My Favorite Movie – Raiders of the Lost Ark

July 19th, 2011 | POSTED BY Mike Sullivan

What is your favorite movie? That’s not such a hard question, is it? You’re thinking, “Oh, there’s so many,” or “I can’t choose just one.” C’mon, now, I’m not asking you to name your favorite child. Everyone has a favorite movie. My answer to that…

An Appreciation – The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

July 18th, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Sometimes, when I’m in the mood, I like to sing. I’m not very good at it, but that doesn’t stop me from trying. The characters in Jacques Demy’s film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) like to sing as well, and luckily they are much better…

July 11th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

An Appreciation – Seven Samurai

July 11th, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

If there is one word to describe Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece, Seven Samurai (1954), it is “epic.” Epic in scale, in ambition, in scope, and in length. At a meaty two hundred and seven minutes, the film is an adventurous experience in and of itself. However,…

Bird Watching – Revisiting Penelope Spheeris’s “Wayne’s World”

July 4th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

In desperate need of something to cheer me up after an awful day, and also in desperate need of something to write about for this column this week, yesterday I marched to the video store with one mission: get Wayne’s World. This was actually a…

An Appreciation – The Lady Eve

July 3rd, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

If someone were to ask me to suggest a film for the sheer enjoyment value, I would point them toward Preston Sturges’ great comedy, The Lady Eve (1941). It is so fun, so witty, and so clever, that it is just a pleasure to watch.…
