Batman (1943, Lambert Hillyer), Chapter 2: The Bat’s Cave

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 6, 2017

While the resolution to the previous chapter’s cliffhanger is extremely lackluster, The Bat’s Cave sort of recovers as it goes along. It just has to get through Batman Lewis Wilson terrifying butler William Austin with the radioactive laser gun. Then it’s time for villain J. Carol Naish to order read more

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 25, 2014

Peter Jackson's Middle-Earth saga finally lumbers to a halt in THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES. More 21st Century generic film making than J.R.R. Tolkien, this movie isn't any worse--or better--than the first two HOBBIT entries. If you loved the other HOBBIT films, you'll love this one; i read more

TAD13 Review: The Battery

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Pam on Oct 25, 2013

Director/writer/star Jeremy Gardner hasn’t just made a totally solid zombie movie called The Battery. He made it in two weeks for a measly $6,000. I am excessively impressed. Set in a world where zombies roam the earth, professional baseball players Ben and Mickey travel around the countrysid read more

As an undergrad, learning about director Sergei Eisenstein and his association with the Kuleshov School of film theory was imperative, elementary knowledge. The Kuleshov effect, or a montage, is a form of editing believed by proponents read more

Look, I have an abiding love for the Batman. Really I do. I love all of his comic book iterations, his slightly suspect relationship with Robin, and – c’mon – the B-Man has the most amazing rogues gallery of villains. I even loved the idea of a Christopher Nolan directed Christian read more
