Avengers: Endgame (2019, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 26, 2019
Avengers: Endgame had the ending I was hoping for, but maybe not necessarily the right ending for the movie. And it’s only got one. If Endgame has any singular successes, it might be in its lack of false endings. It does a lot of establishing work, sometimes new to the film, sometimes refreshing it read more

A Shock to the System (1990, Jan Egleson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 24, 2019
A Shock to the System is almost a success. It’s real close. It has all the right pieces, it just doesn’t have enough time at the end to put them away in their new arrangement. Everything’s in disarray because the film changes into a thriller—with a different protagonist—for a while in the read more

Best of luck on future projects
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 24, 2019
“I hate writing about great films. I absolutely hate it.” From November 2005. Came across it on a project I’m not ready to talk about yet because I haven’t decided if I’m doing it yet. I’m “testing” the project, because it’s a big one and of questionable reward, even creatively. Well, read more
The Godfather: Part III (1990, Francis Ford Coppola), the director’s cut
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 23, 2019
Here’s an all-encompassing theory to explain The Godfather Part III, based only on on-screen evidence (i.e. ignoring production woes, casting woes, rewrites, budget and schedule comprises, and whatever else). Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo hate everyone in the film and everyone who will ever read more

There should be only two.
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 23, 2019
I remember not hating Godfather 3 as a kid. Not in 1990. Not on the golden VHS tapes. But I do remember never watching it again. I remember buying the VHS tape used at some point, but I don’t think I ever watched it. There’s a slim chance I marathoned Godfather at some point. But by my late teens, read more
Biddi-biddi-boo, Or: The Eltingville Prescience – The Eltingville Club HC
The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 23, 2019
Either Evan Dorkin’s got the Eltingville TV rights back or whoever has them is a complete numbskull because the book’s so relevant you could subtitle it “An Incel Fable” and it’d be totally appropriate, narratively speaking. But it’d be somewhat intellectually dishonest, as Dorkin started read more
The Predator (2018, Shane Black)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 21, 2019
The Predator has a really short present action, which is both good and bad. Good because one wouldn’t want to see screenwriters Fred Dekker and director Black try for longer, bad because… well, it gets pretty dumb how fast things move along. Dekker and Black don’t do a good job with the expository read more
