Alien
Posted on January 20, 2014 | No CommentsWe should be in the golden age of cinematic imagination, shouldn’t we? Computers should have unlocked the visual genius of dozens, maybe hundreds of filmmakers, who astonish us with incredibly […] -
Kandagawa Pervert Wars
Posted on January 12, 2014 | No CommentsIt’s not hard to see why the pornographers Kiyoshi Kurosawa was working for were none too pleased with his output. While it fits the parameters of the soft-core material – […] -

Jurassic Park
Posted on April 27, 2013 | No CommentsPerhaps this is snobby, I don’t know: As much as I love Indiana Jones, George Lucas & Steven Spielberg never gave him a perfect movie. And perfect movies can be […] -
Tequila Sunrise
Posted on March 14, 2013 | No CommentsHeavy on talk and short on stunts, Tequila Sunrise is an 80s crime flick that goes for a vibe – Casablanca, say, meets 8 Million Ways to Die – and […] -
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Posted on March 9, 2013 | No CommentsA downer. Lost is the original author James M. Cain’s voice and wit. He had a tough but light touch. The Bob Rafelson adaptation is plumb grim. It Mamet-izes the bare-faced […]
