Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992, Francis Ford Coppola)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 26, 2019
On one hand, with the Wojciech Kilar score, Bram Stoker’s Dracula can get away with just about anything. On the other, with Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves playing leads… well, it needs something to help it get away with anything. It helps neither Ryder or Reeves are the actual star of the film.

Incomplete thoughts
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 25, 2019
The Internet has fatally wounded big c criticism. Big c criticism got its first major wounding in the mid-nineties with Independence Day. Then it got hit again with Armageddon. So it was down and bleeding and couldn’t defend itself—if it’d known how—for the death blow of social networking. Also, read more
Savage (2018, Cui Siwei)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 24, 2019
Savage is not savage. It’s got some violence, some of it rough, and it’s got some mean bad guys, but it’s never savage. I mean, unless it’s supposed to be referring to hero—more than protagonist or lead—Chang Chen. He beats up some suspects pretty bad at the beginning because he’s mad read more

Ghost Ship (2002, Steve Beck)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 22, 2019
I am going to set a goal for myself with this post about Ghost Ship; I’m going to try to make it entertaining, which is going to be a challenge because there’s nothing entertaining about Ghost Ship. It’s badly directed and badly written. The actors are bad. They’re good actors and okay actors read more

To Have and Have Not (1944, Howard Hawks)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 20, 2019
Whatever To Have and Have Not’s original intent—not just novel versus film but film in pre-production to film completed—what it ends up doing and doing better than maybe anything else ever is star-make. To Have and Have Not showcases Lauren Bacall in constantly imaginative ways, including how read more

Watchmen (2019) s01e03 – She Was Killed by Space Junk
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 19, 2019
So the first couple episodes of “Watchmen” have only hinted at having an actual Watchmen character in it; it took until this episode for the show to confirm, in fact, Jeremy Irons is playing architect of the end of the world and therefor its savior, Ozymandias. He even puts on the costume. And, read more
Becker (1998) s01e12 – Love! Lies! Bleeding!
The Stop Button Posted by on Nov 19, 2019
Either I made the comment you knew “Becker” was troubled when not even a solid sitcom director like Andy Ackerman could make an episode work or I meant to make that comment. This episode has Ackerman back and, this time, he’s able to compensate for some of writer Michael Markowitz’s stumbles. read more
