The beauty of New York City is captured in this comedy/drama from Woody Allen about a middle-aged writer who is rebounding from a bad marriage by dating a 17 year old, while also dating his friend’s mistress. Accented by the use of black and white filming, the movie exposes the duality of our … |

Mary and Max renders a bone-dry absurdist story in claymation’s grotesquely uncharitable visuals. Unfortunately the story is charitable only to the odd couple of the title: he a middle-aged autistic living in NYC, she a little girl growing up in near abusive squalor in Australia. Pairing a gr…

Morituri is a terrible title for a movie, now and in 1965 when this Brando-Brynner warhorse premiered. If that wasn’t bad enough, Marlon Brando refused to do publicity, limiting himself to one line of perverse grandiosity. The movie bombed. So they renamed it The Saboteur: Code Name Morituri… |

Some Like It Hot kicked off the Sixties with a bang. Released in ‘59, it was nominated for six Oscars at the 1960 Academy Awards, winning only for Orry-Kelly’s dresses for Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and most especially Marilyn Monroe. Speaking of Monroe, she won the 1960 Golden Globe for Best A…

What a trip – iconic images before they were cliches, John Wayne’s star-making performance, a crisply compelling story. Legendary director John Ford’s first talkie Western warrants its status as one of the most influential movies of all time. Clocking in at a mere 96 minutes, it’s also tautly e…
