I very much dug EVIL DEAD BURN. Some moments were stunning visually... and of course, the splatter was exquisitely over-the-top (like the previous stand-alone entries). This has to be the most bonkers horror franchise ever, outside of PHANTASM.

Very happy that HARKER, my latest Audible Original with James Patterson, drops today! Being a Dracul nerd, the chance to play around in Bram Stoker's sandbox (which is actually full of Transylvanian soil, natch) was a dream. I hope you'll give it a listen!

Caught SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY this afternoon and absolutely loved it. The movie had everything I adore about Spidey comics. Action! Humor! Heart! Team-Ups! But there was one personal thing that felt like a beautiful coincidence...

Read and very much dug Frank Miller’s PUSH THE WALL, which was equal parts memoir and craft talk. Highly recommended for screenwriters, comic book writers and artists, directors… honestly, anyone interested in storytelling.

Back in 2012, I took the "Retreat To Goodisville" tour of David's Philadelphia haunts, including his grave. Philly writer, @swierczy.bsky.social hosted that tour along with few others. Here's a recap to watch after you watch Dark Passage. #TCMParty #NoirAlley www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5x1...

My daughter Evie would have turned 23 today. In some alternate universe, she’s telling me all about her recent adventures over a big basket of crab fries. I miss her so much.

Just left a matinee screening of OBSESSION, and it is so much fucked-up fun. Clever, funny, gory, and at times, super cringey-tense. Bring a date! Or... maybe not.

How many mystery writers have portrayed their own series hero in a photo spread for a national magazine? Leslie Charteris (as The Saint) might be the only one!

Slow-cooking a corned beef brisket today. Just added baby carrots, baby red potatoes and chunks of actual baby to the crock pot

No Kings 3.0! I’ll be there with my Pasadena neighbors. (Maybe King Friday XIII will tag along for the march.)

Only in our reality could a film like NUREMBERG seem like the feel-good movie of the year. Overstuffed fascist psychopaths being forced to answer for their crimes? Golly, what a fantasyland!

Thinking about my Grandpop Lou, who would have turned 100 today. Once I asked if he’d heard of a particular South Philly gangster. “Heard of him?” Lou said, without missing a beat. “Guy owes me five bucks!” I miss him so much.

In BILLON-DOLLAR RANSOM by James Patterson and @swierczy.bsky.social, there’s a reference to an old game I haven’t played since I was a kid so I had to track the retro version down. Fingers crossed it’s as fun as I remember.

So excited to see @swierczy.bsky.social will be doing a @watchwithjen.bsky.social episode on Elmore Leonard Crime Flicks... After westerns and then crime, I think maybe an Elmore Leonard TV movies episode is in order

It was great to see the amazing Leigh Brackett highlighted at the The Academy Museum’s “Screenwriting Takes on L.A. Noir” mini-exhibit yesterday. Brackett was a science fiction and noir master, as well as the screenwriter of THE BIG SLEEP and THE LONG GOOBYE (and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK).
