“Forgive the groan-worthy pun, but the pirate film genre was dead in the water by this point. Cutthroat Island was the most recent big-budget pirate film, and it was a notorious bomb in 1995. More ominous signs loomed over Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl prior to its release. H” read more
“Mystique and contradictory impulses abound in Eyes Wide Shut, the final film from cinematic master Stanley Kubrick. Is everything we are witnessing but a strange dream, a stroll through the subterranean sexual lives of Manhattanites both rich and poor, or is this happening in real time? Does it real” read more
“Operating under the logic of dreams, with everyone delivering their dialog at a sleepy pace, Liebestraum is a series of beautiful images signifying nothing of interest. All it offers is moody and stylish surfaces, interminable verbal exchanges about architectural designs, and a central mystery that ” read more

“Agatha Christie’s star-studded film adaptations are perfect excuses for slumming movie stars to have a bit of fun with a polite murder-mystery story.

“Given the creative team behind this, many of the major players of the kitsch-minor classic 70s King Kong, I was ready to view The White Buffalo as a kissing cousin to that oddity. Imagine my surprise when I finished watching it only to discover a film of great promise and premise, undercut only by i” read more
“Perhaps I should be kinder and grade this hokum, C-list television movie for what it is, but I can’t muster up that sympathy. Satan’s Triangle is nothing you haven’t seen before, better, scarier, more believably played elsewhere, anywhere else, honestly. A little bit of the occult, a little bi” read more
“After 1960, Kim Novak lost interest in being a movie star and her film appearances became sporadic. By 1973 she hadn’t made a movie in four years. Then she appeared in Tales That Witness Madness and this film, her television debut. While her performance was self-conscious and monotone (essentially” read more
“An anthology of horrors, Tales That Witness Madness is minor to the point of anemia with one-note, passive performances, predictable stories, and yet it’s still entertaining in its limited way. There’s a few moments of deadpan humor in here, but this strength is frustratingly underdeveloped, lik” read more
