    If you’re on X, you’ve already seen some version of #Eddington, but Ari Aster’s latest offers a chilling reminder that a look at 2020 is relevant today.

    Ari Aster's latest, @eddingtonmovie, hits theatres Ari Aster's latest, @eddingtonmovie, hits theatres today.

Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, the film is a western-thriller-political satire set in the titular fictional southern town. Or as Aster himself said of the premise, it takes a look at "what is it like to be living IN the Internet?" What would it look like to bring those online arguments into real life?

Our critic @alexsouthey takes a look at how successful the final film is at conveying Aster's vision.

    15 years ago, Christopher Nolan made us question r 15 years ago, Christopher Nolan made us question reality, time, and whether that top ever stopped spinning. 🌀

From hallway fights that defy gravity to layers of dreams within dreams (within dreams), #Inception wasn't just a blockbuster, it was a brain-bending cultural moment. 🤯

A sci-fi heist, a tragic love story, and a puzzle box of epic proportions, Inception taught us one thing: ideas are the most resilient parasites.

Happy 15th to a film that still lives rent-free in our subconscious.

Did it all happen… or was it just a dream?

    Canadian auteur Denis Villeneuve is set to direct Canadian auteur Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the next James Bond film, according to @amazonmgmstudios. He will also serve as executive producer, alongside Tanya Lapointe, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman serving as producers. 

DV weighed in on the development with this quote: “Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since ‘Dr. No’ with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.”

There's been so much speculation about who will take over the lead role, it's great to see the spotlight shift to who will be steering the ship!

What do you think of the choice?

From its famously troublesome shark model, to that incredible shooting star and Srobert Shaw's memorable USS Indianapolis monologue, there's no shortage of stories that lend Steven Spielberg's thriller mythical status. But let's not forget one particular fact about the 1975 Universal classic (also starring Roy Schieder and Richard Dreyfuss) - it's a damn fine film.

    @tiff_net has announced that Colin Hanks' document @tiff_net has announced that Colin Hanks' documentary about hometown comedy icon John Candy will open this year's festival.

Director/Producer Hanks and Producer @vancityreynolds on the news: “When you hear the name John Candy, your face lights up. He wasn’t just a great actor; he was an even better person. People loved his everyman qualities, but they didn’t know how relatable John really was. He went through the same struggles we all do, except now we talk about them. We are incredibly honoured to have gotten to know the man better through this process and to bring the real John Candy to audiences starting with his hometown of Toronto.”

We cannot wait. What's your favourite comedic Candy moment?
