As we move closer to awards season, I’ve been crossing some 2026 movies off my watch list.

In May 2025, I wrote about weird movie credits, specifically two of the oddest closing-credit sequences in film history: Harry Nilsson singing the credits at the end of Skidoo (1968) and a half-naked Bo Derek getting groped by an orangutan during the end…

Stimulants & Empathogens, directed by Polish filmmaker Mateusz Pacewicz, is one of the 11 films being screened.

Director Christopher Nolan with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema on the set of The Odyssey.

After 42 years, I finally watched Against All Odds (2 stars on 0-5 scale), the romantic neo-noir thriller directed by Taylor Hackford and starring Jeff Bridges, Rachel Ward and James Woods.

In what might amount to a seismic shift within Hollywood, Martin Scorsese has embraced the use of AI in film storyboarding.

The 35th annual Florida Film Festival ended last night with a 75th-anniversary screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train.

Good news!

The world’s Big Three film festivals, historically, are Venice (the world’s first), Cannes (arguably the best) and Berlin.
