A proud SFCS, OFCS, Tomatometer-approved film critic obsessed with movies that make you go "youch!". Expect luke warm takes and misanthropic cinematic musings.
It is time. The biggest drop of the year. After watching 108 films and reviewing 67 of them, I am ready to share my official Top Ten Films of 2025. Strap in. https://t.co/8XUDFjdXKp
Steven Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day' is a surprisingly baffling sci-fi misfire that only occasionally recaptures the sense of awe that made him one of science fiction’s defining filmmakers. Disappointing. https://t.co/oDKl6JiIDw
“An intriguing descent into obsession… Beautiful and vaguely threatening, inviting and alienating” says @SSRdotcom on the Chilean film SUMMER WAR by Alicia Scherson in its world premiere at @Tribeca https://t.co/jQxhdvU4QH
You probably haven't even heard of 'Tuner' - a crime drama about a piano tuner who starts cracking safes - but you should seek this hidden gem out in theaters immediately. It's terrific.
In theaters today!

‘Backrooms’ feels like it already has a viral following before it’s even hit theaters. This unapologetically surreal, Lynchian nightmare-scape doesn’t care to spoon-feed audiences answers; unsettling tho likely to narratively alienate some viewers.

The Mandalorian and Grogu barely even qualifies as a movie. Bloated, cheap-looking, and entirely devoid of movie qualities like plot, character growth, decent dialogue, this sets a new low bar for the once beloved galaxy far far away. https://t.co/ib3LXc8hMC
You may have heard the hype building around ‘Obsession’…and you should believe every word of it. That rare scary-black comedy cautionary tale that executes both its horror and hilarity with surgical precision. I loved it.

'Is God Is' is a horrible movie name. But this stylish vengeance-fueled black comedy is more compelling than its terrible title suggests, though not without its flaws.
In theaters Friday. https://t.co/2OPGnbD4bj

The Seattle International Film Festival kicks off tonight. Here are the movies I've seen already and the list of those I'm trying to see: https://t.co/uh8euhLgSA
Sam Raimi's 'Send Help' crash lands on Hulu today. It's a callback to his early horror movies with a survival thriller bent with an excellent leading turn from the inimitable Rachel McAdams. Definitely worth your time. https://t.co/qymJmHyVuP
For me, 'Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour' was a painful experience. If you like concert films where the screaming, crying, off-key-singing fans are as much of a show as the main attraction, it may however be for you. Also, it's in 3D...

'Swapped' features the voice talent of Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple and despite some alluring animation, it's a pretty forgettable Netflix kids movie. Inoffensive but bland. https://t.co/rS5NuBNmhC
Prepare your pitchforks + come for my head because...this ain't it.
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2′ returns to high fashion glitterati with Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci for a sequel that trades the original’s sharp class anxiety for boardroom trading. https://t.co/27gd3A6wGP
Adam Scott gets trapped with a witch in the honeymoon suite in 'Hokum', an Irish folkloric horror movie from the director of 'Oddity'. Worth a watch for horror fans. https://t.co/A24Fnt4JkA
