New Year's Eve deserves a comedy and let me recommend the 2019 Matthew Rankin film The Twentieth Century, a completely bonkers "biopic" of Canadian prime minister McKenzie King's rise to.
I rewatched Jim Jarmusch's 2013 film Only Lovers Left Alive the other night. Against my will, I really love this film. Yes, the plot is ridiculous. But like many Jarmusch.
I recently checked out the 1934 Mexican horror film The Phantom of the Monastery, directed by Fernando de Fuentes, one of the early pioneers of the vastly underrated Mexican film industry. This is a pretty good film. To be honest, old monasteries are inherently creepy...
Since we talked about The Man Who Knew Too Much the other day, I thought I'd follow it up with arguably the greatest Hitchcock film in Vertigo. I watched it.
Don't think we've done any Hitchcock in this series, so let's. The Man Who Knew Too Much is great, especially Doris Day's performance. The whole film is just classic Hitchcock..
The only Georges Franju film I'd seen was Eyes without a Face, so I thought I'd check out his 1963 film Judex. A remake of one of his favorite films, a 1916 Louis Feuillade serial of the same name, this film is about an evil...
I always love the recovery of lost films and this story on early footage from Ireland really made me want to see the films. Hopefully I will have that opportunity..
Watched The French Connection the other night for the first time in probably 15 years. Still remains pretty amazing! Depending on what you think of The Exorcist, it's also probably.
Wanted to recommend this recent short film by the Palestinian director Samira Saraya, starring herself as a lesbian in Israel in a relationship with an Israeli intelligence officer. Then her sister finds out and is outraged that she's dating a murderer. There's no easy conclusions....
Imagine yourself at the movies in the 1910s. By this point, there are real cinemas. You are going to go there with your family, or your friends, or your girl/boyfriend..
I may have linked to this film way in the distant past, but I never have since I started the film club, so let's discuss the 1907 film The Teddy.
