Classic Film Review: An English Child’s Eye View of WWII — “Hope and Glory
There’s a glorious nostalgia to the great British director John Boorman’s World War II memoir, “Hope and Glory.” The sentiment is what sticks with you, a naive child’s memories of not the fear, violence and loss, but of the freedom, … Continue reading

Movie Review: You’ll feel “Sweet Relief” when this inept indie thriller is over
It’s a little known truth of indie film sets that the “indier” the film, the less likely you’ll be able to tell the cast from the crew when visiting the shoot. I came to this conclusion covering such low budget, … Continue reading

Classic Film Review: Pinter, Losey and Bogarde wind up the Clockwork Creepiness of “The Servant”(1963)
It’s been so long since I reviewed anything scripted by Nobel laureate Harold Pinter that I had to refresh my memory about the traits associated with the phrase “Pinteresque.” Let’s see, an “atmosphere of menace,” suspense and tension heightened by … Continue reading

Movie Preview: A “Found Footage” horror comedy about faking Bigfoot
Maybe it’s just me, but doesn’t it feel as if any “found footage” spoof should have come out, oh, 12-20 years ago? Of COURSE that title’s already been used (on a 2012 thriller, and a 2016 “3D” horror comedy). The … Continue reading

Movie Preview: Michelle Dockery’s not good with kids? “Please Don’t Feed the Children”
Giancarlo Esposito also stars in this limited release (June 27). Gotta wonder if the title’s a “Twilight Zone” tease, with “Downton” Dockery involved. She’d have no trouble giving off that vibe or pulling that off. Just saying.
