Top 10 Baseball Films: #2.5, Eight Men Out

Eleven films in a top-10 list? That’s cheating! That’s precisely the subject of John Sayles’s magnificent film Eight Men Out (1988), a treatise on the ugly Black Sox scandal of 1919. My apologies in advance for the absence of an accessible film clip; cheating may be rampant in the world, but that doesn't mean that everything is free and freely available, even on the great looting...

Kathryn Petersen & David Strathairn Gotthold Lessing’s...

Kathryn Petersen & David Strathairn Gotthold Lessing’s Nathan the Wise (in Edward Kemp’s translation) is an interesting, even curious choice for People’s Light Theater Company (PLTC) just west of us in Malvern, PA, literally down the road from the strip mall where I get my haircuts. Nathan, which completed its run on October 11, was the premier production of PLTC’s 35 th...

movie season, way too soon

I didn't think movie season would begin before the ALCS! This morning I'm still cursing and sulking about the Red Sox. Seriously, you have no idea how difficult it is to write this post as anything but an incoherent string of profanities. Moving on... Last night I reactivated my Zip account. Zip still is but a pale imitation of Netflix, but it's also still the best of my options. And this is my annual...

Bacall, Corman, Gordon Willis Earn Honorary Oscars

This year's list of honorary Oscar recipients has been announced , and it's a varied list, but I don't think you can argue against any of the picks. Lauren Bacall , one of the most legendary film noir actresses who has remained active into her 80s, will be honored by the Board of Governors at next year's Academy Awards. Joining Bacall, who co-starred with her future husband Humphrey Bogart in several...

Roger!

I was thrilled to read yesterday that Roger Corman will be receiving an honorary Academy Award next year. I've been a fan of Corman's for decades and consider him to be one of the most important people working in Hollywood for the past 50 years - as a director, producer, distributor and talent incubator. I had a contract to write a book about his career back in 1985 (and had agreement from Corman for...

The Brother from Another Planet

The Brother from Another Planet is a 1984 science fiction comedy directed by John Sayles . I had not seen this before, figuring it was just a mindless comedy, but it seems to me to be more of a social commentary. "We're in for the Self-Actualization conference." LOL! The Internet Archive has it online: Roger Ebert likes it. Moria calls it a "marvellously witty little film".

Cinematical Seven: Our Alien Friends

There's something a bit familiar about the premise of District 9 -- namely, the part where the human makes friends with the alien. Now, District 9 is a terrific movie, and director Neill Blomkamp delivered a lot of action, violence, pathos and kick-ass special effects on a relatively small budget. But aliens? We've been friends with aliens before. In fact, this week marks the 25th anniversary DVD/Blu-ray...
