It’s done. The Disney Renaissance season of INK & PAINT is finally written.
Ten films. Eleven episodes. 487 pages. Three years of work.
You bet I fuckin’ cried when I finished it.
Put down some words for @maketheswitchAU trying to make sense of the loss of David Lynch. Hopefully it’s even vaguely worthy of an artist who meant so much to so many and redefined what we thought cinema and television was capable of. maketheswitch.com.au/article…

A tragedy that Sayombhu Mukdeeprom shot the fuck out of four films this year and wasn’t nominated for any of them by his peers
ASC nominees for outstanding cinematographery in a theatrical feature film:
“Nosferatu”
“Wicked”
“The Brutalist”
“Conclave”
“Dune: Part Two”
“Maria” (Netflix)
“A Complete Unknown”

The fact there is no sign of a theatrical release of SING SING or NICKEL BOYS in Australia has gone from deeply frustrating to suspiciously conspicuous.

WALLACE & GROMIT - VENGEANCE MOST FOWL: Yet another slam-dunk for Aardman’s crown jewel. The story cracks with wit, the animation is sublime and the pastiche of noir cinema is, as always, pitch perfect. I laughed myself silly and gasped with delight. Give it the Oscar.
My ★★★★½ review of NOSFERATU, director Robert Eggers’ delicious and unsettling reimagining of the 1922 classic. There’s a primal, elemental force to this film that had me totally enthralled. A definite must-see. Check out my review at @maketheswitchAU maketheswitch.com.au/article…
Currently in that perfect window where Steven Spielberg and I are celebrating our birthdays at the same time.

My ★★★★ review of BETTER MAN, the biggest surprise of the year. This Robbie Williams biopic takes the biggest swing and hits an unexpectedly thrilling home run with bombastic musical sequences and genuine heart. Check out my review at @maketheswitchAU maketheswitch.com.au/article…

BETTER MAN: Um… this fuckin’ RULES. Wonderfully imaginative, surprisingly moving, endlessly electrifying. The central conceit frees it from having to be conventional, an opportunity it fully embraces. There were moments I almost applauded. The unexpected surprise of the year.
