DIGGER is a fascinating one for me. Simultaneously an effective socio-political satire in one moment, way less so in the very next, but there is an ambition to Iñárritu's direction I respect, backed by a very eccentric Tom Cruise. More thoughts below.

Praise be, they finally made a good RESIDENT EVIL movie! Zach Cregger takes the world of the games and gives it his own spin, resulting in a gnarly, funny and relentless time led by a terrific Austin Abrams. More thoughts below!

Truly head over heels for YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER, a fantastic thriller elevated by its introspective look at faith, loss and fatherhood, with incredible performances led by a stellar Mahershala Ali. One of 2026's best. More thoughts below!

I genuinely think Tim Curry as Frank-N-Furter in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is among the greatest performances ever, and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that. No one else could play a character like him. A sublime actor in everything. He was one of a kind. Rest in peace.

I've seen a lot of stupid discourses start over recent movies, but Kane Parsons and Curry Barker not actually being the directors for BACKROOMS or OBSESSION cause they're young or whatever has to be without a doubt the stupidest one. People really need to go outside again, I'm serious.

BACKROOMS: after 22 shorts and now one feature film, I've learned one thing: if I ever come across a large room with bare walls, some bits of furniture and bright yellow fluorescent lighting, I'm just gonna leave immediately.

I find the discourse around YouTubers becoming filmmakers lazy. Look past all your stigmas around it, and you'll find a smorgasbord of really imaginative and unique works from a slew of great creators, and it's great to watch them show that on a bigger scale now. Keep 'em coming.
