Guy Pearce just gets better and better. In the psychologically complex Australian prison drama INSIDE, he forms a nervy triangle with a transformative Cosmo Jarvis and impressive newcomer Vincent Miller. My The Hollywood Reporter review from #Tribeca2025 hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Fleeing to Provincetown for a few days. Don't bother me.

Jeffrey McHale's full-throated appreciation of an enduring 125-year-old pop culture phenom IT'S DOROTHY! is a deep dive on runaway Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale, her symbiosis with Judy Garland, those slippers and more. My The Hollywood Reporter review from #Tribeca2025 hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Last day in Provincetown. Love this place.

Weighing in with my The Hollywood Reporter colleagues Jon Frosch, lovia, Sheri Linden and Leslie Felperin on our top 10 films of the year so far. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

I was scared stupid by 28 DAYS LATER in 2002, so no surprise I got infected again (sorry) at 28 YEARS LATER, reuniting Danny Boyle & Alex Garland. Jodie Comer is outstanding, with great work also from newcomer Alfie Williams & Ralph Fiennes. My The Hollywood Reporter review hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Happy 50th birthday, JAWS. A few thoughts for The Hollywood Reporter on my obsession with Steven Spielberg’s ageless shark shocker. Might have something to do with growing up on Australian beaches in the years before sonar systems & air surveillance changed shark detection. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-f…

Loved Jordan Tannahill’s meta-theatrical delight PRINCE FAGGOT at Playwrights Horizons. An eloquent, funny, seriously sexy exploration of queerness, not as a one-size-fits-all monolith but a glorious spectrum of experience without boundaries. Great stuff; grab tickets if u can.

The murderous robot with the retro-preppy fashion sense and the Regina George attitude remains a fabulous creation, but Gerard Johnstone's sequel, M3GAN 2.0, trades campy horror for messy action and comes up short. My The Hollywood Reporter review. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Fantastic work by my indefatigable The Hollywood Reporter colleague Scott Roxborough on this roundup of 40 great films about the immigrant experience. And not just because a bunch of my suggestions made the cut! hollywoodreporter.com/lists/best-fil…

Caught up at Provincetown Film Society with Mathias Broe's first feature, SAUNA, a sensitively handled queer romantic drama about a Copenhagen gay bathhouse employee who falls for a trans man. Melancholy and sensual. My The Hollywood Reporter review. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Finally got to HBO’s enthralling 2-part Paul Reubens doc PEE-WEE AS HIMSELF. A unique talent who tucked away his queerness to serve a man-child alter ego that all but erased the man himself, then stripped of his dignity in overblown obscenity charges. Brought me to tears. 💔

Like its cross-bred dinosaurs, JURASSIC PARK REBIRTH is “engineered entertainment,” hatched primarily from the first and third parts of Spielberg’s original trilogy. But I had a good time and it helped wipe the memory of the awful DOMINION. My The Hollywood Reporter review hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

#JurassicWorldRebirth Review: "Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson, both in excellent form, inject a lot of charm into the evolving rapport between these two opposites" bit.ly/4ntbA5I

Netflix’s THE OLD GUARD 2, starring Charlize Theron & KiKi Layne, has many of the elements that made the first movie an unexpected surprise at the height of COVID lockdown. But crucially, it doesn’t have director Gina Prince-Bythewood. My The Hollywood Reporter review hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Caught up with Kiyoshi Kurosawa's hypnotic CLOUD, a slow-burn thriller about a bored factory worker seduced by the quick-buck rewards of black-market online goods resale until it comes back to bite him in the ass in a violent climax. Suspenseful stuff; in theaters July 18

Hitchcock double this weekend in Northern California: Legion of Honor museum from VERTIGO in SF; Bodega Bay schoolhouse and church from THE BIRDS. I swear, a big-ass crow was stalking us from a fence.

Obligatory San Francisco tourist shot. Very painterly, if I say so myself

#Superman Review: "David Corenswet makes an outstanding Superman/Clark Kent, his performance loaded with self-irony, charm and poignant vulnerability." Full THR review here: bit.ly/40IkIcT

Anyone with an enduring love for the first two Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN movies will get a big kick out of James Gunn's funny, playful, deeply affectionate take on the DC crown jewel. Plus, there's Krypto! My The Hollywood Reporter review hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…
