Dr. Suess’s Ron & Jim Ruined Christmas
Read more: Dr. Suess’s Ron & Jim Ruined ChristmasSeveral times while watching the Ron Howard-directed How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I found myself wondering, “Who is this even for?” At 105 minutes, it’s a bit on the long side for kids small enough to actually enjoy.

In the Heat of the Night (1967)
Read more: In the Heat of the Night (1967)There’s a brief scene in Norman Jewisons In the Heat of the Night that won’t send anyone scrambling for their film school textbook, but it’s quiet, gracious power never fails to move me. It’s not flashy, or inventive, or even startling, but its simplicity of tone and character reveals more in its few minutes than…

The Unsung: Howard Cosell, Bananas
Read more: The Unsung: Howard Cosell, BananasWhen Howard Cosell died on April 23, 1995, at the age of 77, the famed cadence of the world’s most indelible broadcaster was forever silenced. More than that, though, America lost its purpose, its very raison d’etre.

The Lost Boys

Starring Debuts #3: Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween (1978)
Read more: Starring Debuts #3: Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween (1978)The most surprising thing about Jamie Lee Curtis’ career-launching turn as Laurie Strode in this late seventies slasher is how dull she is for nearly all of it. And I don’t mean dull in an interesting way.
