Black Orpheus (1959, Marcel Camus)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 23, 2019
There’s a lot to love about Black Orpheus. Director and co-writer Camus does a bunch of great stuff, just not when it comes to how he and Jacques Vito adapt the legend part. Orpheus is about, you know, Orpheus (Breno Mello), who is now a Brazilian trolley car driver slash musician slash dancer, and read more
The Flash (2014) s06e03 – Dead Man Running
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 23, 2019
Congratulations, show, I’m less interested in Indiana Jones Wells than I was Sherlock Holmes Wells. Make better choices with Tom Cavanagh; he’s the show’s second secret weapon (first is Jesse L. Martin, even now); don’t make us wait until halfway through the season to actually like whatever read more

The Punisher #36, Barracuda, Part 6 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 22, 2019
Turns out the big problem with Barracuda isn’t going to be Barracuda not being a great villain or the Wall Street betrayal arc not creating great ones either, but Ennis not really having a finish for Frank. Sure, he’s got a concussion and he’s outgunned, but his big plan in this issue doesn’t read more
Tea Party (1965, Charles Jarrott)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 21, 2019
Tea Party opens with Vivien Merchant getting a job at a toilet bowl company. The second or third shot of Party is a toilet on display. Strikingly weird without the context; director Jarrott and editor Raoul Sobel are enthusiastic about the visual possibilities without really being any good at them. read more

The Flash (2014) s06e02 – A Flash of Lightning
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 21, 2019
It took me a few minutes to realize what’s going on with this episode of “Flash.” It’s a pretty good episode. It’s been a while since the show’s had a pretty good episode without some major qualifications—last season had way too much bad acting from the season guests and way too little read more

The Punisher #35, Barracuda, Part 5 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 21, 2019
It’s a bridging issue but also not. Actually, there are some major plot developments here, just not much involving Frank. Other than him surviving and deciding it’s time to stop screwing around with the Wall Street guys and just take them out; thanks to Barracuda, Frank’s now taking things as read more

The Punisher #34, Barracuda, Part 4 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 20, 2019
This issue makes two things very clear. First, Punisher MAX would’ve been an even more successful book if Goran Parlov had been handling the art chores throughout. His expressions—for the talking heads scenes—are phenomenal. There’s one scene where the big boss is monologuing to his flunkies read more
The Farm (1938, Humphrey Jennings)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 19, 2019
For some reason, The Farm completely ditches what had been a very good sense of humor for the last minute or two. It runs twelve minutes. Losing the humor’s kind of rough, especially since there’s nothing to replace it, just the end of the short. It’s like Farm starts winding down too soon, never read more

The Punisher #33, Barracuda, Part 3 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 19, 2019
Ennis wastes no time getting Frank and Barracuda together this issue. He even goes so far to use coincidence to speed things up—Barracuda’s on his way to New York to take out The Punisher and just happens to see Frank walking off his flight. Dumb luck. And bad luck for Frank, who’s almost completel read more

The Punisher #32, Barracuda, Part 2 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Oct 18, 2019
There’s a lot of action this issue, but it’s all Barracuda doing it. Meanwhile Frank is getting information about why a dirty cop risked it all to take out Wall Street guy Stephens. Frank and Stephens have breakfast in a diner. The diner’s called “Frank’s Favorite Diner.” Not sure if that read more
