Lee Sang-il’s KOKUHO lavishly explores the dedication, pain, and sacrifice it takes to become a national treasure — Moviejawn by Janet Reinschmidt, Staff Writer Sang-il lavishly explores the dedication, pain, and sacrifice it takes to become the titular Kokuho.

MJ's @calamityjanet.bsky.social calls KOKUHO a "mesmerizing epic film".

#Kokuho is now playing in select theaters and opens wide this weekend.

H IS FOR HAWK is a difficult yet stunning depiction of grief — Moviejawn by Janet Reinschmidt, Staff Writer This film is not easy to watch, but it is also never boring, and at times it may even be cathartic for anyone who has gone through a similar loss.

MJ's @calamityjanet.bsky.social says, "One of the key reasons why this quiet film works, despite its laborious runtime, is Claire Foy’s brilliant and naturalistic acting."

#HIsForHawk is now playing in theaters.

This morning I kissed my girlfriend as I was taking her to work and a man on the street was shouting at people, mostly cars backing out of spots, and we sort of froze when we heard him, then he shouted LESBIANS RULE! at us as he kept walking… so at least he is supportive lmao

Tyrone Power: More Than A Pretty Face, From Blood and Sand to Nightmare Alley “I know I’ve been lucky… what I resent about it is it is all built on a pretty face” – Tyrone Power Tyrone Power was born on May 5, 1914 into an acting dynasty. Both h…

Wrote a blog (that is prob too long and too biographical) about Tyrone Power bc I had nowhere else to put it - read if you wanna learn more about this dude celluloidmenace.wordpress.com/2025/11/20/t...

THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO is a beautiful queer western melodrama that feels wholly original — Moviejawn by Janet Reinschmidt, Staff Writer Although the film is filled with violence, illness, and grief, it is equally filled with love, resilience, and care.

Diego Céspedes’ debut feature THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO deftly balances violence and grief with love and care, writes Janet Reinschmidt @calamityjanet.bsky.social.

WALK WITH ME is as informative as it is heart-wrenching — Moviejawn by Janet Reinschmidt, Staff Writer Walk With Me is at once a personal love letter and also an intimate exploration of the early stages of Alzheimer's disease from the perspective of a marriage.

MJ's @calamityjanet.bsky.social says, "WALK WITH ME is at once a personal love letter from director Heidi Levitt to her husband Charlie Hess, and also an intimate exploration of the early stages of Alzheimer's disease from the perspective of a marriage."

#WalkWithMeMovie premiered in Los Angeles.

Thinking of Twinless and Kiss of the Spider Woman rn (both in my top 5, honestly top 3 films of this year so far) - but also the less good History of Sound, On Swift Horses, Wedding Banquet, and others… I guess Love Lies Bleeding (also a fave) did ok box office but better on streaming

I do feel slightly like a conspiracy theorist right now when I think about how every explicitly gay film that I’ve seen in the past couple years in theatres ended up having a limited release or bombing at the box office… like is Bottoms the last one that did well??

I’m blogging again because I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like… question is do I make a Substack or stick to my Wordpress that I don’t think anyone reads lol

The film is beautiful and gay and unabashedly political and poetic and just everything, a fav of this year so far and honestly would be shocked if it’s not an Oscar contender next year

I met Tonatiuh at the Grove last night before the film and he was the Sweetest

Everyone go see Kiss of the Spider Woman asap I am obsessed

To be honest I forgot about Blue Sky for a minute… but I’m back!

MY SUNSHINE is a tender coming-of-age story that takes a painful turn — Moviejawn by Janet Reinschmidt, Staff Writer My Sunshine is at its best when the three leads are on the ice together, and the film is worth watching if only for the quiet coming-of-age storyline and the gauz...

MY SUNSHINE is a darker tale than its title suggests, with stunning cinematography and great performances from the three leads, says Janet Reinschmidt @calamityjanet.bsky.social.

Has anyone ever seen this?? Film returned from venue with bright pink residue on every frame? Appears black on screen?? Seemed to have an oily sheen but is imbedded in it like a burn? So strange.

My gf asked for a bedtime story the other night and I’m not as creative on the spot as she is, so I just told her Angela Lansbury’s life story instead and it worked! She enjoyed it and did fall asleep at the end.

Snow White is just bizarre, the dwarves are uncanny and the songs fall flat and Zegler’s acting is good but way too melodramatic for a film so unserious. It’s like Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest level of disconnect w the acting and the material. I did see it though! It’s a film! Lol

Downloaded all my books today and recommend you all do the same, if you ever wanna transfer them off Amazon devices without re-buying them!!! Tomorrow the feature goes away.

2025 really coming in hot trying to destroy us huh

So, these fires have been terrifying huh??? Remember when the sky in Burbank looked like this last week? Still ash in the air even tho it’s blue sky now… mask up outside for a bit to protect yourselves.

Got my first LA parking ticket this morning… I mean pretty impressed it took almost two years living here for it to happen but Yikes it’s 73$

I am so grateful y’all, even tho there are some really shitty parts of my life I feel like overall I have cultivated a very full life and I’m so lucky to have a great partner and friends that make me feel so loved 🥰

I’m reading cheesy gay Christmas romance books rn because my life and work has been so bad this month and it is honestly helping

Red Shoes 🩰❤️

I worked on a short film and crewed on an ad shoot earlier this year and now I just wanna be on set again

no exaggeration when I say she had the best delivery and comedic timing

Happy Birthday, Carrie Fisher 💙

I drew some trees

When I see someone unironically complaining about DEI woke mind virus stuff, I like to imagine how Strong Bad would respond to them as if it were an email, and it makes me feel better.

Just remembered this exists, wish folks would move here because I don’t want to use X and honestly the UI is better
