With the arrival of DISCLOSURE DAY, @nellminow.bsky.social takes a look at what Roger Ebert thought about some of the most famous and infamous alien movies, from the inspiring and friendly to the terrorizing and murderous, and from the big-budget blockbusters to the quieter gems:
The RogerEbert team sounds off on twenty of best films of the year so far, featuring bone temples, a big swing from Boots Riley, a BDSM fairy tale, furniture body swaps, & a wooly whodunit:
“This is a whooping-and-hollering movie. It’s more than satisfying. It’s bloody heaven."
@mattzollerseitz in his 4/4 star review of THE FURIOUS, whose aesthetic he describes as "Looney Tunes in a slaughterhouse.” In theaters now:
“We’re lucky enough to have a studio like Cinema Fantasma creating wholly original works ... offering up a fantastic world that promises limitless tales and possibilities."

I got to wax rhapsodic about two of my faves of the year (so far) for @ebertvoices.bsky.social: Come read my words on 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE (Ralph Fiennes dancing to Iron Maiden!) and BY DESIGN (Juliette Lewis as a chair!)

I regret to inform everyone that I did not like #EveryYearAfter, an overly long, convoluted romance whose non linear format makes its characters feel weirdly stuck and directionless. My review at @ebertvoices.bsky.social:
