I can do the 28th

And I'm really starting to sound like a broken record here but there have been too many dystopian movies lately. Not every filmgoer is a doomer who wants The Running Man to be a reality so they can say "I told you so". It's a fair point although Netflix's #1 and #4 films of the second half of last ...

I'm not convinced Charlize Theron has star power. I do think Tom Hardy does, which probably helped Fury Road. Apparently Furiosa isn't appealing to women, or a younger audience, so it's essentially a one-quadrant film, hence this disasterous result. And maybe a Mad Max film without Mad Max wasn't th...

That's a relief. Criterion had to let a bunch of staff go a while back, so glad it has a few more years left.

Early reviews for The Substance are overwhelmingly positive-with many stating that it's an instant body horror classic and features a triumphant comeback performance from Demi Moore.

I'll drop Flight Risk

That's bad for IF. But decent for The Strangers.

Making bids for The Woman in the Yard and Drop

Good point. But since Chien denied my request, let's end the season after this weekend.

Winehouse had a huge hit in the US with Rehab, and Back to Black reached #2 in the album charts. She was more popular than you'd think, and she's constantly being referenced by contemporary singers. If the doc can do $8m, the biopic can do way more.
