Starcrash, 1978 - ★★½

Viewed with the Collab.
Time for a little robot chauvinism.
Another low-budget B-film that is best experienced with a group of friends dedicated to hear what ridiculous line will come out of some familiar face next. Christopher Plummer, David Hasselhoff, Joe Spinell, and Caroline Munro either look like they fluctuate between having fun and being in it for the paycheck. In fact, Plummer is on...

The Trouble with Angels, 1966 - ★★★½

Secret Mitchell #21 - For Joe Wilson
There are two filmic tropes that we've lost since the decade before New Hollywood took over. When the viewer meets Hayley Mills and June Harding for the first time as Mary and Rachel, we quickly learn about their current station in life. The young girls become friends through the crossroads of Mother Superior's domain. But there are multiple instances when...

The second entry to our "Philosophical Hitman" series comes from Ben, which as an odd turn of events, reveals myself as the Dacascos aficionado of the pod... what does that say?!? Add Crying Freeman to any of your autumnal vibes lists, production is grandiose. This entry follows Rian Johnson's Looper...

Thunderbirds Are GO, 1966 - ★★½

Viewed with the Collab.
Really neat production design unless marionettes and the uncanny valley bother you, Thunderbirds has that nostalgic appeal of the 60s and 70s caught in the hazy hangover (or active bender) of the space race. Mark the watch parties on your calendar for 2064 or 2066 which is when the film takes place. Maybe not so much by coincidence, I can see Matt Stone and Trey Parker...

The Man Who Stole the Sun (1979)

The Man Who Stole the Sun, 1979 - ★★★

Viewed with the Collab.
Interesting that freedom and all its forms, in one way or another, play out in a film that starts off with a gaze toward the rising/setting sun followed by the man who's actually gazing at our solar system's largest body. It's easy to read power dynamics in many symbols or relationships, and so in The Man Who Stole The Sun parlays the intro shot into one man's obsession...

The Linguini Incident (1991)

The Linguini Incident, 1991 - ★★

Viewed with the Collab.
Unnecessary sex humor and a weak lead performance by Rosanna Arquette takes away from the much more entertaining side characters and screwball antics. Bizarre too, that the film feels early 80s as opposed to a decade later. It becomes meta when the Houdini-fanatic yells "I can't find the key!" while squabbling around a canvas sack - perhaps how the viewer feels with trying...

Welcome to Lumon

This is a diary entry for Severence Season 1.
The show lives and breathes like prestige filmmaking, reminds me of True Detective Season 1 and Breaking Bad and Fargo Season 1 in that way. Clean, weird, oddly straightforward, retro-futuristic, not superficially concerned with pop-culture, making its own statement. Can't remember the last time I've loved a TV cast this much. Lots of pleasant surprises,...

This is almost Mel Brooks territory: the frontiersmen think the Chinese are Jews, while the white settlers think that it's the Crow Indians who are. Whoosh!

Everything about Shanghai Noon makes it feel prestigious and grand the way the western should feel...

Kafka (1991)

Ziglet_mir #CenterRight #Libertarian

Mar 17th 2025

Kafka, 1991 - ★★★★

Viewed with the Collab.
Just from my limited perspective, the late 80s-early 90s had a solid, low-key revival of German and silent expressionism: Brazil (1985), Shadows and Fog (1991), and Careful (1992) to name a few. Soderbergh’s Kafka certainly fits in, embellishing the triple threat’s strongest capabilities. The first scene – wordless – drowns out the atmosphere with blood-curdling...

In the Lost Lands Review: A Blue Screen Gnosticism Disaster

One of the biggest lies people have told themselves over the last few years is that Dave Batista is a good actor. The former WWE champion turned actor is often called the best pro wrestler turned actor in the history of Hollywood. If you live in a world where Rowdy Roddy Piper doesn’t exist, you […]

Sonic the Hedgehog 3, 2024

I’m surprised. The bar can be set low due to too much of everything in culture these days. We oversaturate our diets and consume inordinate amounts of the things we like (and don’t like) – nothing can really be more true than that. If there’s anything all-time director Hayao Miyazaki has taught me is that simplicity and discipline in one’s goals can churn out delightful things, especially...

I feel as though an opportunity was grotesquely missed getting away from [redacted] becoming a French witch based on the antagonist of Hansel & Gretel who would suck the youth from the children they capture.
Or is this an adrenochrome allegory?

Throne of Blood, 1957 - ★★★½

Secret Mitchell #18 - For Joe
Throne of Blood translates to "The Spider Web Castle" which is the name of Akira Kurosawa’s at-the-time long-awaited project based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Kurosawa even delayed production after Orson Welles’ release of his film in 1948, in order to not garner constant comparisons. Both Toshiro Mifune’s character and Isuzu Yamada’s character are based on...

Captain America Brave New World Review: Another Soulless MCU Production

The latest episode of the longest-running cinematic soap opera in movie history could be the biggest financial disaster they have seen. Chris Evans is no longer playing the iconic Marvel hero Captain America. As a result, Marvel Studios decided to follow the most recent comic book series and replace Steve Rogers with his former sidekick […]
