Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Excited to have this @cipictures.bsky.social release in my hands--TIKI TIKI has been on my watchlist for 25 years(!). Jason P & I get into the film's absolutely wild production history on the disc commentary. A singular gem! 051

Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 14/11/2025I think that's fine too-- I have abandoned reviews in the past because there wasn't something "new" to say. Harder to do when someone's paying you for a commentary, but a lot of it (for me!) is simply digging until you find that hook that can help others see a film in a different/unexpected way. 010
Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 14/11/2025It helps that I'm usually dealing with lesser known films though--this is not so easy with films that have been written about ad nauseum, unless you are somehow able to come up with a new context that hasn't been considered before. Here's another good example: letterboxd.com/paulcorupe/f...letterboxd.comA ★★★ review of Three Card Monte (1978)"She creeps and she crawls like a snake in the grass / Sometimes she moves slow, sometimes she moves fast." Saskatchewan-born actor Rick Gabourie wrote and starred in this likeable downbeat drama made... 110
Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 14/11/2025... that people may not be aware of. eg - The Christmas Martian is a 70s Quebec kids film, but was also the start of the producer's personal (but doomed) vision to create giant child-focused art centres across the world to foster creativity. You would not get that from just watching the film. 210
Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Obviously good film writing must go beyond "should you see it" but today I think there is too much criticism written from the reviewer's personal perspective, which may be cathartic for an author but isn't always relatable. That's why I try to uncover that interesting context even on "bad" films... 210
Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Interesting - IMO, film writing should open up a film to be appreciated in new ways. In my commentaries, I research newspapers/magazine coverage at the time to broaden the context of why and how these films were made. What made the film significant at that time & what makes it worth your time today? 110

Paul Corupe @paulcorupe.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Here's two: Kenny & Company (1976) & The Hollywood Knights (1980) - I can vouch for the first as worthwhile but haven't seen the second yet 000

I'm one of the smaller accounts on here and I need you to let everyone know that they can watch Psycho Pike on YouTube. Perhaps a tweak of the algorithm is in order.
