I think it's safe to say that I'll probably never hate a Scream movie at this point. I do really enjoy most of the directions Radio Silence are taking the franchise, and the more time I spend with the new core characters the more I genuinely enjoy them (even if certain plot points strain credulity). Six movies into the franchise at this point it must be difficult to really innovate, but this version of the now iconic opening scene achieves…

It was a powder keg, and they were so ill prepared for what they were about to unleash, and lots of…

Mank 2020
I've said it before, but a David Fincher movie is like comfort food to me. It's such a delight to just watch someone who is so good at what they do. Thankfully Mank seems almost completely uninterested in the Raising Kane debate. In fact, this has far more to do with Fincher's own trials and tribulations trying to work in the Hollywood system than it does with who authored the movie.
I'll try and not say too much because I…
