LOUDMOUTH — Josh Alexander Interview

Click here to listen to the interview. The first thing to know about Josh Alexander’s documentary on the Rev. Al Sharpton is that it was the Rev himself who picked the title. That came up early on in my conversation with Alexander on December 1, 2022. One thing I appreciated in Alexander’s insightful and incisive… Read More »

HITMAN

Sometimes all it takes is one great image. From there the fertile imaginings of a visionary filmmaker can build a story that is a compelling, even wondrous, cinematic experience.

REVOLVER

REVOLVER

Caution! Guy Ritchie has entered his Bergman phase. Ingmar Bergman. Having stylishly plumbed the depths of the action genre with his dazzling visual style and staccato pacing as crisp as the wrong end of a machine gun, he has decided to attempt something more.
