A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of The Thin Blue Line (1988) It is impossible for a documentary to be objective. It doesn’t matter how Cinema VeritΓ© it is, there are still a myriad of choices that influence the presentation from where the camera is pointed, to ...

True Crime Documentary before True Crime was really a thing.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Black Magic (1949) Black Magic is based on one of Alexandre Dumas’ lesser-known work about a man who started his life with the name Joseph Balsamo. He apparently existed in real life but Dumas chose to write about the m...

A part perfectly suited for Orson Welles in a movie that can’t capture what could have been.

A β˜…β˜…Β½ review of Thanksgiving (2023) In 2007 Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez released Grindhouse to theaters. It was an anthology meant to emulate the kinds of movies that pushed the envelope in violence, gore and taste that were ...

A slasher set around Thanksgiving is wide open real estate and if Eli Roth had delivered, this could have been a lot of people’s tradition.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of It Happened One Night (1934) I watched Gone with the Wind recently and it made me crave a rewatch of It Happened One Night. Although there were technically romantic comedies predating this film, none of them solidified the tropes...

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of The Sisters Brothers (2018) I remember the trailer for The Sisters Brothers back in 2018. They chose parts of the film that appeared to be slapstick instead of simple violence and they used a cover of the song β€œTainted Love.” Th...

A lame pun title and terrible marketing kept this engaging Western from getting the audience it deserved.

Cronenberg body horror, a Wright misstep, Dowdle big ideas in too small a package and a Flanagan change of pace.
