Agreed on the sequels, but the fourth Hellraiser movie is something of a classic, not because it's good, but because it may be the most incoherent movie ever to receive a major release. The studio wrests control away from the director (who opted to take an Alan Smithee credit) only to cut the movie so deeply it's…

Grodin better make another movie soon. Otherwise he's going to die with The Ex as his final big screen role, which is a thought too depressing for me to contemplate right now.

Wait, hold on a second. Dennis Farina was here?… and no-one comes to
get me? He's my favorite actor! Thanks a lot, once in a lifetime chance.

For fans of Caligari and German Expressionism, I highly recommend the recently restored From Morning to Midnight. Made a few months after Caligari, it's even more visually extravagant and bizarre. The sets are even more crooked and impossible — they're often minimalist to the point of abstraction. The cycle race…

Truly I am the Rosa Parks of pedantically pointing out minor errors on the internet.

I just became aware of this movie last week because it was mentioned in one of the "Underrated Comedies" lists on Rupert Pupkin Speaks. It's streaming on Netflix. I should watch it!

This week: In honor of The Heat, we assemble a lineup of buddy-cop movies.

I never like to dissuade someone from seeing a movie, and Spring Breakers is an experience. But not one I found particularly worthwhile.

That's fair, and I probably would have liked the movie more if I'd just watched it as a pure headtrip.

I also didn't say this explicitly, but it bears mention: U-Verse was also just significantly cheaper for us than Charter.

I handled the switch from Charter to U-Verse at my mom's house in St. Louis. We had a waaaaay better experience with U-Verse. It's an especially good value if you bundle it with phone and internet. The customer service is orders of magnitude better than Charter. We had an issue with our service being disrupted for a…

I'm way out of my depths here, so I'll refer you to this website: http://www.fossilguy.com/si…

Your analysis of that Goldmember gag could be extended to pretty much every joke in that movie. WE GET THAT THESE ARE JOKES, MIKE MYERS! YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP MUGGING AT ME!!!

I certainly won't give anything away about Taste of Cherry, but there's a certain element of it that people either love (like me) or completely despise.

We did! You actually can't help but find fossils on that beach. I didn't find any shark teeth, but I talked to this 8-year-old kid who had found three of them in 15 minutes!

I don't disagree with that criticism of Kracauer, and, indeed, I disagree with him on a bunch of things. But considering the time period when he was writing, when you couldn't just torrent any movie you wanted or pull up clips on Youtube and pretend to have seen it, and when no one had even attempted to catalog all…

Have you seen The Doll? I just watched it last week, and it's a really bizarre early Lubitsch about a man who marries an animatronic doll. It's really fucking weird and…

…and it was awesome!!!

Are they showing Universe at that screening? Because that would be pretty excellent to see on a big screen.

I've been meaning to do a rewatch of The Magnificent Ambersons, since I read the Tarkington novel a couple months ago. I haven't seen that movie in probably 15 years.
