- Saying goodbye to Park City, @theamynicholson.bsky.social @indiefocus.bsky.social and I reflect on years of Sundance memories — along with our 9 favorites from this year’s lineup. I love how personal this turned out. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

- What to watch today at Sundance? Our first taste of recommendations and reactions is here, including quick notes on JOSEPHINE, THE MOMENT, BUDDY and THE DISCIPLE. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- And don't sleep on this killer essay by @theamynicholson.bsky.social about what makes an L.A. movie — with a fun illustration of its own! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

- I can't believe this is finally out in the world. It's the work of many people: 17 contributors who really know the city, 101 write-ups, beautiful photo sourcing and illustrations, smart design. My thanks to everyone involved. Tell us what we missed. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- @theamynicholson.bsky.social going granular on a trashy horror movie is a beautiful thing. (Meanwhile, MONKEY SEE, MONKEY KILL was right there, title people.) www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

- I feel lucky to have worked and learned from @evincentelli.bsky.social — here she is, handling the trickiest subject on A1 without flinching. In a real way, EV taught me how to write. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/28/a...
- There are so many good ones this year but here are 12 needle drops to get you started on your own playlist. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Unlike my other teenage favorites (John Hughes, James Cameron, Carpenter, etc.), I couldn't tell you what a "Rob Reiner film" was. That was the point. @theamynicholson.bsky.social gets at this idea beautifully. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- If you don’t subscribe to Vulture, this is the reason to do so: an oral history that only @bilgeebiri.bsky.social would think to do, one that’s shocking with each new story, pitched at the moment right before crazy CGI made everything boring. The “green salve” indeed. www.vulture.com/article/how-...
- So many of my favorite Safdie moments are shaped and italicized by Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), a musician who's singlehandedly bringing back the era of synth wizards. His work for MARTY SUPREME is the main character. It was a pleasure discussing his art. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

- Gutted by this news. Over long breakfasts we hashed out 15 Tribecas, then several Sundances. It’s a cruel irony that Tammie won’t be able to taste Boulder, an outcome she worked so hard for. Her passion was continuity in a field with little of it. variety.com/2025/film/ne...
- Oh yes. So it begins. Well played @nyfcc.bsky.social
- Our team at @latimes.com is producing some killer work. Here's a taste of recent features (🧵) @emilyzemler.bsky.social sat down with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal in London, going deep into Chloé Zhao's process for HAMNET. You'll want to go pubbing with them: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- When Good Things Happen to Good People Dept. deadline.com/2025/10/amer...
- Scott Cooper has built an impressive filmography over the years, making movies that touch upon childhood trauma and the pursuit of a belated grace. @pamelachelin.bsky.social spoke to him. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Humbled to be nommed with all these critics. Critics rule.
- There’s huge fun to be had with Tina Romero’s QUEENS OF THE DEAD. She understands her dad’s legacy better than most and queers it exuberantly. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- What's happening this week, movies-wise? (🧵) If you've seen BUGONIA, you may have left wondering: Who's that kid? His name is Aidan Delbis and he went straight from high school to acting in a Yorgos film. Our Mary McNamara spoke to him: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Like so many kids, I played along to Kiss riffs in my bedroom. Ace Frehley doesn’t seem gone because he can never be gone for me. #RIPitout

- Rose Byrne should have three Oscars by now but the indie IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU is truly a moment for her. @ezwrites.bsky.social sat down with her in Cobble Hill. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- PTA finds his own beautiful way into Thomas Pynchon with ONE BATTLE — part of that is the needle drop of the year ("Dirty Work"), part is an even funnier phone argument than the one in PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. But it's all him. @indiefocus.bsky.social ranks the 10 features. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- “It’s actually really nice to be here because it was another home for me. I had to appear as though I owned it — and I kind of did.” We brought Tim Curry back to the Roxy to chat about THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, now 50. @steveappleford.bsky.social has the story. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Spinning off from Thomas Pynchon's "Vineland," Paul Thomas Anderson’s "fun and fizzy adaptation views its Molotov cocktail as half-full," says our @theamynicholson.bsky.social in her review, a beautiful piece of writing. Make time for this one. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

- Sitting for his first solo interview about his new movie ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, director Paul Thomas Anderson chats with Glenn Whipp about fathers, daughters and fascism. A deep read on what is unquestionably the American film of the year. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Toronto is finally in the rearview and @theamynicholson.bsky.social @indiefocus.bsky.social and I have our favorites from a lineup that kept us guessing. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Reserving my thoughts on THE SMASHING MACHINE for a moment, but it is a stroke of absolute brilliance to close on the Alan Parsons Project’s “Limelight,” which is the emotionally overwhelming Moroder song he never wrote. That’s 100% @bowedtie.bsky.social

- I’ve been thinking about SIRÂT for months — it’s a movie that crystallizes my apocalyptic mood. Sitting down with its filmmaker Oliver Laxe was a pure pleasure. He’s a director who doesn’t wait for permission. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Lions and tigers and AI — oh my! @theamynicholson.bsky.social headed down to Vegas to catch the Sphere-ified WIZARD OF OZ. Is it the enemy? Or just a fun ride? A little of both. tinyurl.com/5emukwub
- The performances of this year's Telluride were marked by a quiet, concentrated intensity — it proved to be a thrilling showcase for acting. We picked our favorites. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Chloé Zhao has the triumph of Telluride in HAMNET. Getting there was not easy. In a beautiful, intimate interview, Josh Rottenberg sat down with her and they talked about the last four years. She also told us what Ryan Coogler thinks of the new movie. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- “People are angry. That’s what seems to define our country right now. Anger. And it doesn’t seem to be going away.” In our exclusive #Telluride sit-down with Jeremy Allen White, the actor goes deep into his process and his own connection to Springsteen’s “Nebraska.” www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- Our annual fall preview is live and I'm proud of the breadth of tastes of all who contributed. A brief 🧵: @carlosfilm.bsky.social sat down at El Mercadito with Tonatiuh, born in L.A. to immigrant parents and commanding in the new KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
- There are days on which TOBY DAMMIT is my favorite Fellini and that’s largely due to Terence Stamp, splitting the difference between LA DOLCE VITA and something much darker. One of a kind. images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5...
