FILM In 1956, movies were mass entertainment all around the post-war world but output was dominated by the USA1 across all genres. I never knew that The King and I, High Society, The Ten Commandments, and Around the World in 80 Days were all from 1956 but it’s not important. It’s a mixed bag, but with movies such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Forbidden Planet we can see a fear of the other due to the Cold War. These are all US movies but Japan had Crazed Fruit, Early Spring (Ozu), and…
Decades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring. Excellent sequel to the first masterpiece, expanding a lot on the Alien lore, and packaging it all on an action sci-fi movie, which is faster paced and more tense than its predecessor, keeping you glued to the screen for 2 hours and a half (or 2:17 if you watch the theatrical version) wondering what will happen…
With only days away from the premiere of Twin Peaks on the ABC Television Network on April 8, “Soundlife” in The Morning News Tribune ran a cover story about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s new show on March 28, 1990. Two additional articles by Tribune’s TV-radio columnist Andee Beck accompanied Steve Bond’s story that was distributed by Los...

After investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin, the crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform. Yeah, it’s that moment that I go through every 5 years or so when I revisit the entire Alien franchise. And what better point to start it than a movie that defined a genre and created a franchise that still fills cinemas today. In this movie every sound is perfectly put in place, every view is a wallpaper-able moment. The cast is absolutely fantastic, Sigourney…
Going into Psycho II, I made sure to make clear how much disdain I had for the idea of even trying to live up to such an undisputed classic. I gave it a pass only after it was clear that they were showing proper reverence for the original, and that they were more interested in continuing the story than trying to live up to it in terms of filmmaking. Watching Psycho III, I was reminded of Hitchcock’s extended trailer for the original movie. It takes full advantage of the persona that had been…

For their first solo show, #TCTheater artist Em Rosenberg presents a new take on the fable of the boy who cried wolf, describing the show thusly: "When the boy cries 'wolf,' what if he is really crying for life itself? His voice feels less like a warning and more like a plea to be seen and to be believed. That cry feels familiar to me now, echoing as a demand for connection in a world that fosters isolation. To reshape the story as a space of empathy, I return to the boy to give him the…

I just watched all the trailers for the Transformers movies. Based soley on the trailers, Bumblebee is the best movie.

Anya Reiss' adaptation of A Doll's House is a faithful one in that it follows the story beats and motivations of Ibsen's original, but also a modern one in that it identifies an archetype we can all recognise and agree is the villain of the piece: Finance bros. At the beginning of Joe Hill-Gibbins' production Nora (Romola Garai) has prepared for Christmas by maxing out her husband's credit card on decorations and gifts for their family, to make up for a pretty miserable time the previous year.…
GUARDI I LADRI aka COPS AND ROBBERS I guess is a really satisfying one, a relatively early commedia all’italiana whose premise and title seem to be a faint riff on BICYCLE THIEVES (LADRI DI BICYCLETTE). Fat sweaty copper Aldo Fabrizi, having allowed professional thief Totò to slip through his fingers, is given one week to […]
Assuming that Fujifilm’s sixth-generation cameras are right around the corner—probably five or six months out—what should be different about it? I don’t want to answer that question in this article, but it is what made me think of today’s topic: which Film Simulation should come next? Looking back, Classic Chrome was introduced with X-Trans II, […]
If you're going to insist on making a movie that doesn't need to exist, you could do worse than the sequel to Psycho

In the not too distant future, we reach out beyond our own solar system in search of a new home. To do this, space ships are launched, “manned” by our closest relative – chimpanzees. Specially trained, they must ascertain whether or not our exodus may begin, giving us a new home full of natural resources to claim as our own. One of these chimpanzee explorers is Hope-65, one of a long line of her kind to go into space on our behalf. She eventually arrives at a planet which fulfils all the ...
