In August I spoke with Rick Baker about his career after he received a lifetime achievement award at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland! This was a real full circle moment for me. One of the first interviews I ever did when I was green was with Baker at TCMFF in 2012.

31 movies that properly frightened me! Yay spooky season! 1. Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Pulse (Kairo). Absolutely terrifying. It’s messier than Cure but this just scares the crap out of me. Such dread.

If you’re wondering “how much effort did Brad Dourif give his role as a hot convict in the music video for Toto’s Stranger in Town in 1984?” The answer is 110%. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RSel...

Watched Bill Duke’s Hoodlum yesterday and very much enjoyed. Laurence Fishburne is superb as Bumpy Johnson, backed by an awesome supporting cast (Chi McBride, Loretta Devine, Cicely Tyson, Clarence Williams III, Queen Latifah). Tim Roth goes BIG, Andy Garcia is hilarious. Big Untouchables vibes.

I am obsessed with Hope. A delirious, hilarious, gripping batshit epic with incredible cinematography and action, it has so many ideas it can’t sensibly fit them all into a 2.5 hour running time that flies by. I didn’t want it to end. Big swing brilliance that’s not afraid to fall on its face.

See THE INNOCENTS on a big screen! I must have watched it on a small one a dozen times before I finally caught it at the Cinematek in Brussels, with an audience. It was a whole new experience. Freddie Francis's widescreen cinematography! Everyone gasping in unison! Book your ticket now, if you can.

3 Screenshots from the movie "Ring" (1998): First, a woman stands on the deck of a boat staring out at the ocean with Japanese text overlaid reading “9月20日 月曜日” (September 20th, Monday). Second, a woman shines a flashlight onto a sealed stone well while a man beside her pushes against it in a dark, confined space. Third, in a black-and-white shot, a man in glasses and a suit examines an old stone well in the middle of a forest.

Had an absolute blast with Resident Evil. Giggled for 90 minutes in the best way. Lovely gooey surprises and, as a terrible gamer, it spoke to me. Were people really upset that it wasn’t about freaking Leon? A panicking dingus who’s bad at guns is the perfect lead for this, loads of fun.

I don't want to be conspiracy minded but there's been such a push to slip something through, normalize it in any way possible, and having old guard respected directors shilling for it seems to be their best method. cheaper than paying people to do those shots? of course, and that's the point

If you’re like me and say “ooh!” to the idea of a French horror movie with a dash of social commentary set in the mid-20th C about a team of miners who are told to dig dangerously deep by a rich dingus and find an ancient practical effects monster, then you may, like me, enjoy The Deep Dark.
