Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016, Zack Snyder)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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

Hackers (1995, Iain Softley)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 13, 2016
While Hackers is a terrible film, it does afford one the opportunity to see Jonny Lee Miller attempt to essay his lead role as a Ferris Bueller-type thing, only to instead do a strange rendition of Peter Sellers as Clare Quilty. It’s not worth seeing for this performance, not at all, but if y read more

The Dark Knight Rises (2012, Christopher Nolan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 6, 2016
Much of The Dark Knight Rises is rushed. The film runs over two and a half hours and director Nolan can’t find anything he wants to spend much time on. He’s got a lot of characters to occupy that run time; they occasionally intersect, but rarely long enough to make an impression. Nolan read more
Batman & Robin (1997, Joel Schumacher)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 6, 2016
I’m not going to defend Batman & Robin. It’s not so much a matter of the film being indefensible, it’s just a matter of it being a pointless exercise. And, by defend, I don’t mean identifying who gives the least embarrassing performance (Michael Gough) or who is just jaw read more
