With Resident Evil, Zach Cregger gives us the feeling of playing a video game while still delivering a compelling narrative, balancing game elements, horror, and plenty of humor—largely because Austin Abrams feels like the perfect protagonist for the story. #filmsky trashwire.com/2026/09/17/r...

Finally watched I Want Your Sex. One of the many weird generational divides between millennials and gen Z seems to be our views about sex scenes in cinema, so I guess it's not surprising that I enjoyed this horny little movie. trashwire.com/2026/09/05/i... #filmsky

Horror is a genre where filmmakers are still allowed to take creative risks, to try new ideas, to make a film that doesn’t have to aim for the broadest audience possible, which is how we get fun ideas like Buddy. trashwire.com/2026/08/28/b... #filmsky

70mm IMAX is a perk, not a requirement. It’s better to share the communal experience of getting immersed in a story with other folks in a theater than it is to get too hung up on format. A good movie is a good movie on any screen, so don’t worry if you can’t catch The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX

Venkatesh Maha's Rao Bahadur is one of those rare movies where the more you think about it, the more you like it. It lingers with you and crawls around in your mind, making you randomly reflect on specific scenes, shots, and lines of dialogue. #filmsky #desiwatch

Disclosure Day is certainly not a bad film—due in large part to Steven Spielberg delivering his unmatched filmmaking skills—it’s just that it’s a pretty good film when it should be an outstanding film. Full review: trashwire.com/2026/06/12/d...

Between this and the infamous Variety headline, it's weird how media outlets really are incapable of celebrating Sinners.
Slate post on Threads saying "Though it won a few big awards, Sinners ultimately set the record for the most losses in one night in Academy Awards history."
