Mindhunter (2017) s02e04 – Episode 4
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 29, 2019
It’s back to Atlanta for Holden (Jonathan Groff) and Tench (Holt McCallany); there’s been a kidnapping from someone with the same MO as the as yet unnamed Atlanta Child Killer and they’re calling in the FBI. So our leads are going to be in the background until they can prove (or at least convince read more
Mindhunter (2017) s02e03 – Episode 3
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 28, 2019
It’s a little weird to see “Mindhunter” doing race stuff—and this episode does a lot, not just with it turning out Albert Jones’s Black Southern FBI agent gets on better with other Southerners—Black and White—than Jonathan Groff’s preppy White liberal—but also with Groff thinking he’s read more

The Mighty Kong (1998, Art Scott)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 27, 2019
The Mighty Kong is fairly awful. It’d be nice to say there’s some kind of charm to it, given it’s an animated, family-targeted, period King Kong adaptation, it’s got Dudley Moore’s final performance, and Jodi Benson’s a lot more professional than the production deserves. But it doesn’t read more

Mindhunter (2017) s02e02 – Episode 2
The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 26, 2019
Now this episode feels like “Mindhunter.” It opens with Holt McCallany going to Wichita, with some great “period” Wichita shots, and consulting on the BTK case. There’s a bunch with him and the other cop, a rather nauseating sequence where they walk the crime scene—“Mindhunter,” at its read more

Boudu Saved From Drowning (1932, Jean Renoir)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 25, 2019
I was really hoping Boudu Saved From Drowning would have a spectacular finish so I wouldn’t have to write an opening paragraph about how it’s a pretty funny misanthropic class comedy until the titular character, played by Michel Simon as a mischievous, mean-spirited pervert variation on Chaplin’s read more

A Guy Named Joe (1943, Victor Fleming)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 24, 2019
I’m not sure how to talk about A Guy Named Joe without some spoilers. But I’m going to try. Like a test. A Guy Named Joe is a propaganda picture, but one less about jingoism and more about the American trademarked Freedom. Only it’s a specific kind of Freedom, it’s the kind of Freedom you can read more

Return to Oz (1985, Walter Murch)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 23, 2019
Return to Oz has gumption. It’s got confidence and professionalism too, but its gumption is something different. Director Murch is making it work with what he’s got—a scale limited by budget and reality—because he’s sure of the project. Gumption. He knows he’s got the right lead—eleven read more
