New Reviews, CCFF, New Short Film!
Reviews of The Shrouds, Darkest Miriam and Secret Mall Apartment - along with my third short film, and links to get tickets for the Chicago Critics Film Festival!
New Reviews + New Short Film!
Two new movie reviews of Eric LaRue & Misericordia; both I highly recommend. In the coming weeks, more library-related new releases, CCFF and much more!
3 Blu-Rays, 2 Movie Reviews (March 2025)
Catching up with a slew of titles I've been meaning to sit down and write about, which includes 4K releases and a must-see new horror film now playing on Shudder!
What's Happening?!
A lot as usual - here's a summation of things to look forward to, things I've recently accomplished and surprise, surprise, lists!
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) (dir. Stanley Kubrick)
It's been hard to write about fiction lately. I wonder why? Well, there's another movie besides Idiocracy that seems to indicate where we're headed. No surprise, it's another Kubrick masterpiece.
Johnny Guitar (1954) (dir. Nicholas Ray)
I know I just wrote about Nicholas Ray's last film too, but I've watched this twice in one week in preparation for a new podcast about Westerns and I couldn't help but make this the next entry.
We Can't Go Home Again (1973) (dir. Nicholas Ray)
Final film from one of my favorite directors is as unhinged as it gets. It is not a film, in the ordinary sense of the word. More like lives flashing before your eyes, including the director's own.
