INTERSTELLAR is back in theaters, so of course I wrote about it. www.vulture.com/article/inte...

Kick off Halloweek with the latest Movie Racket about the Master of Suspense himself. Film critic @bilgeebiri.bsky.social and Michael chat about Hitchcock and their favorite cinematic moments of suspense vs. surprise 🎬

Awful, awful news. What an amazing talent. This is so incredibly sad.

Leaving this beautiful, moving photo by Antonello Veneri here as a brief balm. Taken this morning in Salvador, one of the cities most affected by voter suppression, and showing the pure elation of Lula voters coming out of the polling station after exercising their democratic right.

watching the best halloween movie for family movie night (& upcoming podcast with @bilgeebiri.bsky.social)

Obama is still the most gifted political communicator of my lifetime and it isn’t particularly close

To folks who follow me on Bluesky & appreciate the journalism I do. Can you please read the EPA story and post on social media platforms if you are so moved. This kind of work is important. But it only matters if people read it and engage with it. Here's the link. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Once Upon a Time in Harlem is out in theatres, and it’s a great film that people should seek out but also, if you haven’t watched William Greaves’s Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, you should do so immediately one of the best works of 20th century art

Opening today in theaters: ONE IN A MILLION, an exceptional documentary that premiered at Sundance earlier this year, about the yearslong journey of a family of Syrian refugees across Europe. Epic in the truest sense of the word. www.vulture.com/article/one-...

Lee Chang-dong's POSSIBLE LOVE, in theaters now, is one of the best films of the year, and you should see it. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

The only person who is allowed to have a car as his best friend is David Hasselhoff in Knight Rider

A great actor but beyond that, as this wonderful interview illustrates, a man who knew how to appreciate all that life offers.

RIP Tom Skerritt. Most memorable role of his for me, unfortunately, was his very effective portrayal as the scientist and senior NSF administrator who swoops in at the 11th hour to steal both credit for the discovery of alien life, and the opportunity to make first contact, from Jodie Foster

RIP Tom Skerritt. A great actor who had an uncanny ability to show up in the most iconic movies, even if it was with the briefest part. I did a wide-ranging talk with him a few years ago that's still one of my favorite interviews [Gift link]: www.vulture.com/2021/10/tom-...

My buddy @bilgeebiri.bsky.social says my Fjord review is best he has read about the film. It opens wide this weekend, including in DC, so I hope you see it and maybe read what I have to say about it afterward.

Struggling to engage with the concept of “father and son Republican operatives Timmy and Tommy Teepell.” Come on man can even one thing be like 5% less stupid

Suddenly needing to juggle a class schedule sent me scrambling for a good essay on Kane. Yes, I know there are many, but stumbled across the one that @bilgeebiri.bsky.social wrote for the @criterion.bsky.social SE. Outstanding, recommended (and assigned): www.criterion.com/current/post...

We love that Harrison Ford, and we particularly love that Harrison Ford in that BLADE RUNNER.

“Storm” was a music video AI couldn't fake. Then came a tool that allowed people to copy it into infinity. It’s a glimpse of a future in which people can lift an artist’s style, or even their entire personality, as easily as they once downloaded mp3s.

On the Film Comment podcast, Critics Bilge Ebiri (@bilgeebiri.bsky.social) and Molly Haskell joined Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girgayi for a spirited wrap-up analysis of the highlights and lowlights from this year’s New York Film Festival lineup.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

So many fewer people would have gone out of their way to see this movie had there not been a multi-pronged effort by oligarchs to shut it down.

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

offensive image, Tony Stark is an industrialist who would NOT be accepted by the Na’vi

Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS. Still an outrage. Still awesome. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

You better believe I interviewed Romain Gavras. We talked about SACRIFICE, Chris Evans, ATHENA, music videos, the ending of ATHENA, his childhood, the legacy of ATHENA, his relationship with Chris Marker, and the criticisms of ATHENA... Here's a gift link. www.vulture.com/article/roma...

Everybody go see ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM please. www.vulture.com/article/once...

Marjorie Taylor Greene comes out with a statement opposing the raid on Ilhan Omar before Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party

as you read the insane campaign fundraising numbers dropping today please recall that currently Elon Musk is personally responsible for about 1 in every 20 dollars spent on behalf of Republicans nationwide in 2026; I wouldn’t be surprised if when the dust settles that number is as high as 1 in 10

Chris Evans is a funny actor, but the movies he is in don’t always take advantage of this fact. Now, with Romain Gavras’s strange and spectacular ‘Sacrifice,’ co-starring Anya Taylor-Joy, the actor gets one of his best roles in years.

SACRIFICE premiered at TIFF last year and is only now seeing the light of day, via Netflix. I think it’s pretty great, not the least because Chris Evans is hilarious in it. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

Venice 2026 #2: Print the Legend On the Film Comment podcast @bilgeebiri.bsky.social and @guylodge.bsky.social Lodge share their reactions to Danny Boyle’s "Ink", Lee Chang-dong’s "Possible Love," and Robert Greene’s "Too Much Sugar"

#Podcast: #WatchWithJen - S7: E28 - Tom & Nicole with Phillip Iscove @pmiscove.bsky.social joined me for this thoughtfully incisive, laugh-filled, '90s-kid-nostalgic episode devoted to the three film pairings of formerly married superstars Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman. www.patreon.com/FilmIntuitio...

was just warned by the young whippersnapper at the craft beer store that the peach sour i’d selected was “not a beginner beer,” which is a level of lightly sexist beer snobbery I haven’t encountered since Brooklyn in the late 2000s

You’ve already seen the meme of Jessica Chastain creepily contorted under a kitchen table from the ‘Other Mommy’ trailers earlier this year. Now, the movie itself is here, and … that’s pretty much the only decent scare in the movie.

When locals learned of AMC Kips Bay’s closure, they were outraged by the encroachment of yet another medical office — and called on their elected officials to save the theater. “They’re going to keep creeping into Kips Bay, and it’s going to be just a boring place to live,” says Jack Greenberg.

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

Maya Annik Bedward’s elegant and politically potent documentary, ‘Black Zombie,’ recontextualizes one of modern horror’s most frequently used monsters.

"We've got Other Mommy right where we want her" is an actual line in the movie OTHER MOMMY. www.vulture.com/article/othe...
