie is here to set them on the right course.

The first recording today starts with the end of Panorama. There’s a trail for BBC Newsbeat, and a trail for The Graham Norton Show featuring Rod Stewart, Dawn French and Michael Palin. Then it’s a new episode of Life – Insects. Two Darwin’s Beetles fight it out over (what else) a potential mate. The one with the biggest […]

As I said in my recent post, I’ve been laggard in keeping up to date on this website. The following Blu-ray releases are no longer fresh, but they warrant your attention nonetheless.     If you want to know why Louise Brooks has such a fervent following, make it a point to see G.W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. Focus on Louise Brooks from Flicker Alley is aimed at the diehards who want to see every frame of footage in which she appeared, including the first silent films she ...

THE FOLLOWING WAS WRITTEN BY MY FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE ALONSO DURALDE. YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM HERE. WHAT’S NEW ON 4K/BLU/DVD IN MARCH: KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, OFFICE KILLER, THE BIG COMBO, AND MORE! NEW RELEASE WALL Killers of the Flower Moon (The Criterion Collection): Given how long it took Apple TV to put Best Picture winner CODA on physical media, we should be grateful for the relative speed with which we’re getting a 4K release of Martin Scorsese’s masterful tale of crimes commit...

I watched Louis Theroux’s “Inside the Manosphere” today. I'd maybe go as far as saying it’s an irresponsible level of detachment from actually covering the manosphere in any meaningful way.

I watched the movie yesterday in the theater, and it was a blast. So wanted to share some thoughts about it, but first, we need to talk about Andy Weir’s first book. The Martian I swallowed the book in just a few evenings. It was a thrilling read that kept me engaged from start to finish. It is a must-read for anyone who loves science fiction. Fun fact: that was the first book I bought on my Kindle straight after finishing the sample. I was so excited to read it that I tapped the “Buy” ...

I'm sorry, I know you liked Brooke. He told me that she worships you, she kept talking about how smart you are, how interesting...
