Love & Other Drugs (2010)

  • Others
  • 2010, Edward Zwick, USA
  • Leave a comment

Despite the strength of the leading cast, this is an unexpectedly insipid movie by Edward Zwick.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Defiance (2008)

  • Others
  • 2008, Edward Zwick, USA
  • Leave a comment

A predictable historical war film about survival and the human spirit that mostly benefits from steady direction by Edward Zwick.

Double Indemnity (1944)

  • Criterion Collection, Wilder, Billy
  • 1944, Billy Wilder, USA
  • 1 Comment

One of Billy Wilder’s greatest films, and a textbook example of how to do a noir so rightโ€ฆ and so good.

Feels Good Man (2020)

  • Others
  • 2020, Documentary, USA
  • Leave a comment

Pepe the Frog gets unceremoniously thrown into the US sociopolitical mixer in this insightful documentary about the pervasiveness of memes, perils of Internet culture and one manโ€™sโ€”creator Matt Furieโ€”angst toward all that is wrong with American society.

Rumble Fish (1983)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford, Criterion Collection
  • 1983, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • Leave a comment

A feverish attempt at exploring the nature of wasted youth with strong visual and aural stylings that canโ€™t quite hide its meandering narrative.

Night Moves (2013)

  • Reichardt, Kelly
  • 2013, Kelly Reichardt, USA
  • 3 Comments

Reichardt is such a skilled filmmaker that the moral consequences of eco-terrorism is given as nuanced a treatment as possible in this slow-burning gem.

Sunset Boulevard (1950)

  • Wilder, Billy
  • 1950, Billy Wilder, USA
  • 5 Comments

A bold, daring picture that shoots arrows at the Dream Factory that is Hollywood, and arguably Billy Wilder’s finest film.

Jackie (2016)

  • Larrain, Pablo
  • 2016, Pablo Larrain, USA
  • 5 Comments

An unconventional if poignant character study on Jacqueline Kennedy that draws a haunting, lingering effect as if we are witnessing the intimate spectres of fragmented history flow resplendently back to life.

Other Side of the Wind, The (2018)

  • Welles, Orson
  • 2018, France, Orson Welles, USA
  • Leave a comment

Superbly-edited and exuding a sense of โ€˜new waveโ€™ energy, Wellesโ€™ previously incomplete film before his death is now complete (or not?) in this strange, kaleidoscopic but rather uncompelling work.ย

Dead Man (1995)

  • Criterion Collection, Jarmusch, Jim
  • 1995, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • 5 Comments

A stylish revisionist anti-Western masterpiece by Jim Jarmusch that is both surreal, spiritual and poetic, backed by a stunning improvised โ€˜liveโ€™ score by Neil Young.
