A really solid week for movies 🍿

28 Years Later is exactly the kind of bleak and raw chaos I wanted. Danny Boyle gives us a kinetic, emotional rollercoaster that uses a bunch of different camera techniques to great effect. This is a ride you don’t want to miss out on. 📽️🔪 @28yearslater.bsky.social

Mine is The Ugly Stepsister!

I finished this movie late last night! More thoughts to come but in short: absolute cinema 🙌🏾 #TheLordOfTheRings #filmsky 📽️

🇹🇿 Tanzania mentioned on The Rehearsal, we’re so up right now! 👏🏾📺

#nowwatching for the very first time. I opted for the extended version vs. the theatrical cut and have been having a blast so far. #filmsky

4 games I’d give a 10/10 🎮

The Ugly Stepsister is a grotesque reclamation of the fairy tale’s forgotten figure. A seething blend of body horror and feminine rage, this one is not for the faint of heart. It comes out in theaters today! #TheUglyStepsister 📽️🔪

It’s Letterboxd Friday so here are my last four watched films! I’m still riding the Sinners high after watching it on Monday. Go see it in theaters!!!✨

#Sinners is an unholy masterpiece baptized in blood and blues. Michael B. Jordan is mesmerizing in dual roles, and Coogler crafts horror that’s spiritually terrifying. I left the theater like I’d just survived something holy and harrowing. 📽️🔪 @sinnersmovie.bsky.social #SinnersMovie

You’ll have a blast!

Me liking all the tweets about the movie Sinners #AddtoBlackSky

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday! This week has been amazing, I definitely recommend checking out these films when they open in theaters! #filmsky 📽️

One of the best weeks I’ve had in a long time

It was lovely to hear Mark Anthony Green chat about his movie Opus at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social!

Opus is an eerie Willy Wonkaesque dive into the dark side of fame. John Malkovich is delightfully bizarre, and Ayo Edebiri is exceptional. 🎵🔪 #OpusMovie #horror #filmsky 📽️

Your Chicago Curated Weekend: 2/27 and Beyond | Third Coast Review We’re in that miraculous false spring season so let’s take advantage of the warmer temps and brighter days! There’s so much coming up this weekend including all the fun concerts, […]

Need weekend plans? We got you covered! Check out Your Curated Weekend for ideas: thirdcoastreview.com/2025/02/27/y...

The Monkey is a wild ride!

Debating whether Santa is the most popular person on Earth is funny.

Devolving into a combative, half hour pitch session that explores more bizarre yet accurate contrasts to that Santa claim is masterful.

It’s a food podcast. All timer too!

@doughboys.bsky.social @blankcheck.bsky.social

This is a great entry episode for new Doughboys fans. It’s been my favorite podcast for years.

Zach Cherry is a perfect guest. He indulges in the dumb vibe, introduces novel segments, and almost yeets himself out of the Headgum studio due to shame. The boys stumble. My heart swells. Five forks!

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday! I had some big hits and some big misses 😅 This week was #horror movies and The Brutalist 📽️
