How do you follow up BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS with a rep screening of the anime facemelter REDLINE hosted by the co-writer Yoshiki Sakurai @fantasiafestival.com
My biggest surprise of the fest so far has to be BREAK FREE. It’s like SHALL WE DANCE, but with TikTok and the Yakuza. When the Mikami clan is down on its luck, a gruff enforcer — is forced to turn influencer to save the clan. Hilarious and charming as hell! @fantasiafestival.com
Dating sucks and it’s near impossible for two over 30 virgins, who happen to be manga artists. CHERRY AND VIRGIN is a hyper stylized dramedy, that masterfully manages to capture the good and the bad and how everyone has a different perspective. @fantasiafestival.com
Next up: THE ORIGIN OF ULTRAMAN. I love that Fantasia puts up physical posters at venues.
Continuing my day at Fantasia with MASTERCLASS: NICOLAS WINDING REFN #fantasia2026
Interview coming soon, got to dig pretty deep into HER PRIVATE HELL with its director Nicolas Winding Refn thanks to the Fantasia Film festival. #fantasia2026 #herprivatehell #NicolasWindingRefn
“Where would you like to be seated?” By the alter of evil please. At the Coffin Bar in Lancaster, PA for a Sunday family lunch.
Spent my afternoon at the Ambler theater listening to TCM host Alicia Malone and TCM writer Hannah Jack discuss how they craft the intros for the channel.
This had to be one of the best Philly Q&As ever. There were zero cringy questions from the audience, a great host, and a fully engaged filmmaker. It's like the planets aligned for one special night. #iloveboosters #neon #BootsRiley
🎬 Interview: Corin Hardy With Whistle now on VOD, here’s a clip of when I spoke with director Corin Hardy about building the film’s cursed mythology, crafting its brutal death sequences, and bringing the Aztec death whistle legend to life. Full interview here cinapse.co/2026/02/whis...
Horror documentaries on a Sunday - fire in the fireplace with a puppy on my lap.
First intermission and the added anime sequence alone was worth the price of admission as a fan.What I thought would be a blink and you miss it addition, is one hell of nail biter of an action set piece in an elevator with Oren hunting boss Mosimoto’s second in command. #KillBilltheWholeBloodyAffair
#NowSeated for #KillBilltheWholeBloodyAffair on 35mm at the Philadelphia Film Center @phillyfilmsociety.bsky.social
