Frederick Wiseman showed us the world and its institutions in all their cruelty and humanity. A prolific and essential documentarian, he will be missed. RIP, 1930-2026

Rewatching Mitchell Leisen's MIDNIGHT made me realize with greater force just how fradulent it was of ANORA to claim the status of a screwball comedy. The key ingredient (wit) is in fact... key.

As soon as a plot of a movie introduces "a portal", my interest goes 50% down, pretty much automatically.

My booklet essay is included in Indicator's Blu-ray release of Simon Hesera's unjustly forgotten A DAY AT THE BEACH (1970).

To read a review like this is to feel repaid with interest for every hour I put into this project. I learned things about my own book and cannot thank the writer enough.

Some movies feel like they've been written by AI, but only ARGYLLE has the disctinction of feeling like a movie written by AI while drunk.

The worst part of the news about Christopher Nolan making a movie of THE ODYSSEY is how utterly unsurprising it is. *Of course* he wouldn't tackle anything less at this point.
