Chimes at Midnight (1965, Orson Welles)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 27, 2019
Chimes at Midnight opens with Orson Welles and Alan Webb, both aged men in the Medieval Ages, bumbling (probably at least somewhat drunkenly) in for the night; they sit at a fire and gently reminisce about their youth. The scene gives a first look at screenwriter, director, star Welles in all his g read more

The Punisher #26, The Slavers, Part 2 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 27, 2019
The comic opens with Viorica telling Frank what happened to her back in Moldova. Enslaved sex work. Escape. Family (father) rejecting her. Recapture. Ennis splits it into two doses, both for the reader and the characters. In between he introduces the father. Last issue he introduced the son, along read more

The Shadow of the Tower (1972) s01e03 – The Schooling of Apes
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 26, 2019
So the last episode ended with the Queen (Norma West) giving birth to a son, making the King (James Maxwell) feel more secure in his reign. Because now he had an heir and something something. British royalty nonsense. But Maxwell was overjoyed about it to the point it was disturbing to think about read more

Alien: Containment (2019, Chris Reading)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 25, 2019
For the first few minutes—say, three of the short’s nine minute runtime—it seems like Alien: Containment is going to work out. The acting is good. Gaia Weiss is a fine lead, Theo Barklem-Biggs is an okay freaking out guy (he’s in an Alien movie, someone’s got to freak out), but Sharon Duncan-Brewst read more

The Punisher #25, The Slavers, Part 1 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 25, 2019
From the first page, The Slavers is different. And not just because penciller Leandro Fernandez, inker Scott Koblish, and colorist Dan Brown turn in a splash page out of Sin City. No Frank, but a woman with a gun in the rain, screaming as she fires. Frank’s narration—which is going to be near omnip read more

The Shadow of the Tower (1972) s01e02 – Power in the Land
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 24, 2019
This episode tells a loser’s story. He played the game of thrones and he lost. The loser in question is Humphrey Stafford; real guy, wikipedia page and everything, played by Maurice Roëves. Roëves is awesome. He also gets to give more personality to Stafford than anyone else in the episode gets read more

Downton Abbey (2019, Michael Engler)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 23, 2019
I’m trying to decide if Downton Abbey is wholly incomprehensible to someone who didn’t watch the television show, or if they’d appreciate it. Julian Fellowes’s screenplay is very tidy, no loose strings, always the right mix between A, B, and C plots, so one can at least appreciate the pacing read more

The Seeker (2019)
The Stop Button Posted by on Sep 23, 2019
The Seeker is somewhere between somewhat disturbing and very disturbing. Creator Liz Valasco gets somewhere quite profound by the end, then dials it down a notch for the last story beat. It’s too bad, but sort of not surprising. It’s hard to say where Valasco could take for the finish to satisfy. read more
Rambo: Last Blood (2019, Adrian Grunberg)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 22, 2019
Sitting and reflecting on Rambo: Last Blood and the franchise’s thirty-seven year legacy, the best idea of the fixing the film is probably just to have Sylvester Stallone do a bunch of shots training horses. He seems really good with them. And he doesn’t seem really good at anything in Last Blood. read more
