My favorite game to play is finding the artwork used to decorate the sets of Twin Peaks. This time, I located the framed art seen hanging above Ruth Davenport’s bed in Part 1 of Twin Peaks: The Return. It’s a public domain piece that created in 1802 by an English watercolorist and etcher. ARTWORK ABOVE RUTH...

NOTE: A few days ago I went to a 20th anniversary screening of CARS (2006). Has it really been that long since it came out?!I'm not certain if I'd seen the film in its entirety since 2006; it was long enough since my last viewing that it really felt fresh and new. The movie is endlessly creative in a way we perhaps now take for granted, given the passing of a couple decades.Below is a short review from the early days of this blog. If, like me, you haven't seen CARS in years -- or perhaps ever…

by Eurocheese One of the top reasons to attend festivals is to find surprises, films that far exceed expectations and become unforeseen favorites. I had no plans to write up Leah Nelson's Tangles, though I knew it was getting good reviews. When I stumbled out of the theater, unable to keep tears from streaming down my face, I knew it deserved a reaction here at The Film Experience. This animated gem is not only for those who have been impacted by Alzheimer's directly, but for anyone who has…

Over the course of the last couple of weeks I’ve watched “The Evil Dead”, “Evil Dead 2”, “Army of Darkness”, and “Evil Dead Rise”. I had watch “Ash vs. Evil Dead” many years ago and really enjoyed the show, so I finally wanted to get to know the original. The first three are considered classics. Movies two and three are definitely entertaining but the first adjective I’d use to describe them is “weird”. Especially with movies one and two I got the impression, though, that everyone was on drugs…

Another week with more movies! The big opening is a reboot of Resident Evil from Barbarian & Weapons director Zach Creggar, apparently hewing closer to the games that the Milla Jovovich series did. It's at Fresh Pond, Jordan's Furniture (Imax Friday-Sunday), Boston Common (including Imax Laser & Dolby Cinema & Spanish subtitles), Causeway Street (including XL), Kendall Square, the Seaport,

Peacock just announced the cast of The Traitors US season five, and holy shit is it incredible on paper!

As a teenager, Maguy Le Coze and her brother Gilbert were introduced to the culinary life while helping their parents in their hotel restaurant in Brittany, France. But staying in the French countryside was not for her. Maguy and Gilbert opened Le Bernardin first in Paris, and later in New York City in 1986. Le Bernardin is considered one of the finest restaurants in the world, earning three Michelin stars and four stars from The New York Times since it opened. Celebrity chef Eric Ripert is the…

A couple of nights ago, I went to see the opening night of the new Komische Oper production of Aribert Reimann’s opera Lear, directed by Barrie Kosky and staged in the Oper’s temporary location in a hangar at Tempelhof Airport. I reviewed it for Bachtrack, and you can find that review at this link. On Substack are some s further reflections on the opera and its staging, along with storms, tone-rows, Romanticism, bombardment, and howling. An excerpt here:Reimann’s is “music that admonishes”,…

The 13th Annual Rule, Britannia Blogathon is Here! While many think of Hollywood when they think of movies, the fact is that many classic films originated in the United Kingdom.

★★★★: Extraordinary in its chaos. Zucker is the perfect (sort of) straight man amongst the other acts. Though I didn't love every one of them, everything moved so quickly that there wasn't time to dwell on any one of them. The camera moves really supported how frenetic everything felt. Decidedly earns its "nudity" warning, too. FYI: My reviews are scored out of 4. Also, thanks for subscribing to my RSS feed and supporting the indie web!

Last week the official trailer for the next Avatar series debuted and I was surprised to be filled with confidence. Now, I am not some Korra hater. I actually quite like the show, the character, and sympathize with the creative team's struggles as Nickelodeon bungled the entire show. I even wrote about the show for my history of animation class at UCF in November 2015. While I have found the Pages document, I have decided to spare you all from publishing it. Seven Havens is leaning into the…

The Flywheel theatre company are reviving the rep tradition by having five actors perform five different plays in five weeks. Their interpretation of Molière's classic is gaudy and hilarious. Even the lighting cues are funny! It is fair to say that School for Wives isn't exactly an uncontroversial play. The plot basically boils down to "Women! Eh? You can't live with them, you can't easily groom them from the age of four and keep them imprisoned so they become perfect submissives." Is the fear…

There’s a man in the airport wearing a cowboy hat on top of a baseball hat. Unlike an overstuffed comedy premise, it’s funny.

Tuner (2025) • View trailerThree stars (out of five); rated R, for violence, dramatic intensity and considerable profanityAvailable via: Amazon Prime and other VOD optionsBy Derrick Bang • Published in The Davis Enterprise, 9.20.26Of all the ways a film can fail, the most disappointing is when script, execution and tone show great promise during the first two acts... ...and then everything goes to hell during the third act, leaving viewers unsatisfied, and with an expression of bewildered “what…

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: FULL SPOILERS In "Silo" (2023), a gripping psychological thriller, a woman unravels deep secrets within a mysterious government facility, spiraling into a maze of power and truth.

The Traitors New Blood episodes 1 and 2—a two-episode premiere!—gave us traitors, a murder, a banishment, and several new twists, including traitor accomplices. Here's my snarky recap!

The adaptation of a video game franchise can be a difficult thing. The 90’s and 00’s were littered with adaptations that sort of brought the experience of the original material to the big screen (Street Fighter (1994, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, the original Mortal Kombat movies), but in recent years, the needle has been moved in the other direction: perhaps too accurate to the source material. This choice ends up with mixed results, as we’ve seen this year. Either you’re a 1:1 comparison to the…

by Ben Miller It should come as no surprise that director Zach Cregger knows how to blend horror and comedy together successfully. Even when taking a piece of well-established IP such as Resident Evil, the director delivers a thrilling blend of fun and entertainment in a way only he can. While this film serves as a reboot of the franchise, the spirit of the games in well intact. Characters reference the Umbrella Corporation, while Racoon City is one of the main settings. It might be a big idea,…

Back in June it was confirmed that the most recent era of Doctor Who, headed by Russell T. Davies and produced by Bad Wolf Studios for the BBC, had come to a somewhat abrupt end. A Christmas special planned for December 2026 had been cancelled and the BBC had begun planning to put the show out to tender for a new production partner. This followed the BBC and international distributor Disney+ also cutting ties after two commercially-underwhelming seasons.The expectation was that the show would…
