My review of "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" is now up, and I'm not going to ruin anything except to say, "Who likes Skittles?" Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #shazamfuryofthegods #shazam⚡ #zacharylevi #helenmirren #lucyliu #rachelzegler Today's "During World War Two" post is about John Ford's exploits in the United States Navy, especially when he made a certain film at a certain battle that turned out to be much bigger than he thought. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #classichollywood #johnford #midwayisland #wwii Just saw this, so yeah, look for my Substack review tomorrow. #shazam⚡ #shazamfuryofthegods Even BarbIe gets to sleep in. 😃 My Pick My Movie Tag is floating around the blogosphere, and my friend, @18cinemalane has tagged me in to review a vampire movie made after the 60s. Click the link in my bio and Stories to see what I found. #blogsofinstagram #theboywhocriedwerewolf #brookeshields #chaseellison #victoriajustice #mattwinston #kerryjames Thanks again for a great evening, @littlemk_, @william_j_little, and @sharethistime! The cheesecake was even better the second day. Today's Substack post is about "Kimi," a very interesting 2022 film about an agoraphobic tech worker who hears a rape on a data stream. Who's seen this one? Link in Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #kimi #zoekravitz #byronbowers #ritawilson #ericachristensen #emilykuroda Today on Substack we're looking at the Academy Award-winning film, "Navalny," about the Russian opposition party leader who's currently in prison for political reasons. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #navalny #alexeinavalny #danielroher It's time for the Buster Keaton Blogathon again, and Taking Up Room is looking at the 1931 romcom, "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," which is about a hapless sign-hanger who gets roped into posing as a bad boy. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #classichollywood #parlorbedroomandbath #busterkeaton #charlottegreenwood
