Triangle (2009, Christopher Smith)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 17, 2019
Triangle suffers. It suffers from a bad script, it suffers from wanting performances, it suffers… bad hair continuity. There’s just something off about lead Melissa George’s bangs. Not just she doesn’t seem to acknowledge when they’re in the way, but when she turns around (in an obvious cut read more

The Punisher #11, Kitchen Irish, Part 5 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 17, 2019
Fernandez’s art goes from where it was on the lacking scale last issue to much worse this issue. And someone else noticed, because Dean White’s color work now includes giving the walls textures in addition to doing all the perspective on Fernandez’s faces. It’s a bad turn. And most of it comes read more
The Punisher #9, Kitchen Irish, Part 3 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 16, 2019
Fernandez’s art is so underwhelming the entire issue feels like it’s incomplete. Like it’s storyboards for the actual comic. After the opening shoot out, which Fernandez entirely flubs, it’s a talking heads issue and instead of expressions, Fernandez uses a lot of shadows. Static faces and shadows. read more
The Mind of Mr. Soames (1970, Alan Cooke)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 15, 2019
The Mind of Mr. Soames is preternaturally gentle (which, getting ahead of myself, is kind of the point) but it’s always a surprise how much more gentle it can get. The film doesn’t forebode or foreshadow, even though doing either wouldn’t just be predictable, it might even be appropriate given read more

Run Silent Run Deep (1958, Robert Wise)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 14, 2019
Run Silent Run Deep runs a little short. Just when the film has the most potential does it sort of shrug and finish up real quick. There’s a third act reveal and it’s a good one, but it’s not good enough the movie can end on it. Especially not after it’s just had such a strong second act. Burt read more

The Blue Door (2017, Paul Taylor)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 12, 2019
The Blue Door opens with home healthcare worker Gemma Whelan starting a new job working for infirm, bedridden Janie Booth. The house is a mess—the kitchen is full of dirty dishes, there’s a room with sheets on all the furniture—and Booth is a mess. Whoever last fed her not only didn’t take the read more

The Punisher #8, Kitchen Irish, Part 2 (of 6)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jun 11, 2019
This issue introduces two more groups involved in Kitchen Irish, starting with the British guys. One of them is a Vietnam vet who knows Frank from the war, the other is the son of the last British foot soldier killed in Northern Ireland. The older guy, Yorkie, is bringing the younger guy, Andy, alo read more
Veracity (2015, Seith Mann)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jun 10, 2019
Veracity is exceedingly impressive, in its parts and how they make up the whole. On their own, the filmmaking, the writing, and KiKi Layne’s performance are enough for the short to impress. Each has a different, perfectly suited strength. Mann’s direction flows, moving the camera to catching the read more
