Get Shorty (1995, Barry Sonnenfeld) (1)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 28, 2016
There’s a gentle quality about Get Shorty, an invitation from screenwriter Scott Frank and director Sonnenfeld to dwell. One can also not dwell on the film’s little moments, because it’s got awesome big moments as well. Except Shorty doesn’t have much in the way of set piece read more

Independence Day (1996, Roland Emmerich) (1)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 27, 2016
There’s a mature way to talk about Independence Day. I should know, I’ve started writing this response about twelve times and this attempt is an entirely new draft. The mature way involves complementing David Brenner’s editing, complementing director Emmerich’s ability to in read more

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016, Zack Snyder) (2)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 26, 2016
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is, as a film, just as unwieldy as that title. Director Snyder, through a strange, comforting overconfidence, gets the film through its two and a half hour run time. By the end, when Snyder teases a cliffhanger, teases various comic book references, it’s a d read more

The New, Original Wonder Woman (1975, Leonard Horn) (1)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 21, 2016
There are a number of things to talk about with The New, Original Wonder Woman. It’s a TV pilot movie. It’s a self-contained narrative about Wonder Woman, amiably but not quite enthusiastically played by Lynda Carter, coming to the United States in the middle of World War II. It’s read more
Daredevil (2003, Mark Steven Johnson) (1)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 21, 2016
I like Ben Affleck. Even his early phase–the self-aware, “Bruce Willis doing a Harrison Ford” impression thing actually worked out on occasion. It helped he kept the persona between pictures. Of course, Daredevil comes after Affleck decided to do his own thing. He gets an incomple read more

Wonder Woman (1974, Vincent McEveety) (2)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 15, 2016
Wonder Woman doesn’t work out, but it should. And lead Cathy Lee Crosby is so serious about her performance and the role, even when it’s underwritten, it’s hard not to be sympathetic. John D.F. Black’s simultaneously awful and inventive teleplay recasts Wonder Woman as a spy read more

Lizzie (1957, Hugo Haas) (2)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 15, 2016
Lizzie is about lead Eleanor Parker’s struggle with multiple personality disorder. More accurately perhaps, Lizzie is about Parker’s multiple personality disorder. As a protagonist, Parker disappears fairly quickly into the film’s eighty minute runtime. She doesn’t even get read more
