June 26, 2023 in Collections

In the rich American heritage of musicals and musical theater, few can match the output of the iconic team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. While all of their films were originally created for the stage (or television), they translated almost perfectly to a movie setting.

June 26, 2023 in Collections

Let me just say how pleasing it is to see Michelle Yeoh suddenly become the It Girl. And at the age of 60! But here’s the thing: Michelle Yeoh has been making movies since 1984, and she has been an acclaimed and serious actor all along.

The Genre-Defying JAWS

June 19, 2023 in Collections

It’s easy to write Jaws off as a campy summer blockbuster. A murderous shark picking off beachgoers is a rather silly concept on its face. But when you add a grizzled misanthrope, a nerdy oceanographer, a troubled sheriff, and a single-minded monster, there is something more. Repeated viewings bring other, deeper meanings to the surface.

It’s the joy and the freedom, you see, and the music of HAIR that we keep coming back to, the music that first called us to Treat Williams, and to Treat Williams, the music that first called to him, driving around in his mother’s convertible as a teen, just belting out those songs that he loved.

June 08, 2023 in Collections

There were great comedies – it’s just that nobody really went to see them. The 1980s, however, provided such a deep roster that I thought it would be interesting to linger a little longer on the video store shelf to find some dusty treasures.

May 23, 2023 in Collections

Let’s watch the hell out of these last few months while we still can. Go deep into those rabbit holes. Find stuff you didn’t know existed, obscurities that are still available because nobody thought to rent them in the first place. It’s time to initiate the #GetThroughMyQueue campaign.

Quirky Indie Gems

May 22, 2023 in Collections

In the years right before the pandemic, indie movies were having a moment. There have been many indie gems released during the years of 2015 to 2019 that I personally consider that era a mini-golden age of independent filmmaking. Each of these movies have an interesting take on storytelling, an unusual concept or offer a unique perspective you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere. While I watched many upon release, I’ve been using my DVD Netflix account to catch up on indie movies from that time frame and have many new-to-me favorites.
