IGN reader from way back here-- It's great to see you fellas on the mic together again (and on video!) to talk about the Ocarina of Time remake. The nostalgia power, wisdom, and courage cannot be contained.

First time experience—I almost got run over by a gang of twelvish year olds on E-bikes on today’s run. I thought South Park was being silly, but once again—satire is no longer as absurd as reality. Signed - mid-life man with no kids shaking fist at the sky

Here are my off the cuff thoughts on #Veritymovie. Thanks to the cast, I enjoyed my time, but I actually thought the whole film needed to be trashier. Get more reviews like this: thecinematropolis.com

#Digger is a bizarre role for Tom “Mr. Movies” Cruise. The cinematography & production design are impressive, and it has a few magic tricks up its sleeve. But when the takeaway is “art is futile,” what’s the point? Read more: www.thecinematropolis.com/digger-revie... @seattlecritics.bsky.social

Good thinking! I couldn't resist completing the Anne Hathaway 2026 Collection. The cast is super fun, but it's hardly enough to tempt anyone who is over the Hoover hype train.

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

#Verity: Granted, I’ve not seen a Colleen Hoover adaptation until now, but this was just passable. Michael Showalter doesn’t take the inherently pulpy material nearly far enough. Luckily the cast leans into the silliness for some laughable line deliveries. A surefire “made for Prime Video” classic.

#Digger: I'm genuinely torn. On one hand, it's technically impressive and striking in IMAX. Tom Cruise delivers his biggest performance in decades. I said "wow" a couple of times. On the other, Iñárritu's deeply felt cynicism is obnoxiously self-aware and painfully smug. I'm left feeling hollow.

#ForgottenIsland This is maximalist animated filmmaking that wears its millennial heart on every sleeve it can find. Its sweet heartfelt message about friendship is taken to the next level by exotic music video-style editing and the most visually vibrant artistic swings I’ve seen this year. See it!

Green Room is, low key, a favorite of mine from 2016. Super exciting to see it get a @seattlecritics.bsky.social 10th anniversary screening + Q&A w/director Jeremy Saulnier (hosted by @silverscreenriot.bsky.social) at @nwfilmforum.bsky.social on Oct. 14th @ 7PM. Snag a ticket while you still can!

My video review for #Primetime Robert Pattinson's next-level performance alone justifies the time and ticket price, and Lance Oppenheim's stylish direction is especially haunting. It's a bummer the script doesn't dig a little deeper. For more: www.thecinematropolis.com/primetime-is...

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#Primetime: Robert Pattinson is mesmerizing in this darkly funny, haunting roast of “gotcha” reality TV. Director Lance Oppenheim’s debut narrative feature is a striking showcase for his talents, but it feels like the script pulls punches. It never digs quite deep enough to say anything revelatory.

Here’s my initial review for #ResidentEvil I’m thrilled to report that Zach Cregger has cracked a promising approach to adapting video games. Adapt the gameplay experience, not the lore. In depth spoiler podcast discussion coming to The Cinematropolis next week. Subscribe here: tr.ee/wUXDDCF3sU

More to say in my upcoming reaction video (coming Thursday), but it’s safe to say you should get your spooky season started by seeing this with a packed audience. The crowd reactions were half the fun.

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

It could also be described as “Resident Evil: The Ride,” and I mean that as a compliment. It incorporates key video game series elements without strictly adhering to the canon. The best sequences recreate the anxious experience of not knowing what to do when everything is trying go kill you.

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Zach Cregger’s RESIDENT EVIL is a wild 95-minute joyride packed with playful jump scares and surprising comedy. It’s a fan crowdpleaser that never feels too derivative. All killer, no filler. Just a man on a mission with plenty of grotesque, video game-inspired zombie chaos along the way.

COYOTE VS ACME is a delightfully clever use of the Looney Tunes. Come for the slapstick, stay for the riffing on corporate law. There’s playful commentary about “legal” vs “ethical.” Very on brand for 2026. It’s no wonder Zaslav tried to kill it. Stick it to the man. See it in the theater.

Thrilled to be accepted into @seattlecritics.bsky.social! I moved from OKC to Seattle last year and have been grateful for how warmly the local film community has welcomed me. It’s been great getting to know critics and movie fans here. Excited to keep the conversations going through SFCS!

There's a genuinely great Spider-Man movie inside SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. Its emotional thesis about grief, isolation, and growing into adulthood is one of the MCU's most resonant. It's just buried beneath the plotting to justify unnecessary guest appearances. Giacchino's score is lowkey the MVP.

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

What’s most impressive about The Odyssey is not the incredible technical feats of filmmaking. It’s how the film recontextualizes the myth to say something profound about the current moment in human history. Check out our in depth podcast discussion: www.thecinematropolis.com/the-odyssey-...

Here are my initial thoughts on #TheOdysseyMovie. It's a surprisingly haunting and heartfelt cinematic masterclass about the cost of war and defying the natural order. Fimmaking at this caliber and scale is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The in-depth podcast review is coming next week!

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

#TheOdyssey: Chris Nolan delivers the definitive epic of the 2020s—real ships at sea, giants towering above men, ghastly armies back for a final word. It feels real, imaginative, and instantly iconic. A surprisingly haunting and heartfelt cinematic masterclass about the cost of defying the gods.

000

Caleb Masters @cmasterstalk.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

#EvilDeadBurn: Absolutely maniacal degrees of gore & violence. Similarly to Final Destination: Bloodlines, it expands the franchise by creatively leaning into lore. It plays with fan expectations with a wink right before gouging its own eyes out. It’s a fun time for the die hard horror hounds.
