Memorable Movie Directors and Writers: Paul Schrader: Part 2
Read more: Memorable Movie Directors and Writers: Paul Schrader: Part 2The biographies: Raging Bull (1980), Mishima (1985), Patty Hearst (1988) & Auto Focus (2002) Raging Bull is an essential watch, but it’s the kind of unsentimental, uncomfortable two hours that’s easier to admire than love. Jake LaMotta (De Niro) is an archetypal angry, destructive and self-destructive Schraderian character, although he stops short of being suicidal.…

Memorable Directors: Brian De Palma: Part 2
Read more: Memorable Directors: Brian De Palma: Part 2The Heaven’s Gate moment: Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) Do you ever avoid a flick because the critics pissed on it? You know, stuff like Ishtar and Battlefield Earth. The laughable quality of these efforts is so taken for granted that they’re only supposed to be trundled out if a snigger fest is required. I…

Memorable Directors: Brian De Palma: Part One
Read more: Memorable Directors: Brian De Palma: Part OneThere’s only one way to describe Brian De Palma’s five-decade-long career: all over the shop. There have been glorious artistic highs, far too many Hitchcockian homages, the odd mainstream megahit, a sprinkling of high-profile awards, condemnation for tawdry subject matter, a pronounced tendency to work with the same collaborators both in front of and behind…

Armageddon Time
Read more: Armageddon Time“Armageddon Time” – What was I saying? The IMDb synopsis of Armageddon Time is “A deeply personal coming-of-age story about the strength of family and the generational pursuit of the American Dream.” The movie poster for Armageddon Time features the tagline “The end of an era. The beginning of everything.” Such grandiose statements sound like…

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile
Read more: Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile“Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” – You’re right, no human being would stack books like that. Raise your hand if you’ve heard of the children’s book Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. Okay…raise your hand if you’ve heard of the upcoming film of the same title. Ummm…raise your hand just so I know you are still conscious. Phew! You had…

Don’t Worry Darling
Read more: Don’t Worry Darling“Don’t Worry Darling” – Is dinner ready yet? Don’t Worry Darling is exactly the kind of movie that drove me to writing movie reviews. It’s a movie that is decent to watch the first time, but whose story immediately crumbles to dust upon even the slightest bit of scrutiny. It continues to astound and confound…

The Exorcist: Theatrical or Extended Cut?
Read more: The Exorcist: Theatrical or Extended Cut?Considering that he also made The French Connection and To Live and Die in LA before and since, quite why William Friedkin continued to appear at speaking engagements featuring The Exorcist, decades after the fact, is a matter of trivia that perplexed me without spurring a thirst for answers. I devoured the extras and featurettes,…

Memorable Movie Scenes: Part One
Read more: Memorable Movie Scenes: Part OneMovie: Once Upon A Time In The West This is it, folks. This is the HOLY GRAIL of Western Movie scenes. This is the face-off between Harmonica (Charles Bronson) and Frank (Henry Fonda) and is a scene that is surreal and almost supernatural in its drama. The brilliant musical score, the panoramic shots of the…

Pearl (2022)
Read more: Pearl (2022)“Pearl” – Houston, we have a problem. When I walked out of the theater after watching Pearl, my initial response to “what did you think?” was “I was bored.” What I couldn’t articulate at the time was why I found the film boring. On the drive home, my thoughts kept circling around the fact that…
