Automatically blocking any account that uses Harry Potter to farm engagement. It is time to move past Harry Potter as a society, we do not need to keep maintaining JK Rowling's cashflow or propping a series that actually is not very well written and chock full of offensive racial stereotypes and literary cliches.

The Ice Tower – The new film from Lucile Hadzihalilovic stars newcomer Clara Pacini as a runaway who comes across a film set and falls under the spell of Marian Cottilard's haughty Snow Queen actress. As with Innocence, this looks at children and the dark side of fairy tales. It has an appropriately glacial pace, and looks amazing, with dreamlike snowy sets, and incredible costumes.
Frankenstein – Look, I tried, OK? I haven’t liked any of GdT's films but I really wanted to like this, but despite all the bluster it’s so boring. The over-obvious CGI makes you wonder if anything is real in this film, and why you should care.
DEVO – Better than the usual rock group doc. I had no idea two of the members were at Kent State during shootings, which pushed them into the philosophy of de-evolution that sparked their artistic careers.
A Little Prayer - David Strathairn plays a man grappling with whether he should tell his daughter-in-law that her husband is having an affair. The scenes he shares with Jane Levy are terrific. The film is a small one, but excellent performances carry it.

Hedda – Wow, this is good. Tessa Thompson plays the titular character in Nia da Costa's queering of Ibsen's classic, transposed to an English country house. She's in the same section of the Venn diagram as Kate Beckinsale's character in love and Friendship; manipulative, witty, cruel. Nina Hoss is stunning, as always, and Imogen Poots shows real depth. It’s a shame this has dribbled out onto Amazon Prime here in the UK, I'd have loved to have seen it on the big screen.
Ballad of a Small Player - Edward Berger’s follow-up to Conclave stars Colin Farrell as a desperate gambler in Macau. Farrell is excellent, and the film looks great, but sadly there’s something missing at the heart of this. Tilda Swinton dresses up again. Worth watching, though, and if you do, stick around for the credits.
Stiller and Meara - Ben and Amy Stiller’s doc about their parents, Jerry Stiller and Anna Meara, is a heartfelt and entertaining, if overlong, dissection of their parents’ relationship and its effect on them. Worth it for the footage of the young Stiller children absolutely butchering their violin playing on an episode of the Mike Douglas Show, which made me laugh more than anything else this year.
Passing Summer- Second viewing of Angela Schsnalec’s story of a woman’s summer. Makes the quotidian seem earth-shattering. Stunning.

Just before CiviCamp I finished a long piece about the #Fediverse and #creative sector brewing for five years.
Its main target is an audience not on here (yet) & suggests decentralised web protocols could help restore the human side to media distribution we’ve swapped for algorithms: the video store clerk, art house programmer and indie record shop.
For everyone else it maybe sheds light on the limits of the streaming giants, hosting < 2% of feature #films ever made:
“Diamond Diplomacy,” directed by Yuriko Gamo Romer, explores how Japan's love of America's pastime was so strong that even as it fought the U.S. in World War II, baseball continued to be played. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/16/baseball/baseball-film-yuriko-gamo-romer-japan-usa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #masanorimurakami #japan #unitedstates #films #documentaries

Ok after some back room magic I can now confirm The Correspondent film will be arriving on Netflix this Friday. I think it would only be in Australia but no way of knowing.🤷♂️
This is a feature movie for which I composed a fully electronic soundtrack and fuck yeah. 👍🏻 #movies #films #soundtrack
