Kevin was one of Montgomery Clift’s best friends. There’s a great photoshoot of Monty with the McCarthy’s and their son Flip.

The Dog Stars trailer looks amazing.
I really hope this movie is good. There’s been rumors surrounding its move from an early March to late August release. Really hoping it ends up an awards contender.
I can't believe #TheMisfits is going to be playing at the #TCMFF.
This film means so much to me. My two favourite Montgomery Clift films will be playing at the Festival this year. Beyond a dream come true.
The #TCMFF schedule might be the death of me.
Why are all the films I want to see on at the same time?? 😭😭
"I loved him. I loved him. I loved him. But was I in love with him?"
I just watched #Saltburn (2023, Emerald Fennell). Definitely one of my favourite films I've seen this year. Strange, intoxicating, delirious, sensual, hypnotic and bizarre. A filmic experience unlike any other. I won't forget it.
Jane Fonda as Kitty Twist in #WalkontheWildSide (1962, Edward Dmytryk) 🐈⬛
I just watched #WutheringHeights (2026, Emerald Fennell)
Yep....
Currently enjoying my annual Marilyn Monroe deep dive. Biographies, articles, documentaries, interviews. I've fallen down the rabbit hole hard.
What a fascinating, tragic, beautiful person she was. As someone who suffers from depression, I find her story both inspiring and incredibly compelling.
Trying to follow his stream of consciousness is nearly impossible.
I watched 42 films in March.
It's clear I have no life. And yet I regret nothing.

I can't stop thinking about #ProjectHailMary using the 1950's Leo the Lion MGM logo. It made me feel a certain way.
"Never mistake my kindness for weakness"
I can't recommend #SendHelp (2026, Sam Raimi) highly enough. Such a fun ride! Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien are perfectly cast in this superb survivalist thriller/dark comedy. Lots of fun twists and turns throughout. One of the best movies of 2026 so far!
"Did you know that elephants mate only once every seven years?"
I finally watched the film debut of Jane Fonda, #TallStory (1960, Joshua Logan). It's far from a perfect film, with a miscast Anthony Perkins as the leading man. But Jane Fonda shines and shows glimpses of the star she would become.
I just watched #Avanti (1972, Billy Wilder) and I don't know how to feel. Doubtless I would've considered it a favorite - if only it hadn't tried to gaslight me for 150 minutes. Juliet Mills is NOT overweight nor is she ugly - a truly insane (and repetitive) plot point in an otherwise charming film.
As much as I loved it, I can also acknowledge it might not be for everyone. It’s very long and deliberately, methodically slow-paced. It’s also very surrealist at times. But it’s an unforgettable piece of filmmaking.
I don’t know that I’ll ever forget that scene. So haunting and beautiful.
I just watched #Solaris (1972, Andrei Tarkovsky) for the first time. It's going to take me a long time to fully process what I just watched. A beautiful, poetic, surrealist meditation on love, memory and grief, "masquerading" as a science-fiction epic. It's a truly incredible filmmaking feat.
That soul crushing moment when you're called into work on your day off.
It's like the floor has suddenly disappeared beneath your feet.
#ButterfliesareFree (1972, Milton Katselas) stole my heart 🦋 Wow. It completely took me by surprise. The story and performances by Goldie Hawn, Edward Arnold and Eileen Heckart are absolutely beautiful - it's hard not to fall in love with these characters. A fantastic film I wish more people knew.
"You're just walkin' around to save funeral expenses"
#TheElectricHorseman (1979, Sydney Pollack) really surprised me. It's such a beautiful story, with a truly great ending. Jane Fonda and Robert Redford are "electric" (pardon the pun) together. An underrated entry in both their filmographies.
Just got back from seeing #ProjectHailMary (2026, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) 🕷️ I read the book last year, so my expectations were sky high. And it did not disappoint. All I could possibly have hoped for and more.
I'm still trying to collect my thoughts, but Ryan Gosling be still my heart.
The best case scenario for the entire world is that he withdraws from the conflict, loudly proclaiming (incorrectly) that he won the war.
It will literally be the only time I gladly accept his gaslighting barrage of bullshit.
"So I understand you wish to marry my wife"
I just watched #Sleuth (1972), the final film of Joseph L. Mankiewicz. What a remarkable end to a legendary career! An incredible 140 minutes of suspense, intrigue and comedy. Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine are brilliant. I won't forget this one.
#NoirAlley in full, terrifying swing. #TCMParty
#ComingHome (1978, Hal Ashby) remains a heart-wrenching, poignant filmic experience about the psychological and physical toll of the Vietnam War.
Films like this are so important. The human element of war is so often ignored. And so, we repeat the same mistakes over and over, forgetting the cost.
I don't know how to feel about the loss of Nicholas Brendon.
But I am immeasurably sad about the loss of Xander Harris. I feel like I lost a dear friend. Someone who was always there for me when I needed it most. Xander was a core part of my childhood and will be sorely missed.
#TheMurderMan (1935, Tim Whelan) is only 70 minutes long, but packs a hell of a punch. Jimmy Stewart's first film and Spencer Tracy's first film under contract at MGM. The story and script are absolutely terrific - with twists and turns throughout. Tracy is great here. Definitely worth a watch.
