Thanks to the burden of memory, this viewer felt deeply despondent at the sight of a 76-year-old rock legend on the road and bellhopping his own luggage. And seeing him gazing at the ceiling, his head nestled between couch pillows, it’s hard to imagine David Crosby as one of the …
Strictly for fans — the rest of the world clearly doesn’t get it. The cigarette smoke billows up, meshing with and helping to accentuate the shock of white hair. It is, unmistakably, David Lynch, one of the handful of filmmakers in the history of cinema who has, for better or …
Nonsensical retelling of the Dan Brown best-seller, premised on "the greatest cover-up in human history," namely the murderously guarded secret that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene married and multiplied. (The additional premise that the disclosure of the secret would have the immediate effect of liberating the oppressed worldwide and bringing …
Shorter, straighter-faced, altogether squarer remake of the George Romero zombie bash. The "commentary" on American consumerism, or anyway the locality of a Middle American shopping mall, remains as pertinent today as in 1979, if scarcely as fresh. And the cannibalism now seems to pertain not so much to the society …
George A.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes alone justified the advent of CGI. With it comes a worthy successor. No other-worldly Hollywood actioner of recent vintage come close to playing by the rules of the robust fantasy universe it puts forth like this pair of premium summer blockbusters. It's been …
This year's SXSW Audience Award -winner, The Dawn Wall, documents the unbelievable story of free climber Tommy Caldwell’s attempt to scale the most difficult section of the iconic granite mountain face, El Cap.
For cinema, at least, the Yukon Territory’s Dawson City was quite literally the end of the line. With no further bookings on the horizon, most of the combustible nitrate prints that played the movie house in that turn-of-the-century gold rush town were given an unceremonious burial at sea. But a …
Doomsday science fiction -- emphasis, as is only fit and proper, on fiction at the expense of science -- about how global warming brings on a new Ice Age in the northern hemisphere, and in consequence a southward migration that reverses the flow of illegals across the Mexican border. (That …
A middle-aged bachelor, A thief, A young spiritual guru and a frustrated techie wade through a journey of self discovery that aligns them together in it's penultimate phase.
