"The scathing indictment of the lynch mob mentality is a bitter pill. We see how people can quickly convince themselves of things that never happened, just because it helps support the lie they already decided had to be believed." boxd.it/e4sKlN

The Best Version of the Thing: Steven Soderbergh on "The Christophers" An interview with the legendary director about his newest film.

An excellent interview, but I wish it hadn't danced around the elephant in the room but chose to attack it head-on: the fact that Soderbergh is using AI and plans to use it more, which feels very at odds with his statements on creativity and authorship. #FilmSky

A ★★★★½ review of Pete's Dragon (2016) Mother Mary made me want to see more David Lowery films. A Letterboxd review convinced me that his work for Disney was undoubtedly part of his overall artistic canon. Robert Redford sealed the deal. S...

"...extremely entertaining, heartfelt, mythical, and much better than the original film. Bonus points for transforming Mickey Rooney's comic-relief screaming alcoholic into Robert Redford's gentle teller of legends who also knows how to use a knife to hijack a truck."

A ★★½ review of Pete's Dragon (1977) Pete's Dragon was amongst the first movies that I ever saw theatrically, probably the third one, even though I already was a monster movie fan from television. Then, when it hit HBO in its early years...

"Everyone is in Disney mode cranked up to Eleven... sometimes way too Supercalafragelistic for my nerves... I suppose it's all right and good for a Disney family musical, but it felt like I was being force fed an entire candy store while being electrocuted."

One character in Lee Cronin's The Mummy has such a long, traumatic, drawn-out death that's so mean-spirited that it's almost comical. It got me thinking "Damn, Mummy Movie, what did that character ever do to you?!?" #horrorsky #TheMummy #leecroninsthemummy

Forget four. Over a greater part of the past week, I threw a one man Mummy Movie Orgy, watching or rewatching 13 Mummy movies in the countdown to Lee Cronin's The Mummy. Some fun surprises & a lot of cinematic junk. #LetterboxdFriday #FilmSky #horrorsky #mummymovie #themummy #leecroninsthemummy

A ★★★½ review of Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) Lee Cronin's The Mummy is groundbreaking purely for the ways that it explores the basic tropes of the Mummy Movie (mummies, bandages, sarcophagi, tombs, etc) and reinvents their purpose. It's an extre...

"...violence, gore, outrageous deaths... If the director's name in the title bothers you, I can assure you that this was definitely made by the same person who made Evil Dead Rise, to the point where it could be called The Egyptian Dead." boxd.it/e0rnr1 #FilmSky #horrorsky #leecroninsthemummy

A ★★★½ review of Tale of the Mummy (1998) Even via the drastically cut down US edit, Tale Of The Mummy aka Russell Mulcahy's Tale Of The Mummy aka Talos The Mummy is a fascinating and freaky little epic of Mummy hoo-hah. It's one of those B-m...

A ★★ review of The Mummy's Hand (1940) The original 1932 version of The Mummy with Boris Karloff is a classic and the best film of its subgenre in horror cinema, well worth rewatching over and over. But I'm not here to write about that one...

Aww, somebody's really sensitive on here about being parodied. I doubt Lee Cronin would feel the need to block them, as I suspect he actually has a sense of humor. #leecroninsthemummy
