During the Civil War, somewhere in the state of Louisiana, a Union soldier John McBirney (Clint Eastwood) is seriously injured in battle and on the verge of succumbing to his wounds. Luckily he is discovered by a young girl Amy (Pamelyn Ferdin) who is able to get him back to the all girls boarding school run by Ms. Martha Farnsworth (Geraldine Page) where she resides. As McBirney slowly recuperates with [read...] 
I first became aware of the rotund character actor Victor Buono from his role as the comical schizoid villain King Tut on the 1960s Batman TV series. Ever since I’ve been a fan, regarding Mr. Buono as one of those special personalities that you can never quite pin down or know really well. The kind that are forever part of that “unique eccentrics” category in your film geek world. Burt [read...] 
PSYCHO (1960, Dir: Alfred Hitchcock) When the “Master of Suspense” set out to make this movie it was to be a modest, low budget thriller shot by the crew of his popular TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. As with almost all of his projects, it soon became something much more cinematically powerful and resonant. Psycho was based on the book of the same title by author Robert Bloch (which also [read...] 
Two college students named Alexia (Maiwenn) and Marie (Cecile DeFrance) are traveling to Alexia’s home in the French countryside so they can study in peace. As they ride along on the sunny day they discuss their lives, boys and sex, you know, the usual girl chat. Flash to a truck parked in an empty lot. We see a woman giving oral pleasure to a man. We hear a grunt and [read...] 
In our second article on David Fincher, guest author Marcos Rodriguez takes a critical look at The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Read Peter’s analysis of The Game and Fight Club from yesterday. Let me begin with a coda: I am not a fan of David Fincher. At all. Which isn’t to suggest I don’t respect him (thanks “Kill Bill Vol. 1″). As cold and mechanical as they may feel [read...] 
FILM REVIEW In between making his hit films The Godfather Parts 1 and 2, Francis Ford Coppola chose to develop an original screenplay he had written several years earlier. This was, like his 1969 film The Rain People another of his smaller, more personal works and very much an example of the kind of movie he wanted to continue to do throughout his career. The Conversation was inspired in [read...] 
John Cusack is one of those actors I grew up watching. What a great career he’s had from the 80s teen classics like Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer and Say Anything to modern offbeat films like Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity and The Ice Harvest. In The Raven Cusack takes on what is sure to be one of his most unique starring roles as the author Edgar Allen Poe. [read...] 
Music Composed by John Williams, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra With his 1978 supernatural action-thriller The Fury, Director Brian DePalma dealt with a subject he had explored previously in Carrie: telekinesis. The story involves a newly retired special government agent named Peter Sandza (Kirk Douglas) whose teenage son Robin (Andrew Stevens) has special powers (although we aren’t sure exactly what they are at first). It’s soon apparent after [read...] 
After making the cult oddities, Cul De Sac, and The Fearless Vampire Killers Roman Polanski directed his first big Hollywood production and a film that would become one of his most famous horror-thrillers. Based on the novel by Ira Levin, the story follows young newlyweds Guy (John Cassavetes) and Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow) as they move into the Bramford, a 19th century apartment building in New York City. Satanic Scrabble [read...] 
Throughout the 60s and 70s Britain’s Hammer Studios produced some of the all time greatest horror and science fiction genre films of their time so I was really pleased to see the HAMMER logo fade up before the start of this psychological thriller. Juliet Devreau (Hillary Swank) is an ER doctor, her daily regimen is very stressful and she loves to exercise by running in the park to stay in [read...] |
