Has more heist vibes but Sorcerer is genuinely sick!
“Game’s haven’t had a price increase since the 90’s”
Dude. You’re signing a lease for some files Xbox has copy pasted onto your PC. You can’t hold a Steam Game. Rent is sky rocketing. The world is burning. Please wake up
There’s everything from First Nations Stories and climate activism, to trippy Arthouse shorts about snails and water bacteria!
Made a @letterboxd.social list of some of the films I could find, but if you see any, make sure to add them to the database!

Sometimes Latin words are just those spell names you’d hear in a porn parody of Harry Potter…
Watched Videoheaven for @thecurb.com.au and realised we’re really starved for video essays in the offline world. Just watch any of the talented creators on @nebula.tv / YouTube and you’ll probably have a better time! 📽️📝

new blog post up on finnwritesmovies! Doing a bit of solo coverage on MIFF over there for the next few days. but in the meantime, checkout my take on Chain Reactions below 📽️📝:

Go there regularly myself and there’s always something cool happening. To the point where each little office feels like stepping into a different dimension. Just a shame a lot of the truly wacky stuff felt unrepresented! 📝📽️
A review by @frickyuu on twitter reads: FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. It’s emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesn’t stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.
It does what now
Does that mean competitive spreadsheet competitors are modern day gladiators?
Feels ironic enough to be a @theonion.com headline…
Never had a thriller put me to sleep quite like this before unfortunately 😴! But this was fun to write about at least! Thanks @thecurb.com.au for publishing it! 📽️📝

need someone to convince Ralph Fiennes to record an ASMR video in character as Dr. Ian Kelson for me personally
Love a great blame game medical drama! And this was just a (depressing) blast to sit through! 📽️📝
What is the charge? Walking a path? A succulent salt path?
Posted to Ko-fi clarifying how tipping will work for the site. Don't worry, you'll never be paywalled from the site. But I would like to offer at least one fun incentive for those who want to support me!

Not apposed to any stinkers either (although it might cost you extra for torturing me 😉)
Also, also! Thinking doing reader recommendations. So for the price of your local newspaper over on ko-fi.com/finnwritesdall I might just review your favourite movie.
Also if any people writing / editing people in my circle want to do the same, cannot recommend @11ty.dev enough! Don't know too much coding myself, but as long as you've written in markdown (think Obsidian, iA writer or Bear Notes) you can pretty much write posts like word and then host on Github.
Heyo! For those who don't know I decided to move away from #Substack and decided to set up a fully dedicated site for my film blog. Took awhile but super ecstatic to finally be able to share it! #filmsky 📽️

Shoutout to Davaa for being the both the sweetest goat herder and the sweetest father! 📽️📝
Nintendo go rid of the gold coins so we couldn’t just bank them up to buy Welcome Tour, I just know it
Whoops, accidentally rated this higher that I meant too 😅. But don’t get it twisted, there’s a really trippy film here that’s a real treat to witness with your own eyes. That is, if your eyes actually exist… 📽️📝
Pained me physically to write a bad review for this cause it has all the things I should like, weird horror, elevated style and a French Female Director. But this felt like it was grasping at tropes and riding on a trend rather than actually joining the conversation of female led horror. 📽️📝
It’s a little cheesy, and I’m kinda confused why they didn’t market it with the show’s audience in mind, but it’s a fun enough to recommend for an at-home watch 📽️📝
In the latest entry of his Screen Play column, Austin Lancaster wades into a world of vulgarity—the "nasty, cheap, and gratuitous"—with indie game NIGHT AT THE GATES OF HELL, which riffs on the gauche greats of Italian horror, Lucio Fulci & Bruno Mattei.

As an AHS fan, I am glad to see Lange, Bates and Rabe performing together again, but this really didn’t do it for me! 📽️📝
