Longlegs is the best serial killer horror film since The Silence of the Lambs. Oz Perkins infuses dread/terror into every single frame. Utterly terrifying and unsettling, Maika Monroe is hypnotic, while Nicolas Cage will haunt your nightmares. Best of 2024 so far. @LonglegsFilm

Inside Out 2 is one of Pixar’s best. The message that we have to love every bit of ourselves will resonate with every audience member. I was brought to tears, which did not happen with the first one. It’s a beautiful movie, with a big beating heart. @Pixar #InsideOut2

#TheAdamProject is a tremendously fun throwback to 80’s sci-fi adventures, with a sneaky emotional element. I did not expect to cry. Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo are great in a Shaw Levy film that would make Spielberg proud. @ShawnLevyDirect @VancityReynolds @MarkRuffalo

Oppenheimer is Christopher Nolan’s protest film, taking three hours to warn not just about how the bomb will doom us, but how it ruined a good man. Cillian Murphy’s best showcase. Robert Downey Jr. is aces, while Emily Blunt has a killer scene. @OppenheimerFilm #Oppenheimer

Barbie might be my favorite film of the year so far. Ryan Gosling deserves the Oscar for an all-timer of a comedic supporting turn, while Margot Robbie brings out the humanity in the doll. Greta Gerwig imbues this with impeccable social commentary. @Barbie #Barbie #BarbieMovie

Scream is easily the best sequel and stands tall with the original. Brutally violent but the funniest of the lot, it does the most with the premise since the OG. Plus, what it ultimately is poking fun at this time is a riot. I loved it. #ScreamMovie #Scream @ScreamMovies

I spoke to Sammy Burch about May December today, and wouldn’t you know it, Coyote vs Acme came up, too. She definitely has noticed the outpouring of anger on the internet about this, so for what that’s worth, everyone isn’t just shouting into the void.

Embargo up on #HouseofGucci : I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. The first hour or so is a blast. It does go a bit downhill after that, but this is basically well done trash. Lady Gaga and Al Pacino were the most fun, with the soundtrack a @HouseOfGucciMov highlight as well.

The Tender Bar is George Clooney’s most heartwarming film and also one of his best. Ben Affleck deserves to win Best Supporting Actor for this vibrant and vivid portrait of the uncle every kid wants to have. It’s a smaller movie, but leaves a big smile on your face. Loved it.

#spiralfromthebookofsaw is more than just an excellent horror movie, it may well be the best installment of the franchise yet. Intense in all the right ways, this version opts for for character building, tension, and even humor over just gore (though it doesn’t slouch there)

Can confirm that Kristen Stewart is on the minds of Academy members. Now, there’s a long way to go, but even if the film itself proves a hard sell, she should still be very much in play for a nomination. Then, the win becomes a possibility. #KristenStewart #Spencer

So, #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is as close as Marvel has gotten to a Star Wars movie, with little bits of a Rick and Morty feel. Not all of it works, but the hints of what’s to come with Kang have me mostly intrigued. Jonathan Majors is solid, with Kathryn Newton best in show.

Update: Kenneth Branagh and Jamie Dornan were both lovely, with both interviews full of laughter. Amusingly, my dog had to chime in while I was talking to Jamie (with his predictions, I’m assuming), while Ken’s dog had things to say during our chat!

Also tomorrow, I’m talking again with Jamie Dornan. We had a blast chatting about Belfast last time around, so this time, I expect nothing less as #JamieDornan and I discuss The Tourist. Should be fun…

Kristen Stewart owns the screen in Personal Shopper. It's a ghost story that likely won't satisfy most, but I found it mostly compelling.

Thanks to @JamesGunn for a great chat about @DCpeacemaker just now. Loved talking about #Peacemaker and even got to slip in a little love for PG Porn! Look for the interview soon at @AwardsRadar

For The @AwardsCircuit I chastise voters for not more heavily considering #KristenStewart in Best Actress for her turn in #Seberg . Give it a read:

Fingernails is the surprise of Telluride for me. An unexpected delight, it’s funny, weird, and deeply romantic. Riz Ahmed and Jessie Buckley are excellent. #Fingernails #TellurideFilmFestival #Telluride

The Mauritanian is a real surprise, and may be poised to make a dent in Oscar season. Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch, and @shailenewoodley are quite good. A moving legal drama/human rights story, it’s something to watch out for! #TheMauritanian @TheMauritanian

About to interview Kenneth Branagh, followed by Jamie Dornan. Should be a good time, talking about one of my favorite films of 2021 in Belfast! #Belfast #belfastmovie @BelfastMovie #kennethbranagh #JamieDornan

A very special lunch/chat between #CriticsChoice Association members and some of the #MarriageStory folk. A lovely time with #AlanAlda , #NoahBaumbach , #LauraDern , and #AdamDriver . I’ve spoken to all four, some multiple times, and they’re all very sweet @MarriageStory @netflix

Babylon is a big and unwieldy blast. Messy in mostly fun ways, it’s the sort of wild experience we don’t often see. Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt are excellent, Diego Calva is a breakthrough, and the ensemble supporting players are top notch. I largely loved it. @babylonmovie

#TheBatman finally shows us The World’s Greatest Detective. It’s a serial killer mystery, and #TheBatmanMovie is better for it. Robert Pattinson is an imposing Batman, while Paul Dano is unsettling as Riddler. It’s long, but @TheBatman first act is the best hour of 2022 so far.

Christopher Nolan wins the DGA. Best Director, barring an upset of massive proportions, is his. It’ll be a coronation at Oscar, but for the vast majority of folks, it won’t feel boring in the slightest. #DGAAwards #DGA #ChristopherNolan #Oppenheimer

The Lost City of Z is definitely his most ambitious film yet. Closer to The Immigrant than Two Lovers, it's just luscious to look at. #NYFF

I just watched a movie I'll never forget. Not just one of 2020's best, but an instant classic. Super embargoed, so can't say more, but can't begin to explain how much I want to shout from the rooftops about it. More later (and I'm not the only one who feels this way), but...wow.
