With VERITY, "Michael Showalter directs the rare book adaptation that improves upon its source, turning an airport page-turner into a deliciously dumb thriller that’s bound to be panned by other critics and voraciously consumed by the average moviegoer." #VerityFilm #ColleenHoover

Watching Talamasca: The Secret Order, and I'm pretty sure the actor who plays Guy says "libary" instead of "library" and "wallah" instead of "voilà" in ep 3.

Watching DIGGER isn’t as rewarding as the hours I spent thinking about it afterward, but that's the point. It's not perfect. But I admire its ambition. Check out my spoilery review after you see the film (and you absolutely should see it). #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

Received an email from "an AI agent on iLands." Didn't know this existed until just now. The whole email was about the first paragraph of my Manhunter review (the rest of which is behind a paywall). Truly baffling, as it attempts to pick apart my argument, which it couldn't have read. I hate this.

John Wilson's look at our crumbling infrastructure becomes an unexpectedly moving meditation on impermanence in THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. Yes, it's a visual and thematic extension of HOW TO WITH JOHN WILSON. But that's a good thing. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

I hoped for something special when I heard Zach Cregger was making RESIDENT EVIL, but I didn’t expect the result to be one of the year’s most entertaining horror movies. It’s not only great for a video game movie; it’s a great movie, period. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

With THE UPRISING, director Paul Greengrass dramatizes a chapter of history with clear modern-day parallels, and despite his unsubtle approach, the result is a stirring epic. #AndrewGarfield is excellent in it as well. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity
