Pop culture attention spans stretch very, very thin, so I know we're off of STREET FIGHTER now - except SIKE, we're not, here's my review, and you damn well better read it because I did it for @popheist.com.
'Street Fighter' Review: Smothered by Excess
'Street Fighter’s' mix of tropes lend a bugnuts atmosphere that’s hard to write off, though maybe not enough to recommend it.

My favorite film of the year (so far). Can't stop thinking about 'You Can See Everything' and am thrilled about it. A three hour doc that absolutely flew by. My review for @inbetweendrafts.bsky.social inbetweendrafts.com/you-can-see-...

As a portrait of the man who was the world’s first trillionaire, “Musk” is devastating proof of Lord Acton’s famous axiom, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” #filmsky

Movies notorious and scandalous, leavened by Fablecore
One of the hottest films of 2026 was originally released more than 50 years ago. Ken Russell’s “The Devils” (1971) is spoken of in hushed tones, so instantly controversial upon its release and difficu...

LOVE OF YOUR LIFE is a capital-T Tearjerker, but it works thanks to Qualley’s performance, its own earnestness, and director Rachel Morrison’s ace Boston (and Portugal) location shooting. Review in @cambridgeday.com!

Though reasonably entertaining as a journalism potboiler, THE SOCIAL RECKONING suffers from a surplus of Sorkin. Review in @cambridgeday.com!
'Reckoning' fails to exact a toll
"The Social Reckoning" has its moments but lacks the punch of "The Social Network."

THAT ALIEN, SOUND has something to say about female empowerment, but also has one of the most absurd – if not silliest – premises for a science fiction movie. #filmsky
Review – That Alien, Sound
THAT ALIEN, SOUND. With Mia Danelle, Will Tranfo, Amy Hill, Richard Masur, Deyo Forteza. Written and directed by Brando Topp. Unrated. 100 min. On Digital. I’ll be slight here Margaret Atwood…

“The Social Reckoning” is Sorkin at his best. As with his TV classic “The West Wing,” it is thoroughly entertaining while leaving you much more knowledgeable about its subject matter after you’ve seen it. #filmsky
Review – The Social Reckoning
THE SOCIAL RECKONING. With Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Betty Gilpin, Bill Burr. Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. Rated R for language. 112 min. In theaters. Captain hook …

Fully half of the Coolidge’s opening weekend screenings of YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING are sold out two weeks in advance. For a three-hour documentary screening in the theater’s third biggest house, that is NUTS.

DIGGER is two wisps of a movie swirling around a loadbearing performance, and too self-conscious in its weirdness to be much fun. Review in @bostonhassle.bsky.social! bostonhassle.com/review-digge...
REVIEW: Digger (2026) dir. Alejandro G. Iñárritu // BOSTON HASSLE
bostonhassle.com
Review: "DIGGER" (2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXwn... SPOILER WARNING! What might have sounded daring on paper unfolds as a tacky mess, the arthouse-blockbuster equivalent of a hack stand-up comic who ends a routine after dropping one punchline and then sticks around for an hour of "crowd-work."
