Get Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire to host the Oscars. Boom. Everyone tunes in. Ratings through the roof. Get Cumberbatch to open up some portals to let them into the building too.

Dune is officially a phenomenon. I expect repeat viewings and word of mouth to carry this far past what expectations originally were when it’s all said and done. People are craving this type of experience in the cinema, and Dune delivers in spades. Thank you Denis.
‘FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA’ has been removed from -880 theaters already after only 2 weeks of release in the US.
The film earned only $4.2M domestically this weekend, leaving the Top 5.
Are we just ignoring Justine Triet getting a nomination here? Some people wanted Greta in for director, fine… But Justine delivered an excellent final product that ONLY works because of her writing and direction. Her nomination should be celebrated and talked about more.
The directors branch has long been among the Academy’s oldest and most male (it’s currently 75 percent male), which could have been a contributing factor regarding the omission of
#Barbie

#AcrossTheSpiderVerse
is an absolute triumph. Miles and Gwen are INCREDIBLE characters, and this film is a testament to how powerful animation can be… The visuals seamlessly weave with the story to create a beautiful experience. THIS is how you make a comic book movie. Stunned.
My vote for “performance that deserves more love” in Oppenheimer is Jason Clarke as Roger Robb… Clarke dominates his screen-time in the final 30 minutes of the film. Yes, Damon and Downey are spectacular, but Clarke deserves more love! Also, can’t forget Alden Ehrenreich.
#Lightyear
does everything a Buzz Lightyear film needs to do. The visuals are excellent, the core characters are likable, and Evans is a great choice. There are more than a few moments that will have fans cheering, and “Sox the cat” steals the show… Hilarious character.
This may just be one of the best years EVER when it comes to lead acting front-runners. Any combination of these four could win the Oscar, and all of them are deserving.
Season 1 of
#TheMandalorian
ends on a MASSIVE high note. There are quite a few reveals that will have fans talking. Anticipation for Season Two could not be higher. Also, Taika Waititi’s direction worked so well. Let’s give this man more Star Wars projects. This show ROCKS.
“If someone offered you $1,000,000 to watch the same movie for 24 hours straight, could you do it, and what movie do you choose?”
I’m already doing this for free, so if anyone wants to pay me for it…
Never has a movie transported me to another planet like
#DunePart2
. It is as immersive of an experience as I have ever had in the theater. I hope everyone gets an opportunity to see this on the biggest screen possible. There is truly nothing else like it.
Rewatched Oppenheimer and AIR today… My conclusion is that Matt Damon having a phenomenal year, and there should be some awards love in there somewhere. He lights up every single scene in both films.

Still thinking about
#NoWayHome
I can’t get over how good Willem Dafoe is in this movie. He delivers a performance that even further confirms how perfect he is for the character of Green Goblin… Absolutely PERFECT. A top-notch villain.
I thought about
#DunePartTwo
for a week straight until I saw it for a second time tonight… Now I’m worried this is all I will be able to think about for the remainder of 2024… I can’t focus on anything else rn. I can only Dune… Nothing but Dune until I Dune once more.
#XMen97
is, without a doubt, the best possible version of what it could have been. The finale is epic beyond belief, while planting some exciting seeds for next season. The animation is stunning, the battles are epic, and the characters have a level of depth that we haven’t quite
#BlackAdam
is a MASSIVE DC outing. The action is brutal, and Dwayne Johnson delivers on his promise of shifting the DCEU in a different direction. The story itself is up and down, as certain scenes don’t pack the intended punch… Although there are moments that fans will LOVE.
Rewatched Prometheus…
Look, I understand why many just don’t like this movie… That said, it gets more interesting on every watch. The ideas don’t entirely come together, but this film is fascinating, original, and straight-up phenomenal at times.
It’s an excellent attempt at
Andrew Garfield had himself a YEAR, but the standout performance was absolutely
#TickTickBoom
I am 100% on board the “Andrew Garfield for Best Actor” train, and I hope he continues to gain traction.
#TheBatman
is epic. Pattinson’s grasp of this character is apparent from the first scene, and Reeves builds a layered mystery around him. There are thrills throughout, but the quiet moments standout. Giacchino’s masterful score cements this as one of the best Batman movies ever.
I just got out of
#GodzillaMinusOne
Not only is this the best Godzilla movie I’ve ever seen… This is one of the best movies of the year.
I’m speechless.
Chris Hemsworth steals the show in
#Furiosa
… He gets a chance to showcase his abilities in the most exciting way possible and makes for a menacing antagonist for our hero. You can tell he’s having a blast, and Miller brings out his best. There is one monologue that is absolutely
#Oppenheimer
is an immersive and skillfully edited biopic that feels nothing short of monumental. This goes beyond Nolan showcasing a compelling character study, as the visuals and score elevate every moment. Murphy is phenomenal, Blunt shines, and RDJ is coming for that Oscar.
#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3
is a special MCU entry. These characters continue to show growth, and this finale ties so much together. Fans will feel so many things when the credits hit, but it will be hard not to smile. This movie will bring joy and satisfaction to many.
Rarely does a sequel deliver on THIS level of hype, but
#DunePartTwo
surpasses the first in almost every way. It is a technical masterpiece, as expected, but even the writing is a step up. It left me with this beautiful feeling that I had just experienced something truly special.
All Quiet on the Western Front brings us a masterful look at the brutality of war. It is a difficult film to watch, but it’s presented in the most visually stunning way. From cinematography to editing, this is a pure filmmaking showcase… A truly unforgettable experience. Wow.
#Kalki2898AD
landing in the top five is huge for Tollywood… Massive blockbuster spectacle that is built to be seen on the big screen. Glad people are seeing it!
Tollywood blasts into Hollywood in the middle of the summer box office.
KALKI 2898 AD scored a Top 5 debut domestically, landing with $5.5M this weekend, and an incredible $10.8M since it opened Thursday.
She had a rough first few minutes, but our baby girl is doing well today. A few bumps and bruises, but the staff at Baptist Health came through. S/O to my wife for being an absolute rockstar for ten months straight. Introducing Ryleigh Jane Burke. Best Father’s Day gift ever.
#Oppenheimer
is an R-rated historical biopic… Yes, Nolan is the director, but even then… $75M+ on opening weekend is absolutely incredible. I expected a stunning $50M, but word of mouth and hype will carry this far beyond that. We are witnessing history (literally)
#TheLittleMermaid
may be the one to (somewhat) turn the tide on Disney remakes… Halle Bailey is absolute perfection as Ariel. Her voice elevates every moment. The film overcomes a flat start and eventually provides vibrant and colorful sequences that will captivate viewers.
After two episodes
#ShogunFX
is excellent… The scale of this series is MASSIVE, and there are plenty of storylines being set up, but everything is edited so together beautifully. Hiroyuki Sanada is spectacular, and this has the potential to be something special. DONT MISS IT.
#AvatarTheWayOfWater
is a stunning and somewhat mind-blowing visual experience. I had to catch my breath when the film ended. Story-wise, it is about what you expect, but the world-building is monumental. Cameron has truly delivered an EPIC blockbuster… Take me back to Pandora.
For me, Shang-Chi and No Way Home are head and shoulders above the other phase four films. I still like some of the others, but these are the only two that I genuinely LOVE. Shang-Chi gets better with every watch btw 👀
This entire sequence in
#DunePartTwo
is one of the coolest things I have ever seen on the big screen… Everything about it… I was enamored. Thank you Denis🙏🏻
#WakandaForever
is as emotionally fulfilling as that brilliant first trailer. Not only is this a beautifully-written script, but the cast crushes it. This is a sequel handled with care, and Coogler manages to raise his game from a directing standpoint… It delivers.
Paul Giamatti is Oscar-worthy in
#TheHoldovers
.
Da'Vine Joy Randolph is wonderful.
But for this to be Dominic Sessa’s FIRST performance?It is easily one of the most impressive outings of the year… It feels effortless, like he has been in the industry for years. Just amazing.
Oh. My. God. You will hearing this a lot, but
#MidnightMass
is astounding. THIS is what Mike Flanagan’s work has been building up to. This series perfectly balances religious themes, character depth, and traumatizing moments. It may be the best show of the year.

#CriticsChoice
votes are in… Choosing between Cillian Murphy and Paul Giamatti is legitimately one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. It genuinely took weeks to decide. After much deliberation, I went with my heart…
#DeadpoolAndWolverine
has every ounce of juice that the MCU has so desperately lacked as of late. Does this reinvent the wheel? No. Did it need to? Absolutely not. What it does is reinvigorate the franchise and inject the glorious madness of Deadpool in the best (and most
