DR. SLEEP

DR. SLEEP

Click here for the flashback interview with Ewan McGregor for SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN. DR. SLEEP, the sequel to THE SHINING, faced several issues in being brought to the screen, and has done so with a neat aplomb. The original film veered wildly from its source material as Stanley Kubrick adapted it to fit… Read More »

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

And so we discover with TERMINATOR: DARK FATE that time is not an endless loop where events repeat zoetrope fashion. Rather it is a curly-cue, not unlike a fusilli. So it is that in this version of the saga, the apocalypse that was/will be Skynet never happened, and John Connor is a name unknown in… Read More »

RAMBO: LAST BLOOD

RAMBO: LAST BLOOD

And so we have, putatively, come to the end of the John Rambo saga.  What began as a popcorn flick with a few hard-edged lobs at the price of war on the psyche has, over the years, devolved into an ego massage for its standard-bearer, Sylvester Stallone. He returns as a greyer, more wizened Vietnam… Read More »

SPIDERMAN: FAR FROM HOME

SPIDERMAN: FAR FROM HOME

We learn many things in SPIDERMAN FAR FROM HOME. We learn that not only are the Dutch polyglots, but also that they are the nicest people on earth, even when a private jet is making hash of their iconic tulip fields. We learn that saving the planet is just as important as getting that first… Read More »

MEN IN BLACK INTERNATIONAL

MEN IN BLACK INTERNATIONAL

When a once profitable film franchise begins to fade, the studios that have reaped the benefits of same are left with little choice about how to handle it. With so much money at stake, both in ticket sales and ancillary merchandise on the line, they can’t just let it slip away with dignity. No, they… Read More »

DARK PHOENIX

DARK PHOENIX

Is this really how it all ends?  A ragged bit of doggerel to finish out the cinematic X-Men saga? Or at least this incarnation of same.  What started as a trenchant study of human nature at its best and worst, as well as a scathingly good time at the movies has, with DARK PHOENIX, devolved… Read More »

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS

June 2, 2019 By Leave a Comment

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS

For most of GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, the eponymous monsters pretty much go about their business without taking any notice of the small, scuttling humans that flee in their wake. For their part, the humans, when they are not scuttling, are providing the exposition between bouts of special effects eruptions. Hence, if you don’t… Read More »

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 — PARABELLUM

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 — PARABELLUM

There is no doubt that part of the appeal of an action film is the chance to see things out of the ordinary.  Like things being blown up real good, or brawls that shatter the laws of physics.  And so it is with JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM, based on the graphic novel series. … Read More »

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

AVENGERS: ENDGAME

The stakes have been raised so many times with event flicks that, when approaching one, hope is always tempered with experience about what to expect, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson. With AVENGERS: ENDGAME, though, hope wins out. The spectacle is everything it should be, and the story, of necessity a meandering thing, is nonetheless sustained by… Read More »

GLASS

January 18, 2019 By Leave a Comment

GLASS

We learn many things in M. Night Shyamalan’s GLASS.  We learn that the Philadelphia police department has an abysmal response time. We learn that a fully staffed psychiatric hospital has only two orderlies its employ. And we learn that James McAvoy still cries more manfully than any other actor working today.  Possibly ever. He is… Read More »
