It is a fine movie, and this is a great release.

A lot of silly fun with music and magic.

I hope that others who need this type of film will find it in the future.

Not for the faint of heart.

It is a beautiful, sometimes difficult movie to watch, with a terrific performance from Lily Gladstone.

There is enough here to make fans of war films rejoice, but one can’t help but feel a little disappointed that such effort was put into something that could have been so much more.

If you look at it like a TV-movie and have no higher expectations, then this is a fine little movie.

I talk about all the fun, interesting, and cool things I’ve discovered since the last time.

A serious drama that loves to slide in all sorts of ridiculous silliness.

The writers don’t try to hard to make any sense out of the mysteries, but they love putting the characters into silly situations and seeing how they react.

Another installment of the biweekly article where I talk about all the fun, interesting, and yes, cool things I’ve discovered since the last time.

I just talked myself into buying it.

With those stars, that director, and the gorgeous setting, Mogambo is well worth your time.

It is worth watching, but keep your expectations low.

The core of the story is so heartbreaking, and the filmmaking so breathtaking, that I’m ready to call it a masterpiece.

One of the many wonderful things about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was the introduction of Nicolas Cage portraying Spider-Man Noir

It gets by on the charisma of its lead actors, and its pre-Code sex appeal.

One cool thing for you is a chance to read my cool things.

For a cheapie made by a Poverty Row studio, this film is fascinating stuff.

A great way for fans to build up their collection.

A cross between down-and-dirty, gritty poliziotteschi and the slower burn of the American conspiracy thriller.

Here are more cool things I found.

My favorite of all Ustinov’s Poirot films is this one.

Each Pink Panther film is loaded with a variety of archival extras, including audio commentaries and making-of featurettes.

It is beautiful, deeply felt, and wholly entertaining.
