After a decade of auteur focused film-making in the seventies helped bridge the path past its golden age, and a blockbuster and franchise dominated eighties helped it to start making big money at the...
The eighties? This decade’s films attracted me with over-the-top adventure and bone-chilling horror with some comedy mixed in and one drama.
Women who grew up idolizing Leia in Star Wars wanted something MORE than just Leia swooning and dying from a malignant case of motherhood.
So with all that griping out of the way, time for some positivist so let’s take a look at some of the best films the seventies had to offer
As a scientist, I know everything in the Star Wars universe is ridiculous, impractical and overblown. And I don’t care one bit.
I’m now half-way through this series and I truly hope I have given out some new titles for others to discover as I go through this list.
The 1950s, an era in which Hollywood’s golden age began to slowly fade away, it seems my favorite movies from this decade tend to be human dramas
A decade in which Hollywood found itself joining the war effort, and those films were regarded as some of the most enduring of the decade by classic movie fans to this day.
It seems timely, as so many folks are finding their lives upended, that dealing with crisis with questionable leadership is a vital lesson to consider.
If the 1920s established film as a way for Americans to pass the time, the 1930s established its celebrity and its integration into the fabric of American culture
A symptom of rising crime and falling standards in a spiraling society. Or—sometimes—a symbol of nothing at all.
I realized that I’ve seen at least one film from each year since 1920. So why not recommend my favorite film from each year from 1920 to modern day?
These days, an Avengers product would be top of the line. However, back in the mid-90s, the Avengers were decidedly second-class.
This week, I got to see a 16 mm screening of Michael Snow’s groundbreaking 1967 experimental film ‘Wavelength’ without knowing anything about the film or the director beforehand.
Subjective takes on four more Best Picture contenders: Marriage Story, The Irishman, Ford v. Ferrari, and Parasite.
The glitz! The glamour! The self-importance! Gearing up for the 92nd Academy Awards with slightly (okay, largely) irreverent impressions of: “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”, “1917”, “Jojo Rabbit”, and “Joker”.
With the nominees officially announced, I give my two cents with some personal takes, who i’d vote for, and what I think the likely winners will look like.
Heads up, dudes, YOU’RE the ones that can’t control yourselves, some of you. Why don’t you let me decide what I like and want for myself?
