A nice thing I just realised - almost 10 years ago, I posted the Anne Hathaway Catwoman cover of @empiremagazine on Instagram, back when I first became obsessed with magazines. Yesterday, I launched the cover reveal of Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman as part of team Empire. Life is wild!

Watched Spider-Man 2 for the first time last night and yes Doc Ock’s great and the hospital massacre is wild, but what’s stuck with me is the train passengers holding Peter. A tender, lovely beat that it feels like there’s less and less room for in these kinds of films?

Rewatched Spectre last night, not a fan. Gone for Casino Royale tonight and my god, it’s still *so good*. Eva Green, a sweaty Mads Mikkelsen, Craig’s having a blast, the parkour opener, everything at the casino… Fingers crossed #NoTimeToDie can get back to this brilliance 🤞🏻

A reminder for your HOTD coverage that Emma D’Arcy is non-binary and their pronouns are they/them. They state this on their Insta profile; it’s info that is easy to find. Have seen several publications getting this wrong over the past few days. Do better!

Had a lot of fun with @BenSTravis (and @HelenLOHara , not pictured!) at the Guardians Of The Galaxy Secret Cinema tonight. Great atmosphere and performances, and realised I like GOTG Vol. 2 a *lot* more than I remembered!

Had a good time with #FairPlay – super tense, really well-shot, and Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich are a great lead pair. Streaming on Netflix now! Read my review, for @empiremagazine :

Rewatched Atonement for the first time in ages, and had forgotten just how much of a masterpiece it is. Seeing it in the cinema at 15, and furiously reading the reviews after, really helped spark my love of film and writing about it. That heat, those blue eyes, that green dress.

Very excited to have reviewed new #StrangerThings for @empiremagazine – which, despite its flaws, is still an incredibly enjoyable return to Hawkins. Shoutout to Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill', its use of which in ep 4 made me full-on ugly cry 🥲

Thrilled to have written this piece on Zendaya, and how #Challengers sees her step into the spotlight on the big screen in a major new way. She is magic in that movie, and I can't wait to see what she does next. Have a read:

Bit late to share this month’s issue of @empiremagazine , but you’ll find me in there talking to #TurningRed director Domee Shi and reviewing Jacques Audiard’s new film Paris, 13th District. On a newsstand near you now 🌙

@bethanyrutter It’s just not a part of my life any more. The idea feels completely alien to me. Frustration at no plus ranges in store, frustration at the poor fit and design when there is, frustration that NONE of the few things I can find feel like something I want to wear.

The distinct mediocrity of Lightyear makes it even more enraging that Turning Red didn’t get a cinematic release, and its tenuous relationship to existing IP all the more cynical. If you fancy watching an animated movie this weekend, you can find Turning Red on Disney+ 👍🏻
