Of all the films I have watched so far in the Criterion Channel's Gaslight Noir collection, Blanche Fury (1948) is the darkest, even though it's also the brightest thanks to its use of gorgeous Technicolor. This adaptation of the 1939 novel by Marjorie Bowen (under the pseudonym Joseph Shearing) emp read more

The Sound of Fury opens with a kind of portent. A demonstrative street preacher yells out at the pedestrians walking by to “Prepare to meet thy God and Repent of their sins.” He pretty much gets trampled with all his pamphlets ending up on the ground in a sea of humanity. It’s rea read more

The draw to Desert Fury must begin with its intriguing cast running the range of personalities. John Hodiak and Wendell Corey (in his film debut) are driving into town. There’s this sense that their relationship is familiar but they feel like out-of-towners, somehow bringing a ting of noirish read more

The Divine Fury is a very bad film. It’s not poorly made; director Kim is mediocre, Cho Sang-yun’s photography is good, Koo Ja-wan’s score is fine. Yes, the editing is wanting, but often more because Kim’s mediocre than anything else. Like the big fight scene at the end? The big, very bad, not read more

Promising young stage director Alex Morris is, not unnaturally, devastated by grief when her fiance, Luke, is murdered on the street by a stranger. Knowing how desperate she is to get away from London and all the reminders of what happened, her old drama tutor Robert offers her a job in Edinburgh u read more

Blanche Fury (1948).  Poor Blanche. In a short span, she improves her social station by progressing from servant to governess to the wife of wealthy landowner Laurence Fury. Unfortunately, on her wedding night, she realizes that she's passionately in love with the estate's bitter steward, Phili read more

Kirk Douglas watches his son get abducted. Brian DePalma has made better movies than The Fury (1978), but none that can match it for pure entertainment and craftsmanship. It shows a director, at the peak of his powers, layering science fiction and teen alienation over a conventional suspense plot. read more

We’ve come to the end of the line for this ‘ol blogathon folks, but not before we’ve been attacked by all varieties of creatures great and small, and felt the angry, unforgiving wrath of Mother Nature at her most petulant. It’s been a great honor to host the Nature& read more

After months of planning, days of fretting and untold cups of coffee, the Nature’s Fury Blogathon has finally arrived. I have a bumper crop of reviews for the first day of this three-day celebration of cinematic depictions of disaster and animal-induced mayhem. It’s only the fi read more

Fúria / Fury (1936) Às vezes precisamos de um soco no estômago. Um soco metafórico, obviamente: algo que nos tire da zona de conforto, que nos incomode, que nos deixe insatisfeitos com nós mesmos. Isso é possível com muitos filmes. Isso aconteceu comigo vendo o primeiro filme feito por read more

The Nature’s Fury Blogathon is little more than a month away, and response has been tremendous, with more than 60 participants signed up so far! I’m truly impressed by the variety of titles that are being covered, encompassing several eras of cinema, and can’t wait to read everyone read more

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a year and half since I hosted my first blogathon, the Goldblumathon. Call it inspiration, insanity or self-masochism, but I decided I was long overdue for another go-round.  Behold… What: The Nature’s Fury Blogathon Who: Hoste read more

To say I enjoyed Mad Max: Fury Road is an understatement.  I was thrilled, enthralled, mesmerized and by the end, freakin’ pumped up!  This film is an intense, fun and sprawling modern epic that lands us in a crazy, yet surprisingly beautiful post apocalyptic world.  Usually, I like most best pictu read more

Mad Max : Fury Road (George Miller, 2015) A woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in post apocalyptic Australia in search for her homeland with the help of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper, and a drifter named Max. In this tale of survival, Max (Tom Hardy) is in a dys read more
