My Review of ‘Ashes and Diamonds’ (1958)
WARNING: This review reveals a not-completely-unexpected kind of spoiler! So, proceed with that in mind. Thank you! 🙂 This is the kind of film that has so much to offer of whatever you look for in a movie—suspense, political intrigue, … Continue reading

A Brief, Weird Intermission
Hi, there! 🙂 Unfortunately, because YouTube is weird because someone up there hates me due to technical problems, we are unable to enjoy Part Four of The Great Flamarion. I cannot tell you how sorry I am. I feel I … Continue reading

My Review of ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’ (2019)
This movie starts with a black man shouting like an activist street performer. We are in San Francisco, by the bay, but it’s not the touristy part. Two guys are watching the shouting man, while waiting for a bus. This … Continue reading

My Review of ‘Seconds’ (1966)
Even though this film is pegged by Wikipedia as a “science-fiction drama”, it can definitely stray into horror territory at times. This story has all the earmarks of one of those “serious films” about middle-class conformity, midlife crises, and wives … Continue reading

My Review of ‘The Sign of the Ram’ (1948)
This movie gets its biggest distinction by featuring a wheelchair-bound actress in the lead role. The story of Susan Peters would make an excellent subject for an entirely separate post. Peters had acted for years and was married for a … Continue reading

Walter Huston in ‘The Treasure of the Sierra Madre’ for the ‘O Canada! Blogathon’
How to describe this movie. It’s an adventure film. It’s a drama. It’s a Western (or neo-Western). It is also a classic film and, as it happens, one of the first Hollywood movies to be shot on location outside the … Continue reading
My Review of ‘Birdman’ (2014)
It’s hard to know how to categorize this movie. Wikipedia calls it a “black comedy”, which I suppose it is. Along with parody, drama, fantasy, and satire. But then you’d expect something a bit different from a film with a … Continue reading

My Review of ‘The King’s Speech’ (2010)
In all honesty, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this movie before seeing it. I don’t watch a lot of historical drama, and I’m not into the whole Merchant Ivory oeuvre. But this film isn’t just any historical, nor … Continue reading

‘Smash-Up’ — Part Seven (The Last Part)
It’s with great relief a heavy heart my duty to announce that this will be the last part of the movie Smash-Up. All I can say is, it’s been real weird. So, without further ado, etc., here’s the final insult … Continue reading
