Movie Review: ‘Project Hail Mary’ Directed with real vision by Lord and Miller, ‘Project Hail Mary’ puts a terrific Ryan Gosling in a sci-fi spectacle that completes the mission in style.

The new horror movie #Undertone has some unnerving moments and a final 20 minutes that's genuinely hair-raising, but even director Ian Tuason's expert use of sound, shadow, and space can't hide the thinness of the story. It feels like a terrifying short stretched to feature length.

Movie Review: ‘The Bride!’ Director Maggie Gyllenhaal reinvents a classic monster story in ‘The Bride!’ but sewing together different genres like body parts doesn’t always work.

Director Maggie Gyllenhaal reinvents a classic monster story in THE BRIDE, but sewing together different genres like body parts doesn’t always work, even with Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale as the lead monsters. My review at @moviefone.bsky.social: www.moviefone.com/news/movie-r...

How Trump Decided to Go to War

So just like Putin, Netanyahu pushed the right buttons and sent this imbecile down the path to war. Trump didn't "decide" anything. Fuck Netanyahu -- he's a war criminal who has become everything his people once struggled against. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

How can the @nytimes run this like it's normal business?

"After just a few minutes, Trump has moved on from his war in Iran to the curtains he’s picked out for the White House and his new ballroom. 'I picked those drapes in my first term,' he says. 'I always liked gold.'"

Isn't this supposed to be a press conference about the WAR he's just started? And he's talking about his ballroom?

We are in the hands of a complete lunatic.

Opinion | Trump’s Attack on Iran Is Reckless

With the courts, the polls, the Epstein evidence, and most Americans against him, Trump will use this as an excuse to shut down dissent and speech, shred the Constitution and possibly cancel the midterms. That's the goal here, with "regime change" as the smokescreen. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/o...

Live Updates: U.S. and Israel Strike Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of Government

Movie Review: ‘Scream 7’ Despite the return of Neve Campbell, the tired, pointless ‘Scream 7’ shows a franchise that’s running on fumes and has become what it once critiqued.

Netflix Backs Out of Warner Bros. Bidding, Paramount Set to Win It's a stunning twist.

And that's the ballgame, folks. Trump will now gain control of CNN in addition to CBS News through his lackeys the Ellisons and Bari Weiss. Half our major news media will now be regime-controlled. I hope David fucking Zaslav is proud of himself. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

10 Years, A Cult Director Kickstarted Their Career With A Terrifying Folk Horror Robert Eggers started his career and restarted a horror subgenre.

For Inverse, I wrote about the legacy of THE WITCH on its 10th anniversary, how it launched not just the careers of Robert Eggers and Anya Taylor-Joy but a revival of interest in folk horror, and why it remains a subversive comment on the horror genre itself: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

James Cameron Sounds Alarm Over Netflix-Warner Bros. Deal, Backs Paramount The director's chief concern is the proposed merger's impact on movie theaters, which depend on money from tentpoles that he claims may see shorter theatrical releases or be sent directly to streaming...

Does #JamesCameron care that Paramount buying WBD will put two major news organizations directly in the hands of Trump henchmen? Isn't that a little more fucking important than how many days AVATAR 6 is in theaters? www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Robert Duvall, All-Purpose Actor With Few Peers, Dies at 95 The seven-time Oscar nominee, a winner for 'Tender Mercies,' also was memorable in 'The Godfather,' 'Apocalypse Now,' 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Lonesome Dove.'

I don't have time to write much today, but all I can say is that Robert Duvall was a giant. He lived a good, long life and blessed us with some of the greatest, most iconic performances to ever grace a screen. RIP to a legend. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Movie Review: ‘Wuthering Heights’ Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi steam up the screen in Emerald Fennell’s loose, lusciously perverse adaptation of Emily Brontë’s ‘Wuthering Heights.’

Emerald Fennell's WUTHERING HEIGHTS is an epic romantic melodrama. Visually gorgeous and topped by sizzling work from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, this is classic old-school Hollywood filmmaking with a few perverse twists. My review at @moviefone.bsky.social: www.moviefone.com/news/movie-r...

US moves to deport 5-year-old detained in Minnesota By Jasper Ward WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Friday it is seeking to deport a 5-year-old Ecuadorean boy who was detained in Minnesota last month.

There is no bottom to the evil of Donald Trump and his vicious followers.

All the right wing assholes calling out Chris Nolan for casting Lupita Nyong'o -- one of the most beautiful women in the world -- as the fictional character Helen of Troy clearly don't have a real good idea of how Jesus looked in real life.

Trump Had Unusual Call With F.B.I. Agents After Election Center Search

This is an absolute 4-alarm fire for the midterms. Blatant illegal meddling by Trump and Gabbard to make their corrupt "fraud" case and sabotage the 2026 midterms. Email your senators and representatives and demand action -- I just did. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Movie Review: ‘Send Help’ Sam Raimi’s bloody, darkly comic thriller ‘Send Help’ pits Rachel McAdams against her boss, Dylan O’Brien, as they try to survive on a deserted island.

SEND HELP is Sam Raimi's best movie in years. Suspenseful, gory, darkly funny and with a solid moral center, it's a funhouse combination of CAST AWAY, MISERY, and TRIANGLE OF SADNESS. Rachel McAdams is sensational. My review at @moviefone.bsky.social: www.moviefone.com/news/movie-r... #SendHelpMovie

Movie Review: ‘H Is For Hawk’ Based on a true story, the eloquent ‘H Is For Hawk’ finds a shattered woman dealing with grief through an unexpected relationship with nature itself.

ust to break up the stream of doom and chaos, here's my review at @moviefone.bsky.social of the moving H IS FOR HAWK, based on the memoir by Helen Macdonald, in which a Cambridge lecturer comes to terms with devastating grief by training an "untrainable" Goshawk: www.moviefone.com/news/movie-r...
