You can practically feel the whole drive-in history of revenge-oriented biker pictures come roaring up from behind and crashing through the beginning of George Miller’s 1980 original Mad Max, informing the movie’s every lunatic move and guiding it as it charts a change in trajectory for the course of business-as-usual action filmmaking to come. Even…

At this writing we are about a week away from May 20, 2015, which will mark an event that many of us, I believe, secretly imagined would never come. Oh, we knew it would, time being well enamored of the whole “marching on” thing, and impermanence pretty much being the coin of the physical realm….

With the leap from Siri to Samantha, the seductive and increasingly sentient computer program heard (but never seen) in Spike Jonze’s Her, seeming more surmountable with each new iteration of the iPhone, it seems only a matter of time before we find ourselves staring into the eyes of a replicant, looking for that tell-tale metallic…

“You all know me… You know how I make my livin’…” Quint (Robert Shaw), Jaws Well, the truth is, you probably don’t know me, although you may have an idea that I don’t earn my keep by sharkin’, like our very quotable friend above. I just like his dialogue, and the line seemed like a…

In the beginning there was Helen Gibson. Gibson was a rodeo star in the early days of the 20th century who moved to Hollywood to become a “cowboy extra” and ended up becoming one of the very first paid stunt women/actresses in the history of the movies when she was hired to perform stunts and…

In writer-director Jim Akin’s The Ocean of Helena Lee, the first thing you may notice about 12-year-old Helena Lee (and the young actress, Moriah Blonna, who plays her) is the diverting mole on the left side of her chin, the sort of punctuation which amplifies the beauty of the face which it interrupts– a face which…

Another year, my sixth at the TCM Classic Film Festival, is in the books, and I’m exhausted! Fourteen movies over four days sounds like a lot, and it is– though compared to past years, when I saw as many as 17 and 18, it was a relatively laid-back schedule. But you don’t just sit in…

TFH guru and man-about-town Larry Karaszewski is hosting a double bill featuring Ralph Bakshi’s outrageous animation landmark, Heavy Traffic alongside his raucous 1981 comedy, American Pop.

Starting today, it’s down the rabbit hole once again to revel in Hollywood’s past glories (and international cinema’s too) at the 2015 TCM Classic Film Festival, unspooling March 26-29. This is the sixth incarnation of the festival, and I have been honored– and downright lucky– to have been able to attend each of those, thanks…

You can see the fingerprints of this dilemma in the way the recent sequel/remake of…
