My Review of ‘A Kiss Before Dying’ (1956)
In many ways, this movie reminded me of A Place in the Sun, a film I’ve mentioned in a previous blog post. Except instead of a man from a humble poor family falling for the daughter of his wealthy employer … Continue reading

My Review of ‘Malone’ (1987)

My Review of ‘This Gun for Hire’ (1942)

My Review of ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’ (2018)

My Review of ‘Thief’ (1981)
I happened across this film by accident one evening, and was instantly drawn in by the description. It’s one of those heist movies in which the protagonist is a professional criminal who wants to make one last big score before … Continue reading

My Review of ‘Nox’ (2019)
I’m always awed when someone can tell a complex story in a short time. The film Nox is an excellent example of that. The opening shots of a nighttime vista of water and woods sweep across the screen, with the … Continue reading

My Review of ‘Trouble Is My Business’ (2018)
One of the nice things about Trouble Is My Business is that it makes no bones about exactly what it is. Clearly, the film is a love letter to the movies of yesteryear—specifically, those in the film noir style. Having … Continue reading
