Arnaud Desplechin's #Deception gets released this Arnaud Desplechin's #Deception gets released this week, and we covered it back during #Cannes21. Revisit M.G. Mailloux's words at the link in our bio.  Also up today is @colonelmortimer on Alex Garland's latest, #Men. It's... underwhelming.  —

Only 2 reviews today, but at least they're hilario Only 2 reviews today, but at least they're hilarious diametrical.  First up is this Friday's #KickingtheCanon piece, with Daniel Gorman revisiting Pere Portabella's classic Cuadecuc, vampir in honor of its 50th anniversary.
📸 Credit: Grasshopper Film  And then, in a nice little 180, we have @stevenwarner1980 talking new Rebel Wilson vehicle #SeniorYear, on #Netflix today. He's... unimpressed. Doesn't believe we'll be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2072.

Today, we've got 4 reviews for your hump day readi Today, we've got 4 reviews for your hump day reading pleasure.  First up is @morrisycy on @ninjathyberg's #Pleasure, a biting bit of porn business task-taking.
📸 Credit: @neonrated  Next up is Selina Lee talking #eskilvogt's #TheInnocents from @ifcmidnight, which she describes as "like experiencing a two-hour long sinking feeling."
📸 Credit: Mer films  Third on the docket is @mollyadams2408 on your dad's new favorite movie, #OperationMincemeat. But Molly's not a dad, so she's less keen.
📸 Credit: Giles Keyte / See-Saw Films / Netflix  And rounding it out is @stevenwarner1980 on Babadook-knockoff #Monstrous, which is another big fat horror metaphor and nothing else.

We've got quite an eclectic mess of content for yo We've got quite an eclectic mess of content for your reading pleasure today.  First up is a very cool dialogue between @mikethornwrites and @kathekoja about the dissolving boundaries of art, the creative process, cinematic influences on literature, and more!  That's followed by a belated but no less enthusiastic final dispatch of @prismaticground coverage, wherein we talk @kerstijanwerdal's Lake Forest Park, @isidorebethel's Acts of Love, and #CarlElsaesser's Home When You Return, among others.  And finally, pivoting in an entirely different direction, @colonelmortimer takes a look at #Shudder's #TheTwin, which is some real derivative crud.  —
