The new @SecondSightFilm 4K Special Edition of @NicolasWR's DRIVE is an object of beauty. Very happy to have my exclusive new video essay '3 Point Turns', examining the film's expert car scenes, included alongside the wealth of great writing and other gorgeousness. Top Gear!

At its best, Rebirth replicates some of Jurassic Park’s magic, but Gareth Edwards' blockbuster-savvy direction can’t save the subpar script.

Dropping back into the hell site only because I made a very personal video essay and maybe someone here who’s not a sociopath might connect with it.

Director James Mangold’s choice to focus on Dylan’s 1960s rise to fame pays off, but this film struggles to balance the conventional notes of a music biopic with the singer’s shapeshifting artistry.

did a @RollingStoneUK job in June and still haven't been paid for it. never "called out" a company publicly in my life before (mortifying to have to ask for my own money frankly), and I'm prob yelling into the void, BUT it's Christmas so perhaps there is a miracle to be had lol
GOLD!
The entire 240 pages of legendary film editor Terry Rawlings' ALIEN editing script, which includes a wealth of material either cut from the film or never shot in the first place, provide invaluable historical testimony.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay
ALT I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

Park Beom-su’s Victory was the perfect film to watch this evening. Pure escapism. Didn’t want it to finish! Check out the @KCCUK London Korean Film Festival @BFI in coming days @Leigh_Singer inspired by @edgarwright Baby Driver!
I canceled our subscription to the LA Times because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with them being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is the only way to show I’m standing up.- mh

Top Secret! (1984)
This underwater fight scene was filmed in 10 to 15 second takes with divers off camera supplying the actors with oxygen between shots. Val Kilmer said, 'The hardest part was not not laughing and running out of oxygen.'
Very much looking forward to hosting tonight’s #LFF2024 screening of Alex Ross Perry’s fantastic PAVEMENTS @ThePCCLondon. Sold out but cannot recommend hunting down last-minute tickets enough…
