We're into Week 2 of our #Zemeckisretro & today Se We're into Week 2 of our #Zemeckisretro & today Selina revisits Contact: "Contact is unafraid to fully inhabit the never-ending debate of science vs. religion, asking questions that would probably land it on the wrong side of a picket line today." — We checked out #ThreeThousandYearsOfLonging at Cannes earlier this year. It's in theaters now. Lawrence isn't sold: "[It's] meant to transform from a conceptually stimulating dialogue into an earnest romance...[but] remains largely theoretical." — Daniel watched the new Stallone flick so you don't have to. "Samaritan gets bogged down in endless exposition, listless fight scenes, and a useless 'reveal' that adds nothing of interest to the proceedings." — #movie#movies#moviereviews#moviecritics#film#Films#filmreviews#filmcritics#filmcriticism#filmcommunity#cinema #cinephile #Cinephilecommunity
Today's #Zemeckisretro piece celebrates Who Framed Today's #Zemeckisretro piece celebrates Who Framed Roger Rabbit. @ayeen.forootan handles duties: "[Zemeckis] always cared too deeply about the imaginative and hallucinatory qualities in [his] work to temper the line between the real and non-real." — #MeTime is out on Netflix next week, but @stevenwarner1980 says Me Time is a waste of time: "Me Time feels like it was hastily written on bar napkins the night before each day’s shoot, so unfocused and underdeveloped is the finished product." — #movie#movies#moviereviews#moviecritics#film#films#filmreviews#filmcritica#filmcriticism#filmcommunity#cinema#cinephile #cinephilecommunity
The #RobertZemeckis retrospective rolls on, today The #RobertZemeckis retrospective rolls on, today with Ryan talking #BackToTheFuture — sequels and all. — We’ve also got @stevenwarner1980 on yet another disappointment, #OutOfTheBlue — @s.wilme28 dug into #ThisMagnificentCake! for us, and had some thoughts. — #movie #movies #moviereviews #moviecritics #film #films #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcritic #filmcommunity #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity
More #RobertZemeckis fare for your retrospective r More #RobertZemeckis fare for your retrospective reading pleasure. @colonelmortimer talks the director's indelible Romancing the Stone: "[Here Zemeckis] was fully indulging in his subversive streak of humor and predilection for sudden, scary violence." — The library masturbator from Squid & the Whale made a movie. #FunnyPages releases Fri. We checked it out. Sorta good, sorta not: "Right when things begin to get interesting — when tensions begin to fly, alliances start to crumble — the film meekly ends." — #Babysitter is out on Mubi. @stevenwarner1980 watched it during #Tribeca but was unimpressed (as usual). — #movie #movies #moviereviews #moviecritics #film #films #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity
Our #RobertZemeckis retro is in full swing! We kic Our #RobertZemeckis retro is in full swing! We kicked things off with an intro on Sunday, and will be covering a film a day up until the release of Pinocchio. Monday featured #IWannaHoldYourHand and today's piece comes from @krsmello on #UsedCars. It's pretty cool — check it out! — Monday's #KickingTheCanon came from @mollyadams2408, on Takashi Miike's #Audition: "[Audition is] an oddly tender story about loneliness, haunting, and far subtler horror than only that of its tortures." — We also talked #Squeal from Aik Karapetian yesterday. @morrisycy has some words on that one. — Up today is @stevenwarner1980's thoughts on #Breaking from Abi Damaris Corbin, back during #Sundance, and Ben's got thoughts on Fernando León de Aranoa's #TheGoodBoss. All that's to say, there's plenty to read!

Just a smidge late, but we finally wrap our #Locar Just a smidge late, but we finally wrap our #Locarno coverage today. There's a good number of excellent films talked about, including Alexander Sokurov's FAIRYTALE, Bianca Lucas' LOVE DOG, and Julia Murat's Golden Leopard-winning RULE 34, among others! — #DragonBallSuperSuperHero is out in a couple days. Zach channels his 90s anime days & finds a way to namecheck Ezra Pound in his review: "What happens when the trope becomes so important that the entire work becomes about engendering this conversation?" — Three Minutes — A Lengthening from Bianca Stigter is also out this week, and JMK checked in during #DOCNYC. Revisit his thoughts at the link in our bio. — #movie #movies #moviereview #moviereviews #moviecritics #film #films #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity
We're rounding up & talking about July albums, sta We're rounding up & talking about July albums, starting off with today's thoughts on excellent new albums from @beyonce, @amandapearlshires & @imperialtriumphant, plus the new #BeachBunny rec & #KenCarson's debut. — #GirlPicture from Alli Haapasalo is out this week, and Zac does NOT recommend. "Girl Picture is an embarrassment of riches for those seeking an exemplar of the cinematically inept, suggesting substance where only vapid fakery exists." — Today we're honoring the 70th anniversary of Jacques Becker's Casque d'Or. @1xferokay breaks it down for #KickingtheCanon: "If Becker’s project was the vicissitudes of inevitability, then Casque d’or’s sequencing is the sterling example." — #movie #movies #moviereviews #moviecritics #film #films #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #cinema #cinephile #albumreviews #musicreviews #musiccritics #beyonce
Doesn't look like too many are enjoying #DayShift Doesn't look like too many are enjoying #DayShift but we're about that life. @colonelmortimer with more: "Despite being a relatively derivative concoction...Day Shift has enough personality and sturdy, silly violence to make it feel downright refreshing." — Paul talked Masaaki Yuasa's latest, #InuOh, a couple weeks back during @FantasiaFest . He says it's mostly skippable: "[Inu-Oh] joins a list of titles that regularly trade in Yuasa’s sloppiest storytelling tendencies..." — #Summering is a real howler, and not in an enjoyable way. @stevenwarner1980 reports: "If life is too short to let those halcyon days of youth slip by unappreciated, it’s definitely too short to waste your time on something as nothing as Summering." — #movie #movies #moviereviews #moviecritics #film #films #filmreviews #filmcritics #filmcriticism #filmcommunity #cinema #cinephile #cinephilecommunity
