Movie Review: A Mother’s Past and Present Blur “When Fall is Coming”
François Ozon has to be the French cinema’s premier poker player. With his genre-bending/expectations-upending dramas (“Everything Went Fine”), dramedies (“In the House”), feminist comedies (“Potiche”) and musical drama mysteries (“8 Women”), you’d hate to be seated at the same table … Continue reading

Classic Film Review: A Reporter digs into government scandals real and staged — “Defence of the Realm” (1985)
It’s odd to think of the ’80s as a movie decade in which we can bandy the phrase “They don’t make’em like that any more” about. Hollywood’s blockbuster obsession almost wholly took over, and the roman numeralization of cinema “franchises” … Continue reading

Netflixable? Legendary Thai Gangster “Tee Yai” earns a Weak Tea Action Bio-pic, “Born to be Bad”
For a trigger-happy bank robber, convincing the public and cops that your exploits are “magical,” that you have supernatural protections, would seem like the ultimate edge. Convince law enforcement that bullets pass right through you, that arresting and handcuffing is … Continue reading

Movie Review: An Indie Gem from Opiod Appalachia — “Hazard”
Ruined, emptied-out towns filled with rusting hulks of their mining past, long-shuttered storefronts, mobile homes twenty years past their expiration date, kudzu-overgrown Little League fields and locals who know they’re trapped even if they don’t know that ATV they just … Continue reading

N.C. Symphony goes “Psycho?”
What record is sitting on the turntable in Norman Bates’ room on his mother’s motel? Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony. The kinky bugger. He had a Napoleon complex — Lovely Ludwing Van had a flirtation many artsy anti monarchy Europeans shared when … Continue reading
