SCARY MOVIE
Had a blast! Evidence that horror has been great this past decade & its ridicule is more than needed. Some major highs & lame forgettable lows but so fun seeing the original gang back & allow the Wayans bros to take back their funny, often gross & very stupid creation
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
Great cast is let down by a bore of a script. Thankfully maintains much of the show's silliness. Nicholas Galtizine is a star but the film's attempt at any depth of discussion on masculinity is hindered by lame big studio resistance settling for barebones
Accountability doesn't exist in liminal space. My review of BACKROOMS a film that really won me over thanks to Kane Parsons patient ability to terrify while also expand rather than recreate. Give it a read

Every actor instantly said yes to Christopher Nolanโs โTHE ODYSSEYโ except than Robert Pattinson who asked to read the script.
โYou want to read it? Everyone else just said yes,โ Nolan replied.

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA
Spellbinding awakening of pleasure dominated by our own media consumption. Schoenbrun masterfully paints a fluid fascination of identity & sexual belonging. Hannah Einbinder & Gillian Anderson are magic together through haunting companionship
Catching up on Widow's Bay (a great summer show) and episode 4 is a terrifying riot! Kate O' Flynn is killing it. And what a Perfect use of Rhythm of the Night
Half Man was incredible. Richard Gadd's specific viewpoint of identity and masculinity is deeply personal yet always attainable even in the bleakest of stories. Such a great writer
BACKROOMS
Parsons is a pro delivering a terrifying deconstruction of those refusing to take accountability. Claustrophobic & nerve biting. Fascinating to watch how this expands lore rather than recreate. Renate Reinsve soars elevating a somber script of self reflection & torment
STOP! THAT! TRAIN!
A goofy thrill jam packed with a dumb joke per second. Finally a movie that understands "camp." For every failed laugh there's 3 more to pick it up. Gloriously gay & devoted to its drag roots. Bright, silly & sweet. Jujubee & Ginger Minj the Oscars are yours!
