'Supergirl' Review

We met Milly Alcock's Supergirl in last year's Superman. Now she has her own movie. Does the character have a future? I have some thoughts over at Screen International. 

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Toy Story 5,' 'The Death of Robin Hood' and 'The Last Temptation of Christ'

Animation and death run rampant on this week's episode. Will and I compare notes on Toy Story 5 while wondering what went wrong with Hugh Jackman's dark take on Robin Hood. Then, in our Reboot segment, we go back to 1988 to discuss Martin Scorsese's controversial The Last Temptation of Christ. Lots of good stuff here, which you can hear down below.

Transilvania 2026: 'Lionel' Review

Lionel just won the top prize at the Transilvania Film Festival. It has a fetching premise, telling the story of a father and son who don't see eye to eye, starring an actual father and son who don't see eye to eye. My review is now live at Screen International.

'Rose of Nevada' Review

Mark Jenkin's Rose of Nevada is a stunner. My review is up at the Los Angeles Times. 

Perfume Genius - "It's a Mirror"

I'll be out of town this weekend. Hopefully nothing that occurs in this video will happen to me while I'm gone.

'Toy Story 5' Review

Pixar's best franchise is now five-for-five. For Screen International, I reviewed the delightful, moving Toy Story 5. 

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Disclosure Day' and 'Dazed and Confused'

We only cover two movies in this episode, but they're both pretty meaty. First up is Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day. Then, in our Reboot segment, we revisit Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused, which I haven't seen since its opening weekend back in 1993. Hear our thoughts down below. 

'The Little Sister' Review

For the Los Angeles Times, I reviewed The Little Sister, which won Best Actress and the Queer Palm at last year's Cannes. It stars newcomer Nadia Melliti as a Muslim teen living in France who realizes she's attracted to women. How will that affect her close relationship with her family? You can read my thoughts on this graceful drama here. 

Queen - "Radio Ga Ga"

Growing up in the Midwest, I must have heard Queen hits like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You" approximately 10 million times. But "Radio Ga Ga," which itself was a hit, came to me later in life. And because it doesn't feel overplayed, it retains its charm, funkiness and heart. Also, dig that Metropolis-inspired music video. 

'The Death of Robin Hood' Review

After making Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, writer-director Michael Sarnoski returns with a dark take on Robin Hood. For Screen International, I reviewed The Death of Robin Hood.
