There’s a moment towards the end of Frank Pierson’s often maligned 1976 big budget remake of A Star is Born that plays over and over in my head like the fragments of a favorite song or the memory of a long lost lover never to be seen again. It’s the bit where the aging and defeated rock star John Norman Howard is flying down his last lonely highway on the way to oblivion. While the...

The Corona Cork Film Festival was a great experience for me, probably the first time I really felt like a "film director". There was a real public, at least 150 people showed up to the screening of Prélude au sommeil . The film was introduced by the festival director, Mick Hannigan, in his cinema Kino on Washington street. The organizers were all charming people and we had one day...

After posting the book, Piccoli, a week or so ago, I’ve grown more interest in Paul Julian’s work. He’s known predominantly for the Bgs he did at Warner Bros and the art direction he did on The Tell Tale Heart. However, there’s more film work he did independently. The Hangman was a short film he did [...]

Oh BoyCan't explain it...despite the goofy casting...I'm getting pumped for Inglorious. Haven't been this excited for a Tarantino movie since Kill Bill Vol. 1. Sadly, that didn't go too well. Nevertheless.

I need to thank Bill as I thoroughly enjoyed this little slice...

Take it as a major tribute to my love affair with Two-Lane Blacktop that it is just the second film in this series that I have broken my own rule of just capturing ten stills. Also, I have recently started using a new program grabbing my stills that allows me to capture them without having to do any editing. However this program does, on certain DVDs, retain the black bars in the frames. Please let...

The pop-culture polymath has used his spectacular tastes to introduce people to much-maligned musical genres. But if only he could get around to releasing his own recordings Vincent Gallo is one of the few modern renaissance men. He boasts a long list of achievements and I can add another: Gallo is the only person who could persuade me to get into the prog-rock band Yes. Every time I play Tales from...
