It’s a Wonderful Night of the Living Dead Is the Most Delightfully Unhinged Mashup I’ve Seen in Years

Taylor Holmes — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 05:09:19 +0000

Too few people know about this amazing short film… and this short film makes me extraordinarily happy that it exists. And you need to be happy that it exists as well. So yeah, there is an eight minute magical short film called It’s a Wonderful Night of the Living Dead, and it does exactly what the title promises. George Bailey is standing on that bridge in Bedford Falls, the whole town is decked out for Christmas Eve, and then the […]

How Fan-Made Mods Keep Classic Games Alive

Taylor Holmes — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 22:39:29 +0000

Some people still play games from the late 90s. Some of those games even have working servers. The studios behind them moved on years ago. Updates stopped. Support pages vanished. Nobody was bringing those games back. But the players weren’t done. A few people on a forum kept fixing bugs, updating files and paying for servers themselves. No budget. Sometimes no money at all. Nobody paid them. They just liked the game and didn’t want to lose it. Three Things […]

After the Credits Roll: Multiplayer Games for Film Fans

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 11:35:07 +0000

You finish a good film and there’s that little dip. Two hours in that world, then back to the sofa, and it’s over. Games fix that. You get to stay in the place the film built. And with friends, you get to stay in it together. Some of it is official. Some of it is players building the film themselves, which often turns out better. The Official Ones A few franchises did this properly, not just slapped a logo on […]

Richard Zelniker’s The Vortex: A Comedian Against Addiction in the Heart of Las Vegas

Taylor Holmes — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 16:59:15 +0000

Written and directed by Richard Zelniker, The Vortex places its protagonist at the very epicenter of self-destruction. Pete Finnegan, a stand-up comedian played by Billy Gardell, is drowning in debt and sees no way out other than feeding coins into a slot machine again and again. His life has collapsed down to the flickering screen of a slot machine and a desperate belief that the next spin will be the one that saves him. The MGM Grand Fire as Backdrop […]

The Social Reckoning Is Perfectly Written and Perfectly Late

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 04:14:14 +0000

I need to tell you up front that I am an enormous, unapologetic Aaron Sorkin fan. I’ve watched West Wing beginning to end three or four times. Moneyball is magic. Molly’s Game is criminally underrated. Chicago 7 is just brilliantly written, start to finish. And The Social Network, the first one, is about as close to a perfect movie as exists. Screenplay, acting, score, all of it. So when I tell you that The Social Reckoning did not work for […]

This Year’s Fantastic Fest Recommendations

Taylor Holmes — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 22:45:18 +0000

So here’s the thing about Fantastic Fest. Every year I tell myself this is the year I finally make it down to Austin, and every year life happens and I end up refreshing Letterboxd like a sad little kid with his face pressed against the candy store window. But this year I have a secret weapon. Matt, one of the regulars over on our Discord, actually went. And not like “caught a couple screenings” went. He went full marathon, absolutely […]

Why Digital Games Keep Borrowing the Visual Grammar of Movies

Taylor Holmes — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 15:02:09 +0000

Games and films no longer exist in separate visual worlds. Modern games use framing, lighting, performance capture, editing, and camera movement that audiences recognize from cinema. At the same time, filmmakers increasingly borrow structures and perspectives from interactive media. This exchange does not mean that the two mediums are becoming the same. Instead, it highlights a challenge they share: guiding attention through moving images while helping audiences understand the space, characters, and action. Cinema provided a ready-made vocabulary Film spent […]

Redux Redux Might Be the Best Multiverse Movie Nobody Has Seen

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 15:20:12 +0000

I need to lead with this. Everyone needs to be watching Redux Redux. Not “you might like this one,” not “worth a watch if you’re into the genre,” everyone. I loved absolutely everything about this movie, and I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how to convey that without just repeating the word “loved” fifteen times, so let me try it this way instead. The closest thing I’ve seen to Redux Redux is the movie Coherence. If you’ve read […]
