Bumping this ahead of the weekend! Such an a joy to speak with Christine Vachon (Christine Vachon) and Pamela Koffler of Killer Films about their success on the opening weekend of the Metrograph series!

The great Blake Howard returns to mine the B-Sides of the legendary John Frankenheimer! We talk Prophecy, 52 Pick-Up, Dead-Bang, Against the Wall, and more, as well as charting Frankenheimer's pivot back to TV in the '90s and why he's one of the best to ever do it. Listen

Listen to Dave Kehr about everything, but most especially him calling Zemeckis' HERE a masterpiece.

Scorsese representation at CitiField today. Absolute cinema indeed, John DeMarsico. 🙌

Was really my pleasure having Dave Kehr on Emulsion: A Film Stage Podcast to discuss Silent Movie Week (still running!), struggles with 35mm, improvements of digital restoration, and why Zemeckis' Here is the best movie in recent memory: thefilmstage.com/emulsion-ep-13…

Weapons is at its best when it embraces being a dark fairytale, and feels like it's biting off far more than it can chew when it tries to be a sprawling character drama. I admire the ambition, but it doesn't fully come together. My review for The Film Stage 📽:

My first #NYFF was back in 2016 at NYFF54. This is great to see just to look back at why NYFF is always a fun time.
