Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four | Day FiveDay Six | Day Seven | Day Eight It's almost 2am on Monday morning, and I'm excited to get up in six hours to see Joy Division, so this daily wrapup is going to be on the short side. I also saw …… Continue reading
In a grand orphanage on the Spanish coat, dead children are playing games. Once a childhood resident, Laura (Belen Rueda) has returned as an adult. With her husband, she's bought the old manse to turn it once more into a home for children. Her own adopted… Continue reading
You can't go home again. I thought Dario Argento learned that in 1980 after making the laughably bad Inferno, ostensibly a sequel to his landmark Suspiria. But he's back again with the third part in this so-called trilogy. Taken as a whole, the three films… Continue reading
We've been deluged, it sometimes seems, with portraits of troubled musicians. The musical biopic has become a popular sub-genre; it sells soundtracks by the millions and raises familiar public figures up to a level of adoration and/or scrutiny that we're all… Continue reading

You walk into a bar. The tall bit of gorgeous that's bored with her friends looks at you, decides that you look more like her worn-out running shoes than a guy she wants dripping sweat on her for eight minutes, and turns away. What do you do? If you've read… Continue reading
Sorry suckers, this isn't a contest. But who doesn't want a scarred, sardonic master filmmaker to adorn their living room? I'd take one. Even the pre-motorcycle wreck version of Kitano, just because he looked so damn nice. Instead, this is to do with the… Continue reading
