#SpiderManNoWayHome

Best (Non-#SamRaimi Live-Action)#Spiderman, Ever!

Absolutely, *terrific*, #SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse live-action "remake" fun!

The gang's (almost)all here: brooding Haden Church, cynical Ifans, fun Foxx, the great, tragic Molina, and, of course, the one, the only Dafoe. The movie just *crackles* to life when he's on screen… dang! Gotta bring him back for some more of these meta-multiverse adventures…wait meta multiverse, so… metave… nah, not going *there*😬!

And give it up for the central troika of Holland, Zendaya, and Batalon, imagine the weight of an *entire* industry resting on their young, winning-chemistry shoulders😲! Well done kids!

But, man, Standing O to Series MVP Tomei, the emotional heart at the center of it all👏!

Speaking of the multiverse(s🤷‍♀️?), how many are there really: #Marvel-CU, Sony-CU, Netflix-CU, Disney+-CU… any other corporate-verses I'm leaving out🤔? Where's a Wall Street analyst when you need them?

So, in Spiderman cinematic history, Maguire's the GOAT Bale, and Garfield's the underrated Keaton, which means Holland's the new (British)kid Pattinson, bringing the superhero into a brave new world, right? Talk amongst yourselves…

Uh, for a "kid's" movie, the spectre(sorry, got Bond on my mind😂) of death sure does hang heavy over the entire proceedings🥶... 

PS. So, those end-credit "stingers," they're essentially post-roll ads now, right…😏











[Spoiler Alert!]: Man, people gotta stop saying that "with great power comes…" line onscreen 😖

#Voyagers Good, clean #LordOfTheFlies YA poli-sci-fi fun. Expert craftsmanship, especially when you consider the budget for indie-sci-fi's. Beautiful work by the DP(well-lit scenes so you don't have to squint, imagine that?, and those richly saturated colours!), composer(not resorting to easy sci-fi tropes), and esp the drool-worthy production design(that, too, on a budget!). And, to top it all off, expert sound design by Hsu, the hardest-working (sound)man in the indie film biz👏! And the kids?, well, they're certainly all right, highlighted by a terrific villain in Whitehead, kid's a keeper. - - - #NeilBurger #PaulHsu #ScottChambliss #EnriqueChediak #TrevorGureckis #FionnWhitehead #TyeSheridan #LilyRoseDepp(#VanessaParadis's kid!, boy time moves fast😳!) #ChanteAdams #ViveikKalra(#BlindedByTheLight!) #IsaacHempsteadWright(#GoT!) #ColinFarrell(yes, that CF, be still TBH's beating heart!) @voyagersfilm @lionsgate @neil.burger

The Dog (2014) .

#TBT so how about a #Throwback Movie? 😁 #TheDog (2014) One of those headspinning truth-is-stranger-than-fiction-way-stranger stories that the good documentaries, uh, spin so very well. If "The Dog" weren't a real person, you'd have to make him up! You always hear that tagline, right?, the [blank] was only the beginning…that was never truer here. I mean, yeah, we've all seen #DogDayAfternoon, but there's so much more that happened before..and after😲. Wojtowicz himself is a terrific character, and kudos to the documentarians for digging beneath that charismatic, seemingly-fun surface to hint at the darkness beneath. And, kudos, also, for giving a showcase to his mom, a star in her own right! And how about all that early gay rights activism footage…real eye-opening stuff. An informative, absorbing, entertaining documentary about a quintessential New York character. - - - #AllisonBerg #FrankKeraudren #JohnWojtowicz #TheresaWojtowicz #Sidn

#WolfWalkers Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful! The kind of intelligent, layered, nervewrack/heartwarm/thoughtprovok-ing, non-1000-gags-per-minute-headache inducing kid's film you don't see too often these days. Let's start with that eye-watering, beautiful, lyrical, artwork (I'm not an art major, but looks like they do lotsa interesting stuff with perspectives🤔?). Every frame is one of those, uh, frame-worthy efforts, inspired by those awesome woodcut-type stuff I used to see at my Aunt's place, contrasting with the magical, mythical forests(like I said, I'm not an art major…TL;DR: it's *beautiful*!). There's a lesson in there for all of us: never let budget, or lack thereof, stand in your way! Speaking of lessons, dude, this film has *all* the allegory(?metaphor? unlike Kornheiser, I wasn't an English major😁) you can handle, especially for a kid's film(actually, all the good ones have some layer of subtext, right?). "Into your
