One Potato, Two Potato (1964): Love and Games

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 15, 2022

I was recently marveling how a theater actor I know predominantly from TV show appearances, William Redfield, could show up as an earlier incarnation of himself in an unorthodox film like The Connection.

How Far Can You Push The Con? – House of Games (1987)

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 28, 2018

I actually came to David Mamet’s House of Games a bit sideways. Nowadays, of course, it would catch my eye because of Mamet’s name and my love for his unique style of writing dialogue. However I actually saw House of Games long before I was aware if Mamet as a screenwriter and director. read more

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Review: Patriot Games

ScribeHard on Film Posted by Michael Nazarewycz on Apr 5, 2014

Captain America was my first favorite comic book superhero.  He wasn’t the first superhero I remember liking; that was Spider-Man from reruns of the late-1960s animated series.  Nor was he the superhero I was most exposed to; that was probably a tie between Superman, from reruns of the old read more

House of Games (1987, David Mamet)

The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 30, 2012

House of Games is a very small film, but Mamet and cinematographer Juan Ruiz Anchía manage to make it appear a lot bigger. When there’s no one in a shot, in a public place, except a principal, Mamet makes it seem stylistic instead of budgetary. It’s only during the final fifteen minutes, when there read more

The Adaptation Games: “The Hunger Games” As Book And Movie

We Recycle Movies Posted by Anne Marie on Mar 28, 2012

I’ll be honest; even though I saw “The Hunger Games” (2012 dir. Gary Ross starring Jennifer Lawrence) at midnight on Thursday, I hesitated when deciding what to write about it.  This is partially because so much has been written about it already, and I wasn’t sure how to add my voice to the read more
