- MISCONDUCT was released ten years ago today in North America. During one scene, Pacino snarls: "What are we doing here?" I had to agree.

- IS THIS THING ON? is now in UK cinemas. I enjoyed the heck out of this film about a man starting over and trying stand-up comedy. Great cast too. My full review: bit.ly/4a35VgF
- NOUVELLE VAGUE is now in UK cinemas. It's a fascinating feature film about the making-of an iconic French crime film. Zoey Deutch is outstanding as Jean Seberg. My full review: bit.ly/4a35VgF

- GOOD FORTUNE is now on DVD and Blu-Ray. A great comedy cast, including Seth Rogan, Keanu Reeves and Aziz Ansari, cannot save this unfunny body swap comedy. My full review: bit.ly/4a35VgF
