Happy Oscars day. My ranking of the best picture nominees (which is in no way indicative of who I think will win):

It’s always a good day when you get to watch Casablanca for work.

I haven’t had time to write up a lot of full reviews lately, so who knows if I’ll get to it, but I saw The Father today and was blown away.

The Christian film industry is stepping it up a gear.

This arrived in the mail yesterday and I am devouring it (by the standards of a slow reader like myself). It is a really accessible, readable account of the way women were pushed out the film industry after having got on at the ground floor, and how their contributions were written out of history. Particularly interesting if you are familiar with the ‘traditional’ telling of film history that this provides a counterpoint to. Bravo @heleno84. I’ve got some classes to redraft for this semester. #womenvshollywood

Looks like I’m going to have to re-up that AppleTV+ subscription when the free year expires. Damn you Ted Lasso.

For the first time in, I don’t know, ever, the top three spots at the Australian box office are held by Australian films. With Long Story Short #LongStoryShort just released could it be four next week?

Raiders of the Lost Ark on 35mm at @hornsbyodeon

Shadow in the Cloud is sick! Came in not knowing what to expect and I loved it so hard. It has big B-movie energy and knows exactly what it is, but is so well executed. Some really cool storytelling choices. Moments of sublime stupidity, genuinely surprising twists and high-five-the-person-next-to-you action beats. Take a bow Roseanne Liang and Chloe Grace Moretz.
