The Killers - "Smile Like You Mean It"

I was never much of a Killers guy. All I could hear were the better bands they were referencing. But "Smile Like You Mean It" is my kind of nasty/dark pop song. 

'The Screen Podcast': Praising Sundance's Hidden Gems

Now that the early 2026 festivals are over, what under-the-radar films are worth keeping an eye out for down the road? I was on The Screen Podcast to discuss some of my Sundance favorites. (My colleagues Nikki Baughan and Wendy Ide appeared in a separate segment to share their picks from Berlin and elsewhere.) You can watch our episode below.

'Reminders of Him' Review

Tragic pasts. Forbidden love. Hunky guys. Pretty blondes. Rainstorms. Reminders of Him has everything. My review is live at Screen International.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The Bride!' and 'Hoppers' and Our Final Oscar Predictions

We have a big disagreement about The Bride! on this week's episode. Elsewhere, we look at the latest from Pixar. And then we try to figure out what's gonna win what at the Oscars. Lots of tough calls! Hear the whole show down below.

'Project Hail Mary' Review

Project Hail Mary is Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's first film since they were fired from Solo. Is it a return to form? My review is up at Screen International. 

Mylo - "In My Arms"

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Another 'Scream,' 'In the Blink of an Eye' and 'EPiC'

We are less than two weeks away from the Oscars. On our latest episode, though, we focus on new movies. We both disliked Scream 7 and In the Blink of an Eye. And then we got down with EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Check out our lively banter down below.

'Hoppers' Review

Hoppers is a nice course correction for Pixar, which hasn't had much luck with its original films in recent years. But I found this one funny, charming and touching. My review is here.
