Read MoreReview: A Rainy Day In New York – “Funny when it needs to be and is very charming”
Woody Allen may be persona non grata in the faux-woke Hollywood of 2020—so much so that his latest film, A Rainy Day in New York, hasn’t even got a US distributor. Initially, the “evil” Amazon had signed Allen to a four-picture deal. Amazon had partially funded and planned to release the film but dropped it after renewed interest in a post-#MeToo climate that rekindled controversy over...

Read MoreReview: Capone – “It’s like a side mission on GTA V”
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Capone pop up in the pre-order tab of the US iTunes account. $12.99. One of my most anticipated of the year, with nary a weeks notice. I’m not complaining. I am fascinated as major companies try to navigate COVID-19. We’ve had the rentals of The Hunt and The Invisible Man. Both premium enough to warrant the $19.99 tag, in my opinion. Then, we had the rental of Trolls:...

I remember reading about this in some movie monster books when I was a kid, and seeing it late night on TV in my teens, but it rarely aired as...

Read MoreStanley KuBLOG: Barry Lyndon – A Stanley Kubrick Retrospective
Barry Lyndon is Stanley Kubrick’s tenth feature film. It came after a series of magnificent successes capped by the trauma of A Clockwork Orange, a film that Kubrick withdrew from distribution in England after death threats. The handsome adaptation of William Thackery’s lesser-known novel was greeted with praise for its technical accomplishments, but the film did not enter into the...
