@filmjunk We're psyched for this one. How about you, FJ?

Niki has extraordinary hearing and perfect pitch, making him a great piano tuner. Useful. But it turns out that he can also crack safes, which might be a problem. My review of the new thriller "Tuner"... https://t.co/IFWkHvS8tV #film #movies

@THR A favorite here at @FilmBuzz. If you're going to watch "War of the Worlds", though, why not sidetrack to the @Svengoolie showing? All the fun of a Martian invasion, interesting trivia, and silly skits. A win:win.

@screenrant To give credit where it's due, it's possible that "Speed Racer" introduced us to Uncanny Valley before anyone else. Which doesn't make it watchable, even in 2026.

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

@slashfilm False logic, because superhero movies can be a dominant force AND other films can succeed too. It's not an either/or, but an "and". Having said that, yeah, <yawn> superhero movies. ZZzz....

The dark, intense new film “The Wizard of the Kremlin” explores the creation of the Vladimir Putin mythos in a tough, cynical political drama. It's very good. Here's my review… https://t.co/joGBtSGAND #film #movies #russia #history

Film break! A sword-and-sandals film retelling the story of the 7th-century Battle of Dhi Qar, "Desert Warrior" yearns to be epic, but is overrun with clichés. Here's my candid, detailed review: https://t.co/efTbN3xvmW #film #movies #DesertWarrior

A group of young hackers band together to steal crypto from "rich jerks", things go surprisingly well. For a little while, at least. "LifeHack" is a compelling "screenlife" cinematic thriller that's perfect for Gen Z. My review: https://t.co/5ZQP6m8vcY #film #movies #hackers

A plane full of one-dimensional characters crashes into the ocean, just to meet a school of weirdly smart and bloodthirsty sharks in the B-movie action film "Deep Water". Here's my toothy review: https://t.co/JaNXxe3Z5j #film #movies #sharks

@HorrorCalendar We're psyched about this one, and it's in the watch queue for the next 72 hours! Looking forward to reading people's reactions to the first eps too.

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

@THR Nah, it's a passing moment. Bateman might be right for the next 12-18 months, but just as CG sneaks into films in unexpected - and invisible - ways, so has AI already begun to streamline production, improve dialogue, plan vf/x shots, and generate unique audio content...

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

@IndieWire We would suggest that "indie" inherently means that it's going to be a challenge to compete with "big box" studios and blockbusters with $100mil+ marketing budgets. This is nothing new, IW, but part of what makes the indie space interesting...

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

@ATRightMovies We'd see "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension", hands down! "The deuce you say!"

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

@YahooEnt You should properly frame this as "a few cranky critics who say..." because games, like everything else, travel from culture to culture, gaining fans along the way. Do Indian critics complain that chess in films like Searching for Bobby Fisher has been appropriated too?

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

We would argue that *anything* with Idris Elba deserves a watch. #unabashedFans

[/Film @slashfilm]

A lot of folks probably haven’t seen this stylish Netflix revenge Western flick featuring big name stars like Idris Elba, and that's a real shame. https://t.co/qgv2DBKMQG

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

Talk about a tough path to the big screen, this one's going to be a case study in creative studio financing and missed opportunities. Still, we'll go see it!

[Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 @RottenTomatoes]

First trailer for Coyote vs. ACME, starring John Cena, Lana Condor, and Will Forte.

The Looney Tunes movie is in theaters on August 28.

A multinational team-building retreat turns nightmarish when they're stalked by a killer AI drone in the 2025 survival horror film "DRAGN". Here's my review of this surprisingly effective indie movie: https://t.co/SYqxqkodZ2 #film #movies #ai #drones

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

Film break! Two tough criminals and a disgraced marksman team up for an extraordinary heist in the French noir classic "Le Cercle Rouge". Here's my review of this must-watch essential crime film: https://t.co/JICYHVpbLv #film #movies #noir #cinema

[FilmBuzz @FilmBuzz]

It's 1932 Shanghai, and the Chinese rebels and gangs are working together to fight the Japanese occupiers in "Assassin", a violent, stylized historical action film that's worth a watch: https://t.co/A0t6uXYioD #film #movies

Happy Birthday to "The Matrix", which opened on this day back in 1999. I remember seeing it at a theater in Campbell, CA, where the music was cranked up so loud I had to cover my ears at times. Impactful! #film #movies #scifi #thematrix
