When I did the WCW feature on Charlize Theron a while back, I got a

May 16th is Classic Movie Day. The day was created by Rick Armstrong, the founder of the Classic Movie Blog Association, of which I am a very proud member and board member. The CMBA board have encouraged our members to put together articles to celebrate this day. You can learn about how I became a classic film fan below. My Classic Film Journey I have decided to take this opportunity to highlight some hidden gems made outside of America. While I understand and share the acclaim and attention…

In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as … Continue reading →

Miyu was once the picture-perfect rich man’s ewife—devoted, loyal and utterly consumed by her marriage. Then, she finds out about her husband’s affair. But the betrayal didn’t stop there. She divorces him after finding out the mistress, Lu Zhen Zhen, is pregnant, but Nie Yucheng hid his money from her so that she gets nothing after the divorce. Broke, heavily in debt and utterly humiliated, Miyu is forced to take a job as a housekeeper at a luxury hotel just to keep her head above water. When…

Before I went to pee halfway through Project Hail Mary, I could say I was invested. but after a two-minute break away from the constant assault of flashy images and dialogue made to maximize audience engagement without allowing a single thought to pass, I felt the most excruciating boredom I had ever experienced in a movie theater.

One of my earliest blog posts (in 2008) was a list of my favorite depictions of geologists in movies. I've revisited it once or twice. It came to mind as we prepare to offer a showing of "Tremors" as a geology field studies fundraiser at the State Theatre in Modesto on May 20th at 7 pm. If you would like to attend or donate to our field studies fund, please check out the first comment! What are the best depictions of geologists in movies? I have the definitive list below! I listed my number one…

Twin Peaks crew member turned actor Frank Silva was interviewed by Nik Garifalakis from Australia’s Sunday Herald Sun on May 19, 1991. Silva passed on September 13, 1995 so it’s a treat to hear him discuss his role as Killer BOB in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s groundbreaking series. This article was included in a...

Today’s recording starts with a trail for Saturday Morning programmes on CBBC. Then it’s Shaun the Sheep – The Kite. It’s a very windy day, and a kite finds its way to the farm. It spooks the sheep. Shaun gets tangled up in the tail and it takes him flying. He gets away when the kite gets stuck in a tree. Shaun and the Sheep try using a mattress to bounce on and get the kite, but can’t manage it. They try another method. Shaun has another plan. I’d love to think that’s a genuine formula for…

by Elisa Giudici Peter Jackson. Photo by Elisa Giudici At the end of the ’80s Peter Jackson arrived in Cannes for the first time as a self-taught splatter filmmaker from New Zealand and immediately got thrown out of the Palais for wearing shorts. Nearly four decades later, he returns to the Croisette as the director behind one of the most successful trilogies in cinema history. The director is still talking about movies with the enthusiasm of somebody who never stopped being the kid borrowing…

I frequently reacted out loud while reading Mary Clare Jalonick's oral history of January 6th. Here's a (partial) list of reasons why.

Definitely not my usual horror movie. I liked that it breaks from the stereotypes that I’ve gotten used to in modern horror movies. Adam Scott feels like he is always typecasted, but in a good way, you know? In this case, I feel like he was a very angry Ben Wyatt. There were some details that I feel like were missing in the end, like what was the purpose of showing the hotel’s owner other than the brief witch story? I feel like it could’ve been handled better, but that’s just my opinion I…

During an archaeological expedition on Bouvetøya Island in Antarctica, a team of archaeologists and other scientists find themselves caught up in a battle between the two legends. Soon, the team realize that only one species can win. You got Aliens, you got Predators, you got a team of human morons caught in the cross-fight. It’s dark, it’s slow, but in the end it’s a decent watch every decade or so. Three popcorns. To see all 18 photos, visit the article page. This article was originally…

Jerome Yates and Tia Bannon in I’m Not Being Funny, Bush Theatre. Photo: Richard Lakos I’m Not Being Funny at the Bush Theatre is a play which at one point has you laughing at Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On and then later crying during the same song. It is a bittersweet story of a young couple with a 3-year-old child, forced to face a future no one wants to think about. Billie (Tia Bannon) has signed up her and her husband, Peter (Jerome Yates), for an open mic night. With daughter Ruby…

I've returned from spending most of two weeks at back-to-back film festivals, and coverage of both fests will be coming as soon as possible.First, though, a couple of film reviews!Regular readers know that I've fallen under the spell of French film noir and crime films, mostly thanks to an ongoing series of releases by Kino Lorber Studio Classics.Kino Lorber's latest release in this genre is MAIGRET SEES RED (1963), known in France as MAIGRET VOIT ROUGE.The film is a police procedural starring…

This in full is the Publishers Lunch story from 20 April: The fallout from the firing last week of longtime CEO of Hachette-owned Grasset Olivier Nora continues. Controlling owner Vincent Bolloré confirmed that Nora was fired due to a dispute over the publication date for author Bouale Sansal’s account of his imprisonment in an Algerian jail, which will be released on June 6. “The head of Grasset had wanted to release it at the end of the year—a move contrary to the wishes of Hachette’s…

We’re always trying to track what historical costume movies and TV shows are coming up.

LAIKA Studios on YouTube: There are places you don’t go. One choice changes everything. Watch the Teaser Trailer for Wildwood now, and see the movie in theatres everywhere October 23. From the makers of Coraline, Wildwood is a sweeping, darkly magical adventure about a young girl who ventures into a dangerous hidden forest to rescue her brother – an odyssey shaped by love, power, and the courage to confront the unknown. LAIKA movies feel as special, unique and fragile as the animation style…

by Elisa Giudici Park Chan Wook and Chloe Zhao © Elisa Giudici What kind of festival the 79th Annual Cannes Film Festival will be is something the films in Competition and the side sections will ultimately determine. But there’s little doubt that the final perception of Cannes - and the line between winners and losers - will also be shaped by the jury presided over by Park Chan-wook, who today faced the traditional opening press conference. What became immediately clear is how prepared every…

THREE WOMEN AND A DISTANT QUEEN Ava Pickett’s breathlessly exciting début play won, at the Almeida, both a prestigious prize and mixed reviews. As a first-timer, seeing its transfer to the West End, I can say that it well deserves the move, and that it keeps all the unsettling intimacy and power that split the critics. And it’s piquant to have a more sobering reflection on Anne Boleyn running here: seven minutes’ walk from the latest cast raving through the riotous SIX on the Strand. So I liked…

Arabesque (1966)

Top Chef Carolinas had some fun at a lake with a mise en place race, fishing, and Tom Colicchio demanding "no poopies." Let's recap!

by Cláudio Alves The 79th Cannes Film Festival is upon us and, as ever, Elisa is on the ground to report directly from the Croisette. Sadly, most of us can only watch from afar. For years, I struggled with festival-related FOMO, but one little annual series here at The Film Experience has helped combat it. Obviously, I’m referring to “Cannes at Home,” the rubric I’m happy to revive once more, perusing past films from the various cineastes in the Main Competition that are widely available. Alas,…

AF = Aldo Fabrizi. Well, I started fulfilling my promise to see more Mario Monicelli. VITA DA CANI (IT’S A DOG’S LIFE, 1950) was co-directed by MM and Steno, and I double-featured it with VARIETY LIGHTS, maybe a mistake as the two are very similar: Italian music-hall comedy-tragedies with two directors. VDC is a sort […]

It was the autofocus, Putnam County 2004

The crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape. Following the pretty mess that was Prometheus, this movie is actually a proper Alien movie, with monster horror elements and cyberpunk and techpunk elements. All in all, it’s a solid entry in the Alien franchise, Michael Fassbender does an absolutely great work, and the rest of the cast feels less like cannon fodder, and more like…

Following clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone. This is an Alien movie, but with a different kind of aliens. Going back to the whole “let’s explore this planet, what’s the worst it could happen” shtick, guess what? The worst happens. A nice action movie in the Alien universe, which has the only merit of introducing the character of David, masterfully played by Michael Fassbender. Also loved to see Noomi Rapace’s…
