In 1981, Alan Alda made a lovely film called The Four Seasons. 44 years later, not even a terrific cast and Tina Fey's otherworldly talent can save Netflix's humdrum adaptation screenspeck.com/2025/05/01/t...

‘The Four Seasons’ Fizzles in All Four Seasons (REVIEW)
Despite Tina Fey's many talents and a stellar cast, Netflix's adaptation of 'The Four Seasons' is a pale imitation of the original film.

I sadly come bearing bad news. I really wanted to Tina Fey’s ‘The Four Seasons’ but unfortunately it joins the line of unnecessary remakes. My review for @screenspeck.bsky.social : screenspeck.com/2025/05/01/t...

hello my dear friends. Sorry for sounding so weird but this app has one of the best writing communities. I was hoping if anyone knows of any free or through the library writing courses out there? or maybe some not so expensive ones?

I reviewed Justin Kurzel’s The Order for @screenspeck.bsky.social I’m a little rusty from not covering anything since May but I found myself unable to stop writing about this one. Tragically relevant. Here’s my review

I feel like if you’re going to make a reimagining of Murnau’s classic Nosferatu, this is how you do it. This is Robert Eggers at his most playful & fun. Sure, it’s a gothic horror but it’s also infused w/ so much whimsy I smiled a couple of times.

Mariana @spiceymemory.bsky.social · 07/12/2024
The Order is an unfortunately timely film. Justin Kurzel cuts down the middle w/ insane precision. Laying bare what used to lurk in the shadows of American “democracy.” I feel like Kurzel has been following this through line across his work. White, male rage and violence.

We didn’t understand you’re supposed to pay to send screeners to critics (an eblast quote to just one group was $13k… have to budget that next time). It’s widely available on the internet! We prefer Kanopy, you just need a library card and it’s free. U still have a library card… RIGHT?!

‘Wicked’ Defies Expectations Ostentatiously with Part I (REVIEW)
In essence, the film has the influential momentum of Avengers: Infinity War… but for musical theater nerds. It starts with the intrinsically recognizable overture of Stephen Schwartz's stage production. Instantly, it transports the viewer to a world of possibilities mixed with new and familiar sights.
