Baby’s Day Out
Read more: Baby’s Day OutAs anyone who has read my in-depth review of Beethoven knows, family movies from the 1990s are often covert founts of darkness and despair, sometimes to the point that it is nigh impossible to see them any other way. Another great example of this curious phenomenon is the 1994 film Baby’s Day Out, which depicts…

All Is True
Read more: All Is TrueIn his autobiography LittleWilson and Big God, Anthony Burgess ( for those of you who did not know, his complete name was John Anthony Burgess Wilson. Furthermore, for those of you who do not know, he was author of A Clockwork Orange, Tremor in Intent, The End of the World News, among many other novels,…

Birdemic: Shock and Terror
Read more: Birdemic: Shock and TerrorBirdemic: Shock and Terror was clearly made without the benefit of anyone who knew absolutely anything about filmmaking within a hundred yards of the set. Witness production values and acting that make Tommy Wiseau’s notorious 2003 classic The Room look like a legitimate masterpiece. Witness sound editing and mixing apparently done by a pair of…

Matters of Survival: A Note on In a Lonely Place & Bigger Than Life
Read more: Matters of Survival: A Note on In a Lonely Place & Bigger Than LifeIn a Lonely Place (1950) and Bigger Than Life (1956), two of Nicholas Ray’s finest films, are about two men made to feel “ten feet tall” in order to survive. For Dixon Steele (Humphrey Bogart) in Place, it happens in a war; World War II, to be precise. For Ed Avery (James Mason) in Life,…

Beethoven (1992)
Read more: Beethoven (1992)Despite evidence to the contrary, much of it written by me, I am not a monster. Like virtually any human being, I have certainly been known to find dogs charming, but I am happy the building in which I live only allows cats because I would rather see my neighbors’ pets than hear them, and…

Carnival Of Souls (1962)
Read more: Carnival Of Souls (1962)Carnival of Souls is one of the 50 horror movies included in the Amazon movie bundle (still available!) that I purchased years ago. Most of those movies were more laughable than horror, and really cheesy affairs, like The Beast Of Yucca Flats. Others were well made and effective, even if they were on a low…

Darkon (2006)
Read more: Darkon (2006)Before I even begin to insult the participants in Darkon by giving them verbal swirlies and literary locker-stuffings, I must digress for a moment and recognize how tragic this whole thing is.

Ezra’s Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2020
Read more: Ezra’s Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2020Allow me to be the absolute first to say, 2020 was a strange year, and not least of all for movies. Beyond the fact that I no longer work in the industry after 20 years of doing almost nothing else for a living, there came a time about a month ago when critics began dropping…

The Trial of the Chicago Seven – A Few Good Men
Read more: The Trial of the Chicago Seven – A Few Good MenAs I write this, it is January 2021. A few days ago, rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, attempting a violent insurrection of the U.S government, fueled at its core by anger, hatred, and lies. That event is still very raw for us, and in some ways, it made watching this movie very uncomfortable. It sparked…

Diary Of A Serial Killer-aka Rough Draft (1998)
Read more: Diary Of A Serial Killer-aka Rough Draft (1998)Right from the opening frame of the 1998 straight-to-video thriller Diary of a Serial Killer (aka Rough Draft), it is obviously a cheesy affair. The score, with its heavy saxophone wailing and bombastic drum-machine track, feels more like something from the 80s than the late 90s, and the rest of the movie feels the same way. Our protagonist,…
