The "Weird" Western List
This genre (meaning the "weird western") is gradually unfolding as less of a great one and more of a sloppy one. For everything I really appreciate and love about the old timey...
This is unofficially official that I now dub Sayles’ Lone Star / Men With Guns / Limbo run in the 90s his Legacy Trilogy. While this 1997 film is the least pungent in its astounding finale, it’s...
A proclaimed dream gig for Nic Cage is reprising (on a technicality) the role of one of his greatest influences. The Nosferatu laden German-expressionism is abound in his eyes as he's always applied...
You can bet your next dolla I already bought my boy's sick cover of Maneater. I'm lukewarm on JLaw but she really kills it here taking on a role that changes relationship stereotypes. There's lots of...
Every few years my wife and I return to the Saw series as one of our cinematic bonds. She likes her Grey’s Anatomys, Brooklyns, The Phantom of the Operas, and Selenas (and honestly so do I), while...

Call this the “Tokyo Story Effect”.
The disappointment after watching this film is extra. Knowing Kore-eda is similar to Ozu (as the influence is more than clear), the best comparison is the Tokyo...

Jeremy Renner plays RL journalist Gary Webb, a man torn apart at the seems after deconstructing the trust between the American people and its government agencies. I guess one...
Love is an intangible thing and it is therefore fascinating to see it represented by other intangibles, symbolized by endearing hobbies that evoke inward machinations. 1939’s Intermezzo implements...
A film that provides pathos via a lead character connected to Star Trek in an endearing way, perhaps suggesting the comfort humans find in pop culture phenomena. A bit too...
Fear no more the heat o’ the sun / Nor the furious winter’s rages.
