T&T #MiniMovieReview VERITY is a "slow non-burn". It keeps promising something juicy around the corner, but when we finally get there, the payoff feels more like a shrug than a shock... More letterboxd.com/tinseltine/f... #verityfilm @amazonmgmstudios.bsky.social #filmsky

FORGOTTEN ISLAND - chemistry, friction, trust, and an emotional reason for why they need each other. THE CHRISTOPHERS - Falls short, the execution never quite jells. YOU HAD TO BE THERE - Fascinating and what a coincidence! SENSE AND SENSIBILITY - A sturdy, bucolic production. #lastfourwatched

The @nytimes.com 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century seems pretty accurate, but Gilmore Girls ranked at #99, I think at least #72. Game of Thrones should be #3 and I think The Magicians should have made the list! tinyurl.com/NYT100TV #TVsky #100Best

T&T #MiniMovieReview PRIMETIME dir. Lance Oppenheim. The gritty, washed out production design, strange angles, extreme close-ups, shifting formats, lighting, saturated colors and increasingly manic editing create a reality that feels just slightly warped... letterboxd.com/tinseltine/f... #filmsky

T&T #MiniMovieReview HA-CHAN, SHAKE YOUR BOOTY! Novel, odd and occasionally very sweet. Starring Rinko Kikuchi as a ballroom dancing widow. Director Josef Kubota Wladyka describes the film as an homage to the spirit of his mother rather than a biography... letterboxd.com/tinseltine/f... #filmsky

My ★★★ review of PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 (2026) - The plot hangs together better, maybe a bit long, but the tonal shifts aren't quite as jarring. Perhaps some of the sisterly moments between Sally and Gilly feel a little forced... letterboxd.com/tinseltine/f... #filmsky @letterboxd.social #Popsky

PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998) just watched @HBO for the 1st time🧙🏾‍♀️ Prepping for Practical Magic 2 out 9/11.

I love Kara's (Milly Alcock) perpetually disheveled look and her rough-around-the-edges, almost dude-ish demeanor. She's not polished or eager to be anyone's symbol of hope, and that's an interesting contrast to Superman... but where "Supergirl" stumbles ... letterboxd.com/tinseltine/f... #filmsky
