Read more: The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001)In her relatively small, but pivotal, role as Birdy Abundus (what a name!) in The Man Who Wasn’t There, she not only beguiled Billy Bob Thortons cuckolded, confused, and revengeful barber Ed Crane, but a much younger yours truly. It was a mature, impressive performance which hinted at the star she would become. It is…

Read more: Overlord (2018)OVERLORD Overlord should get an Academy Award for blowing up stuff “real good.” This includes planes, vehicles, buildings, people, and the (relatively restrained) budget. BAD ROBOT is one of the producers, and that usually means quality. The movie begins promisingly with a World War 2 shot that rivals TORA! TORA! TORA! (1970) in terms of…

Read more: Deck The Halls (2006)[The Goat Chimes in pre-review] Deck The Halls (2006) is a delightfully funny Christmas Movie starring Danny Devito, Matthew Broderick and Kristin Davis.
