Hill Bent


I want to say I've kinda had it with Jonah Hill, but I never NOT kinda had it, (if you can parse that.) He was my least favorite part of "Superbad"- and "Superbad" was the one moment I did not find him intolerable. His appeal eludes/… Read full post »

More Thievery

Two more great movies about thieves: Michael Mann's tight "Thief," with a spicy script and one of James Caan's best performances as a high-stakes jewel thief drawn in for one last score. It has the bones of a cliche, but the flesh is full of life, particularly when Caan

Ronson, Son!

ABOVE: Micky played guitar. The boiling genius of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders of Mars"spills right off the pot into "Slaughter on 10th Avenue," one of the most absurdly neglected classics of 70s rock. Is that Bowie sounding a little off on an expansion pack/… Read full post »

Home is Where the Heart Is Ripped out of your Chest.

ABOVE: Her name is Josie Ho, which I think automatically makes her a star. Horror begins at home, which is why we keep on going back to the motif of our residential ghosts. "Dream Home" is a Hong Kong slasher by Pan Ho Cheung that asks the/… Read full post »

The Thieves of Baghdad

Time is not always kind to our fantasies.
1924's "The Thief of Bagdad," directed by Raoul Walsh, was outdone by a 1940s version that had 20 years of special effects to benefit from. It also had sound and color- and tales from the Arabian Nights need sound and color./

Life on Mars?

ABOVE: *sniff* Very moving, in context. "The Chimpanzee Complex" would be experienced by any creature intelligent enough to know they are part of an experiment they don't fully understand and can't control- resulting in angst, violence, existential confusion. Been there? Richard Marazano's graphi/… Read full post »

Between the Britons

ABOVE: Meet your new best friends. You're probably doing something or other, but stop it, and go watch "The Inbetweeners" NOW. I keep a shrine to "Freaks and Geeks" in a hallowed corner of my seldom-visited-by-girls bedroom, but "The Inbetweeners" is the funniest show ever made about/… Read full post »

Doctor Dee in The House

ABOVE: Dee-lovely. John Dee is now a footnote among Elizabethan aficionados. Newton greatly admired him. Shakespeare and Marlowe both partially modeled characters on him, (Prospero and Faustus, respectively.) In these latter times, the astrologer/alchemist/spy inspires a meta-metaphysical novel/

Bronson, Son!

ABOVE: Why was he punched? Because he happened to be at the end of  the fist. "Bronson" is a little bit of the old ultra-violence, a movie that reminded me (and everyone else) of "A Clockwork Orange" and "Raging Bull" in its aggressive depictions of strutting chaotic/… Read full post »

Largo Winch: License to Be Multi-Lingual



I love globalization, but does it have to have Largo Winch as its spokesman? Based on Jean Van Hamme's successful French comic book (or rather "bandes dessinees"), "Largo Winch: The Heir Apparent" is a sleek, grandiose movie that tries to encompass the entire world in what is essentially/… Read full post »

CONAN THE UNDERWHELMER

WHO-SSEIN?

ABOVE: "And over there is my sexy torture chamber. Where we'll practice Saddamy! Haha, just a little dictator humor, don't get nervous, baby!" True story: Saddam Hussein's son, Uday Hussein, picked a former classmate named Latif Hayia with similar facial features to serve as his double. When/… Read full post »
