Finally watched Project Hail Mary, which I'd really been looking forward to. It was okay. I was expecting more of a hard #scifi movie, not a family-friendly buddy movie in space (felt like Short Circuit sometimes). Perfectly entertaining, but give me Arrival any day. #Moviesky #Filmsky #PHM 📽️

Watched Good One (2024), a low-key #drama about a girl on a camping trip in the Catskills with her dad and his best friend. It's a subtle, intelligent, confident debut from director India Donaldson, and one of the better #MeToo era films I've seen recently. Well worth a watch. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Drop some SCI-FI PROTAGONISTS 👽🖤👾 #Filmsky #Moviesky #scifi

Watched The Mastermind (2025), a contemplative #crime #drama of slow pace and occasional moments of brilliance. Director Kelly Reichardt nails the 70s vibe, the jazz soundtrack is cool and Josh O'Connor is very watchable. It's the kind of film I appreciate rather than love. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

It Was Just an Accident (2025) is a great movie. Director Jafar Panahi, who made the film without permission from the Iranian authorities, strikes a brilliant balance between political thriller and black comedy - and the brief reference to Waiting for Godot says a lot. Loved it #Filmksy #Moviesky 📽️

Just watched Islands (2025), a slow burn #mystery that's far deeper and more emotionally complex than its resort setting might suggest. Sam Riley is brilliant as always and has to be one of the most effortlessly likeable actors out there. An absolute gem of a film. Watch it. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Watched Twinless (2025) last night, a dark psychological comedy written and directed by James Sweeney, who also stars. It's a strange film about grief, loneliness, authenticity and forgiveness that swings between funny and unsettling. Not groundbreaking, but worth a watch. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Issue 4 of In Another Time Magazine @inanothertimemag.bsky.social is out, featuring my poem "To the Second Generation." It's the first #poem I've had published, which is kind of cool, and it involves a #scifi staple I've always been fascinated with: generation ships. #PoetrySky #SFF #BookSky

My first ever #fantasy story, "The Troll Road," has been published by PodCastle @podcastle.org! It's a family-friendly tale involving a knight, a witch and a troll 😊 Read it at the link below (please do!) or listen to the audio version. podcastle.org/2026/06/23/p... #ShortStory #Writersky #SFF

Just watched The Assessment (2024), a #scifi movie set in a future where parenthood is strictly controlled. It's a bit of a mess, doesn't make much sense and chucks ideas around without nailing any of them. But it's fun enough with a very quirky performance by Alicia Vikander. #Moviesky #Filmsky 📽️

My contributor copy of Fission #6 has arrived! Published by the British Science Fiction Association @bsfa.bsky.social it includes 20 stories - one of which is my dark tale of interstellar obsession, "The Green Willow." Available now on Amazon.🚀 #BookSky #SciFi #ShortStory #SFF #WritingCommunity

Drop some CREATURES 🦌👾🖤🦖🦀 #Filmsky #Moviesky #Labyrinth 📽️

After two weeks in a rural Welsh valley with malfunctioning internet, I've finally been reconnected to the world. I feel quite giddy 🛜 #Moviesky #Filmsky 📽️

The Dirty Dozen was released #OTD in 1967. Watched it a lot with my dad when I was a kid. It's violent and gritty with a great team assembly sequence - something I still love in movies. And that cast: Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas etc.❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky #WarMovies 📽️

Hydration breaks are the biggest load of bullshit in this World Cup. Blatantly created for advertising in the USA. Fair enough if it's really hot, but doing it in every game is just a dumb way to break play into quarters for commercials and ruin the flow of every match 😠 #WorldCup #football #soccer

Watched Undertone (2025), a Canadian #horror that keeps things fresh by going heavy on audio, building a nice atmosphere of dread. Has strong notes of Paranormal Activity and a hint of Blair Witch, with some genuinely creepy moments. A good late-night watch with the lights out. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Watched The Christophers (2025), a Steven Soderbergh film that begins like a low-key heist caper but transforms into a movie about contemporary #art, human expression and the desire to be remembered. Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel are great together. Loved every second of it ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Happy birthday to Michael J. Fox, born #OTD in 1961🎈Was a real childhood hero as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future movies and Scott Howard in Teen Wolf (1985). Also good in Brian De Palma's Casualties of War (1989) and the sitcom Spin City (I think... bit hazy on that one). #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Watched Wuthering Heights (2026), a glossy pop-video-meets-fairy-tale version of Brontë's classic. It's kind of awful, kind of fascinating, a stripped-down butchering of the book aimed at... Charlie xcx fans? Some nice sets and visuals, and enjoyable enough as a popcorn movie. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

"Back off, man. I'm a scientist." Ghostbusters was released #OTD in 1984. What a film: one of the greatest teams ever assembled in a movie😀, Sigourney Weaver looking hot as hell, Slimer being brilliant, Rick Moranis, and the iconic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Absolute classic ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

The Goonies was released #OTD in 1985. Absolutely loved this film as a kid, a perfect mix of #comedy and adventure. The cast was great and former NFL defensive end John Matuszak did a brilliant job as Sloth, a character I always found totally fascinating. "Hey, you guys!" ❤️🏴‍☠️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

Happy birthday to Robert Englund, born #OTD in Glendale, California🎈He's been in a whole load of movies and TV shows, but for most of us he is and always will be the stuff of childhood #nightmares, Freddy Krueger ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky #horror 📽️

Finished Half Man last night, a 6-part UK TV #drama created by and starring Richard Gadd (of Baby Reindeer). It's bleak but brilliant - you'll love it or hate it. The Daily Mail gave it 0/5 and called it "vile" and "utter dross," so you know it's good 😀 Watch it, it's great. #TVSky #UKTV #BBC #HBO

Drop something BLUE 🦋👖💙🧞‍♂️🖌️ #Filmsky #Moviesky #SciFi #Tron 📽️

Happy birthday to the brilliant Bruce Dern, born #OTD in 1936🎈What a great actor - intense, versatile and prolific. Some highlights include Silent Running, Coming Home, The 'Burbs and Nebraska (for which he was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar and should have won, I reckon) ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

I watched Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) last night, an offbeat #comedy #drama written and directed by Miranda July. I doubt it's everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it was charming, kind of arty, a bit daring and bloody hilarious - I haven't laughed so hard for ages. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

The fantasy #comedy Big was released #OTD in 1988. Loved it when I was a kid and watched it every time it came on TV. Tom Hanks is great as Josh, the boy who transforms into an adult. Perfect family entertainment directed by Penny Marshall (who is rarely mentioned these days😕). #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

"Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." Dead Poets Society was released #OTD in 1989. What a great film, and what a brilliant performance by Robin Williams ❤️ #Filmsky #Moviesky #ComingOfAge #ClassicMovies 📽️

Just watched Marty Supreme. What a performance by Chalamet as the single-minded, manipulative, morally dubious, table tennis-playing Marty - a guy who's a bit of a dick but has enough charisma to keep us on his side (well, maybe not all of us). Fun, quirky and original. 🏓 #Moviesky #Filmsky 📽️

Marilyn Monroe was born #OTD in 1926. I'm totally in love with her ❤️ Photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt #Filmsky #Moviesky #Marilyn #models
