Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore Enthrall
By: - Oct 05th, 2024Pedro Almodovar will receive the 2025 Chaplin Award at Lincoln Center next spring. Some say he cannot make a bad movie. Certainly the painterly frames of each scene in his new film,The Room Next Door, are worthy of inclusion in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum and MOMA. Is their purpose, in this film, to distance us in time from the subject of the film, euthanasia?

It Follows Reboots the Horror Film
Details the Nightmare of Adolescence
By: - Apr 22nd, 2015Horror movies tend to stay with us for longer than we want. Not like the usual emotion-provoking film where we think about it intensely and with nostalgia, wanting to see it again to remember all the feels that came with it. Horror movies, typically have a different type of feels that manifest themselves in screams, intense heartbeat, jumping, and the general inability to sleep with the lights off because if you don’t keep your eyes at the edge of your bed at every minute, a infant demon with black eyes will show up.

The Interview BFD
Cutting Kim Jong-un a New One
By: - Jan 31st, 2015As a teenager I read the books and watched the movies banned by the Catholic Church. It served as a kind of entertainment guide. That was pretty much the motive in seeing The Interview. It pissed off North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. That led to hacking Sony Pictures which chickened out on and then fudged its release. Curious about the threats and hype we watched it on Netflix. Yawn.
